Article feedback

[edit]

An excellent start on your article Florentine Ghetto. However, it needs a little work to make sure that your work in mainspace meets the basic requirements of a Wikipedia article. Please review the sections on article layout in the Editing Wikipedia brochure (pages 7-9) and the checklist on page 15. Some specific issues I wanted to bring to your attention:

  • Articles should begin with a lead section that summarizes the entire article and contains the article title in bold. Articles should not start with a header or jump right to the earliest chronological part of the subject's history.
  • Consider creating wikilinks between this article and the related article History of the Jews in Florence.
  • The image you uploaded may be deleted because it does not contain sufficient information about its origin or copyright status. It is a good photograph, but there is no information about the date or the photographer, for example. In any case, it is generally a good idea to avoid using photographs from places like travel websites as you cannot be sure of the origin or copyright status of the photos there. You can use images from Wikimedia Commons or find images to upload yourself following the steps at the Finding images tutorial. See our module Contributing Images and Media Files for more information on how to properly find and use images on Wikipedia.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:57, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have a question about my article Florentine Ghetto...on the top of it it says that it is an "orphan article" and that I should add wikilinks to other articles that are similar to mine. However, I put references to other articles in my section "See Also". Does this not count? How do I add in the types of references that Wikipedia is telling me to add?

"Orphan articles" refers to articles which have no links to those articles in other articles. To resolve this, you can add links to Florentine Ghetto in other articles such as History of the Jews in Florence. Ideally, you should add these links within the text of the article itself, but the See Also section is also a good place to link related articles if there is no relevant text to use to link. (For example, if you want to link to the article ghetto, it is considered preferable to link to the first standalone usage of the word "ghetto" in the article over linking to the article in the See Also section.) You should not add a list of links to the top of the article, however. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:47, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
