e-Governance

As this is my first attempt to write an article in wikipedia, I would appreciate receiving early feedback from wikipedia experienced editors. This page is expected to become part of the eGovernment page, in the "e-Governance per country" section.

I completed the ToC and one country to act as a specimen (Austria).

{{helpme}} Rentzepopoulos (talk) 22:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. For now...I have moved this 'helpme' request to your own talk page. I think that it deserves a full answer, so please hold on a bit - or, even better, talk to us live, with this.

If I don't see you online soonish, then I'll certainly add more thoughts below.

Cheers,  Chzz  ►  23:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Chzz! As I will be away from my PC for the next 24 (or so) hours, please feel free to comment and I will respond when I am back.

Rentzepopoulos (talk) 00:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay; I will look at the article very soon (next hour), and reply.  Chzz  ►  21:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Re. "Request for comments" - just a quick note for now to say, yes, looks better, and I will look properly ASAP.  Chzz  ►  16:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Welcome and introduction

Hi, Rentzepopoulos. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  23:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

ようこそ You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:Rentzepopoulos/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! --  Chzz  ►  23:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC) Getting started A tutorial • Our five pillars • Getting mentored How to: edit a page • upload and use images Frequently asked questions • Tips Where to ask questions or make comments Request administrator attention Policies and guidelines Neutral point of view • No original research Verifiability • Grade sources • Cite sources What Wikipedia is not • Biographies of living persons External links • Spam • Vandalism Deletion policy • Conflict of interest • Notability The community Signpost • IRC channels • Mailing lists • Best articles Build consensus • Resolve disputes Assume good faith • Civility • Etiquette No personal attacks • No legal threats Writing articles Be bold in editing • Develop an article The perfect article • Manual of style Pages needing attention • Peer review The missing manual

eGovernment in Europe

Ref. User:Rentzepopoulos/eGovernment in Europe

• On user:Rentzepopoulos it said this;

The work on eGovernment in Europe has been moved in its own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rentzepopoulos/eGovernment_in_Europe subpage]

You don't need to use Wikilinks to link to Wiki pages, so I changed it to this;

The work on eGovernment in Europe has been moved in its own [[User:Rentzepopoulos/eGovernment_in_Europe |subpage]].

For more on that, see WP:LINKING.

• The first part of an article is called the lede. This does not need a heading, because the page name will be shown at the top. It does need to give a context for the article, and the name of the article in '''bold'''. So, the article should start off, right at the beginning (before any == section) with something like,

'''eGovernment in Europe''' is controlled via [[e-Government]] initiatives both at the [[European Union]] level and individually...

...which will look like this;

eGovernment in Europe is controlled via e-Government initiatives both at the European Union level and individually...

• Links to external websites should not appear in the body text, as you have with i2010. External links should only be used as either references, or in a special section called 'external links' (subject to the WP:EL policy). Therefore, you should either have it as...

...the [[European Commission|European Commission's]] [http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/eeurope/i2010/index_en.htm i2010] strategic framework.<ref[http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/eeurope/i2010/index_en.htm i2010]</ref>

...which will add it in the references, or add it to external links.

• For non-english references, please specify the language like this (the last parameter);

<ref>{{cite web
|url=http://www.ris2.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?QueryID=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20003230&ShowPrintPreview=True
|title=Bundesgesetz über Regelungen zur Erleichterung des elektronischen Verkehrs mit öffentlichen Stellen (E-Government-Gesetz - E-GovG)
|accessdate=2009-09-15
|work=Rechtsinformationssystem des Bundes (RIS)
|language=[[German language|German]]
}}</ref>

• As a general comment - this article could, potentially, end up being very long - so you might be interested in reading up on Wikipedia:Summary style.

I hope that this helps, and give some ideas. Please have a try at some of that stuff, and give me a shout on user talk:chzz/my talk page with any questions, etc. To request a review of the article from others, it would be a good idea to ask in WP:FEED, or for a more formal peer review (once it is 'live').

Best,  Chzz  ►  22:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Chzz! I will take into account your comments and continue writing for the rest of the countries. When ready, I will ask for a review, as you suggested, when it will go live.

Estonia eGov page

Hello. I replied to your thread again. After looking at the edit history for the Egov in Estonia page, it actually hasn't had any real edits in over a year and a half. I would just go ahead and redirect if that is what you feel is correct. I'd maybe look at the sources on that page and see if any of them would be good for the main egov in europe article. Also thats some terrific work you've done on that article! Beach drifter (talk) 14:57, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Re. Major failures

Re. Talk:EGovernment in Europe#Major failures section in Ireland - I have removed the material, following your 'helpme' request; please see my response there.

In future, please use 'helpme' here, on your own talk page, rather than on article discussion pages; the idea of 'helpme' is to get specific, 1:1 help from a helper. The discussion page is for discussing edits to the article, with all interested parties.

When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured here.

Cheers,  Chzz  ►  13:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info – I will keep this in mind. As for the signature, I put it a couple of minutes later, which I understand was late. :)

By the way, why did you remove the Actors paragraph as well? This was not challenged, at least to my understanding... Rentzepopoulos (talk) 13:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations (ISA)

The article Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations (ISA) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ephemeral programme, only barely started. No independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

More information needed about File:EPracticeRegistrationURL.png

Hello, Rentzepopoulos!

It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:EPracticeRegistrationURL.png. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.

If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
