Hi all, You can check out the new Garfield Community Farm page that we've started here. It is right now still a stub, of course. Llh19 (talk) 00:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hi all, this would be a good place to share tips about referencing. You'll need to type { { reflist } } (no spaces) before Wikipedia will allow references to be posted. So far I have not found the "Help" in the editing box to be helpful for references nor the best route to take for adding references. My advice: go to another Wikipedia page that has correct references, click "edit," then copy/paste the referencing code into your own and edit from there.Llh19 (talk) 00:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)Llh19[reply]

Assignment

As instructed for the 11/3 class, I have created a username( User: Cs2701 ) and joined my group the Hill District Heroes. Our Group will be editing and expanding the Sala Udin stub for our article. For Practice I have edited the Oakwood (Pittsburgh) and the Pittsburgh Blues Festival Wikipedia stubs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cs2701 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For practice I have edited the Medical social work page. --Mschug (talk) 13:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Example

Hi, does anyone have a link to a good article on Wikipedia about a community? It would be helpful if my group had an example so we can focus our research and create new sections where necessary. Thanks! --Battlefield1181 (talk) 19:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check Wikipedia:Good articles/Geography and places and Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Geography_and_places. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! --Battlefield1181 (talk) 00:25, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviews

I have reviewed Talk:Shadyside_(Pittsburgh)#Review, focusing on the Manual of Style issues. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today I have found time for Talk:Children's_Institute_of_Pittsburgh#Review. This article is WP:DYK-eligible, good job! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added to Talk:South_Side_(Pittsburgh)#Review. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:41, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And now Talk:Sala Udin#Review. This article is WP:DYK-eligible, good job again! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:49, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Piotrus, Thanks for giving us feedback. I nominated several of our articles for the DYK section as you suggested, but they were all removed immediately because "too old, not expansion, other problems"--what should we do? Llh19 (talk) 19:21, 29 November 2010 (UTC)Llh19[reply]

I'd have to see the exact removal diff / comment, but I do believe the the nomination deadlines was missed (IIRC both of your class' eligible articles were expansions, they have to be nominated 5 days after the expansion occurs). In the future, when you become more familiar with how WP:DYK works, this should be easier - it is common for many new editors to miss DYK deadlines. Anyway, I'll ask the editors who decline your noms to explain their rationale to you. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:58, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed those 4 nominations after they have been reviewed by other editors and myself. Before nominating, please check whether the nominated article

meets novelty criteria, i.e. it should be written or 5x expanded by "prose count" within 5 days from nomination.
referenced - DYK requires at least one reliable in-line reference to cover each paragraph, except for plots (movie, book) and the lead.
contains basic grammar and formatting errors. In particular, use of bare urls in references is not allowed on DYK.

I will explain my abrupt comments upon specific questions. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 00:25, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
