Here's a 1951 article from the Union Democrat that should help in establishing notability for Frenchman's Tower. Also, see this article at Metroactive. The Examiner article won' be notable enough to include, and the others may be just window dressing once notability is established. Flowanda | Talk 05:31, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's probably more than enough info and sourcing to create a Wikipedia article, but it needs rewriting and organization to meet Wikipedia style. I'm not trying to step on your toes, but would you mind if I made some edits? Flowanda | Talk 08:15, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your third paragraph, beginning "Over the years, trespassers have carved names or initials into almost every brick," doesn't have any sources and seems to be WP:Original Research.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jeffrey Hall is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeffrey Hall until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions on the SoDak Con lead. I believe I have corrected it to be more informative. If you see anything else the help is always appreciated. Phoxtank (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also a little confused about the AfD for SoDak Con. I hope it's not out of line for me to ask, but since I am a new user I'm almost afraid to do things without verification first. I think I've read through the information on how AfD works, I'm just not certain if it would be inappropriate for me to vote and/or comment on the discussion area in AfD. The last thing I want is my own newbie actions to further inflict detrimental damage to the SoDak Con article.Phoxtank (talk) 15:09, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wikifr - thx for the edits on dental implant. at wp:medicine we've made a collective decision not to use the cite pmid (although i prefer it) opting for cite journal to ease translation of pages. the study is a cochrane analysis (a good secondary resource). why did you add the anchor text? are you linking from something else? Ian Furst (talk) 21:54, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the message. The problem (as I understand it) is that cite PMID and ISBN create a template page that is specific to that particular languages wiki. When the translators attempt to copy the article page, the link is lost and they have to try and find the data, retranscribe and translate it. Apparently there's also issues with how some of the data is moved with PMID (although I don't think that issue exists with ISBN). The real solution is to host citation data on Wikidata (see the grant proposal by BlueRasperry here meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Reform of citation structure for all Wikimedia projects) which is also a proposed roundtable at wikimania. If citations are all on Wikidata they will be accessible to all Wiki's (e.g. all languages). Until then, we've decided to standardize the data to cite journal and book. Personally, I liked the ISBN and PMID too but they create other problems. Once the data is migrated it should be easier. No problem adding in the link though. Thx.

Were the four uses of 'substrait' vs. 'substrate' a phonetic misspelling? Also:

"deposit a layers" -> "deposit layers"

'verticle' -> 'vertical'

"... most of the area of the substraits are exposed to the vapor below." - 'substrates' would be plural, but 'area' would be one thing so singular, but 'are' is plural but applied to 'area' - it sounds weird like it should be 'is' but that would be for somebody who knows these things to decide? :-/

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 23:46, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wikfr. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ernest Lacy".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 20:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
