User talk:Don Shearman

Re John Raymand* Broadbent I tagged it for deletion, but someone else will make the decision, you should put something on its talk page about why it should be kept so that you can state you case for it remaining - you should do that very fast. -- Armadillo From Hell 06:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok I removed the speedy delete tag myself, and added some cleanup tags. Don't worry about them, there is no rush to fix it now, it just needs neatening up when you have time. Other editors may also jump in and help you. -- Armadillo From Hell 06:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I renamed it to John Raymand Broadbent and I''ll make some other changes to link and separate the two articles. -- Armadillo From Hell 06:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused -- you have one Raymand and the other Raymond - were ther both sipposed to be Raymond e.g. the exact same name? -- Armadillo From Hell 06:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, both are John Raymond Broadbent. The younger one died last Friday and it was that which prompted me to register and add him to the encyclopaeia. I am lost with all the symbols. Don

OK I've moved stuff around, and I hope I did it right.

John Raymond Broadbent is a page that shows that there are two different people, what you should do is go there and see What links here, some of those other articles should be changed to point at the correct guy if you could figure that out and make the changes

There are now two articles.


 * John Raymond Broadbent (1893)
 * John Raymond Broadbent (1914) -- Armadillo From Hell 07:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Paul Alfred Cullen
Hi, Don. I've moved the article you created to Paul Alfred Cullen per Naming conventions.

Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:


 * cite news : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use
 * cite web : for web pages. I normally use . If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
 * cite book : for books. I normally use.

Remember to wikify the articles you create by adding internal links, like this: xyz. Best, Cunard (talk) 08:18, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
