H2Olympia Re-Do
My page on H2Olympia was deleted... sooooo ... I'm going to try to do this right this time.
First create some workspace on a sub page.... User:MemeGirl/H2OlympiaReDo
How to re-submit my new, updated page???
My page was deleted, so I re-wrote the page with (hopefully) the corrections needed to have the page be approved this time.
My re-write is at User:MemeGirl/H2Olympia where do I send it???
- Ahoy. Ye'll not as be needin' an admin fer this, so I'll have a look now, an' I'll write yer some feedback here before ye can say Captain Jack. (Within 10 minutes) Yar. Chzz ► 00:22, 19 September 2009 (UTC)]
Feedback:
- I'm not sure if it is about "H2Olympia" or the "Artesian Well Advocates" - it needs be clear about what the subject is, and that should be the name of the page, and in bold at the beginning.
- More [[WP:LINKING|wikilinks, please - such as Artesian
- The first bit - which comes before any == Sections == - is called the WP:LEDE, for more on that.
- "the potential closure" - can that be explained a bit more (from reliable sources, of course)
- "A number of them supply water to homes and businesses"[citation needed][quantify]
- "The Jefferson Street Well" - should be a lower-case "w". Section titles shouldn't have unnecessary capitals - unless it's a proper noun, but I don't think it is? Same for "History of Advocacy" should be "History of advocacy". (These kinds of guidance are in the WP:MOS, the 'manual of style)
- "testing was paid for by Friends of Artesians"[citation needed]
- There are some problems with the referencing; they don't necessarily cover the facts presented. Let me explain with an example; "unable to achieve that goal. They disbanded and wrote an open letter" - and that is referenced to the letter itself. References are there to allow the reader to WP:EL), not as a reference.
- "Without the testing, the water would not be able to be used by the public and the well access would have been closed." - without any independent original research, which is not permitted
- Last sentence, "Members of...", is unreferenced; is this covered in any newspapers or anything?
I hope that this helps guide you, to realize that we can only present verifiable 'facts' with reliable sources.
May yer mainsail be full, an' if yer has more'n questions, then ye'll be welcome ter join us on the bridge. Yar! Chzz ► 00:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
