Hamline University

I quick-failed the Good Article nomination for Hamline University because almost all of the article is unsourced. The whole article needs reliable sources. (Also, you didn't put the template on the talk page; I fixed that for you.) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 17:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 19:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you nominated Hamline to be a good article so I thought I might suggest you look at other articles assessed as good articles. (see Category:GA-Class Universities articles) They should give you ideas of what to add to the article. Eóin (talk) 22:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment, the article is on hold for one week (seven days). However, if I see that work is progressing, but that you need more time to complete it, then the hold can be extended. Just drop notes on the review page once in a while as you are working on things to keep me updated on the progress you are making. Dana boomer (talk) 17:09, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even better, I can show you what I mean. Just give me a minute to get over to the page and play around a bit. I'll drop a note here when I'm finished with an example. Dana boomer (talk) 17:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've split the references into two sections and given you an example of what I mean by correct split references. Check out what I've done to the Nute Lee book in refs 5 and 9. Please also note that books should have isbns included in their full information in the reference section; the only reason I didn't include it in the Nute Lee book was because it wasn't in the text to begin with. Drop me a note if you have any more questions. Dana boomer (talk) 17:28, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also suggest taking a good look at WP:UNIGUIDE. That'll help immensely. Also, please refrain from removing maintenance templates from pages and marking major edits as minor. Neither is looked upon favourably. --inquietudeofcharacter (talk) 17:58, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
