Hi... and welcome to Wikipedia! It looks to me like you've added some great information to the article on Dangerfield Newby.

One question I have after reading your additions, is whether or not you have

Thanks for the information, it is very interesting! If you need help with citing sources, let me know! Wikipelli ^Talk 17:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're way ahead of me! :) I added a reference, too. Very interesting article. Wikipelli ^Talk 17:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Is that an appropriate place for a reference in a block quote? I put it there because i didnt know where else to put it.
Also, do you know to show the HTML text of a reference (^[1]) as text without it showing up as [1]?

Thanks

Hi... I think the placement of the reference for the block quote is good. I checked the

Manual of Style

and couldn't really find any guidance on that.

I'm not sure what you mean by showing the HTML text of a reference. It's generally not accepted practice to show the html/URL for a reference but rather a text link to the source. there are ways of formatting links, though:

This code:

[http://www.apple.com]

[http://www.apple.com| http://www.apple.com]

[http://www.apple.com| Apple Web Site]

Produces these links:

[1]

http://www.apple.com

Apple Web Site

I don't know if that's helpful or not. I don't think I'm understanding your question so well. :)

As far as an article's classification as a 'stub' goes, you can look at wp:stub and it'll give some information. I think this article is beyond 'stub', though. :) Wikipelli ^Talk 18:38, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. You answered all of my questions (although one was unintentionally answered). The one you thought you didn't answer was answered by displaying the text. But I think there might be more. That's how one avoids displaying a wiki reference, but what if i want to show a reference in text, like <"ref">?

Oh... and don't forget to sign messages that you leave on talk pages (even your own)! You can click the signature button in the editing tools, or just type four tildes (~) at the end of your message. :) Wikipelli ^Talk 18:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

4 tildes really? DaffyBridge (talk) 03:07, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Daffy... Been looking over your shoulder and if gamelial doesn't choose to give any discussion, I'd go on without their input. Use the discussion on the article's talk page to guide you on whether you remove the content or not. If you're confident that consensus is for removing, then go ahead and do it. Make sure you put a nice edit summary there to explain what you're doing and that it is based on consensus from the talk page and then put a sentence or two on the talk page. You've made every effort. Wikipelli ^Talk 19:23, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

My first Barnstar! Thanks Goldblooded. DaffyBridge (talk) 22:57, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, keep up the good work :) User:Goldblooded ^{(Talk/Discuss)(Complain)} 15:25, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is perfectly acceptable for you to add a Withdrawn by nom statement, and if 'No outstanding deletion votes' is still true when you do, you may precede that with Speedy Close include the quoted statement as a non-quote. Cheers. Dru of Id (talk) 05:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dru, thanks for the help there. I didn't quite understand the last part though about "include the quoted statement as a non-quote". I put in the withdrawn by nom comment on the afd page. DaffyBridge (talk) 18:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
