Shomer Shabbat

Greetings. I've edited on WP for awhile. But I'd like some help learning how articles are assessed and how I might improve an article. For starters, I'd be grateful if somebody could glance at Shomer Shabbat, tell me it's quality rank, and what are the key steps needed for improvement. Thanks. HG | Talk 07:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Loss of session data

I recently attempted to create a new page/article (title: Cooperative living arrangements). After spending considerable time to input text, I hit "Save page".

I then got a screen that said, "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again."

My new article appeared as "Preview". When I clicked "Article" to see how it looked there, it disappeared and, in spite of much searching, I have not been able to find it again.

How does this happen?

Can I retrieve my input in any way?

Do I have to start all over again?

If I do start over, how do I know that the same thing won't happen again?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi! When the session data was lost, the article was never saved. If you had clicked the "Save Page" button again, you might have been able to save it that time. Unfortunately, by clicking the "article" link at the top, you canceled the edit, and as it was not saved, it will have been lost, unless you are using Firefox (possibly others) and you can get back to it by clicking the "back" button. If this is no longer possible, because you have closed your browser since then, I'm sorry to say that it will have been lost. If you want to create the page, you will have to start over, but to stop you from losing it again if the problem recurs, then I suggest copying the contents of the page to a text editor, and saving it on your machine. Then if you do lose it again, you can easily copy-and-paste it back. This is a problem that usually occurs when spending a long time editing. I hope that this helps.

Pandora Jewelry

I'd just like a fresh opinion on this article I've written... User:Pairadox believes it reads like an advert and whilst I've made a number of changes I just can't see what else can be tightened. Is it a case of author-blindness? I've never written a product article before but thought I'd actually done a decent job of keeping things verifiable and neutral. Thanks PageantUpdater talk • contribs 23:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

call me naive, but I can really see much wrong with it either...

The brand concept is "one for every unforgettable moment". It is suggested that beads be added to a bracelet to recognise special moments in the wearer's life.[7][8]

This was the only part I found a bit dodgy, because reworded it could seem like we are just placing their slogan for free marketing for the company, but I can compare it to an article on ask,(the internet search engine that is), and that its typified by the "ask jeeves" slogan and in the same way that Google has "google it". I think it tows the line. But as ever, lets wait for a second opinion.

You could also ask the person who tagged it in the first place to overview it again if you haven't already asked.--Kerotan^{Leave Me a Message} Have a nice day :) 00:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I should have noted their comments here, sorry about that (don't forget that I've done some rewriting since they wrote this...)

"It's a very well crafted article in many respects, but it still reads like advertising. There's the detailed products list, right down to a price range. There's the hype in the lead about their growth without a section in the body of the article that corresponds to it, nor any perspective to that growth. The tone of the entire article is one of unmitigated praise, right down to the PR-like mention of charity works."

My comments were that as it is a product article, I felt that it followed to include a detailed description of the products sold. The comment about the growth is valid but I got that fact from an article which didn't give it much context either. I think it was impressive and worth mentioning, though. As for the last bit... well I just don't see it. PageantUpdater talk • contribs 00:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

And I agree that the "concept" sentence is a bit clunky, but I couldn't quite figure out what to do with it. That is basicaly the whole premise behind the bracelet, that people buy you beads to symbolise special moments in your life (birthdays, Christmas, graduation etc) Its too important to simply not include.

Template on Hamlet (bibliographies)

Hi, I wrote an entry Hamlet (bibliographies) which, after seeing a template on top about its style, I rewrote where I could conceive rewriting in a quick chock-a-block entry on rapid information finding.

New Article

I would like to submit the following article for inclusion in Wikipedia:

The Urshan Gateway Library is an academic library that supports the faculty, staff, and students of Urshan Graduate School of Theology and Gateway College of Evangelism. Collection development began with the acquisition of the personal library of Ernest E. Jolley, a United Pentecostal Church minister. Rev Jolley’s library was donated to Gateway College of Evangelism and consisted of almost ten thousand volumes. This donation was catalogued and shelved in one of the large classrooms. A major shift in the library took place in 2001 when the Urshan Graduate School of Theology began operation. Intentional acquisition of material relevant to curriculum and research of the school’s professional staff became a top priority. The library now consists of approximately 40,000 holdings with 30,000 titles. Future development will broaden to other formats but printed manuscript is the prefer medium for present development.

He was executive script consultant and writer on Police Woman for four years. Same for: In The Heat of The Night, Paris, The Man & The City, Owen Marshall. He wrote a book -- "All About The Beatles" and numerous TV movies -- "This Town Will Never Be The Same", he Sister and The Savage". "The Boy Who Drank Too Much", "Janek". He Also worked in England on "Strange Report" with Anthony Quayle. Ed wrote for "The Defenders", "East Side/West Side" plus several episodes of Marcus Welby, MD, Ironside, Seaway and many more. He cowrote "The Legend of Lyllah Clare with Robert Thom as a television movie -- they sold it to Robert Aldrich and it was made into a theatrical starring Kim Novak. Ed was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 19, 1926, attended the High School of Music and Art, Columbia College and Columbia School of Journalism. He started out as a reporter on the Hartford Courant newspaper -- eventually became editor of Front Page Detective.

New edit today

I added information to the Abdullah Ibrahim (jazz pianist) page, expanding information on the contents of a long playing record from 1977 called THE JOURNEY. I thought it might add value to add a .jpg image of the front and back of the cover. However I need clearance first that posting the two images wont be a contravention of any rights e.g. copyright?

Not sure where you post a reply to this question? Thank you.

Structure of the Sindy article

I have rewritten the article for the Sindy doll (diff) and would love to get some feedback about the structure of the article.

Also, is anything else lacking? I know the article really needs images, but I don't have access to any myself. Thanks! Somno (talk) 02:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi DigitalMediaAcademy. There are a few problems with the article that I can see. 1) No independent, reliable sources to establish notability, 2) the article was written by someone who has a conflict of interest, 3) it's not written in a particularly neutral point of view (e.g. "exclusive learning experiences", "prestigious universities").

Walkman effect

I just created the Walkman effect article earlier this afternoon. It's the first Wikipedia page I've started and my first major edit. There are a couple things that I still plan to add or tweak when I have a few minutes, but I would love some feedback/corrections particularly on style stuff:

• First and foremost, I couldn't figure out how to reuse references; you'll see at the bottom there are duplicates and triplicates of a couple articles.
• There's a little bit of tense switching at times when it seemed appropriate, but I don't know if there's a Wikipedia guideline about it.
• When citing sources, it seems like most Wikipedia articles just use a ref link instead of using the source's name (or instead of doing both). I tended towards using the names quite a bit. I know that use of (Ibid)s is not so Wiki-friendly, but the frequency with which I say "Hosokawa" in here might be a bit much. When should you use a ref/footnote and that's it?
• Thanks :)

Norma Adams Clemons Academy

The official name for Public School 6, located at 43 Snyder Avenue, is "The Norma Adams Clemons Academy". Norma Adams Clemons was the first principal of the school formerly known as "PS 6".

During her tenure, she was well respected and liked by both students and staff alike. It is widely believed that she held her staff to the commitment of hard work and putting the students first. This bond led her to defend them stoutly against supervisors from both the district and the region.

Her outstanding leadership qualities motivated many paraprofessionals to pursue degrees to become teachers. This is a major part of her legacy.

Harlow

Harlow 80's Glam Band

Harlow was formed in 1985 in Kansas City, Missouri. Mickey Kravitz, a singer with a vision to put together a glam band that the kids in Kansas City. Having been majority influenced by bands like The Sweet, T-Rex, Angle, Piper, Starz, he stared his search.. A local cover band The Bad Boyz were also looking for a new singer to write original music with to try a get signed. He joined up with Hyland Church on guitar, guitarist Matt Cascio, drummer Mike Rubyor, and on bass, Gregg Hurla. The band found an old 6 story building in down town KC and started writing, the band decided that to do what they were trying to accomplish, they needed to live together so they could eat, drink and breath this vision. Harlow started playing local parties and The Uptown Theater, a 1500 seat venue. The show went so well that the band started to headline shows there with other local bands. Also, the band’s reputation grew for being known for their drinking, partying and especially all the girls. Their house was a constant party unless they were practicing. On more than one occasion, the police would bust up a party and take one of the band members to lock-up and then the people at the house would pass around a hat to gather money to bail them out.

The band hooked up with the manger of local band that had ties with Greenworld Records to record there debut record ‘We do what we wanna do” at Chapman Studios with the band producing and Mike Frasier engineering. The song “Rock the Box” was added as a bonus track and was recorded at Chapman’s after a long night of partying at a bar and inviting 20 or so people over to the studio to sing backup vocals. “Rock the box” received a small amount of airplay in the United States

In 1986 the band out grew KC and packed up and moved to Los Angeles. In 1986 being the height of the glam scene They fit right in on the Sunset strip. The band started playing, recording and building a following. 1989 the band split and went there separate ways. Mickey went on to play and record with Baby Strange and Vendetta, Hyland joined Suite 19, Grave Danger and teamed up with ex-Dubrow and Invasion guitarist Greg Leon, and then on to DC 4. Mike and Matt moved back to KC and put together a couple of recording projects. Gregg moved over to the country side of music.

In 2005 Cleopatra records re-released the single "Rock the Box" on the box Set "Hollywood Rocks" along with other 80's rockers Poison, L.A. guns, Faster Pussycat, Great White, etc… Now in 2008, Harlow has signed a deal with Retrospect Records. They are releasing a full-length album in June. The band has written some new material and will add 5 new songs with the original unreleased EP. The New CD "Now and Then" will b out spring 2008

A requested article which I wrote from scratch. I'm looking for additional information that's lacking and that sort of thing. Any comments are welcome. --Liempt (talk) 21:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

There are a number of small things to be corrected. I'm going to do a little copyedit on your article, trying to avoid changing meaning. I'll explain the changes I've made in Discussion.

Since your sources are Catholic, it's not surprising that this article emphasizes Catholic usage. However, other churches use a crucifix, which will probably come to their attention (or to the attention of a general copyeditor) as showing bias -- even though you probably did not intend any. (As always, assume Good Faith, lol.)

There's an existing article Crucifix, that is in reasonably good shape, and you may want to consider the bigger picture that your material should be worked into that article, rather than being a different article.

Author William Heffernan

Your information on William Heffernan states that you do not know the place or date of his birth. Author William Heffernan was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on August 22, 1950. Hopes this helps.

Thanks, I've added the info to William Heffernan. Do you happen to have a source for it? –Pomte 18:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

INTO University Partnerships

I have created this article and would like feedback on it, especially ideas on links or categories that should be included. I posted a similar notice asking for comments on a couple of project noticeboards and got nothing except one rather disheartening one here, which says "Conflict of interest is obvious, and notability needs to be asserted." I really don't see the problems alluded to (not specified, and that editor hasn't weighed in again to be more precise), given the sources I've quoted, but I do accept that I am by definition too close to the forest to see all the trees. Any help would be appreciated. BusinessAsUnusual (talk) 11:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Wetlands restoration will produce an unstable or stable Mississippi River?

Please review the below article I published on the internet. I will publish it under Mississippi River as an external link in Wikipedia after the review.

The below writings will provide information for both sides of the fence and one side will produce an more unstable river and the other side will produce a river with essentially no added unstability.

The present Master Plan for wetlands restoration of South Louisiana only covers one side of the fence. The plan discusses 20% to 30% of the river being diverted along the Mississippi River between Donaldsonville and the mouth of the river and, I believe, this will make the river unstable. The other side of the fence is diverting with keeping the river stable and I want to share some ideas of how, I believe, to keep the river stable.

Please see below link:

What if a page already exist for that name?

Hi, I am trying to add a page on Charles Wilson, the R&B singer. However, there are several Charles Wilson pages and everytime I do a search, I keep getting a master list. How do I add a page if the name is already there but it is not the person I want to add? Thanks, maryewilkins Maryewilkins (talk) 08:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• I would start a page with the name and then the disambiguation (R&B). Like: Charles_Wilson_(R&B_singer). If you click there, you have the option of starting the page since it doesn't exist. --DigitalGadget 09:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Comb binding

Resolved.

I've got two chunky tables that are fighting on this page. I don't think anything should get tossed because I feel it's useful, but what would be a better way to flow the page and align/border the tables? --DigitalGadget 09:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

National Museum of Beirut‎

Hi, i started editing this article which was only a stub, i couldn't find much references even though the subject is of importance since the museum holds the one of the largest repertoires of Phoenician artifacts. after my edit and expansion i still feel that the article is very weak in many aspects... Help is graced Elie plus (talk) 18:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I feel that the article is pretty good. Needs a little work, sure, but definitely a great beginning. Lazulilasher (talk) 19:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Very good article. I have one remarks about the logo though: If this is indeed the museum's official logo, it might be protected even if you created the image file yourself. I will look for a place to learn more. --Yooden ☮

Do you guys think it's suitable to be reviewed for GA? Eli+ 12:10, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd say yes. --Yooden ☮

Vereniging Basisinkomen

Hi,

I'd like some comments and help with Vereniging Basisinkomen, especially since in this case I have a COI. Recently, some users from nl:Wikipedia showed up and are questioning my every edit, and every article that I have ever worked on, even from ages back. Guido den Broeder (talk) 13:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I guess you refer to the AFD entry. I commented on that.

The section Basic income in The Netherlands seems to be too long. I'd suggest to cut it back to avoid problems.

As for the background problems, my impression is that all of you should sit together, talk it through and maybe get a binding agreement. I noticed that not everyone involved is ready to do this, so I'm afraid the problem will come back. --Yooden ☮

Article On CIPS

Resolved.

I just added the article Center for Integrated Plasma Studies, see my disclaimer on the talk page. I belive i have avoided WP:COI and WP:NPOV issues. But I would like any assistance in going over the page and fixing any problems and bringing them up to par. (Also it should pass notability as there are a bunch of other Univ. of Colorado departments listed.) --21:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Help is needed for a new contributor

HI,

I need to clean up an article I submitted: Bellefonte Forge House

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to this, so may be somewhat slow in knowing what to do next.

Thanks

KeithKoch KeithKoch (talk) 15:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

It's quite good. Even to the extent that editorial comments are more nits, than anything. (But I'll make a few, anyhow, lol.)

It would be helpful if more of your edits were combined in to a single "Save Page", so that the Page History had a handful of your changes, instead of dozens. There are various reasons for this, but you'll get a sense of why soon enough. Suffice it to say, other editors will want to review the history.

help needed to post article on award winning producer-director Nina Rosenblum

I entered an article about Nina Rosenblum, but it must have been removed, even though it was not listed on the deletion list. I had about 10 references including the NY Times at the end of the article. What happened to it? It was original writing about an Oscar nominated, two time IDA award documentary film producer/director Nina Rosenblum, with an esteemed 30 year career as a major player in the documentary community. She is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and has produced with HBO, PBS, BS, Showtime and many other tv stations. Please let me know how best to post the article.

Farm Fresh to You

Farm Fresh To You is a subscription Community Supported Agriculture provider of organic produce based in Capay Valley, California. The farm was started in 1976 by two-back-to-the-landers, Martin Barnes and Kathleen Barsotti who were raised in California suburbs.

Inspired by University of California, Davis professor Isao Fujimoto, the farm began as a garden on rented land. The couple helped to start the Davis Certified Farmers' Market [4] and the Davis Food Coop Storefront [5] before moving with their twin boys to 22 acres in Capay Valley in 1979. The farm was one of the earliest in Yolo County to have organic certification from the California Certified Organic Farmers [6]

Local sales were supplemented by sales to San Francisco Bay area farmers' markets and to wholesalers such as Veritable Vegetables [7] and Greenleaf Produce [8] Two more sons were born, but in 1990 the couple suffered a marital breakup leaving Kalthleen to manage the business. She founded the Farm Fresh to You subscription CSA in 1992, and it soon became an essential element in the farm's income.

Kathleen died from breast cancer in 2000 leaving her sons to inherit the farm. They expanded the farm, buying and renting land from neighbors, and establishing a retail store, Capay Organic, at the San Francisco Ferry Building.

By 2008 Farm Fresh to You had grown to over 4000 families in Northern California making it one of the largest CSA farms. The boys have kept alive the ideals of their pioneering parents by providing fresh, organically grown food, husbanding the land, and respecting the farm's employees.

I and a few other editors have done a lot of general improvement to Land Value Tax, but it failed its Good Article submission because it lacked a NPOV.

Geography Statistics Tables

I have created a set of geography statistics tables in a user subpage User:Bejjinks/ sandbox. I haven't done much filling in the information. At this time, I'm focusing on the layout of the table.

It looks to me like it's trying to pack too much information into a single graph. For reducing the information content, you could look at list of African countries as what I think is a good example. And if you were intending for this to be only one graph per country/city/whatever, something like an infobox would be more appropriate (Template:Infobox U.S. state for example). I'm not sure what to tell you if you had something else in mind. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the list of African countries. That is close to what I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to create an infobox because I want people to be able to compare one region with another without having to look up each region individually. There are only two differences between what I'm trying to do and the list of African cou
