| Can you give me some suggestions on what needs changing(format), also where can I ask for help for others to participate in helping. | |||
| Below are some reasons for the need of this article | |||
| * 1. On wiki there are many sections on terminology and classification. | |||
| * 2. A Tea Studies Index information/article. | |||
| * 3. In the Chinese language, there is a very detailed complete tea studies, terminology, and index, yet English has none yet. | |||
| * 4. I propose this Tea Studies Index just like other fields have specialized terminology, index, and classification. | |||
| * 5. The Tea Studies Index information/article I am the writer/owner, yet I give full permission to the wiki website for use and revisement or such, and give the above information to public domain use. No copyright infringements, any of this article's info, as been derived from posts from my blog (5 years noncommercial and I am the only poster therefore no permission needed)dedicated to tea studies education Where I have posted some of this information about tea studies index. We also will be using this information at ] and throught the tea studies community. | |||

| Hi Ckatz, | |||
| I write about your editing in the Alhambra page. I added a couple of sites I think that have the most complete information about the monument. | |||
| AlhambraDeGranada.org is an old page with very detailed descriptions of the places inside the Alhambra. An exalmple is the Places and spots section (http://www.alhambradegranada.org/en/info/placesandspots.asp). | |||
| Alhambra-patronato.es is the official website. | |||
| So, I think they should be there. | |||

| Hi Ckatz, my article got into some trouble. http://en.wikipedia.org/Koobits Could you please help me? | |||
| It says: | |||
| This article has multiple issues. Please help improve the article or discuss these issues on the talk page. | |||
| * The notability of this article's subject is in question. If notability cannot be established, it may be listed for deletion or removed. Tagged since April 2010. | |||
| * It is written like an advertisement and needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Tagged since April 2010. | |||
| * It may require general cleanup to meet Misplaced Pages's quality standards. Tagged since April 2010. | |||
| * It may have been edited by a person who has a conflict of interest with the subject matter. Tagged since April 2010. | |||
| How to establish notability? The article was written form a neutral point of view, with references showing the facts. Why is it considered not notable? | |||
| In http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability, it says | |||
| If an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject, look for sources yourself, or: | |||
| * Ask the article's creator or an expert on the subject for advice on where to look for sources. | |||
| * Put the {{notability}} tag on the article to alert other editors. | |||
| * If the article is about a specialized field, use the {{expert-subject}} tag with a specific WikiProject to attract editors knowledgeable about that field, who may have access to reliable sources not available online. | |||
| I believe there are sufficient coverage in the page reinforcing the validity or notability for that matter. Does the problem lie with the {{notability}} tag? | |||
| I did not change the content. Why the sudden warning? Will there be future warnings even if there are no changes to the content? Is it possible for other users to sabotage a page by falsely alleging that the page is not ‘notable’, or any other kinds of complaints for that matter? | |||
| I use DELL as an example, they seem to have no problem. Why do I have so many problems? =( | |||
| I feel so sad when my article gets rejected. Please help me! | |||
| Thank you! | |||
| == Porches Pottery == | |||
| Dear Ckatz. IU'm a little confused as to | |||
| "It needs proper, third-party sources tied to the text in the article," | |||
| Everything in the text is factual. There are several books in sources and further info where this can be verified. If you google "Porches Pottery" you wil find the same information. As for third party, in these books Porches pottery is talked about by people such as ] (art critic to Irish Times for 35 years), ], ] , Fernando de Azvedo (painter and President of Sociadede de Bellas Artes, Lisbon), Richard Morphet (Keeper, Tate Britain from 1986 until 1998)- which i've now added- etc. | |||
| Richard Morphert: | |||
| " He later set up a pottery in the Algarve, whose part in the revival of the regional craft has been recognised. Here Swift made a huge contribution to the popularisation of the Algarve, and to the recognition of the beauty of Portugal's landscape, history and culture." | |||
| I'm also not sure which part of the text you think needs sources tied to it? Or why? "to support the claims." ? Two artist set up a pottery to try and revive the local pottery industry. This is well know to anyone who knows Porches, the Artists, the Algarve etc. All is supported by books etc in sources. The rest is mainly info on pottery, methods of decoration etc. This is not a scientific or academic entry. | |||
| "It also needs an involved rewrite to clean out "fluffy" text" | |||
| What you regard as fluffy i imagine is the mind-set and inclanation of the two artists who set out to save the local pottery industry from extinction- which has been recognised by the Portuguese Government. These are two well known artists. What one person may regard as ´fluffy' others will think as something that should be celebrated. | |||
| In my opinion the article needs no further work. And i've studied Patrick Swift and read these books. The fact that someone has not read these books, does not know Porches Pottery, Patrick Swift etc does not mean the article needs further sources. | |||
| : Fernando de Azvedo in An Irish Painter In Portugal, 2001, Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork (ISBN 0-946846-75-8) actually says that Swift's setting up of Porches Pottery is something that the Portuguese people should be always grateful for. | |||
| ::: Now, i've ammended the article adding inline citations and further reading. I just added a book that is held in the Biblioteca national de Portugal (thats the National Library)titled The Story of Porches Pottery by Sarah Wimsley. There is also a link that leads you directly to the web page of the Library with the book mentioned. I think we can now remove that sign? If the sources do not satisfy then it can't really be an issue with the article. If you have issues with the wording i'd be much obliged for specific examples. As i've stated before the story is entirely true. And as i've stated nearly all this info is avail in a thorough google search. | |||
| ::::I removed the citation and wording sign. The story is verifiable and through third parties. I'd appreciate exact examples of anything else that you find fault with in the article- otherwise how are we ever to come to agreement and how is the article to improve? I think it would have been a good idea to do that in the beginning ie contact the person who created the article outlining any concerns. | |||
| - sorry if i come across as brash or rude. It's just that i want to get this done and those tags removed. And nobody seems to help. It's very frustrating when you know the subject and have created the article. | |||
| == I have been insulted == | |||
| Now, I have been insulted over and over again. For example, Mcorazao stated "You have offered no counter-proposal". This is just an outright lie and I am sick of being insulted in this manner and in other ways by Mcorazao. Now you may think that I am supposed to sit back and allow myself to be insulted and do nothing to defend myself. But if Mcorazao insults me again, I am going to retaliate. I am a licensed professional engineer. I hold advanced engineering degrees from both the University of Arkansas and UCLA and I am going to defend my honor and my self respect. '''So I think what you should do is tell Mcorazao to stop insulting me.''' ] (]) 20:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

Frequently asked questions
- Where can I learn more about editing Misplaced Pages?
- The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
- Why was the link I added removed from an article?
- Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Misplaced Pages isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
- Why was my article deleted?
- Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
- Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
- This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Misplaced Pages's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
- Why were my spelling changes reverted?
- Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.
