I just finished my article about OA5 in my sandbox. Should I expand any part of this article? Include more references? Is it easy enough to read? Formatting OK? Which would be the best place to link this article... in The Dilbert Principle? This is my first article, in the first attempt I didn't use the sandbox so it was speedy-removed because its small size. Hopefully know it will provide enough context to the reader. Thanks!
- Hi. I've moved this to the bottom of the page as that is where we look for new threads.OK. First, please sign talk page posts with four ~ things (and make sure you are logged in, too...) as that signs your post and puts the date stamp on. Now, our article. I would advise you to get references to show that it is a term used in other places than the book. The book is notable, but not every bit of it taken by itself is. You need to show that this has been discussed, reviewed or similar in different places. See WP:RS. The book itself can't be used to show that this thing is notable. (Just as my website can't be used to show that I am notable...) If you get stuck, and no-one has come up with anything else, leave a note at my talk page. Peridon (talk) 17:18, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
