Jeremy Thurlow
HI Span. thanks for your comments and welcome. I wondered, what do I do to get the article I wrote about Jeremy Thurlow reviewed and (hopefully) approved? thanks, Lauriegf (talk) 22:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello.


 * When you use that will get any helper - which is why I'm here.


 * If you'd wanted to contact that specific person (who welcomed you, above), you'd need to add a message on their "User talk page", which is User talk:Spanglej.


 * The article Jeremy Thurlow is of course already live. There's really no 'approval' process as such. I suspect you were asking about the tag at the top, which said "This is a new unreviewed article"? I've had a look over the article, improved the references a bit, and tidied it up a little - and removed that tag. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 22:43, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Lauriegf, It looks like good work that you have done on the article. Congrats on that. I think this page on peer review will help. Have a read. It advises to add this to the top of your page and help should rock up shortly. For guideline pages such as manual of style points or formatting tips, if you type WP:…   into the search box (top of screen, right)  you will usually find what you are looking for. WP:manual of style, WP:peer review, WP:citations etc all do what they say on the tin and should take you where you want to go. Does that help? If not - let me know. All best wishes and happy editing.

OK thanks for this, Chzz and Span. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Lauriegf (talk) 22:58, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, great. Good luck. Drop a line, any time. Span (talk) 23:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Susan Sellers
Hi Lauriegf; I'm curious why you'd several times delete a sourced reference to Ms. Seller's age, yet leave the remainder of the article free of inline or reliable sources--the birth date appeared to be the only specifically referenced information. 76.248.149.98 (talk) 13:39, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

HI. Prof. Sellers asked me if I could remove the dob from the article, so that's why I took it out. There's lots of documentation of Sellers' writing and career at Univ. of St Andrews, so I'll try to get some referencing for the article. thanks, Laurie. Lauriegf (talk) 10:55, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
