Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia, and to its coverage of Chiswick. We're well aware that the coverage of Chiswick House and its gardens leaves much to be desired. The main problem isn't so much the omissions -- they can be filled -- but the confident statements unsupported by any evidence. Wikipedia relies completely on its cited sources, so it's basically a disaster when sources can't be traced (let alone verified). By that token, we improve the encyclopedia when we remove uncited claims, or better, find suitable sources for them. It follows that we make the encyclopedia worse when we foolishly add a claim without citing a reliable source. So, you know what to do! Good luck.

Draft

Ok, I've done headers and links. Can you put the references into the text? Stick them in the middle of "<ref>here</ref>". There's a key to add the ref ref bit at the bottom of the editing screen, you will find. I've added an example to the first sentence. It's fine to repeat them. Thanks.

@1948dlj, Johnbod: I saw the move request you submitted and initially moved the page, but on second thought I moved it to Draft:Medieval garden (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. It still needs a lead sentence, has placeholder references, and has other issues such as curly quotes that need to be cleaned up per the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's ~~general notability guideline~~manual of style and thus is ready for mainspace, feel free to submit a request to move it back to Medieval garden. --Ahecht (TALK

Uk, ok. Notability is certainly not an issue! I felt it was ready for mainspace, which is why I submitted it. Not over-helpful. Johnbod (talk) 15:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod:, sorry, I meant to link WP:MOS, not WP:GNG. There's no notability issue, but there are several referencing and style issues (for starters, the only in-line citation in the article is "example of ref").

DYK for Medieval garden

On 5 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Medieval garden, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that much of what we know of medieval gardens comes from illuminated manuscripts (example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Medieval garden. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Medieval garden), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
