Could someone explain which sentences needs extra references? Most of the material seems covered by the existng references. TamaraStaples (talk) 16:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The entire second paragraph, for one. The references to the Guardian Jobs website go to dead pages, so need to be replaced, and they were presumably just parrotting information from the PoW and TPC websites anyway. Independent 3rd party sources are needed for proper references, not single sources which are the subject of the article.Prince of Canada^{t | c} 19:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The second paragraph is now rewritten and the Guardian reference changed. What else needs additional references, because I don't think that any of it is controversial?TamaraStaples (talk) 06:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial isn't the issue, Tamara. Verifiability is. It's looking good so far, but I still see some references to Guardian pages that will be dead links soon. You want to go for permanent links; books are preferable over websites. Good job on doing what you're doing! Don't get me wrong; I am not criticizing you and saying you're doing a bad job; my criticism is meant to be constructive. Prince of Canada^{t | c} 07:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, your comments are fine. Actually I have changed the guardian references so that they are to the print version, instead of to the online version which as you correctly say has expired. From what I have read newspaper articles are OK as references. It may not be very helpful for people outside the UK, but in England the Guardian past editions are available free at public libraries. I did look for alternative references but this is far too recent a topic to be in any books. Also, very little is written about the development of 'The Prince's Charities' apart from HRH's Charities Office. This ad. for additional senior staff for the charities office confirmed that firstly the office is still growing in terms of staff numbers, and secondly giving their view of what the Prince's Charities group is about. This info. is not available on either the PoW or Prince's Charitie sites. So this means that the guardian ad seems to me to be quite interesting and useful.TamaraStaples (talk) 18:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
