[edit] MBAs w/o borders
Do you have any questions about how to mark-up the page to do things? Let me know. I'll help if I can. Cheers, Flyguy649talkcontribs 06:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I was wondering if you could help me so it doesn't say that it uses too many buzzwords? Specifically what words I should change + sentance structure. As well, any other overall help with the article would be much appreciated.
- Hi there. Sorry, I was writing my reply while you were writing yours. Welcome (again) to Wikipedia. We all started out a new users at one point, so no worries. First off, I tagged the page with the {{buzzwords}} template because it some buzzwords, such as "nations of interest", in it which (I feel) detracts from the article. I'll remove the tag (all you have to do is remove it in the edit window), but I suggest trying to define terms and use plain language as much as possible. Also an article is better if you have independent, third part sources (see WP:ATT). Otherwise, label it as a stub. You can also improve it by wikilinking terms by placing [[ ]] around words that you want to link. I did a couple earlier (eg. Canadian linking to Canada by using [[Canada|Canadian]]). In this example, the link is to one word, but what is displayed is another. I'll also fix the website link for you. Let me know if you have more questions, but I'm heading to bed soon. Oh, one other thing. It's helpful if you sign your talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~) to leave your username and a datestamp, like at the end of this post.

Hey thanks a lot. I will try and clean up some of the abstract terms. (Aleinwan 06:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)) I hope that worked! Thank you again for your help.
- No problem. One tiny thing is capitalisation in headings. Only capitalise the first word unless it's a proper noun (e.g. History and people). The Manual of Style has lots on things like that. I'll also tag it as a stub quickly. Flyguy649talkcontribs 06:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks ! I appreciate it. I will see if I can link up with some third-party sources. (Aleinwan 06:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC))
