User talk:Rick brade

Hello there!

Congratulations on your first article. It's pretty good for a first attempt!

I've removed the 'comment' parts, because remember wikipedia is always live - so comments in the text are a no-no. Please put comments in the discussion page, not the article.

I'll take a further look at the article, and make more comments later.

For now, though;

Welcome...

Further edits[edit]

Hi,

Normally, I wouldn't explain all the little edits I've done, but it sounded like you'd want to know, so;

I've changed "Related" to "See also";

Changed External links and See also to sections, rather than the bold heading you used, y using ==heading==

Removed some <br> - you hardly ever need to use them in WP, just put a blank line in

Reversed the order of 'External links' and 'See also' - it's a convention to have 'external' last

Added a 'references' section, ready to display the refs that need adding

Also, note that it's often a good idea to create the article in a Sandbox first, so you can play around with editing before it goes 'live'.

If you do have any questions, just ask.

Cheers, -- Chzz ► 10:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In other tinkering, I removed " that will be necessary to preserve the strength of the American economy for posterity" because it's not very WP:NPOV. I think you might run into problems if you're not careful about NPOV, so please have a good read of that - and also WP:COI.

I suggest you change "almost two dozen cities" to the actual number, if you know it or can find out. "almost two dozen cities" sounds a bit promotional. "23 cities" sounds nice and factual - thus encyclopaedic.

Speedy deletion nomination of Orianthi[edit]

A tag has been placed on Orianthi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
