Clapham college
Thanx for your message! When I first viewed the article, it looked like a 'signature' piece from a well know vandal - my applogies. I have tried to clean the article up a bit, will help you out a bit in the next day. If you have any more sources/information, and need help placing them, then place them on the discussion page and I will clean up/insert. If you have any questions, then give me message.

 * Have you read this? Interesting background! - Trident13 01:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes! Try to build up a total picture, so that if someone who was educated to a basic level (ie - post secondary/high school) could pick up the article, read it and have an all rounded encyclopedic/educated level of knowledge on the subject. You will read some articles around here that look more like fan-based adulation - they will be tagged with clean-up - but generally what you are looking to create is a neutral/non-emotional/fact based piece. That's hard to do with some subjects - pick a political or sexual subject for instance, and quite often its difficult to find a neutral position, let alone one which everyone can agree with! The subject here is linked to the Catholic Church - lots of interesting views on that. The best articles link to other external sources, mainly journalistic articles, newspapers, etc; to back up and validate what is written. You have a book quote/reference, so I have added that as a reference. No one can tell you how to write here - you will find you develop a style that works. I can also show you how to create personal stub pages, that will allow you to write up a good article in private before it is published - saves vandal chasers like me seeing things that we need to judge quickly to avoid lots of rubbish here! A stub means you can write in your own time/pace and create something which needs little work once it is published. I use them to collect information on articles that I find interesting, but have no time at present to complete - see my User Page, just above completed articles. What you will find is that, what ever you think is neutral, others may disagree with or have extended views on - its just one of those things in life, amplified here due to the mono-tonal verbiage of text chat. Don't try therefore to aim for perfection, as the system encourages others to add to your input and build that complete picture. If you like writing, education, research, history - and the odd debate: then this is a fun place! Rgds, - Ian McAllister 01:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I have added the welcome tag to the top of your discussion page. You will find useful information about how use wiki. If you have any questions, come back to me. Rgds, - Trident13 01:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I have finished polishing your article Clapham College today. Can you please give it a check over to make sure it's right. I have removed all tags now, but added two stubs notices (catholic/london schools) which will attract other editors interested in those areas to add information to the article. I suggest you select the edit this page tab at the top of the article and have a look how some of the written text effect is created by some simple textual coding - look for { and [ type brackets, which add most effects on wiki: no need to understand anything as complex as HTML! I will keep watching the page for the next few days/edits, but if you have any questions, please leave me a message. Rgds, - Trident13 14:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
