User talk:Salahaldin

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Salahaldin! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Thecurran (talk) 02:38, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

You're using the talk feature just fine. I agree with your deletion. Remember to sign your comments with four tildes: ~ Czolgolz (talk) 00:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

[copied from my talk page:] I don't understand your problem with the source: it's an essay first published in the Midwest Quarterly, which is a respectable academic journal, and then republished in Bloom's anthology of essays on the novel, an anthology which is far from being a "children's book." There is no need to impugn Winsboro himself. The source is fine. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 07:08, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Death of Joe Pullen
Hi Salahaldin. I noticed your Joe Pullen article was rejected again. Per your comments there I'll be taking a look and hopefully providing some more specific feedback. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Continuing to resubmit the article isn't going to get it accepted. I've left additional comments at the article.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 13:20, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * howdy - thanks; I didn't realize I'd ever re-submitted it! Perhaps it was re-submitted automatically (?) -- at any rate, I haven't thought about that entry in about 3-4 years; but if I decide to resurrect it, I'll use some good sources (of which there aren't many, but there's an important/well-respected book from about 2018 that discussed Pullen and his death).

A couple of notes on collaborating
Hi Salahaldin,

Good to see you've back at Joe Pullen. A couple more notes:


 * 1) If you're writing something directed to another editor, be sure to put four tildes at the end.  The system converts this to a signature+timestamp that's normalized to universal coordinated time.  This allows other editors to see who said what when.
 * 2) If you're responding to another editor, don't respond inline.  Rather, put your response after their remarks.  (USENET and email have different conventions, but here people are trained to scroll to the bottom and if they don't see anything there, they assume you haven't responded yet.)
 * 3) If all of the occasionally pompous people were kicked off of wikipedia we'd have to shutter the joint.  No worries.  That said, there's a strong convention against removing your own remarks, esp. when someone has replied to them.  It's no big deal here (and there's no need to restore the text you deleted), but in the future just go back and put the &lt;s&gt; ... &lt;/s&gt; tags around the text you want to strike, like this .  You'll be understood as disavowing that text but other editors can still get a sense of the surrounding conversation.

See what you can do with the notes I've taken. It's too bad some of the best stuff is self-published, but them's the breaks.

Best,

 * I hope we didn't run you off. Feel free to jump in and add or rewrite as the spirit moves you.  I don't think we can get this particular article up to featured status, but "good" status won't be much of a stretch.  In your draft  you had mentioned Pullen was a WWI vet.  Do you have a good cite for that?  I don't recall seeing it anywhere (except maybe the self-published book?) but it's quite possible I overlooked it.  Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Since you started the article, could you look at it now and see if it needs improvements (I'm sure it does). Thanks. LionMans Account (talk) 02:06, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Recent edit to East Carolina University

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

 * Thanks, I appreciate the fact that some folks are diligent about checking these issues; I'll look it up and and use a reliable source, if I decide to re-enter my change; thanks! seriously, I'm glad that Wiki has become much more reliable and professional over the years.
