Hi, I need a few guidelines.. Thanks Hila
[edit] Some guidelines
- Sign your entry on a discussion page with four tildes "~". I did so and that produces: DCDuring 03:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Don't get intimidated by the the tags.
- The article needs to be Wikified. It doesn't look like original research to me and you have plenty of references and specific citations. They should be put in Wikipedia form. If there is controversy, then you may need to get to page citations, but that would be farther down the road. I will read the article more carefully over the next few days.
Also see your own personal discussion page for a note I left you on a related matter. Put a little something about yourself on your personal page (click where it has Hila in red.). I've not been at this too long myself. DCDuring 03:12, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please add proper reference citations
The way the article is sourced is inadequate. The reader must be able to go to the source, page number, etc. The reference citation for each statement must be retrievable by the reader and able to be verified. Please see WP:CITE, WP:FN, WP:V etc. Long lists of referenced at the bottom are useless and look bad, over the top. All books must have ISBN. Regards, --Mattisse 03:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
This level of precision is rarely reached. It does not warrant heavy tagging for what is a very promising article. DCDuring 03:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Matisse, could you please provide a link to one of your articles to show us how it's done. DCDuring 03:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. This was just a DYK Songyue Pagoda . I have started work on Forensic psychology in the last week. Since I have just begun, it still needs much work. The best policy, and the one I always follow, is to add a citation every time you add information. --Mattisse 18:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. the Songyue Pagoda was written in a day since the criteria for DYK is the article must be less than five days old. Also, it was a subject that I knew nothing about. I researched the information and each time I added it to the article, I added a reference citation to source it. --Mattisse 18:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- The Forensic psychology article I did not originate. Therefore I am cleaning it up. However, I wrote Theodore H. Blau in the last few days. The way to go is to start out small and build as you gather information and references. --Mattisse 18:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looking Good!!!
Having the references make this look so much more professional. There may be folks who want to challenge things, but this is really good. Now you might want to look at what links to this article and see what opportunities there might be improve how they refer to this article (in-line is better than see also). Also you might want to insert references this page that SHOULD be in others. Text searching all of WP articles on alternative words and especially phrases that are related can be fun and make the article more useful. DCDuring 01:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
