Ways to improve John E. McDougall[edit]

Hi, I'm TonyBallioni. WAG57, thanks for creating John E. McDougall!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If you could use footnotes to show which sources your facts come from, it would help the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hallo TonyBallioni. Thanks for reviewing my article on John McDougall. I have two problems about your suggestions. Mainly my complete Wikipedia articles are based on the sources that are listed under External Links. Therefore I think it is not helpful to mark parts of the text with tabs, because the complete text refers to these sources. As a result I really don't know where to set these Tabs. Currently I am working on the Lieutenant Governors of several US-States that do not have a EN WP article yet. These are cases were good sources are rare and therefore the text is normally short. For this reason I think footnotes and tabs are not helpful and as stated above I would'nt know where to set them.

My second problem is the curation page. I would be glad to use it as suggested. However I just feel insecure with this tool. I will not give up and eventually (I do not know when) may understand the proper usage of this tool. I am trying my best to meet the standards of the EN WP. I hope you can understand my above arguments and you can accept my articles as they are. At this point I have nothing better to offer. --WAG57 (talk) 07:45, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The IP spammed messages like this to a couple of dozen user talk pages. See also Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 75#Please don't be a sock proxy. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:52, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
