AFC

Since I submitted the article, I'm gonna get all of the notifications by accident. Someone left a comment on you article. Le Panini (^{Talk to}_me?) 16:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Le Panini how can we change it so I get the notifications, not you? I couldn’t see a comment... where is that? This is my first ever page! Ruthhenrietta (talk) 15:52, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article has been submitted, comments will no longer happen. When an article is submitted for review, users can make comments about the process. They were deleted when the article was published. Le Panini (^{Talk to}_me?) 15:55, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Le Panini thanks... so much to learn Ruthhenrietta (talk) 16:02, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minor style points

Hi. Congratulations on publication of your article Thomas Daniel (merchant).

I wanted to point out, for future reference, some of the finer points of Wikipedia style (I took care of them here):

Quotes: WP uses "straight" quotes and apostrophes (" and '), not the "curly" versions used often in print media (“” and ‘’).

Dashes: When a range of page numbers or years is written, it is done with an unspaced en dash, e.g., "pp. 185–208", "1895–1913". The en dash character can be inserted with the toolbar at the bottom of the edit window (it's character on the first button after "Insert:" when you select "Wiki markup" in the drop-down at the top left. Alternatively, you can use the HTML character entity –, e.g., 2010–2020, which renders as "2010–2020". Other circumstances that include a space in one or both terms, like a range of full birth and death dates, call for a spaced en dash, most easily accomplished with the {{Snd}} template, e.g., 16 September 1762{{Snd}} 6 April 1854, which renders as "16 September 1762 – 6 April 1854".

"Link trailing": [[Creditor|creditors]] can be better written as [[creditor]]s. This uses the feature that page names are case-sensitive except for the first letter – either upper or lower-case can be used and it will properly link to the article with the upper-case first letter (as all articles generally have). Additionally, if a page name is for the singular of an object (in this case, "Creditor"), you can still create a link to it from a dervied word by simply following the linked root with the modifying suffix (or pretty much any normal string of letters). E.g.: [[appeal]]ing renders as appealing; [[red]]dest renders as reddest. However, be careful not to overuse this feature – sometimes, the plural and the singular can have different usage and separate articles, especially with demonyms, like Ghanaian / Ghanaians.

MOS:ELLIPSIS describes WP's style for uses of ellipses. Basically, do not use the ellipsis character (…; U+2026). Instead, use three periods, usually preceded by a non-breaking space (except at the beginning of a quote, where it is followed by a non-breaking space instead): "... Alderman Daniel became the idol of one side, ... on the occasion of the lamentable ....

Happy editing! —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 01:48, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

user:AlanM1 Alan thank you SO much for these tips... 40 years ago I got a typography degree, so I can really get into the nitty gritty detail. I’ve learnt loads from doing my first page, and frankly I’m thrilled it was published straight away. Am impressed by how collaborative the Wiki community is.

"Descendants"

Hi! I just wanted to say, I was driving down from Scotland on Wednesday evening and turned this on, and found your contribution in particular utterly spellbinding.

And then, completely out of the blue and matter-of-fact you said "There's an article on Wikipedia about Thomas Daniel, which I wrote, based on all my research", and I clapped out loud.

I hope it's okay, I was so taken with it that I've mentioned it on the "What's making you happy this week" thread on the Wikipedia Weekly facebook group [1]

As I wrote there, the media is full of people all the time 'looking things up' on Wikipedia; but this to me was great, a mainstream media item reminding people that Wikipedia is written, not just read; and saying this in passing just as the most matter-of-fact thing in the world. As well as the really interesting content it was in relation to.

So thank you so much. (And nice article, too!) -- Jheald (talk) 21:57, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - I'm so sorry that I've only just seen your message about listening to Descendants and the Thomas Daniel article... if you get this message, I'd like to know more about your interest in him! Ruth Ruthhenrietta (talk) 16:03, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jheald I don't know how to use wiki well - see my msg toyou above! Ruthhenrietta (talk) 16:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
