Mentor

Hello,

I'm Smallman12q (though you can call me small). I'll be working with you and hawkins on Energy security (though, if for some reason you don't like me, you are welcome to switch to another mentor). The article on energy security is indeed lacking...at just over a thousand words, it doesn't even cover the bare minimums. The article, as barren and neglected as it seems, represents a highly contentious topic, and as such, please be sure to cite your sources and maintain a neutral point of view. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page or at the article talk page. Cheers! Smallman12q (talk) 23:03, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Sandbox

About your sandbox, make sure you copying all the wiki-markup that is available in the edit window for your article, not just the text displayed when you pull up the page, Sadads (talk) 18:36, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I've copied over Energy security to your sandbox at User:Air3drew/sandbox. Wikitext is not regular text. You must first hit "edit this page" and then copy over the text + wiki-formatting. If you have any questions, let me know.Smallman12q (talk) 23:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Energy security

Thank you for your interest in this article. But your additions here are unsourced and they read like an essay or personal reflection. So I have had to revert your edit. As you know, we need to use WP:Reliable sources on WP and keep things encyclopedic. Thanks. Johnfos (talk) 17:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
