Theories of Culture and PoliticsRoswell Millhi Angela, your draft is very well supported by references, great work :o). i would like to make two suggestions for further developments: 1) please consider to adapt the formating standards like bolding the title in the first sentence (so) and use wikilinks to connect your article with the rest of wikipedia 2) i suggest to analyze some additional literature for further expansion of your article. randall m. miller, for example, worked in "The Fabric of Control: Slavery in Antebellum Southern Textile Mills" in The Business History Review, Vol. 55, No. 4 (Winter, 1981), pp. 471-490 with the Barrington King paper collection and provided additional contextuelly historical knowledge for your theme, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 21:46, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Karen Human Rights Grouphi Judy, , your article works out some mayor points, well done :o). i would like to make two suggestions for further expansionss so far: 1) please consider to adapt the formating standards like bolding the title in the first sentence (so) and use wikilinks to connect your article with the rest of wikipedia in state of weblinks. you can create a contects automatically 2) it would be best to analyze some scientific literature for further development of your draft. kevin malseed himself published more specific content in "Where There Is No Movement: Local Resistance and the Potential for Solidarity" (Journal of Agrarian Change, Vol. 8 Nos. 2 and 3, April and July 2008, pp. 489–514.) and some contextuell sfuff about - for example - the role of KHRG in thailand was worked out by inge brees in "Refugees and transnationalism on the Thai–Burmese border" (Global Networks, Volume 10, Issue 2, Article first published online: 1 march 2010 at p. 292.) , all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 18:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC) DeauvilleAs of this moment this is just a draft of a plan to create an article; no seriously reviewable content yet. I left a comment on the student's talk page concerning the planned gossip section (high chance of it ending unencyclopedic). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC) Cleveland Sight CenterSeelbach Hotel (Louisville)hi Kevin, i read your draft and we replaced the pictures because there was no license since october, 14. i hope that you like the new ones, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Santa Catalina Schoolhi Onnolee, i reviewed your quite detailed article, good job :o). i would recommend to organize the data, which you don't want to transform in text, in tables rather than in lists, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 13:16, 22 October 2010 (UTC) Demographics of Oceaniahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jraytram/Sandbox, I should have the full article done tomorrow
And it's live, as of Sunday evening. I plan to make more additions, but this is what I have for now. --Jeremy Osaka Gakuin Universityhi Yesul, as long as i can say now you already summarized all key tags of this institution and used the wikipedia syntax pretty good :) but i think that it would be best to present the content rather as text than as a group of lists, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 19:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC) Film studiesLooks like a good start, I left comments 3 days ago at User talk:Joko123nm and I am waiting for a reply. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC) Nomadic TheatreWeir High SchoolLittle Tennessee Watershed AssociationSenlis, OiseThis is currently only a statement of intent to work on it; I've left comments on User talk:Smj39 three days ago and I am awaiting a reply. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC) Best Buddies InternationalZahléIntroduction to Study of Arab WorldDe-Ba'athificationWow, this is an impressive article. I'm neither a public policy expert nor do I know a lot about the Arab World. As a "normal" reader I would suggest to add some pictures to the the text (like this one). Pictures provide context and make the article more lively. That's one of the first things I had to learn when I started writing Wikipedia articles in 2005. I hope this helps. --Fschulenburg (Public Policy) (talk) 21:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC) Destruction of sites associated with early IslamConsulate General of France in JerusalemHomosexuality (Section 8.5, History, The Middle East)Iraqis in SyriaNational Democratic Party (Egypt)Hi. You stopped into IRC briefly but left before I could reply. Your article looks good so far, upon a quick run-through. A few minor suggestions:

--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:40, 17 November 2010 (UTC) Cyber ShockWavehi Peter, i just reviewed your article. it's quite difficult to write something solid on a topic of this area without available scientific papers, good job :) --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 18:14, 22 October 2010 (UTC) Food Quality Protection Act
Patent and copyright protection of fontsFair Sentencing ActGeosocial Networkinghi Hayes, i reviewed your article, a fully developed basic encyclopedia entry, good work! i recommend to pick up an other aspect of geosocial networking: technology and cost efficiency. dexter h. hu, cho-ji wang and yinfeng wang just published a paper about that in lecture notes in computer science: "GPS Calibrated Ad-Hoc Localization for Geosocial Networking" (LNCS, 2010, Volume 6406/2010, 52-66, DOI: 10.1007/978-3-642-16355-5_7). an additional point: especially european administrations and a lot of other player are very concerned about this theme and it would be cool to use that as an other example, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 18:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC) Intellectual Property Law for the Information IndustriesUniform Trade Secrets ActLegal Protection for TypefacesMicrosoft Corp. v.

YouTube#Copyright complaints against YouTubeJacobsen v. Katzer1-800 Contacts, Inc. v. WhenU.com, Inc.This is a great start; it'll be a solid candidate for DYK (for which I'm leaving instructions on the talk page). The first thing I would suggest would be to expand the lead, to make clear in plain terms what the outcome of the case was. The next thing I would look for is more context for the case: why is it significant, and what have its ramifications been? Are there other related cases that happened later, building on the outcome? In the section about the Lanham Act, it would be good to have a quick summary of how the Lanham Act is relevant and what it says. There are a number of direct quotes in the article; be sure to give detailed citations for those, so readers can find out exactly where the quotes come from. --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 19:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

My76Strat 00:41, 2 November 2010 (UTC) Workforce developmentThis is an excellent start; it concisely defines the topic, and gives a good overview of some of the main issues (place-based vs. sector-based vs. combined). The first things that I would want to see more information about would be the scope of workforce development efforts (how common is this? how much money is put into it?) and the politics of it (what have the political discussions around workforce development been like?). More inline citations would also be good, particularly to back up the parts about the different strategies and division of workforce development into those categories rather than other ones. If that gets done within the next few days, the article would be a great candidate for the "Did you know" section of the main page. For more details on how to make that happen, see {{DYK new}}.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC) would be great to work out something about the results and reception. Kathleen M. Shaw and Sara Rab, for example, checked some stuff in "Market Rhetoric versus Reality in Policy and Practice: The Workforce Investment Act and Access to Community College Education and Training" in Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 586, Community Colleges: New Environments, New Directions (Mar., 2003), pp. 172-193, all best --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 17:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC) Evergreen CooperativesWorkforce Innovation in Regional Economic DevelopmentUser:Lbellows/PathwaysOutofPovertyGrassroots Politics and Public Policy |
