Help me!

Hello Pheasant fred. You used the {{Help me}} template, but you wanted an answer from a specific editor. If you still need help, please add your question to that editor's talk page instead. Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.

Please help me with...

@Diannaa: thanks for your help! I am building a contribution for the first time, so please bear with me. I am working on the Draft:The_Faraday_Institution page, but have not submitted anything yet as it is a work in progress. If you could help, I have a few questions. Does the page get reviewed and edited before it is submitted? I thought I would have more time to add citations and to rework content before your edits, and so I am a bit confused as to the process. As we have sister institutes represented on wikipedia, I am using those pages as a model. These are the Henry Royce Institute and the Rosalind Franklin Institute and the Francis Crick Institute. The content I am building follows these examples and I am trying to be consistent with them. With this in mind, can you help me understand the edits you have made? kind regards!

This is the logo of the charity The Faraday Institution. I recognize the use of the Alan Turing Institute on that article. Are logos allowed in Wikipedia? Pheasant fred (talk) 12:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Institution is a good example of what Faraday Institution should be.

Have a look at the overall structure of the article. It would be great if we can emulate it with FI. Would be nice to have a substantial history section, too.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

'"Davy-Faraday Institution"' was apparently the original name? We have got to find some history on FI.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:53, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found a letter from an 1898 trade journal in England re the Davy-Farady Institution. It's about funding, but read between the lines for other juicy tidbits. It's a scan of the original, from Google Books. Here are 4 pieces of it I uploaded to Commons, but the whole thing is at the Google Books link:

We can go on forever repeating what the Institution says about itself, but that's not enough to improve Wikipedia. In all seriousness, I suspect that your employer has boxes and boxes of paper news clippings and magazine articles in an archive somewhere. If they want an article, they should let you look at that trove. PS: WP has an article on Ludwig Mond.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :@Quisqualis: -- Hoping to improve Wikipedia by including mention of this new UK research organisation. The Faraday Institution was founded in 2017. The Davy-Faraday Institution must have been a different organisation entirely.Pheasant fred (talk) 21:47, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Example Organisations Similar to the Faraday Institution

The Faraday Institution was established in 2017 by the UK government as its key energy storage research institution. It is similar to its sister organisations created around the same time: Henry Royce Institute, the Alan Turing Institute and the Francis Crick Institute. Hope this helps. Recognise this is a relatively new organisation and so the hunt for a lot of history will not be helpful. The organisation has been referenced in hundreds of media articles in the past three years, in several books, and in government publications -- relevant ones have been referenced.Pheasant fred (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
