To 'wikify' that list of members of the Wind energy assoc do the following:

1. paste into word.
2. use find and replace command in the edit menu
3. Find ^p (paragraph mark)
4. replace with ]] | [[
5. paste back into spinprofiles
6. .... that's it!!

good stuff - formatting and tone

Good work on the various lobby groups. some suggestions. Look at the formatting changes I made to the Climate Group page and in particular the use of colons to indent para's. Also on tone: can you try and avoid evaluations such as calling the corporations 'dirty' unless you can provide evidence there and then. We try and keep the database as factual as possible in order that it can be more useful.

also, in building a profile you should list al the member of any organisation. if it is a longish list then it should go at the bottom of the page and then you can refer in summary to some of the more important/dodgy companies further up. Make sense?

Keep up the good work

David Green

Did you see what i did with David Green? See also the link on the UKBCSE page which just says David Green but diverts to the correct page... Follow how to do this?

talk pages and Green

Yes, through the talk pages.

Also on green:

• David Green goes to the page with a list of three David Green's
• David Green (renewables lobbyist) goes directly to the correct page

But:

• [[David Green (renewables lobbyist)|David Green]]

goes to the correct page but displays as:

• David Green

See now?

Ian Marchant

Hi Miriam

welcome to Spin!

Just a style point: can you lead into the Ian Marchant quote with some kind of context? see

http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:How_to_Structure_an_Article#Put_quotes_in_context

lets the reader know who's speaking and context?

also I have put in a weblink to your source--have a look at the way I've formatted it in the ref, making the title of the article into the link. it's good always to put in links where they exist.

many thanks and keep up the good work --Claire Robinson 21:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

PS

Hi Miriam

also when you've done with Marchant, don't forget to put in a category at the bottom of the article--you can choose from the categories listed on the categories page (go to toolbox at side of page, then special pages, then categories)--you have to spell it the same, incl any upper case characters--or if there is no good category, you can make up your own category. it will appear in red... click on it to go into the category page and type a sentence to describe the category (eg "all articles in the category xyz"). then the category will appear in blue whenever you use it to show that that category page exists.

any q's just click on my signature below to go to talk page and leave msj.

thanks... --Claire Robinson 21:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
