Thanks, Keith D, for your welcome and changes to my contribution. Question - how does one highlight words (such as "South Sea Company" and "ferme ornée") to link to other wiki pages? Cardenae (talk) 07:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

I've removed the requested move from this page. Firstly, this is your talk page and it wouldn't have been moved. Userspace drafts are normally created as subpages. Reading Wikipedia:How to use your user space may be of help to you. Secondly, as stated at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Processes beyond the scope of this page, a requested move is not the right process for moving userspace drafts to article space, instead the Articles for creation process should be used. Normally I'd just add the submit template to the article as explained on the requested move page but as I've also had to create a new page I've created the new page in the place that AFC submissions are normally stored. You can now find your new article at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Robert Carden and if you wish to edit it you should edit it there. It may also be worth watch listing the page so you can see when someone reviews it and what comments they leave you. Dpmuk (talk) 11:29, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Dpmuk Cardenae (talk) 11:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In answer to your question that I've just spotted above, the answer is often as simple as surrounding the text in [[ and ]], e.g. [[South Sea Company]] which produces South Sea Company. The page Help:Wiki markup may well be of help to you as that page explains how to create links, format a page etc. Dpmuk (talk) 12:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation[edit]

Thank you for submitting an article to Wikipedia. Your submission has been reviewed and has been put on hold pending clarification or improvements from you or other editors. Please take a look and respond if possible. You can find it at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Robert Carden. If there is no response within twenty-four hours the request may be declined; if this happens feel free to continue to work on the article. You can resubmit it (by adding the text {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article) when you believe the concerns have been addressed. Thank you.

Response to review. I disagree - I think that if someone wanted to know about Robert Carden, Governor of Antigua, they would find the proposed article extremely interesting and informative. Why not accept it and allow me and others to improve it in due course? I have looked at the guidelines and cannot see how to overcome your objections. None of the many people called Robert Carden to be found elsewhere are connected with, or contemporary with, the subject of my article. No other page with my suggested title "Robert Carden, Governor of Antigua 1666" already exists. Cardenae (talk) 09:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work[edit]

I tend to just make stubs based on the imaes released by the Library of Congress each week. They have thousands of images with the name of the people on the image but no further context. They have been crowdsourcing the information at Flickr Commons. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:11, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
