Mines Advisory Group
Thanks for your recent edits to the Mines Advisory Group article. I started the article some time ago, and it's good to have someone finally updating it. One question though... what sources are you using for the information you're adding? The article really needs some references, so if you can list your sources it will help! I'll keep helping out with the layout of the article. Let me know if you're having any difficulty with wiki-syntax, and I'll sort it out.

Also, there's something funny going on under the VII Community Liaison (CL) header. Is it supposed to be a bulleted list? The bullets don't show up correctly in my browser. I can fix the problem if you let me know how it should appear. Thanks, - Papa November 1 15:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, I'm new to using Wikipedia so not too sure what's going on with the bullets- feel free to sort it out. I'm writing from MAg HQ in Manchester, so effectively all the information is direct from MAGAndybrock27 16:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, bullets are easy. Just put an asterisk in front of each line of the bulleted text.  eg.

* item 1 * item 2 * item 3


 * Appears as


 * item 1
 * item 2
 * item 3


 * I've fixed it on the MAG article.  I've also added an infobox to the article, containing the company logo.  At the moment, I've tagged it as being fair use of a copyrighted image.  If anyone at MAG HQ objects, I can request its speedy deletion.  Also, if you have any free images we can use in the article, that would be great.  By the way, are Harriett and Julia still working at MAG?  If so, say hi from me.  I'm long overdue to do some more fundraising :) - Papa November 1 18:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I just thought what might have gone wrong with the bullets... are you using a word processor to write things and then copying/pasting into your web-browser? If so, that will cause all sorts of things to go a bit weird.  You're far better off using a plain text editor like Notepad, or simply typing into your web browser directly. - Papa November 1 18:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help- we have a new Information and Production officer who has recently started. He will be working on improving the internet site and I will also work with him on improving the Wikipedia site in the coming weeks- I'm sure this will involve inserting some suitable photos. Julia and Harriett are still here, although Harriett is departing soon to explore pastures new- I'll say hello for you! Andybrock27 15:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Good stuff. If you can find one or two images to release on a suitable Creative Commons license, they'll be available for use on every Wikipedia in all languages.  In the meantime, there are loads of free images we can use at Wikimedia Commons.  You might want to have a look at these pages on commons...
