User:Mlane78212/Chateau de la Motte, Joue du Plain, Thank you in advance for your help. My structure for this article reflects the way I suspect it will be used the most, and that is as wiki-article on an iPhone guide. The French countryside has
[edit]I live in the area of Chateau de la Motte and was the guardian there for four years. I was a director of a history and science museum in the US for many years so my background led me to research a fascinating place. I was also frustrated with the enormous amount of history around me and realized how difficult it was to learn. As my French improved I found the local libraries were full of local history and legends but few travelers want to spend their days in libraries. When I recently bought an iPhone and learned that programs like Wikihood used Wikipedia to interpret the landscape and its history. This brought me to create this page and perhaps many others.
With this article I need to resolve several questions that concern this and future articles. - The final listing of architectural and landscape features are of great interest to travelers and others and I need a way to present them in the articles. The British call it Reading the building or Reading the Landscape. This might be better in a gallery or Navbox. I'm open for suggestions.
- I'm currently putting unpublished interviews outside of the article but included in the notes, with names. This is a response to a request by researcher at the RAF Museum in London to record the information about downed pilots in the region. I realize interviews are not acceptable in Wikipedia but I'm trying to find a way to record them for future researchers. I am open for suggestions.
Finally, I teach English here and plan to use writing and editing for Wikipedia as a source to improve language skills. I hope to learn enough this summer to introduce the subject next year in my adult classes and later to high school. The subjects will again be local history associated with particular locations to be of value to travelers or locals via smart phone guides. Thank you for any imput. Mlane 12:34, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I've written an article about a notable business that I am not involved with. I am a screenwriter and, while personally not a member of Circalit, work with many people who are members which is how it was brought to my attention. Could you please review it so that my article can become official? Thank you!

I wish to move the article to public view, but I'm seeking administrator approval first.
Hwang89 (talk) 18:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- A detail: you do not need administrator approval to move. It looks like you already did the move. What you need is to show Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Just an infobox and web link does not suffice, sorry. And no need to ask again as you did back on June 17. You should eventually get the same answer. The notice above your edit says "it may take several days or longer" W Nowicki (talk) 18:59, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm having trouble identifying what is considered a reliable resource in relation to Timberstone Shores, as it is a notable feature on Manitoulin Island but doesn't seem to have much published about it. It's referenced on multiple Manitoulin Island websites, but information seems to be limited to the timberstone.com website and an article once published in the Toronto Star available on stevemaxwell.ca.

- Most sources can be considered reliable, unless there is a particular reason it wouldn't be. Care must be taken on controversial topics and on biographies of living persons, because sources are often biased, but on an article about a geographic feature any old source should be fine (even if it is timberstone.com), as long as the article is not written like an ad.

Hi guys,
Having received feedback and advice from several persons on here over the past month or so in creating my article, is there any reason why the article (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Londonyouthgames/London_Youth_Games) cannot be published as a live wikipedia page entitled 'London Youth Games'?
If not, how do I go about getting it published live on here?
Regards,

- Article looks great. To publish it, you would have moved it into the mainspace (encyclopedia) yourself, but since you've asked, I've done it for you. It is now located at London Youth Games. If you go to your draft page, it will automatically redirect you to the mainspace version. Quinxorin (talk) 06:30, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
I am wondering how to get my page onto Wiki. I have many valid sources for this playwright and want to be able to add him, I am just unsure how to make my page official.
Many Thanks

- Your article meets all BLP policy, especially referencing and establishing notability. While I would say the article needs work, especially on formatting, it doesn't have any flaws that prevent it from being a mainspace article at this time. Because you only have two edits, you are not yet autoconfirmed, a permission that allows you to execute actions such as moving pages. Therefore, I have moved the page for you. It is now located at Robert K. Cousins. Quinxorin (talk) 06:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I have lots of reliable sources but can't post them. Why? Google 'Stephen Howes Fuengirola' or 'Stephen Howes Marbella'
GeorgePrior (talk) 20:59, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I have made a lot of updates since the inception of this contribution. Please let me know if i need to 'clean up' anything.
Thanks Wiki Community.

- I've replied to this on the article's talk page.
Just wondering about the tone and if using wayback machine links to websites not longer online is alright..
Joeldg (talk) 21:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Perfectly fine. Quinxorin (talk) 17:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- I would qualify that. Archive.org is considered to reliably archive what web sites used to be. But the rules for reliable sources still apply. If all sources are user-contributed blogs of non-experts for example, that might have trouble proving notability. To help this process, please expand each citation to include author and publisher or "work", plus original dates, archive dates, and access dates (those three are often separate). use the {{cite web}} template with {{cite web |title= title |work= so-and-so blog |url= <original url> |date= <date it was written> |archiveurl= <the one from archive.org> |archivedate= <date it was archived> |accessdate= today's }} for example.
