[edit] Biologie

I note that the Biologie im Team article has been around for some time. A Biology by Team article might survive here if you were to write it properly. Try translating the German article instead of writing an advert. Make sure to include independent references and the interwiki link! And of course omit all contact details except a link to the official website - linking to an almost empty page impresses nobody! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:24, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

In fact re-reading the text, the tone is all right. The changes required are: omit the contact paragraph, add references and external links and action {{wikify}} {{linkless}} tags. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New version

I have put a prod on the article simply because you have made such a weak attempt to produce a proper article. At the simplest level, I told you in an e-mail not to make the image captions red links. You ignored me. You have made absolutely no attempt at wikification. You could not even manage to link it back to the German article or the official website. You have not provided any references. You have been editing for more than two years, you know what is needed. If you want the article to stay, pull your finger out and make an article. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry for not being so fast in the moment. But I am in Bahrain for a week and I can only use a very strange computer for a short time.

I added part of the wished links, but I did not find problems with the picture. I did not add a link to the official webpage first, as there is also sponsoring information and I did not want to make the article look like an advertisement. The Logo is correct and designed by me 5 years ago and the picture of the competition is also my own work. I did some articles for the german wikipedia, bud this is my first in English. So please tell me, what is still missing. -- Pholub (by e-mail)

Firstly let me apologise for the tone of my note above. I agonised for some time about whether it was too strong but decided that if I had said "make sure to include independent references" and you had provided no refernces at all, then I was reasonably justified.

Did anyone say anything about the images? They look fine too me. This state is OK by me, except still missing are the "independent references". Have there been no newspaper or other media references to the contest? Please provide a couple of external links - even if they are in German. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
