Is this right? I'm a novice at this stuff.Penfold77 (talk) 04:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because this has been inactive for so long I have taken the liberty to use the content to generate the article Loch Long One Design. Hope this is OK with you. Boatman (talk) 12:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine and thanks for making it live; I kinda lost interest after I drafted it. It was recommended that I finish the referencing off, but pretty much all the facts used are from the one book so I wasn't sure what to do; I opted for the politician's standby, do nothing! There's a new book on Loch Longs being published in the next 18 months or so, when it comes out I will probably add more content. Should Penfold77/Loch Long be deleted now, or is it important to keep it for posterity? Penfold77 (talk) 15:42, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The way I start writing a new article is to start/open a new article using the correct/final name with a heading to note that it is an article "Under Construction" (there is a wiki template for this somewhere). The initial text I generate off-line in Notepad and when I think I have reached the point of some useful text for the reader, I then copy it into the new wiki article. I started a new article recently and the first line is UNDER CONSTRUCTION because I could not find the template. You have created a new user called Penfold77/Loch Long but unfortunately you cannot delete it. My recommendation would be to delete all content in Penforld/Loch Long (leave the discussion intact) and do all future work on the Loch Long One Design article. Hope this rather garbled note makes some sense!! Boatman (talk) 15:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
