Thank you! I have just created my very first Wikipedia page called New York Law Institute and I think I've provided enough references and categories now for it to be acceptable. Is there any way you could check it out and let me know if it's okay and has passed inspection now? thank you. Ekroski (talk) 16:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your very first Wikipedia page is well done, amazingly so for someone who has (apparently) so little experience with Wikipedia. I added the WikiProject templates on the talk page, ran WP:AWB for some technical cleanup, and added links to the lede. I removed the from the lede, but you should remove all the other instances. This article has far too much white space, but that is easily corrected. You should add more Wiki-links. I will leave it for now, time for lunch, but I will look back at it for you. Keep up the good work!--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is very acceptable. I removed the not so good stuff. Make sure that you don't write articles as though your the organization. Per this rule Thanks. Hghyux (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hghyux talk But it now only gives the history up until the 1960's and says nothing about the current holdings of the library or the mission like these others that I used as examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_Law_Library Can you put back the other parts, or some of them? At the bottom of this page is the conversation I was having with another Wikipedia editor who said that the article was good as it was!

You can rewrite it, but don't write it as though it is an ad. WP:SOAP I am also concerned that you may have a conflict of interest. So please be careful. Hghyux (talk) 17:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hghyux talk Okay, I will work on that this afternoon, thank you.

Hghyux talk Okay, I think I've got it!! I just added the section called "Today" which I rewrote. Upon re-reading the other sections I can understand your objections. What do you think?

It's fine. Congrats on a successful new article. Hghyux (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City

Look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City page, and see the meetups on the right. One is scheduled for March 18. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your great work on New York Law Institute! I'm the organizer of the wiki-meetup Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC on Sunday evening by Columbia University, and it would be great to have you join us. We've had several librarians at NYC wiki-meetups, and several lawyers too, but no law librarians yet :)--Pharos (talk) 19:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
