Revision as of 18:06, 18 November 2011
BEFORE YOU POST HERE...
Discussions about the content of articles belong on the talk page for that article. This includes discussions about text, images, tags, or other physical things on the page. This way everyone can participate.
If you want to discuss general policy, ask for help on a page you haven't seen me on, or other topics that aren't related to the actual article, post it here. Please note that I clear the page regularly, tend to not archive stuff, and just deal with things and move on. I'm not interested in creating a library of conversations and like a tidy work space.
Notes
Please revisit Dennis E. Puleston. I believe I have fixed the issues you noted and am looking for clearence of the tags and/or specific direction to get to this end. Thank you. (Cakerkela (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC))
- I removed everything except a cleanup tag, which isn't a biggie. The goal is to get someone better at formatting than you and I. I don't think you need to worry about anyone trying to delete it, but it still needs a little work that can be done by others (and you or I) over time. For instance, some of the phrasing, such as "His untimely death was a wake up call to the field of archaeology" and "and upon graduating embarked on his own adventures" are a bit fluffy for an encyclopedia. It's great prose for a magazine or book, but not an encyclopedia. Don't take as an insult, it is just a different style here than most publication. Encyclopedias tend to be a drier read, on purpose, as to not infer any bias or opinion. My specialty is writing advertising, so you can imagine it took me a couple years to really get the hang of it, and I still have a long way to go to be an expert at writing for an encyclopedia. What would be good is finding someone more experienced than I am in the subject matter, who is also more experienced than you at the style of Misplaced Pages, and recruiting them to help work the tone up to be more appropriate. That is the beauty of Misplaced Pages, many hands make for light work, and better work. Overall, I think you have put a lot of good work into it and it shows. It is no longer a chunk of coal, now (over time) we need to turn this rough diamond into a finished gem ;) Reading articles on similar people, and maybe helping edit a little on those will help you get into a groove when it comes to writing in the style for an encyclopedia. I'm confident you have what it takes with very little effort and just a little experience. Good job. Dennis Brown (talk) 01:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Merchant Prince II
Article is still under construction dude. Please see the tag before nominating it. ASHU 17:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- The place to discuss is on the talk page of the article, not here. Right now, it is only a one line description and a link to buy it, which fits the exact reason for the delete tag. You really need to at least start the article in your sandbox before you put it in mainspace like that, so you can at least provide ONE reliable source as to why the game is "notable".

Holbay
I've declined your speedy, as there is some notability. While never in the Cooper or Cosworth class, Holbay did have a name that was known. The article does need some work, and I've suggested to the author that some references wouldn't go amiss. (Nor would a bit of wikification... ) Peridon (talk) 20:37, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, I will defer to your judgement, keep an eye on it and may try harder to find a source or two for it. Dennis Brown (talk) 20:41, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
