My page was tagged as having multiple issues i.e.

I have made substantial changes to the page to try and get it within the guidelines and would appreciate some feedback as to how succesful I have been. Ideally I would appreciate some feedback on what else to do in order to meet the guidelines. Thanks Roy Hanney RoyHanney (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello-- I have just added 6 terms related to the discipline of acrobatic gymnastics to the "Glossary of Gymnastics Terms." I would appreciate a review and feedback on the new definitions of 'top,' 'middle,' 'base,' 'dynamic,' 'balance,' and 'combined.' Also, is it possible to wikify these terms when they appear in gymnastics articles, even though they don't have individual pages of their own to link with? And if so, how would I do that? Thanks!

  • Wikilinks can only go to headers, because they have an id anchor, eg "=== Header ===" has "id=Header" in the HTML, allowing [[An article#Header]] to link direct to that header, even mid-article, because "#" is used as an anchor in HTML. You have used ";" though, which creates definition lists, and therefore do not create an id per definition - only your alphabetical headings each have an id. So, in short - no it can't be done as it stands now, but it would probably not be worth converting each word to a heading, as it is a list. To make more sense of this, right click your article and "View Source", you'll soon see how it look in HTML. Ma®©usBritish [talk] 11:40, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I just created a page for the album Covers, Volume 2 by Filipino artist Regine Velasquez. Could someone please review the article. Thank you very much in advance. :)

Please provide constructive feedback as this page is a new unreviewed article and I would like to remove the template.

The attached is a page for a Professional MMA fighter based in South Florida. Fighting professionally for several years after getting his start in the wrestling program at Olympic Heights Community High School, Mike Bruno has a following of supporters in the community. As he follows in the footsteps of his older brother Steve Bruno a Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran, he is currently on a 3 fight win streak.

  • I'm going to link you to some wiki help pages, which you'll need to go through and apply to the article, as necessary:
    • WP:BLP - writing articles regarding Biographies of Living Persons
    • WP:NOTABILITY - the most important thing you need to do to avoid an article being deleted is account for notability.
    • WP:RS - Reliable Sources - Twitter and MySpace are not reliable sources, especially when it comes to BLPs
    • WP:CITE - References - you need to cite sources for any and all articles, no Original Research WP:OR
    • WP:VERIFY - All sources must be verifiable, per RS and CITE, above.
    • WP:MOS - Manual of Style - Guidelines regarding layout of articles, how to format dates, prose, etc.

I need this to be reviewed, so that the template can be removed. Please provide constructive feedback.

  • Hello - at a glance it looks good, however there are insufficient references - you have 3 in-line citations on that entire page. For an article that long, prose, plus discography and awards, you'd expect at least 20 or more to thoroughly support and verify his notability (most important, see WP:NOTABILITY), career, achievements and work. I've done a few copy-edits, to neaten things up - per WP:MOS, also, but you need to work on referencing that article substantially, or it might get nominated for Deletion.

Do you think that this page is ready to be moved to Wikipedia as an article?

  • You should try to cite the "Color" section to support the claims that: "Some prescription bottles are orange so that it prevents light from degrading the medicines inside through photochemical reactions", and: "The bottle is red, to match the signature red color of the Target stores, which have adopted the new prescription bottle color and label design" - then yes, I think it's ready to go!
