*You don't ''have'' to use footnotes, '''but''', to quote from ], "Any material lacking a reliable source may be removed". Therefore, it is a very good idea to use them. It's not a requirement, but it is strongly recommended.

*There are lots of really bad articles on Misplaced Pages, but saying that ] is not a convincing argument for adding to the problem. If you want to compare other articles, then it is best to look at similar articles within the ] or ], which are more likely to follow current guidelines. One reason that older articles do not conform is, the standards of Misplaced Pages have increased over the years, and we haven't got around to fixing all the older ones yet. Fortunately, ].

*We can only use pictures if the copyright holder gives explicit permission for anyone to use it, for any purpose. That's because Misplaced Pages is free; we want others to be able to copy it. If it was your own picture (ie you were the copyright holder), then you could give permission by uploading it and clicking the options to say "I am the copyright holder, and I hereby declare that anyone can use it for any purpose". But, in this case, it is someone elses picture - so, there are two options;

:*The copyright holder could sign up to Misplaced Pages and upload it themself, or
:*You could get them to send us an email, with the picture attached. An appropriate text for this is in ], and the address to send it to is, photosubmissions@wikimedia.org

::'''Please note that, in either case, we can only accept the picture if the copyright holder is happy for anyone to use it for any purpose'''

*Information 'from him' - if he has told you things - cannot be used in the article. Unless it has been published in a ], then it is not ].

Periodic Detention

Bots; 
I'm gonna strip the AFC page - remove the {{AFC submission...}} and the <!-- comment> stuff and the auto-reference part, and see what is left, and if it looks anything like an article
 <@Chzz> also, gonna be able to advise people if they ONLY put refs UNDER ==References==
 <@Chzz> but...yeah; that is on the long to-do-list
 <@Chzz> am just trying to get less "false positives", but miss less who do need ref-help
 <@Chzz> am also gonna check number-of-edits, and not give any help on e.g. >50 edits
 <@Chzz> and I'm gonna fix the sandbox-cleaner so it clears more 'sandbox' pages, in tutorials and talks
 <@Chzz> and fix the stalkbot up
 <@Chzz> and add another stalkbot that actually checks the diff
 <@Chzz> (which thus becomes as powerful as 'edit filter')
 <@Chzz> then I just need to install the "laser beam" and we're good to go

Removed prod from Agnieszka Lukasiak.

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Agnieszka Lukasiak, which you proposed for deletion, because I think that this article should not be deleted from Misplaced Pages. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atama頭 18:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Go on

MSGJ would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact MSGJ to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Chzz . If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

I think it's time to accept a nomination. Misplaced Pages has suffered for long enough without your skills as an admin :) Please say yes. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much MSGJ; for now, suffice to say that I'm very flattered in your confidence. I am currently on holiday, and not on[REDACTED] as much as normal - but I assure you that I will give your suggestion due consideration, and will respond further ASAP. Thanks again,  Chzz  ►  22:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I look forward to your (positive) answer. Happy holiday, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Have you had a chance to think about this yet?? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
MSGJ, I certainly haven't forgotten about this; I am currently working on lots of other stuff - I hope to 'clear the decks' soon. I don't want to mess you around...please, rest-assured, I will respond further as soon as I have time. Thanks for your patience,  Chzz  ►  20:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Hope I can get in line for the co-nom. :) GrooveDog (oh hai.) 01:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Try, try, try again (Troutman article)

Chzz,

Okay, I deleted the language about "professional," the Resume Place being a small, woman-owned business, and about Troutman popularizing the Federal Resume format in the 1990s. If I can dig up better references in the future, I'll post them.

The only outstanding complaint you had other than the above was about online references to Troutman's books (#4 in our last exchange). Her books are referenced in footnotes 3 and 4.

If that's ok, can we go live with the article?

Thanks, --Burkeguy 22:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkeguy (talk • contribs)

When you're back, could you let me know about the Troutman article?

Thanks! I hope you're having a good time wherever you are.

--Burkeguy 13:23, 5 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkeguy (talk • contribs)

I'll get to this ASAP.  Chzz  ►  18:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

help request answer

Hi, thanks for your comments and suggestions on my CHUCK PARSONS article. I signed the draft in the wrong place and cut off two references. That was my starting point for the references. Should I use footnotes? I looked at one of the links in my article and I thought my article was referenced at least as well as that. Also, I have a picture, and cannot figure out how to attach it to the article. Its from one of Chuck Parson's crew members, and I have permission to use it. Much of the information is also from him and from many different sources, that reflect the types of cars he drove and his race results. Two sources of this information are listed.DGNW (talk) 06:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

  • You don't have to use footnotes, but, to quote from WP:V, "Any material lacking a reliable source may be removed". Therefore, it is a very good idea to use them. It's not a requirement, but it is strongly recommended.
  • There are lots of really bad articles on Misplaced Pages, but saying that other stuff exists is not a convincing argument for adding to the problem. If you want to compare other articles, then it is best to look at similar articles within the featured articles or good articles, which are more likely to follow current guidelines. One reason that older articles do not conform is, the standards of Misplaced Pages have increased over the years, and we haven't got around to fixing all the older ones yet. Fortunately, there is no deadline.

Please note that, in either case, we can only accept the picture if the copyright holder is happy for anyone to use it for any purpose
  • Information 'from him' - if he has told you things - cannot be used in the article. Unless it has been published in a reliable source, then it is not verifiable.
I hope that this helps, best,  Chzz  ►  07:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
