April 2007[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Payday loan do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gwernol 23:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After receiving this note, I followed up with a question to Gwernol on his/her talk page. I think I understand what the problem was, but the solution remains unclear. I added the offending link to solve the problem of unreferenced material in the controversy section, and if I can't reference the material, then I'm not sure what to do with it. The information is appropriate to the controversy section as biased argument. It begs a reference, but the available references are commercial sites that violate the external link policy. Not sure what to do about this. May just remove the information entirely.

I'm still awaiting a response from Gwernol about this, hoping for guidance. Pladuk 09:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing reference[edit]

Hi, regarding your edit in [1], you used the tag <ref name="ap_us_gun_laws" /> in several places, but the full reference itself is missing. Is there any chance you could find the citation and add it in the article? Thanks. --Vsion 04:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks for the note.Pladuk 20:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia Tech shooting[edit]

Thank you for writing a great section. It seems that the only reason people can raise to delete it is "Americans don't care what others think", which I don't think is generally true, and even if it was it shouldn't stop it being there. Thanks again, Sad mouse 14:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Global perspectives task force[edit]

Hi Pladuk! Given your fine work on adding international perspectives to important entries, I wanted to draw your attention to a task force I'm proposing. Are you interested in participating? If so, please indicate your support! I'd love to have you involved...Best--Benzocane 16:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Iraq advice[edit]

Greetings Pladuk! Given that we're fellow GTF contributors, and as I respect your work for the community, I was wondering if you might give me your opinion regarding whether or not you feel the time line section of the Iraq War entry should be moved to its own page in order to render the main page more readable. I'm querying a few editors I respect. To my surprise, not a lot of people are responding on the talk page...Thanks!Benzocane 19:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New task force[edit]

Hi Pladuk. So there is a proposal by one of the Global Perspective Task Force members to start another task force related to organizing environmental information within articles (particularly corporations and politicians). If you think this is a good idea, please drop by Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Environment#Environmental_record_task_force_proposal and offer your support. Also, since you were so instrumental in setting up the task force page and template for the global perspectives group, perhaps you could again offer some help in that regard? I would try to take the lead, but I am not so good at those kinds of things :) --Mackabean 20:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
