Development
I removed an external link from the Website development article added by User:Cfb123 that seemed to be spamming. This user might have been removed.

I've removed portions of my talk pages as I do not feel they are now appropriate.

Thanks, again for all of the support.

 * The Wikimedia Foundation is not interested in the content of Wikipedia articles! Remember that anything done to an article is done by other users like yourself. So, you look at the edit history and you can see that you should place your comments on the user talk page of RHaworth or FisherQueen. (But since I have got here first, you should now reply on this user_talk: page.) I have one simple question, what does your Website development article say which cannot be added more validly to web development? -- RHaworth 20:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!

I really appreciate the welcome and help.

I don't know if I necessarily have a problem merging Website development with Web development as long as it is appropriately structured. If done correctly, it seems Web application should be merged with Web application development as it would not exist without development. Both of these could then be merged with Web development. Web design could also be merged.

I'm just concerned that it could lead to obscurity if not done appropriately. On the surface, it reflects merging every article into a page title "Universe".

There are so many variables that lead me to conclude that specified combinations of articles should be worthy of their own title page.--Leviporter 23:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Helpme request
What can I do for you? --Sopoforic 00:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I am just concerned about the article I contributed not being cited and am worried about it getting it deleted. I have spent over 30 hours this weekend writing it and working my regular job as well. I could use some guidance as to how to appropriately cite my resource.

I ask for patience while I learn how to achieve this.

Thank You,

 * Well, the guidelines for how to cite are at WP:CITE, which should be more than enough information for anyone--too much really. We have lots of guidelines on what we think are the best ways of doing things, but you don't have to be perfect. You should try to follow the styles listed there, but as long as you have the relevant information--author, title, page number, or web address and access date--then someone else can always come along and fix up the formatting.


 * I'm more concerned about the content of the article. You referring to website development, right? I've got the same concern that RHaworth had. It seems like this would fit better in web development. I appreciate that you're concerned about it getting lost in a larger and more general article, but web development isn't so big right now that that'd be a problem--you should see Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a huge article with many sub-articles. I'd recommend spending your effort working what you've written--with appropriate citations, of course--into the web development article. It's true that we don't want the article getting too big, but it can be just as confusing to have two articles on what seem like similar topics. If the thing grows so big as to be a problem, we can worry about splitting it then.


 * If you need anything else, or if you want me to clarify something, please leave me a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Happy editing. --Sopoforic 00:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, take a look at web design. Perhaps that's more what you're trying to write? --Sopoforic 00:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
