Help
helpme Is there anything I need to do to get my article Bilton Banks published? Have I submitted it correctly? Thanks Girvind7 (talk) 13:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you want to write an article, all you need to do to is start writing it. I n k a 888  14:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Also you could start writing it in userspace and move it into article space when you are ready. I n k a 888  14:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I would add that you should have a read though WP:V and WP:N before you start writing a new article. The main reason that new articles are sent for deletion is lack of independent third party references that establish that the subject meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. - Ahunt (talk) 14:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I did ref. third party sources in the article. I just am not certain that I submitted the article correctly so that it would actually be reviewed. Instructions for submission were a bit confusing. How can you tell? It still shows up in my Contributions page but has gone no further that that as far as I can tell.

 * Ah yes I see it there at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bilton Banks, Northumberland. I had a look and it seems okay at present. I think your next step is to click at the top "If this submission is ready to be reviewed, click here and press Save page". That will get it formally reviewed and then it can go "live". - Ahunt (talk) 15:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I'll give it a try. Thanks! 88.97.20.121 (talk) 15:29, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * That looks like it worked, now someone will review it for you. - Ahunt (talk) 15:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought I had done that part already... obviously not! Girvind7 (talk) 16:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Girvind7 Hi. I believe that the claim made on the page for Newmains in Lanarkshire that:

'Newmains was initially built by Lord Belhaven in the 19th century to house the workers of the Coltness Ironworks. Built as a "dry" town, his clean-cut, sober workers were known as some of the most productive in the Glasgow Iron and Steel Company.'

... is erroneous. In his book The Coltness Iron Company (1948) J. L. Carvel gives the owner of the company as Henry Houldsworth who purchased the Coltness Estate from the trustees of Sir James Steuart Denham and whose descendants remained on the board well into the 20th century. The Glasgow Iron and Steel Company did not have anything to do with The Coltness Iron Company. How should I proceed? Thanks. Girvind7 (talk) 15:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Girvind. The way to go ahead is to fix it. Edit the page, fix what is wrong and reference the statement to the book. Would it get reverted, you discuss it on the page's talkpage. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
