Janeway article
This article appears to be copied form another source. the first line, "Jump to: navigation, search" is a dead giveaway, though I was not able to track down the source. If it is copied from a newspaper article or some such source, it is likely a copyright violation and subject to deletion.

No sources are cited which independently assert notability, either. These are needed to prove whether or not the subject is notable by Wikipedia policies. Articles which aren't about notable subjects are subject to deletion.

If I can help you with this article in some way, please leave a note on my talk page. Realkyhick 19:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The reference helped greatly. Anyone that has had a biography published by Harvard Press is pretty much guaranteed to meet notability standards. I took the liberty of loking up the ISBN number and adding it to the article. You might want to look at the code next time you edit the article, and also check out the Wikipedia footnote guide. Once you understand how it works, it's actually simpler than most other methods of footnoting.


 * As for drafting the article in Word, that's a good idea, but a lot of the Word formatting doesn't carry over into Wikipedia — that's partly a limitation of the Internet and HTML. The style manual details a lot of the minutae of how to format stuff at Wikipedia.


 * Good job. Dr. Janeway sounds like a fascinating gentleman. Thanks for sharing him with us. Realkyhick 04:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
