Conde de Lipa,[edit]

This is my first wiki article. I wanted to make sure that everything was fine before posting. Thank you very much. This is very exciting.

Have you got an actual link to the article? I can't seem to find it.. Chevymontecarlo 05:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(For Chevy) Link is CondedeLipa ...
I some suggestions about minor formatting issues you may want to consider. (a) Generally, put the <ref> tags after punctuation marks. (b) Where you use the same reference in more than one place in your article, example what is currently reference 6 and 7, use "named" references. See, WP:REFNAME for how to do this. (c) In the "Selected Works" section and similar sections, list the works with bullets. (d) Where you have an internal reference to Wikipedia, you just put the article's title in double brackets; by contrast, an external link has all the http stuff but only a single bracket. So your "see also" link to November Uprising would be [[November Uprising]]. (e) The link to 171860-1.jpg needs to be enclosed in a couple of <ref> tags like this <ref>[http://www.knaw.nl/ECPA/sepia/exhibition/bne/images_bne/171860-1.jpg]</ref> Same issue with respect to an external link two paragraphs above.
I'm sure there are more substantive comments that could be made. I leave that to more experienced editors. Thanks for all the work you've done so far. Tkotc (talk) 08:52, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to Tkotc's great feedback I would perhaps say you could improve the article by adding an infobox, although Tkotc covers a lot already. Chevymontecarlo 10:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks pretty good, I removed the unreviewed template. I made some minor cleanup edits - I started fixing the issue with punctuation after references, but I didn't finish. I fixed your see also section, but I've never worked with interlanguage links before, so I don't know that I did it correctly.--SPhilbrickT 21:32, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a short article about physician (and Gutenberg author) Joseph Amasa Munk. Wikipedia has a "missing articles" project to provide articles for such authors where a page does not currently exist. Comments welcome.

Looks pretty good, I removed the unreviewed template.--SPhilbrickT 21:15, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a biography page about Carlos Niño, a celebrated DJ in Los Angeles. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.


Epotma (talk) 06:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad. Could use a few more references.
There's a note on it suggesting that you add categories - you can just click on the plus sign, and start typing in a suitable category (if you don't know category names, look at an article for a similar artist).--SPhilbrickT 21:08, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Houdini Chess Engine[edit]

This is an article for Houdini Chess Engine where I wanna make a link to the article chess engine, Houdini.

Just wondered if I had provided sufficient references in the See Also, References and External Links sections to validate the information in the article.

Hi - I would really appreciate comments on this new article concerning one of the most famous art deco buildings in the southern hemisphere. It is the second article I have written so I am not a complete novice, but I appreciate all the help I can get!

Thanks. AndyB AndyB (talk) 18:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC) The following suggestions might not be applicable for the article in question.[reply]

  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
  • Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
  • You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article. [?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space - &nbsp; between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 118 meter, use 118 meter, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 118&nbsp;meter.[?]
  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.[?]
  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]
  • Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: harbour (B) (American: harbor), meter (A) (British: metre), metre (B) (American: meter), defence (B) (American: defense), traveled (A) (British: travelled).
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
    • Temporal terms like “over the years”, “currently”, “now”, and “from time to time” often are too vague to be useful, but occasionally may be helpful. “I am now using a semi-bot to generate your peer review.”
  • The article will need more references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.[?]
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

These books are my new passion and I want to get information out there on the heku species. I'd like to get feedback on how this flows and if it's good enough to put out. I asked the author, T.M. Nielsen (info@hekuseries.com) if it was ok to write this and got a yes, not sure how to put permissions into it so it's not a copyright issue. If this pans out, there will be more subpages dealing with information in the books.

Mono I appreciate your response but I'm a tad confused. There are sources at the bottom which lists the name of the book the information was obtained from. What more is needed then?

I'm hoping to receive feedback and/or a blessing for this entry on Roman and Williams. Thank you for your time.

The Boeing Technical Fellowship is a small group of technical leaders at Boeing, akin to the IBM Fellows or Microsoft Technical Fellows. I created this article in place of a redirect from Boeing Technical Fellowship to Boeing. An article on the Fellowship itself seems to add much more value.

I have just moved my article on The Kennedy Trail to mainspace and welcome feedback on it. The 1861 Kennedy Trail was the first trail connecting New Westminster, British Columbia to Mud Bay in Surrey. It is a part of the history of Delta and Surrey.
