== Emerson ==


== ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message ==
Hello, Kirk! You're doing a great job on the [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]] article. One thing I should ask is regarding the Susan Cheever references. I don't consider the book a reliable source (it has been frequently criticized for its many errors) so if you see it used, feel free to replace it. If you need any help as you go along, feel free to ask me. --[[User:Midnightdreary|Midnightdreary]] ([[User talk:Midnightdreary|talk]]) 10:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey there. I'm not sure if this is how I should reply to you, I'm kind of new to Wikipedia. I was actually planning on replacing them today. I saw that there are only a few, and I'm going to replace them with references from Richardson. I'm doing some serious research on Emerson's life, and seeing the article prompted me to commit myself to improving it. I appreciate your kind words.

One thing I'd be curious is to know how much this article should contain. Obviously, it's more about his life than his works, but I'm not sure of the level of detail necessary. I'm basically going along and correcting or adding to what's there, but I'm hesitant about adding too much. In any case, I'm going to be reading a lot works by and about Emerson in the near future (all the current bios, and his journals and letters), so I'll be adding stuff as I come across it.--[[User:Kirkmc|Kirkmc]] ([[User talk:Kirkmc#top|talk]]) 11:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

:This is a perfect place to respond; I intended to check back. You're doing things exactly right so far. If you want some advice in bringing it to what we call "recognized quality" (as in [[WP:GA|good articles]] or [[WP:FA|featured articles]], I'd recommend looking at other examples of fellow Transcendentalists. [[Jones Very]] is listed as a good article (though it is slight compared to Emerson's story) and [[Margaret Fuller]] is a featured article. That should give you an idea of how much detail, how much to cite, etc. I'll continue keeping an eye on the page to see if I can help (though I'm not as active as I once was). --[[User:Midnightdreary|Midnightdreary]] ([[User talk:Midnightdreary|talk]]) 13:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips. I'll have a look at those articles. Do keep an eye on my changes, and let me know if you have any comments.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Radio On]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Sting]].
[[WP:USERNOCAT]] is part of a wikipedia guideline on categorization that Mainspace categories should not be included in articles in the User (or usertalk) space. My edit was to change those so as to not to "pollute"
*[[:Category:Backup software]]
*[[:Category:Web hosting]]
*[[:Category:Cloud storage]]
*[[:Category:File hosting for OS X]]
*[[:Category:File hosting for Windows]]
*[[:Category:Online backup services]]
As this is a guideline regarding the use of categories, I fully believe that changing pages in userspace is reasonable. See [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/Polluted_categories]] for the categories that I am working on removing the pollution.[[User:Naraht|Naraht]] ([[User talk:Naraht|talk]]) 14:47, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
