Since you and User:Irene1209 are working on closely related texts which have no wiki articles you should both create stubs soon so that people know you are working on them; and you could usefully collaborate, sharing sources and an introductory section on Defoe' s proposals for social reform. --Jfclegg (talk) 23:46, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

[edit]

Hi there, this is the tutorial for the Visual Editor, regarding references: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide#Editing_references More specifically, here https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#WP:IBID you can see that the usage of ibid is discouraged. A few alternatives are given, but they are mostly to be inserted with the manual editor... --Navarco (talk) 10:00, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I forgot about the second question. You could use this kind of structure:

==See also==
* Wikilink 1
* Wikilink 2
{{reflist|2}}
==References==
* Full Citation 1
* Full Citation 2
* Full Citation n
==External links==
===Here===
* Link 1
===There===
* Link 2

Hope this helps --Navarco (talk) 10:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Augusta Triumphans, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Madhouse and Academy of music. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Images

[edit]

Hi Ml17221746, have you considered adding at least an image to the article Augusta Triumphans? A portrait of Defoe, or an image of London at the time, or the first page of the first edition of the pamphlet, or anything else you can come up with, for that matter.--Navarco (talk) 14:20, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of suggestions

[edit]

I have started looking (in a desultory way! ) at a few Wikipedia articles - many congratulations on yours! Very full and well documented. I have made a few revisions a propos of the Societies for the Reformation of Manners. The wiki article on them is terrible! Diomnt confuse with the Societies for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge. You might cite the Great Law of Subordination, a well known pamphlet by Defoe on the 'servant problem'. --Jfclegg (talk) 19:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"John Hopkins" and Combinerefs...

[edit]

In two of your recent articles (Parochial Tyranny and An essay upon projects ), I've noticed two things that you may want to do differently. Firstly, the university (and the University Press) is "Johns Hopkins University" not "John Hopkins University". Secondly, Wikipedia has the ability to do named refs so that references don't have to repeated multiple times. See WP:NAMEDREFS. Happy Editing!Naraht (talk) 04:29, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
