Claire's favourite Star Trek character

Have a look at the resources section of the page on CoRWM: http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/CoRWM or http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Bell_Pottinger_Communications#References

The key thing is to reference docuemtns fully (ie author, title, source, vdate etc) and to upload the documents to the site via the 'upload image' link under 'special pages'. To determine the url for the uploaded file right click on the name of it once uploaded and 'copy link location'.

FOI ref author, title for this doc dates etc et


Great stuff on Portman and Drinkaware. Can you remember to add numbers to the refs in the text?

Also, you might want to try and use lexis to examine the history of Portman etc. --David 09:49, 17 Apr 2007 (BST)

1) Should the links in the text go directly to external web pages, or, should they go to the bottom of the page to the references where the external link will be?

Ideally they should go to the bottom of the page, but this is not so importants as these weill mostley be older pags which can be updated in time

and 2) If a page only consists of the title and one affiliation eg Dan Fox should this be listed as needing content, or, are we only concerned with fixing existing content and these should not be listed? I think these pages are usually ok. They do need content, but are not any kind of legal problem. They just need more work in the fullness of time!

and the final question is a URL the web address that starts with http:/? That last question will probably seem a bit daft, but to be honest I'm not 100% of what a URL is!

yes, that's right.

You are doing great so far. --David 07:58, 22 May 2007 (BST)

at the risk

Hi Clare;

At the risk of making a nuisance of myself.

It is the usual practice to do as many edits for each wiki-save. That is, you do your edits elsewhere (e.g., Word), and then do as many of them at once before saving them. This keeps the history of an article/record clearer...

You can go to wikipedia and see that it is part of the wiki etiquette...
