Pro-Test

I have submitted this article for Peer Review because practically all of the work has been done on this article by myself, and I wish to incorporate other perspectives on the organisation without inviting the vandalism that has led to the page being semi-protected. Thanks for the time of anyone who wishes to contribute. --ProTestOxford 20:42, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there really a need for that many subsections? As some of the subsections have just two sentences, given the current length of the article it'd probably make more sense to have just one subsection, combining the information currently included in four short ones. Also, there seem to be way too many references. I don't think there need to be six (!) sources for a simple statement such as "These included an arson attack on Hertford College boathouse" Also, all the sources should be linked with footnotes and properly listed in a References section. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 12:36, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The external links should to be removed from the body as explained in Wikipedia:External links. If they were used as a source to write the article then place them in a "References" section (Wikipedia:Cite your sources#Complete citations in a "References" section) like this Wikipedia:Cite sources/example style. --maclean25 02:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, I believe that your suggestions have been incorporated. Is there anything else that would improve the quality of the article? --ProTestOxford 11:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, convert the inline citations from external links like this [1] to m:Cite/Cite.php. An example of this style can be found at Hugo Chavez. --maclean25 04:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some images of the recent protest, or of the group's banners or literature, would be good. I agree with the <ref> suggestion - see Deus Caritas Est for a shorter example, and also how Saffron combines a section with notes separate from a section with references.

A short tutorial -

Add the text of the references where they are needed in the article (so, for example, you should add a text desciption of your inline external links).
Add "<ref>" before and "</ref>" after the text of each reference.
Add "<references/>" towards the end.

Hopefully, all of the <ref>s should be replaced by little superscipt numbers, and the text of the reference should appear automatically at the end. If you need a reference more than one, give it a name, and cut and paste the same "<ref>...</ref>" more than once.

Good luck. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
