User talk:Muggwort17

It's good to see that others are willing to create these pages. I've kind of abandoned the Fall of late. Regarding the album infobox, you should find everything you need at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. Basically, it's a question of copying the code from here and filling in all the values. Otherwise have a look at the code for The Infotainment Scan, say, and you should be able to work it out from there. Have fun :~)

And since you haven't been welcomed yet...

Welcome!

New plant pages

Hi Muggwort - nice to see you've started some good new pages on plants! If I may offer a few tips on style for references, they go at the ends of sentences, not at the start of the next: "used to cure snakebites [2]. The nectar", not "used to cure snakebites.[2] The nectar". Also it isn't necessary to cite a reference for every basic detail (the sort of 'common knowledge' things like plant size, that you'll find in numerous books), only the more out-of-the-ordinary details. For the reference citations, wikipedia has a standard style, typed like this: [http://www.linkpage Name of link]; this auto-formats so that [http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/wildlife/flowers_red_campion.html Tiscali: Red Campion] looks like this: Tiscali: Red Campion. Any queries, drop me a note on my talk page - MPF 11:49, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again - you're getting on really well! A couple of small points about the USDA Plants Database, with a lot of their pics, if you click on them, you can download a much higher resolution pic (see e.g. Juncus tenuis, which I've re-done the pic). Also when citing the page source from the USDAPD, watch out that when you move around that site, the page name in the browser address box doesn't change, so several of the pics you uploaded have the same source address :-) (see e.g. my correction on this one; I've not done them all though). One other suggestion - with most plant species pages, they're not long enough to have more than at most 2 or 3 headers, it's best not to have several headers each with just 2 or 3 lines of text, the pages look better with fewer headers; often ===Headers=== look better (less heavy) than ==Headers==, too. - MPF 01:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
