Liang Shuming

edit

Hi, I just wanted to stop by and commend you for your awesome work on the Liang Shuming article. Guy Alitto's biography of him is a great source to use. Dr. Alitto was my professor last quarter, and I was going to find his biography and use it, but you got there first. Great job. --Danaman5 07:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Leo Kelly

edit

G'day. Regarding your new article about Leo Kelly (assuming you didn't copy and paste it from somewhere else), it does not meet the specifications set out for Wikipedia articles. I know you are probably relatively new to writing articles from scratch so it is fine, but I'll just quickly point out a few things to keep in mind.

Sections: this is pretty simple. To make it easier for readers to navigate around the page you can break the articles down into sections by putting the title inbetween two or three equals signs. For example:

===Early life=== Leo was born in...

===Death=== Leo died after...

The result you will get should look like this...

Early life

edit

Leo was born in...

Death

edit

Leo died after...

This allows people at the start of the page to easily navigate to the relevant section, as well as making the article look more interesting rather than a rather large block of text.

The other main point I had is that it is important to write article from a Neutral Point of View (see: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). Similarly, when you write something that might seem personal or controversial such as "He had innumerable artistic and literary pursuits, and his tastes were eclectic (eclectic by whose standards?) you should try and cite a source. It can be a book or a website or anything, as long as it is reputable. This is extremely important as the reliability of an article is usually judged from the sources and references listed. If you would like to know about listing references you can go to this page: Wikipedia:Citing sources.

Hope this helped. If you ever have any questions about Wikipedia you can ask me on my talk page at User talk:Rothery. Just type your question at the bottom of the page, with the title between two equal signs. Cheers, Rothery 06:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC).Reply
