Glad you liked my changes to Analytic Philosophy! I'll try to do some more improvements. Do you have any particular pages which you think need to be worked on? Ollie Cromwell (talk) 14:04, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Can't find cited reference: can you fix?
Hi, I just saw your change to the Oxford University article this evening (diff) and I tried to retrieve the Daily Telegraph article you were paraphrasing, but I couldn't reach it from my browser. Since you were there less than an hour ago (so the page should still be in your browser history) could you check it and fix the citation please? Thanks! - Pointillist (talk) 21:06, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (transcribed from User talk:Pointillist) Thanks for the message about the Oxford University site. 'Fraid I can't help, though: I just changed the grammar and phrasing; the Telegraph article reference was there before, not from me.  SorryOllie Cromwell (talk) 15:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt reply. Might need to tone down the opinions if they are unsourced? - Pointillist (talk) 17:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I found the cited source at Should Oxford discriminate in favour of state school students?. It doesn't support the original text, or your edits. Will you fix it, or shall I? - Pointillist (talk) 08:47, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, it looks as though someone else has just editted it. Mea cuple a bit for not checking the source, but I was only trying to improve the grammar. Glad the source was checked, though.Ollie Cromwell (talk) 20:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Referencing
Hey. Regarding your changes to PPE - references are for citing sources, footnotes should be used if you wish to add further clarification to a point. I don't however, feel that the point made is particularly relevant to the article but perhaps more relevant to Milliband's own article? Have a look at WP:Handling trivia. I've also changed Official Opposition to Opposition, just becuase it's the more common variation. Cheers  - blake - 16:23, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
