Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2011 November 22
This article is part of an assignment for the University of Washington. My classmate (Mjbeal) and I have started an article on non-profit housing development in the US. Our article will include a comparison of non-profit vs. for profit developers, ownership models, finance mechanisms, and operation models. We would like some feedback regarding the quality of the sections we have written so far to ensure we're on the right path as we work towards finalizing our article for submission. Thanks!

- Hello, M. Umadhay. Your article looked very professional and neat, but sometimes that can be a bad thing. May I suggest adding more Wiki markups to some of the things, like for example on the word "market-based?" Some people may not know exactly what some terms mean and those markups will give them more insight. Also, I don't how many free images or allowed images you can find to add to your site, but they will break up what some people term as "walls of text" - articles that are all words. I don't about your particular article subject, but if I needed to know, I would certainly check your complete and informative one when it's finished! WylieCoyote (talk) 14:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Take a look at, for example, Star#Distribution. Nothing to do with your topic, obvisouly. But note the short paragraphs, copious use of wiki-links, and images (this latter one being possibly not so relevant to your topic, as Wylie said above). Also note the style of prose. That article is easy to read because of its style; so aim to make your article as clear. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestions! You'll hear back from Mjbeal and me in a couple weeks with what will hopefully be an article that's near ready for going live =) M. Umadhay (talk) 20:27, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

First time editing, did it come out alright?

- Hello, Itzatuhl. Welcome to Wikipedia. I fixed your reference section for you. That's how it would look if you knows of books that mention him. Try not to use links to Google or others, just reference the author, book title, and the publisher and year published. Someone else may tag your article as stub if you don't expand the article somehow. Also, use the Wiki "markups" to highlight things in articles - brackets around things mentioned that may have a Wiki reference. If you come across any other information on the subject, rather than just the one book, please list them there too. But overall, it was a good effort of basic editing. It also might add to the article if you can find a picture of Mr. Caldwell to add to the article. Also check Sigma Chi's Wiki for more information and sources.

- You won't be able to create a self-promotion article. Sorry. — WylieCoyote (talk) 03:45, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Gephi is an open-source network visualization package. It had a Wikipedia page but was deleted as not notable a while back, but I think with the GSoC participation and its use in various fields, it meets notability standards.

- Elijah, I feel your pain. I don't know when the original was created but therre must not have been enough info at the item to warrant the article. I created character page on here for a cable TV show that has been successful but in mid-season. They wanted it deleted because it wasn't "notable," however the show site here is mentioned all over. Good luck! — WylieCoyote (talk) 03:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
I have included a number of blogs and magazine articles that have cited the product, but could still use more feedback.

- My only question is: what is this Logo that you created for, as it clearly has no connection to the company/product? — WylieCoyote (talk) 03:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Got it from the company. New logo going live next week.
Is this article titled Frankie & Rufus need any improvement or is it okay? If it is okay, can it finally be official?
Stellaplayer (talk) 22:09, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- That article has been tagged/cited for numerous reasons. If you choose to pursue the article, it needs to be re-worked/-formatted. I agree with one tag there. No one really knows or has heard of this band. Sorry. — WylieCoyote (talk) 02:50, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Please review this page. It is a general description and chronology of the Maya site of Colha, Belize. Thank you very much!
Cakerkela (talk) 23:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Cakerkela, that's actually a well-created article. The only suggestions I can give are to insert some random Images in it of the site, if any exist, and possibly putting in a Reference list divider to shorten the page. It looks like an interesting and new article. It just needs editing to get rid of that "wall of words" effect. Images, maps, something. Great job overall though! — WylieCoyote (talk) 02:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
