Adding one single footnote does not fix the article; it's a great start, but you need to footnote basically all the info to one source or another.

Also, though it's not mandatory, I would suggest you consider signing up for a Wiki account (it's anonymous and free). Please see Wikipedia:Why create an account? MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a dynamic IP address but want to maintain a fixed user talk page, you may want to create an account. Huon (talk) 06:47, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Huon. Yes I am interested in creating an account but I'm just not quite ready yet. But yes for now this my current talk page. Thank you for the offer though. Just out of curiosity, Do you like helping Wikipedia? In other words, do you enjoy doing this? 75.62.136.128 (talk) 19:26, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not quite sure I understand what you need to be ready for - creating an account is easy and doesn't come with any pitfalls I'm aware of - you don't even need an email address or anything (though having one will allow you to get email notifications as well as mails from other editors, and Wikipedia doesn't publish your email address, so there's no privacy concern).
Yes, I enjoy doing this. It's nice to be a part of the project, to help improve it, to learn strange new facts while doing so. Also, why else would I spend my time here? Wikipedia unfortunately doesn't pay me. Huon (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well Ineed to be ready to create an account. As I said I am interested in creating the account. I just have to think about it. And I'll answer that second question. Well you'd spend your time here to help improve Wikipedia right? Also please read the section "Notice about discussions." Tell me when you've read it all right? 75.62.134.122 (talk) 02:52, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well yes, obviously I spend time to help improve Wikipedia, but I wouldn't do so if I didn't enjoy it.
I've just read your notice; I'm sorry for not numbering my comments as you had requested. Feel free to assign numbers to them, but it may be easier in the long run to abandon these separate sections for questions and comments and to have editors always begin a new section at the bottom of the talk page. Other than that, your notice seems pretty straightforward.
By the way, there's no need to send me a {{talkback}} whenever you reply; I have added this page to my watchlist (another advantage of having an account) and will see when you write here. Huon (talk) 04:01, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's okay, if you don't do these then I could add them. And yeah it was a good idea to add my page to your watchlist. That way it wouldn't take a lot of steps. Anyway, enjoy contributing and helping Wikipedia! By the way this is comment discussion #1. 75.62.134.122 (talk) 18:14, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, what do you think about the Golden Wiki Award I got? 75.62.128.176 (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had assumed 75.62.131.130 was you too - did you grant that award yourself? It's beautiful, but I'd have thought it more impressive to display awards bestowed by others. Huon (talk) 02:47, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Man you're good! Yeah I granted that award myself. I was 75.62.131.130 too. But yeah it would have been better if someone else had "awarded" me. I was thinking. I need your help on something. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 19:01, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On what? The edit filter? Apparently you tried to remove content from Bonkers The Clown's talk page; you indeed should not do so. Bonkers The Clown will handle the archiving of his own talk page. That's not even a false positive, strictly speaking. Huon (talk) 19:27, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually no. That's not what I needed help on. But based on how you wrote above I feel your anger but since you already clarified my first question, then I understand why the filter stopped me. You're right that's not a false positive. I needed help on something else actually.
And besides, that was my text. I had written the section "Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Berendo Street and Avenue". Sorry though. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 19:40, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This emoticon above just shows that I am really sorry and that's how I feel because of the way you responded. It's like you telling me in person. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 20:08, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's no need to apologize, and I'm not at all angry; I'm sorry for giving that impression. I just tried to guess what kind of help you needed, and to explain why that edit filter issue had occured. So I guessed wrong; how else may I help you? Huon (talk) 00:02, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Um I need help on an article. I need help on looking for references for my article. And that's okay. I forgive you. 75.62.132.167 (talk) 03:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, how did you know about that filter issue? 75.62.132.167 (talk) 23:18, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like you to know as well that I created an account and this is my new talk page Now I'm Mr. Cookie 715. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:36, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations on your new account! I had a look at your contributions to try and see whether I could find out how to help you; that's how I found the edit filter issue. Regarding the sources for your article, if it's the street article I don't think I can be of much help - I don't have access to any sources unavailable to you, quite the contrary. My suggestions would be:
  1. Check out the archives of local newspapers. They might have articles that discuss the street and its development, though such sources on their own are unlikely to establish notability.
  2. Ask for sources in a local public library. There may be books on local history, or they might know of other sources - maybe there's a local historical society?
  3. Run a Google Books search to see if there are travel guides that discuss this street.
  4. Also try the Google News archives. That's less likely to help because even if there are hits they're more likely to be routine news coverage of the "something happened in this street" type, not detailed articles about the street, but you might be lucky.
These are the most likely venues for sources I can think of, and I can't be much of a help with any of them. Huon (talk) 01:15, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then. Thank you for the suggestions though. I'll try them. I'm not sure if there is a local historical society - I've never heard of them. I was thinking and said to myself, "Well why don't I create the account? It'll be better." And of course it was. What do you think? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 01:38, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure the account will simplify things, and you'll enjoy several features not available to your IP talk page, such as the notifications you receive whenever there's a new message on your talk page. Happy editing! Huon (talk) 04:50, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I'll enjoy editing. Ihave a question, how do you create a user page? Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 18:44, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your user page is at User:Mr. Cookie 715. The red link leads to an edit window where you can create content for the user page (it will turn blue once the page has been created). Huon (talk) 19:05, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Huon. I've already created my user page. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 23:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And I noticed you declined my redirect request for: CalTrain Railroad, and CalTrain Railroad line. Please explain why It's an unlikely search term. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 11:39, 29 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.62.132.167 (talk) [reply]
The target article and its sources don't use these terms. Google Web and Google Book searches came up empty (or more precisely they did produce results, but none of those I checked referred to the LA CalTrain). Thus I didn't see any indication that these are common alternative names. Do you know of a source that uses these terms? Huon (talk) 21:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No I don't. So I can see why my request was denied. Okay thank you Huon for all your help. If I need more help orwant to ask you a question, I'll write here and post a {{talkback}} template on your talk page. Once again thank you Huon. Mr. Cookie 715 (talk) 00:48, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trout

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Please don't remove this; I like it.

Notice about discussions.

Some discussions will be moved into the archives section if it has been unresponded or continued for 30 days. Others will stay on my talk page. It is up to me to decide. If you notice that your discussion is not on my talk page, click on "Archives of old discussions can be found here" and follow the instructions on the page. For your convenience, a search bar is provided at the top of this page so you can search for your discussion. Click "Search Archives" to see if it's there. Otherwise it may have been deleted by me or someone. I will monitor that page and see if there's anything to respond.

Creating a new discussion

Notice that I have created two sections labeled "Questions" and the other "Comments". Questions go in the "Questions" section and comments in the "Comments" section. I will check here and respond to them and place a "Talkback" template on your talk page. If you wish to create a new section and ask me something or leave a comment, you may do so. I will respond to them as well. I don't judge. Just click "New section" or "Edit" on the tabs on the top of the page to create a new section. Please put new sections under this text. In the questions and comments section, please number them one after another to avoid confusion. Lastly, thank you for reading this.

Help with articles

Feel free to ask me questions about your articles. If you need help you may ask me. I'll be happy to help. For these type of questions, please create a new section under this text. Do not edit anything above this text (except for "Questions" and "Comments" which is where you can write me questions or comments). Thank you.
