[edit] A few standards

Hi, I'm glad you're looking over the Ron Darling and Bob Ojeda articles I had a hand in writing. Just a couple comments as far as style, etc.:

  1. Per WP:MOSDATE, [[1978-08-29]] is an acceptable way to include a date. If a reader has their date preferences (the "My preferences" link at the top followed by the "Date and time" tab) set up to show a certain style, that is the style that will show no matter how the date is linked. I have mine set up to show MMMM dd, yyyy so 1978-08-29 and August 29, 1978 look the same to me. However, August 29, 1978 is not an acceptable way to write a date and will show up as a broken red link.
  2. Also, take a look at WP:MOSHEAD which says you should not use ampersands (&) and should always use lower case in section headings.
  3. WP:MOS-L suggest that you not link the same article twice within close proximity to each other but that it makes sense to link twice if the occurrences are further from each other.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Once an article has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate! —Wknight94 (talk) 02:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
