Baskin
Hi, Mary. Thanks for working on the Baskin page; it's good to see it finally being expanded. Be careful, though, because the tone and structure the article is taking on may raise eyebrows and attract unnecessary negative attention per the encyclopedia's WP:SPAM guidelines (see in particular the "Advertisements masquerading as articles" section). Please take a moment to read the quick guide Writing better articles. It'll save a lot of time in the long run if the expanded article is done well from the start. I'm not sure if you're expanding the article as a personal thing or on behalf of the University (if the latter, you should post up a small declaration of who you're working for on your userpage), but if you'd like any further guidance, drop me a line at my Talk page and I can contact you directly via Cruzmail. --Dynaflow  babble  02:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, again. Please don't use external links in the intro and avoid using them in the main body of the text unless they are being used as citations (see WP:CITE).  Using external links conflicts with Wikipedia's manual of style (see WP:MOS).  Thanks again for working on the page.   --Dynaflow   babble  23:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
