[edit] Ralph H. Earle
Hey there! I made some pretty heft edits to your new Earle article. Just some friendly advice: in the future, please take the time to research a bit more, as well as add the usual wikilinks, required categories, etc. I also added a couple of wikiprojects this one falls under. You're probably new at this, so don't feel bad -- I'm really glad that you started this; I just helped a little :). You know what they say about teaching a man to fish.... I'm no Wikipedia guru, but I'm always willing to help if you need anything! Aepoutre (talk) 04:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- The Ralph Earle (scholar) article said Ralph Earle was Professor of Biblical Literature, starting 1933. That was 75 years ago. Why do you think the "current director of Psychological Counseling Services" is the same Ralph Earle? Various people were named Ralph Earle Nephate (talk) 04:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hahaha! Good call! My bad. I searched for Ralph H. Earle. We can still keep the middle initial as part of the article, though. I doubt anyone is scrambling to write an article on that guy. I should follow my own advice; thanks for catching that!!! Aepoutre (talk) 05:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Update -- The Psychology guy is his son, Ralph H. Earle, Jr. Hence the confusion! Aepoutre (talk) 05:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] March 2008
Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Christianity and alcohol, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Flex (talk/contribs) 15:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Unreferenced
Absolutely! Good job - this article is on its way to being world-class. I really appreciate you asking me, but you're not obliged to, so I hope you don't think you need permission. If you're asking just for advice, I'm happy to give my perspective here and if you need anymore help on Wikipedia. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
