Cambridge House (organisation) article draft

Hi, Nkannas! I have added a couple of references, and tidied up a couple of yours. I don't know if you've seen it, but a useful resource for the history is IVAR's "From Settlement to Community Anchor: The enduring value of Cambridge House" Report. I've only referenced one bit from that, but it could be useful for other information - just one word of warning... don't copy it, rewrite in your own words! Then just cite as below:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.<ref name="ivar"/>

This week is going to be hectic for me, so I'm not sure how much time I'll get to look at the article - but I'll try to look at it again next week. In the meantime, you might want to ask a couple of editors who have commented about it to have a look, to see how they think it could be further improved and/or if it is ready to be put onto the main Wikipedia (in particular, I'm thinking of Orangemike and Ukexpat who left a message on the discussion page and the help desk query respectively- if you do contact them via their talk pages (Orangemike's talk page, Ukexpat's talk page), make sure you give the link to User:Nkannas/Cambridge_House_(organisation) so they know where to look!)

If you use any of the following sources of information, you only need to use the citation reference shown (just add the <ref...> bit after the bit of information which comes from the source):

Cambridge House's "About" page: <ref name="about"/>

Cambridge House's "History" page: <ref name="history"/>

Cambridge House's "Services" page: <ref name="services"/>

IVAR's report: <ref name="ivar"/>

Colin Rochester's book (only the forward was written by John Posford): <ref name="rochester-history"/>

If you have any questions, just contact me! Regards, -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 12:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spacing and appearance

Hi, just a quick note: If you start a line with a space, the line will show with a box around it:

This line starts with a space

On a connected note, if you want to indent text, you use colons:

With one colon (i.e. : With one colon)

With two colons (i.e. : With two colons)

With three colons (i.e. : With three colons)

With four colons (i.e. : With four colons)

Regards (this is a fleeting visit to wikipedia, as I'm in the middle of something else and am taking a few mins out!) -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 14:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cambridge House (organisation)

Done - moved per your request. I am going to do a little clean up in a moment. – ukexpat (talk) 14:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will add a hatnote to the other article point back to this one. I think that's the best we can do. – ukexpat (talk) 14:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not possible for two articles to have exactly the same title, that's why we use disambiguation parentheses (the (organisation) bit in this case). It may be that the internal search engine indexer has not yet caught up with the page move. Give it a day or two and search again, by then it will probably have been indexed. – ukexpat (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the file in your user contributions -- are you sure it was uploaded? In any event, you can upload the smaller version with the same file name and it will overwrite the larger version. – ukexpat (talk) 16:40, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cambridge House logo.jpg

Hi Nkannas!

I'm glad to see that Ukexpat moved the article to mainspace.

I've a simple question about the logo. Under "Other information" it says Permission to use image from Cambridge House and Talbot granted.

Can I just clarify - did they give permission using the guidelines given in Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission?

The permission required by Wikipedia is very specific:

Any free license must allow all of the following, for both the image itself as well as any modified versions based on it:

1. Modification

2. Redistribution

3. Use for any purpose, including commercial purposes.

The only restrictions allowable are proper attribution of the creator and the requirement that derivative works are similarly licensed.

Basically, permission needs to be sent (preferable using the pro-forma) following the instructions given at Requesting copyright permission above.

If you have any questions, just contact me! -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 00:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again!

If you look at the website, it says at the bottom of the page © Cambridge House and Talbot 2009 - and anyway, unless otherwise noted a logo tends to be copyright to the organisation involved. I am contacting Cambridge House using the guidelines given above, asking for permission to use the logo under the relevant license. If they say yes, no problems. If however, they decline to give permission, then the logo will need to be removed! I'll get back to you when I hear from them. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 14:50, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ps I have asked that if they want an alternative image used, and agree with the licensing, then they can send that to me to upload to wikipedia. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 15:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
