E-Commerce identification and identification types

Dear Thorncrag,

My name is OchukoAluya a contributor for wiki.

I want to thank you earnestly for accepting my work.:) I am very very grateful and hope to be a major contributor.

Please could you change the title from what it is now (E-Commerce identification and identification types) to IDENTIFICATION, AUTHORIZATION AND AUTHENTICATION this is my title pls. I do not know why it changed.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance through this process.

Hi OchukoAluya. I am glad that you are grateful and that you plan to contribute more to Wikipedia! Regarding the title of your article, the title which you desire is actually contrary to Wikipedia's Manual of Style (full manual at WP:MOS) because titles should not contain all caps unless it is the proper name of something. Matter of fact, the title of your article should actually be something like "List of E-Commerce identification types", because your article is a list-type article, and this would be more consistent with Wikipedia's standards. On Wikipedia we don't actually re-title articles, we move them using the "Move page" option. However, if you move it to a title that is not compliant with Wikipedia's stylistic standards, you can expect that another editor will likely undo your page move.    Thorncrag  23:58, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind response.

The article is about types of Identificaiton, Authenticaiton and Authorization.

Please, can the title be, Identificaiton, Authenticaiton and Authorization (Types)

Your kind response will be appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OchukoAluya (talk • contribs) 01:01, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation/ Zalagh Holding

Hi Thorncrag,

I read the guideline on the notability of organizations or companies, I have a question :

It is said that references should be independent and verifiable, does it mean that they should be notable internationally ?

Because for the Article I wrote, I have 3 independant and verifiable sources, but on a national level only.

Regards

No, they do not need to be international. However, the article itself needs to assert why the company is notable and that assertion needs to be supported by those sources from reliable third-parties. At this time the article does not explain why the company is notable which is required to meet the standards of inclusion within Wikipedia. Cheers!    Thorncrag  11:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
