From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

updating website that relates to our own company

Hi, we want to improve the information relating to our company website by deleting invalid sections, putting in most recent data. This is not from a marketing point of view but making it accurate. When I try and delete entire old sections it won't let me and I get a warning. I can't find out how I can do a large update to the content. Please help

There is a problem with adding promotional material to this article, especially if you have a conflict of interest. I've requested on your talk page to please discuss the addition of any material, especially material that can be considered promotional or from its original source, either at the article's talk page or at WP:FINANCE, first. Thank you, --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:45, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

J. W. McGarvey was a leading minister, educator, and writer in the American Restoration Movement (Disciples of Christ, Christian Churches, Churches of Christ) from the 1860s to the turn of the 20th century. His Bible commentaries and topical works are still very influential among the conservative adherents of this persuasion. He was also a pivotal figure in the controversies that led to the division between these groups.

I'm new at Wikipedia writing and would appreciate any help to make this article better. Haimericus (talk) 02:47, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very good, but the references are intended to act as the bibliography and notes and sources - you can use them like this...
References
  • Take a statement or paragraph the reference supports.
    • Wikipedia has a main page.
  • Fill out one of these for it
    • {{cite book |title= |last= |first= |publisher= |isbn= |pages= |accessdate=}}
    • {{cite web |url= |title= |author= |publisher= |accessdate=}}
  • Put <ref> and </ref> around it and you have...
    • Wikipedia has a main page.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Main_Page|title=Main Page of Wikipedia|author=Wikipedians|publisher=Wikimedia Foundation|accessdate=August 27, 2010 }}</ref>
  • (which makes the following)
    • Wikipedia has a main page.[1]
  • the referneces will appear, formatted, in the references section, where you have a {{Reflist}} as seen below:

  1. ^ Wikipedians. "Main Page of Wikipedia". Wikimedia Foundation. Retrieved August 27, 2010.

Also, make sure to keep a disinterested tone and links to outside of Wikipedia are like this...

  • [URL TO WEBPAGE what text shows]
  1. example:
  • [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback/2010_August_27&action=edit&section=2 Reply To This When You're done reading]
  1. which makes...

Hope that helps! ~ QwerpQwertus Talk 03:34, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I think I get the citation formatting now. When I get time I will work them out. The "disinterested tone" is tough, but thanks for pointing it out. I'll try harder. Haimericus (talk) 21:09, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Just want to check if anything else needs to be done on this article! 212.200.157.166 (talk) 12:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I finished this article and moved it out of my workspace earlier this month. Any additional thoughts for clean-up? Thanks!

Please review the Wiki I have created for Coats Funeral Home- one of the oldest funeral homes in the Metro Detroit area.

Thanks for you help- any feedback is welcome!

Despite its long history, and a single article in local newspaper, the article does not establish notability. See WP:COMPANY. Thanks for requesting feedback. Mitartep (talk) 01:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this article for my global work community. I would like a review to ensure it meets all of wikipedia's standards.

Hi, I've included information for this entry that can be found in articles from the College paper, though I'm not sure how to cite within the text. I'm going to look further through Wikipedia tutorials, but I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the actual content of the article itself and how I could find someone to help me create it.

Munchogusto (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I greatly expanded the article. Revised intro, added infobox, complete company history, info on current events

I worked hard on this article, researched the hell out of it. I'm just looking for general comments or feedback.

Thanks Brendanmccabe (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello have piles of links and references, so did not include them all. Plus I'm not completely adept at making the links and putting them in the right places.

So, overall, any feedback welcome re: content, arrangement, and/or editorial technical stuff.

All the Best,

JCM
