DYK[edit]

A reminder that those articles that are eligible for the "Did You Know?" section of the Main Page should be submitted within five days of their creation or first edit. See the DYK rules and this dispatch about DYK.

The important issues are that the article must be no more than five days old (or have been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days), have a minimum of 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes), and have a "hook" that is cited with an inline citation.

For now, don't worry too much about what's meant by an "inline citation." Once you have the information there, I or others can format it appropriately. But you do need to do some preliminary research and flesh out the article.

Good luck! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reminders: regular editing and plan[edit]

Two reminders, from our project page:

Over the course of the semester, you need to log in and make at least one edit, again however minor, to your article twice a week.

By September 19, each group should have their plan in place, and have written it up on their article's talk page.

DYK problem[edit]

See here. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:15, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK congratulations![edit]

On 25 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Carmen Rodriguez, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

WP:RSN[edit]

Guys, I've left a question about the sources you have at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. I'm also going to drop a note with a couple of experienced Wikipedia editors. Do watch that page, and let's see what people say. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 22:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October[edit]

Exclamationpoint, I see that the last time you made an edit was over a week ago... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 20:35, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Christie[edit]

I've just dropped a note with Mike Christie of the FA-Team (and a very experienced article editor) for him to give you some advice in the run up to nominating the article for GA. Take note of what he says! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 19:31, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

happy face![edit]

You get my happy face for your work on Carmen Rodriguez. Well done! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:26, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey[edit]

I sent Mike Christie a message because I wasn't sure how to write the "critical receptions" section... Check out what he said here, it's pretty useful. I wasn't quite sure in what direction to go for that --Mstmaurice (talk) 21:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

		The Exceptional Newcomer Award
		Thank you for your hard work on Carmen Rodríguez. It is difficult to write a biography of a living person and your efforts to carefully explain her life, particularly its historical context, are a valuable addition to Wikipedia. Awadewit (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
