License tagging for File:Barto and Mann.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Barto and Mann.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I replied to your request for feedback. I hope the comments are useful and you will take them on board. Thanks very much. Chevy monte  carlo  - alt 19:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Just letting you know I replied to your question to me on my talk page. -Andrew c [talk] 17:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, I'm not sure how to reply to your e-mail and to thank you for your feedback. If this is how to answer, thank you so much. I have added categories and will work on the footnotes. I have read not to have too few or too many footnotes, so I'll add a couple more until someone provides feedback that I have too many footnotes. Brad Smith 21:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Barto and Mann
No problem, happy to help.

I should point out though you shouldn't get carried away with links! For example it is not considered good practice to link section headings like in the present version. If a section heading directly relates to an article on Wikipedia it is better to add the code beneath the heading (edit this page to see the code). For example the article on William Shakespeare. Even if there is no directly related article you probably will have linked to the appropriate one within the text of the section and so linking the heading is redundant anyway.

There are lots of little coding tricks to make articles more professional, a tip is to look at highly ranked (Featured or Good) articles and see the types of things they do there. You can get most of the useful tips at WP:MOS as well or one of the many links.

If you have reliable evidence to show an article (e.g Hellzapoppin' (musical)) is incorrect don't hesitate to provide the evidence on that article's Discussion page. If it is agreed with someone will move the page to the correct title, and once you get experienced enough you can even move the article to the correct title yourself. Renaming an article is the same thing "moving" an article, each article takes a unique name and to change it you must "move" the article to a new unique name. But it must be done right, checking all the pages that link to that page. It's not that hard, and like with most things there is a help page, WP:MOVE.

To link to any section heading you use a hash between the article name and the section name, i.e Alexander Pantages#Pantages Theatre Circuit, and this goes on the left-hand side of the piped link. If you do this though remember to write a comment under the section heading on the Alexander Pantages page noting that the Barto and Mann page links to that section heading. If someone wants to change that page they then know not to break the link.

Hope that helps. Chizero (talk) 16:27, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Feedback to Help:My sandbox
"When I click on "My Sandbox," my last project (Dewey Barto) appears. This article has been accepted. How do I begin a new project in My Sandbox"?"

When you click on My sandbox at User:Bradford Smith/sandbox, it now redirects to Dewey Barto. Under the title, you will see (Redirected from User:Bradford Smith/sandbox). When you click on that link, it will open your sandbox page without the redirect. You can then edit as desired. ---— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 09:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nancy Walker, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Mann (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
