Requesting edits
[edit]Hello, and thank you for your input at Talk:Kerry and Kay Danes. From what I understand, you've contacted Wikimedia or WP:OTRS regarding the content of the article. I welcome your further input for the article's development, as its content was dramatically reduced for very good reasons. If I may, I'll urge you to consider the following as you post on the talk page:
- Request that an OTRS volunteer confirm your identity on Talk:Kerry and Kay Danes for reference in edit requests.
- Boil your comments down to one or two specific requests for editorial action.
- Give an example of reliable third party coverage, Wikipedia policy (such as WP:WEIGHT or WP:IRS), or discussion from somewhere like WP:RSN or WP:BLPN that indicates a consensus to support your request.
- Start your posts as requests with the following markup, in order to gain more administrator attention:
{{Request edit}} ::*The article wrongly states.../The article omits... ::*The article should state... ::*Please see: [http:www.reference.url.example.co.au/news/html.html Example name] ::Thank you. ~~~~
- Avoid making very long posts. They are difficult in that they may attract a response or two, but may seem impenetrable, preventing a robust discussion.
- Avoid citing to laws and the like, or otherwise making your case on talk pages. Doing so will bias some capable uninvolved editors against you. Descriptions such as "illegal" and "torture" must be present in published sources, without the need for readers or editors to apply laws or descriptions for themselves. Your case has been, and continues to be, made for you among plenty of reliable secondary sources unaffiliated with you. None are perfect, but you'll have to rely on them. Your own claims, made in reputable publishers, is worth some weight when it comes to characterizations, though only through neutral language.
I hope this isn't overwhelming; I've linked several important policies and guidelines. I hope to help you improve your experience here. Please let me know if I can explain anything further. Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 01:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
