[edit] Word2MediaWikiPlus

Looking at your earlier question, it seems as though you were asking about how to create an article using Word. In the process, you have created an article called Word2MediaWikiPlus. Is this a program you used to format the article you created? It's fairly unreadable in its current state, but if the subject is notable someone with more experience can help you clean it up. Is this what happened? You can leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Leebo⁸⁶ 18:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The move is complete, and the article is now located at Robert Ira Lewy. Just wanted to make sure you knew what happened to it, in case you couldn't find it again. Leebo⁸⁶ 18:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Lee. Kingseason 18:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Yeah, we can continue when you get back. That should be fine. Wikify and cleanup are close in meaning. Wikify means to bring the article closer to the Manual of Style guidelines for how an article should look. That link you mentioned regarding the backlog indicates articles that need wikifying, but doesn't define it well. Cleanup is a process where users look at "messy" articles. Like I said, they're both similar, and the tags really just alert people to an article in need of help; the more people the better. Leebo⁸⁶ 02:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. BTW, since these articles are open to peer editing anyhow, please have at it. Lets not stand on protocol.Kingseason 02:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Was this you?

Was this edit to my talk page posted by you? The IP address has no other contributions, so I'm assuming you probably didn't realize you weren't logged in. If that's the case, I'll review the article, and I'll try to clean it up a bit. It doesn't look like anyone else has done that yet. Leebo⁸⁶ 19:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC) Yes, Thanks, It was I, and I wasn't logged in. Please edit to your hearts content, and thank you so much.

I just tried cleaning it up and I'm not even sure where to start. Have you looked at other biographical articles to see how they are usually written? There's a standard format (Wikipedia:Manual of Style). I'm going to have trouble rewriting it without making substantial changes to things you wrote. You should review Wikipedia:Citing sources for an idea of how inline citations work. You also need to add double brackets [[like this]] around important words and terms.

I have another question, and don't take offence, but what is your relation to Mr. Lewy? The article is written in an extremely extensive manner, but only the academic portions are cited with sources, not the facts of personal history. Leebo⁸⁶ 16:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at it again. Leebo. Would you mind making a pass at it? I understand substantial changes are needed. I thought I had it covered. The syntax is a little intimidating; that was the idea of the WordtoWiki program I used. I think you understand the essential thrust of the article. I am Dr Lewy's research assistant; so I am familiar with his academic accomplishments, and hunted down the newspaper references, philanthrophy and so on from him.

[edit] It's not deleted

But the redirect from Word2MediaWikiPlus was deleted. It's here at Robert Ira Lewy. Leebo ^T/C 17:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC) Thank you as always.Kingseason 17:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
