Searching for sources
How to Search for (1) "Latest" and (2) "Archived" ""NEWS & FEATURE ARTICLES" on "Schools / anything" from top newspapers and magazines, also as well how to search for relevant Blog Postings many of which contain local "Print News Articles" not available online - EXAMPLE Mayo College (Plrease help with improving the article on Mayo College, thanks)
As we all know in addition to referring to the main official website if we can research as many news and feature articles from top newspapers and magazines on each subject (article on wikipedia) and highlight top points in our own words or by "quoting" by properly referencing all such research, it improves the wikipedia article many folds and makes it much more credible along with providing many excellent independent unbiased reference links to readers.
- In the following "News Search pages" you could search by trying different keywords for the same subject, and also change the subject to any other you are currently working on. Please be beware many of the search results will not be relevant. Please also note at the bottom or in the left margin of each "search result page" you will see links to additional related "search and alert services" being offered by these companies (Yahoo, Google etc.), all for free. Also note current news searches for current times may come up blank if there has been no current news or feature article written in the last few months, look in Google News ARCHIVES in that case:
1) "Google News Search" for Mayo College: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Mayo+College%22&btnG=Search
2) "Google ARCHIVES News Search", including news from last year and before, has further links in the left margin to break up archived news by year and by publication, for news on Mayo College: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Mayo+College%22
3) "Google "Blog Postings" search for Mayo College: http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&client=news&q=%22Mayo+College%22&ie=UTF8
4) "Yahoo News Search" for news on Mayo College: http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search;_ylt=A0WTTks7YtxGMgcB1xWy87UF;_ylu=X3oDMTBhNjRqazhxBHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?fr=sfp&ei=UTF-8&p=%22Mayo+College%22
- In addition to above you can also make "As-It-Happens News Alerts" for articles that interest you and you will like to work on and want to keep abreast with. The news alert service provided by Google and Yahoo sends you latest news as it happens to your email inbox:
1) Set up Google News Alert at: http://www.google.com/alerts
2) Set up Yahoo News Alert at (for this you will have to sign in with your Yahoo Email ID first): http://alerts.yahoo.com/main.php?view=create_news_step1
I learnt about the above services in the last year while looking for news on Asiatic Lion and Asiatic Cheetah two subjects that interest me.
Hope this information will be useful to all, thanks

- You may want to look at www.webcitation.org to archive permanent versions of articles that will be removed from free online public viewing after they've been available for a certain time period. --Hebisddave 14:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Suggestion on how to format References properly in Misplaced Pages (press the Edit button to see the formula)
Main page: Misplaced Pages:FootnotesNote: Please read this full section after pressing Edit above, read in the Edit Box after pressing edit for it to make sense.
Please note that the full references have to be put between in the main text in the article right next to the subject line, the reference automatically appears in a numerical order in the “Cited references” section, here are two examples taken from the Miscellaneous section of the List Mayoites, you have to make the “Cited references” section though, see below on how to after pressing edit above:
(Please ignore Reference Number 1 in Cited reference section below, when you press edit (above in the heading next to "Suggestion on how to format References...") to see the formula you will know why)
- Jiggs Kalra: Celebrity Chef
- Raghavendra Rathore – famous Fashion Designer from India
Cited references
- and
- Jiggs Kalra Interview in The Hindu
- Raghavendra Rathore - Fashion, Indianetzone.com
- For the designer in you – The Hindu, India's National Newspaper dated Apr 07, 2006
- Royal rendezvous - Raghavendra Rathore talks of the corporatisation of fashion with Mini ANTHIKAD-CHHIBBER - The Hindu, India's National Newspaper dated Oct 25, 2005
Note: Now you can go back from the edit box (presuming you had pressed Edit and are reading this in the edit box on wikipedia) to previous page by pressing the back button on your internet browser, do not save your edit here as you had initially pressed Edit on my suggestion to read the formula above on how to format references.
Hope above will be useful, thanks

Removing of Copyright text from Misplaced Pages articles by other users:
We can refer to several sources then write it in our own words and sentences and acknowledge the original references in the reference section, if we dont do so and copy and paste text from other websites, other users of Misplaced Pages will come and delete all copied text and the articled will be stripped down to a few lines at best.
Please also see WP:Copyright, Misplaced Pages:Citing sources, Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style, etc that may apply.
Misplaced Pages guidlines on Using copyrighted work from others::
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Copyright#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others (from WP:Copyright).
Was referring to recent edits and stripping of Mayo College article on copyright arguments.
Mayo College article was stripped down from this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156160948
To this raising copyright concerns:
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156219045
Most of the first version above can still be rewritten in ones own words to remove copyright concerns.
Same is true for improving the Mayo College related article on Mayo College Girls School
