Not a bad article. Just a reminder to start reference tags with <ref> and end them with </ref>. Also, remember that Wikipedia is not your webspace nor your publisher for academic papers. Your new article is being released essentially to public domain, so if this is your academic paper or contains original thought, this may not be the best outlet for such publications. - Jameson L.

If you don't want an article to be edited on Wikipedia, don't upload it. By uploading anything it is automatically judged (and potentially scrutinized) the moment it shows up as a new page. I'd suggest you use WP:SANDBOX to make your article quickly before uploading the finished product onto Wikipedia. However, requiring other users to not touch an article until May 2008 is unrealistic and quite frankly, will not happen. - Jameson L. Tai talkcontribs 05:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure no problem. Just a couple FYIs, I see that you're still editing the article (not the new copy). I would start editing on the copy I sent you, as they do not sync (or else when you delete the article your backup would be gone too). Also, please remember to end every single discussion post (basically any talk page) with four tildes (~~~~). This will make sure people know who made the post and how to reach you if they have questions, follow-ups, suggestions, (jokes, bribes, threats,... you name it...haha). Please remember to do that especially on other people's talk pages, or else you have people reading your messages without knowing who sent it until they click on the edit history (like digging up post office records to find who sent a piece of mail). - Jameson L.

March 2008

[edit]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Solar Energy: Myths and Truths. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you. - Jameson L.

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
