Better source for Frenchman's Tower article

Here's a 1951 article from the Union Democrat that should help in establishing notability for Frenchman's Tower. Also, see this article at Metroactive. The Examiner article won' be notable enough to include, and the others may be just window dressing once notability is established. Flowanda | Talk 05:31, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Frenchman's Tower article

There's probably more than enough info and sourcing to create a Wikipedia article, but it needs rewriting and organization to meet Wikipedia style. I'm not trying to step on your toes, but would you mind if I made some edits? Flowanda | Talk 08:15, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your third paragraph, beginning "Over the years, trespassers have carved names or initials into almost every brick," doesn't have any sources and seems to be WP:Original Research. You should find a good, reliable source saying the same thing, or just omit the graf entirely. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 01:13, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SoDak Citations

Thank you for pointing out the missing citations. I believe they have been added now and the ref list has o been adjusted accordingly. If you spot any more issues please feel free to note them. Phoxtank (talk) 22:32, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions on the SoDak Con lead. I believe I have corrected it to be more informative. If you see anything else the help is always appreciated. Phoxtank (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also a little confused about the AfD for SoDak Con. I hope it's not out of line for me to ask, but since I am a new user I'm almost afraid to do things without verification first. I think I've read through the information on how AfD works, I'm just not certain if it would be inappropriate for me to vote and/or comment on the discussion area in AfD. The last thing I want is my own newbie actions to further inflict detrimental damage to the SoDak Con article.Phoxtank (talk) 15:09, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the links. I went ahead and added a comment based on the info there. I really do appreciate all the help you have given me. I intend to go back and read those two articles that you linked a bit more thoroughly too in the mean time. Phoxtank (talk) 19:14, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I (finally) responded to your comment on my talk page. As a convenience, I copy my response here:

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I think your new version of the lead reads well, thank you. (FWIW, I think that if I were being maximally pedantic I could distinguish more than 2 different meanings of the word "permutation" in mathematics, but I don't think that I would improve the article by trying to make such a point.)

dental implant

Hey Wikifr - thx for the edits on dental implant. at wp:medicine we've made a collective decision not to use the cite pmid (although i prefer it) opting for cite journal to ease translation of pages. the study is a cochrane analysis (a good secondary resource). why did you add the anchor text? are you linking from something else? Ian Furst (talk) 21:54, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the message. The problem (as I understand it) is that cite PMID and ISBN create a template page that is specific to that particular languages wiki. When the translators attempt to copy the article page, the link is lost and they have to try and find the data, retranscribe and translate it. Apparently there's also issues with how some of the data is moved with PMID (although I don't think that issue exists with ISBN). The real solution is to host citation data on Wikidata (see the grant proposal by BlueRasperry here meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Reform of citation structure for all Wikimedia projects) which is also a proposed roundtable at wikimania. If citations are all on Wikidata they will be accessible to all Wiki's (e.g. all languages). Until then, we've decided to standardize the data to cite journal and book. Personally, I liked the ISBN and PMID too but they create other problems. Once the data is migrated it should be easier. No problem adding in the link though. Thx.

Rotating pocket heater

Were the four uses of 'substrait' vs. 'substrate' a phonetic misspelling? Also:

"deposit a layers" -> "deposit layers"

'verticle' -> 'vertical'

"... most of the area of the substraits are exposed to the vapor below." - 'substrates' would be plural, but 'area' would be one thing so singular, but 'are' is plural but applied to 'area' - it sounds weird like it should be 'is' but that would be for somebody who knows these things to decide? :-/

The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:Ernest Lacy may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
