Thankyou for your contributions so far. Please be careful in the changes you make - some things are undoing improvements made by other editors. For example, you changed a link from Perth (which in the edit box looks like [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]] to Perth. The latter is a link to a page that lists all articles about places named Perth. We obviously want to link to the place in Scotland. Similarly, you added {{school-stub}} template when a more specific one, {{Scotland-school-stub}} had already been added. Wikipedia is a steep learning curve and you are certainly not expected to know all the intricacies of article writing at first. :) Please try to be careful about undoing improvements made by others though. If you check the history of the page, you can read the edit summaries that will explain why changes have been made. For example, it's not usual to have a list of subjects offered by the school as this is not really encyclopaedic information. The curriculum can certainly be discussed in prose style. See The Judd School and Stuyvesant High School as examples of some of our best and most developed school articles. Let me know if you have any questions.

I apologize if my added citations to Vatican Library did not conform to the preferred standard, I have been using ProveIt and only recently started using citations as a regular part of my repertoire. Can you recommend another citation gadget that can make my contributions less disruptive? --NickPenguin_(contribs) 20:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

@NickPenguin: No problem, personally I use the default refToolbar 2.0b and find this is a good tool for quickly adding details to a citation template aiding consistency. WP:CT gives details of some templates used for this purpose, if that is of interest, although it is also noted that if an article already has a consistent citation format, then to stick to that. Not a situation I personally felt applied to Vatican Library. CSJJ104 (talk) 20:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

By the way, I really appreciate all the work you have been doing with the citations for the TAFI articles, especially with the duplicate citations and correcting template usage. Also, I have started using the refToolbar like you have suggested. --NickPenguin_(contribs) 18:47, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

By the way, this outline has entered a new phase of construction, in case you are ready for another round of fleshing out this subject. I look forward to seeing your further additions. The Transhumanist 05:21, 15 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.
