Hi,
great work on the profiles.
a couple of formatting tip[s:
No need to use the | in references - just leave a space between the URL and the title. Also, the [1] formatting needs to include a different label or number in each ref.
Eg [2], [3] etc and then the corresponding title at the bottom:
I have edited the Keith Hellawell page to show how it works...
Any queries, just ask me a question on my talk page: http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/User_talk:David Thanks

Hi,
I should have said: Can you make sure that the label on the ref and note formatting is differeint froeach reference? eg, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc rather than 1, 1,1, 1
And can you make sure that the ref order in the text eg, 1, 2, 3, 4 is the same order at the bottom eg 1, 2, 3, 4 (or alternatively if it is 5, 6, 2, 1 in the text it should be the same at the bottom.
Am I explaining this well enough?

Do not use SW as a reference
Hi Neha;
I notice that you have entered quite a few references to articles. Although I applaud this effort, I am afraid that entering SourceWatch/Wikipedia etc. as a source/reference is not valid or acceptable. Here is why:
- Several articles were simply ported from SW to Spin*... This is OK, but what is not acceptable is to put SW as the source of the material. SW is a tertiary source just like Spin*, and thus this referencing is not legitimate. I have a suspicion that in an academic setting this would cause quite a few problems, and similarly it should cause problems for Spin*.
- If the SW material doesnt have a requisite source, then the same material in Spin* has the same problem of sourcing.
I would urge caution in using Google to determine sources -- if one lands in a compilation wiki database like SW, or a blog, then one hasnt obtained a valid source.
Kind rgds Paulo
