Do you think I could submit my article Elizabeth Maitland, Duchess of Lauderdale to DYK? Reichsfürst (talk) 14:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

You can, but there's a few more rules you'll need to pass. You've got the length right, well done (1500 chars min) and it's new enough. But it's expected to be well sourced (a source per paragraph). Also, you could do with less single sentence paragraphs, they're not encouraged in the WP:MOS. If you can tidy it up a bit and think up an interesting fact, then certainly.

I've tidied it up a bit and I think the interesting fact could relate either to accusations of witchcraft because of how unusual it was for a woman to have such political influence, or her role in the Sealed Knot. Reichsfürst (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

How do you think it's looking? I'm out at the moment I'll do the test when I get back tomorrow but on Friday I'm leaving for a holiday. Reichsfürst (talk) 15:22, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Much better - ready for dyk Worm^TT · (talk) 16:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I've figured out the template but I'm struggling to work out where the nomination goes? I'm going with the hook 'Did you know that Elizabeth Maitland, Duchess of Lauderdale was a member of the secret organisation The Sealed Knot and that she was accused of witchcraft due to her her political influence?" Reichsfürst (talk) 14:42, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, there's instructions on the T:TDYK page, but if you've got the template, just navigate down to the date that the article was created, and add the template as the top entry. If you like, I can nominate it for you, and you can try tackling the next one after you've gone through the templates lesson. Worm^TT · (talk) 19:13, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Managed to do it! Reichsfürst (talk) 20:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

CSD

I think the article which was being referred to by Kudpung was What do the olympic rings stand for - which as I realise now was not suitable for tagging with 'nonsense' as it wasn't just gibberish. Reichsfürst (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Quite possibly. I can't actually see the deleted article, so I wouldn't know, but you seem to have a pretty good idea. CSD tagging can be difficult, but if you read the links provided by Kudpung and Sigma, you shouldn't go wrong. At least now you know it's one of those areas that accuracy matters.

Renaming

Also I'm considering requesting a rename to remove the umlaut from my name which is incredibly frustrating when I'm trying to log-in, not to mention for other editors referring to me. Reichsfürst (talk) 00:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Quick favour: if you could have a look at my user page and work out why the gallery isn't displaying the first picture properly? Reichsfürst (talk) 01:17, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Quick favour - Done. It was the | after the title that was screwing things up. And I certainly wouldn't complain about the name change, it's a pain to type ;) Have a read of WP:CHUS to see how to go about it (since Reichsfurst isn't taken). Or just register the other name and start over. Worm^TT · (talk) 08:36, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Still away

Got back from my original holiday but unexpected trip to Ireland, so wikipedia is going to have to take an even longer break than I expected but back next week! Hope everything is going swimmingly. Reichsfurst (talk) 11:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

All's well from my perspective. Take your time, I'll be here when you get back Worm^TT · (talk) 11:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
