March 2013[edit]

Hello Futureshockcomicsmcgreal. How's it going. I just reviewed your submission to AfC, and I have a few comments about the proposed article. You've got three articles here, really, one about the strip, and two bios. The bios are also largely unreferenced, which is a problem (see our biographies of living persons policy). I think the topic is notable, running in a big paper, etc., but the article should only cover the artists as they relate to the strip, if I'm making sense? If you can trim this down to an article just about the strip, we can move it to the live article space. Also, it seems you might have a close connection to the topic, no? Might be good to take a look at our conflict of interest guideline if so. Best regards, and feel free to post questions here, or at my talk page. regards, The Interior (Talk) 07:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the trophy, Pat. (I'm a Pat also) I've moved the article into mainspace: Future Shock Comics. A few more jobs to get the article up to spec though. Right now the references are just URLs - please format them for me. This can be used by clicking the "cite" button in the edit window header, or by incorporating the the templates located here: WP:CITET. Second, and more importantly, some of the articles you had under "External links" should be incorporated as references. (I've moved them over to the "Talk" page of the article) They are preferred to refs to your own website, and need to be in place to demonstrate notability. Otherwise the article could be nominated for deletion. I'm here to help if you need it, The Interior (Talk) 22:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And pie, wow. As for expansion, that's related to what's been written by third parties about the strip. For newer topics that are lower visibility (no offense), this can be a limiting factor. As new press, or reviews, or retrospectives, or academic papers get written, there's new material to mine for content. But expansions really have to be based on what reliable sources have written on the topic. Did you say your friend started a new version somewhere? I can't seem to find it ...

Pat, sorry so long in replying, I was on a bit of a break. I see you've done some cleanup. To be a perfectionist, you could look at Wikipedia:Citing sources and get your refs up to top-notch level - right now you've got a list of just article titles that aren't cited inline - if one of the url's changes at the source, it will be hard for an editor to verify without more bibliographic info: publisher, date, author, etc. Re your message on PDF's, they're fine if the url is formatted properly (or acceptable anyways, but as above with the linkrot problem). Now, you must use your hard-won wiki-formatting skills to improve other articles, hint hint, nudge nudge. The Interior (Talk) 15:45, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
