Talk:Anomie theory

I am in the process of creating this page. Please refrain from editing until i have completed, as you have now disrupted my work several times. Thank you. Darthhk 06:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. Darthhk 08:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I've added a few tags to the article. It needs some sources, and the text needs to be wikified. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks bro. Im pretty new to this, but I know a whole bunch about criminal justice and the legal system, even alot of the obscure stuff. Im just happy to help.Darthhk 16:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Added my sources (in actuality, I just knew this stuff from all the law classes in college, but I included some first rate sites [seconday sources, of course, but what do you expect... this stuff is pretty obscure]).Darthhk 17:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, Im not entirely sure what it means to "wikify", could you tell me what in the article doesnt look correct so I can fix it?Darthhk 17:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * See Glossary - essentially, it just needs to be formatted like other articles. Most importantly, portions of the text with articles should be wikilinked, link you did with the "The Division of Labour In Society" link (although there isn't yet an article by that name so it's a "redlink". --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Got it, thanks.Darthhk 17:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

When you wikilink once (say, for example, "anomie"), do you have to continue to link every single appearance of that word in the article?Darthhk 17:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope - generally the first instance is linked, and the rest are unlinked. --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

how do i decide which words to link? virtually every word in this article has an article somewhere...Darthhk 18:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That's usually the sort of thing to use your own judgment on - see Manual of Style (links) for some guidance though. Don't worry about linking too much or too little, others can always come around later and make adjustments. --AbsolutDan (talk) 03:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
