refs

Hi Tamasin

I think you are doing some editing/updating of pages at the mo? Cd you pls do the refs according to the new format?--see http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:A_Guide_to_Referencing "How to format referencing"

Do let me know if anything is not clear in this referencing guide because I want it to make sense to everyone.

Can you also fill me in very briefly on what you have been and are doing in Spinp at the moment? as it's useful for me to know who's doing what--then I know what I don't have to do myself, if that makes sense.

many thanks --Claire Robinson 13:16, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

On lists

Hi Tamasin

when you do lists of people and companies that have no additional text except their names, there is apparently a coding format that we need to follow. So at the moment at http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Cicero_Consulting we have a vertical list created with <br>:

AXA <br>

Abbey <br>

Alliance and Leicester <br>

The SpinP system is that we need to arrange lists like this across the page so they take up less space vertically. This can be done by doing a find and replace in Word before putting the article into SpinP:

Find ^p Replace with ]] | [[

Then the list goes nicely across the page ...

Does that make sense?

thank you! --Claire Robinson 14:06, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

why do you...

About Grayling... why do you remove an item that is clearly a quotation; edit it; remove references and blend it into less than useful text? silly. There must be several hundred quotations in Spin* which are in a <blockquote...>. do you aim to remove all of them? and are you going to replace direct quotes with your own versions of the text? The latter cannot be referenced.

portal

HI Tamasin

preparing for the public launch and just doing a tour of the portal pages. Cd you bung in some suitable text on yr Lobbying portal page in the bits where it says "text needed here" or delete the sections?

thanks! --Claire Robinson 14:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

DLA and other old pages

Hi,

don't delete old pages unless there is a good reason and you incorporate the new pages. the practice when an organisations changes name is to indicate that the name has changed and then we have two pages. The old one is primarily ghistorical and the new one can include such info from the old one as is relevant.

Can you restore the old DLA Upstream page and include a link tot he new name?

thanks

sourcing

HI Tamasin Probably a work in progress, but for article on Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry can you reference the info with a source--assume it's their website? thanks! --Claire Robinson 13:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

PS

PS on Lobbying portal page, can you put some text into the two empty sections that say "Text needed here"? imagine that someone asked you those q's and just write from the heart! thanks --Claire Robinson 13:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

source

HI Tamasin (copying to David as not sure who originated)

in

http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Weber_Shandwick

do we have a source for the following?

Documents released under FOI, show that Weber Shandwick worked for BNFL in 2004 and 2005.

boring stuff

Hi Tamasin

when we give weblinks in refs, we have to remember to prefix with

http://

not just www. ....

as for some strange reason if it's missing the http:// bit, the link does not work in the ref. Just corrected the ref in Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry article.

thanks! --Claire Robinson 19:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

why remove that passage?

on fitzsimons?

there is a new botton above the edit window at the extreme left which allows you to insert a map.
