[edit]

This is the first Wikipedia page I've started and my first major edit. There are a couple things that I still plan to add or tweak when I have a few minutes, but I would love some feedback/corrections on style stuff in particular.

  • First and foremost, I couldn't figure out how to reuse references; you'll see at the bottom there are duplicates and triplicates of a couple articles.
  • There's a little bit of tense switching at times when it seemed appropriate, but I don't know if there's a Wikipedia guideline about it.
  • When citing sources, it seems like most Wikipedia articles just use a ref link instead of using the source's name (or instead of doing both). I tended towards using the names quite a bit. I know that use of (Ibid)s is not Wiki-friendly, but the frequency with which I say "Hosokawa" in here might be a bit much. When should you use a ref/footnote and that's it?
  • Thanks :)

Very good start

[edit]

This is a very good start for a first article.

<ref>{{cite web 
  | author = 
  | title = 
  | publisher = 
  | url = 
  | date = 
  | accessdate =  }}</ref>
Just fill in the fields (or leave e.g. author blank if the source doesn't name the author) and it will nicely format the ref. Sbowers3 (talk) 00:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Perfect! Fixed. Thanks for the tips. —Rhododendrites (talk) 03:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Walkman effect. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Haven't looked at this page in quite a while. Did a quick google to see about some additional sources, but don't have time to do anything with them just now. Adding here:
