User talk:Wendell moore

Welcome!

Hello, Wendell moore, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Noordgesig does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! McGeddon (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Dissertation
I see you created the article with a summary stating that "This is the introduction of my MA dissertation to be submitted in 2015". It's a great start for an article about Noordgesig, which Wikipedia was lacking, but Wikipedia isn't the place to publish your entire dissertation. By all means use your expertise and available sources to get the article up to the same level as those of other townships in the area - I've cut some of the dissertation-specific content, formatted the references, and added an "infobox" with a map and some details to the corner of the article.
