Hi Lynn

Make sense?
  
There is no need to add [[SpinProfiles: to the internal links... this is only necessary if you point to wikipedia, sourcewatch or other wiki databases...

Hi Lynn;
 
 
 
You may ask David why since it seems to me that if the pages are going to be used internally, then there is no need for that...  Maybe the pages are going to be used by others?

Hi Lynn
 
 
 
This is what I meant... in the page how to write a new page one finds:
 
 
 
>>
 
* The Wiki Markup: ⌈⌈SpinProfiles:How Does One Edit a Page|How does one edit a page⌉⌉
 
<<
 
(where i substituted the bracket to make it visible here)
 
Note that this can be written as:
 
 
 
>>
 
* The Wiki Markup: &lceil;&lceil;How Does One Edit a Page|How does one edit a page&rceil;&rceil;
 
<<
 
 
 
The reason for this is that the link is internal.

Hi Lynn;
 
 
 
I was fiddling a bit with the links to discover if <nowiki>[[SpinProfiles:x|y]]</nowiki> is the same as <nowiki>[[x|y]]</nowiki> and it seems to be the case that for special pages one may have to prefix the SpinProfiles... this is new to me.  I hope this clarifies MY OWN question!!

Hi Lynn and Paul,
 
 
 
it seems that we do need to name the pages with spinprofiles at the beginning - agreed?

Hi Lynn,

no need to add external links if they just give more info aboout the person. the key thing is to look at the text and see if

  • it needs rewritten
  • to see if there is anything obvious about the person which is missing.
  • to add a summary at the top if needed 9egt on Ancona you might add that he is both a journalist and a neoliberal think tank networker)
  • in these cases to think about them in relation to editorial intelligence as this is an organisation (in my view) which is there to abolish the distinction between pr and journalism. So, eg Ancona is both a hack and think tanker meaning he has a conflict of interest and also that he is both pushing a view and reporting views.

Make sense?
