Editing advice
editThanks for working on some Queensland geographical articles, we need all the help we can get. I want to make some suggestions that hopefully, will help you up the learning curve.
- If you could add a summary of the edits it helps other editors who watch changes on their watchlists.
- Don't bother uploading copyrighted images. The copyright police will shortly remove it, even if you are like me and don't care about image licenses.
- Try not to use emotive words like beautiful to describe the Pacific Ocean or other things. Even though it is indeed a great spectacle from the top of Q1 we have to be neutral.
- If you check the Tallebudgera Creek page and note the improvements I made to your stub by checking the history, you could do the same if you happen to start the Currumbin Creek article. It is always a good idea to check pages of the same kind and follow that format with any article you create.
- If your starting articles then make sure that the topic is notable, for example, I can see Lacey's Lane being deleted because its significance may be too difficult to establish.
- To assist my edits I created an Editing_tools page. I would suggest you check some of the links on style, policy and guidelines. Please follow the policy for providing inline citations at Template:Cite web and Wikipedia:Citing sources.
- Also the correct page for the McPherson Range is McPherson Range with a capital P. Please don't redirect that to Gold Coast Hinterland because it is not the same thing.
I hope you find this constructive and look forward to seeing some more of your work. - Shiftchange (talk) 12:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
