Building article[edit]

The TOC is at the top because you don't have a lead paragraph. By default, the TOC sets up right above the first section break. Also, before you get too far into doing this article, review the notability and reliable source policies; thus far, notability does not seem to be established, and there is an over-reliance on sources not independent of the subject. Usually the baseline for notability on a building is a listing on whatever the national historical building list is. MSJapan (talk) 14:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your first article[edit]

I moved this from your sandbox's talk page to here, where it belongs. No reply is needed - you've already replied.

Saw your note to SarekOfVulcan and I think your article is very nice. Only thing I noticed (and it's not that important) is that section heads should use sentence-style capitalization (meaning first word only except for proper nouns). The first and foremost criteria you must meet is notability. Then check out this page on constructing your first article. Building the article in your sandbox is absolutely the best thing to do. Edit it there 3,300 times then, when you're completely satisfied, post it live. It's been awhile since I did this, and I don't think I did it properly, but those two articles above should get you going nicely. Untill then, best wishes, clear skies, and frogless yards. If you like, I'd be happy to so some minor copy editing cleanup. It can, of course, all be undone. Just let me know. GahannaGuy (talk) 19:14, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

editing semi-protected pages[edit]

FYI... I note that you have been leaving edit requests at Talk:List of Freemasons, a semi-protected article... according to Wikipedia:LOCKED#Semi-protection, you have been a registered editor for a long enough period that you should be able to edit semi-protected articles ... which means you should be able to make these requested edits yourself. No need to continue to ask others to do it for you.
