Tip of the day...

Wikipedia's alphabetical index of articles

Sometimes it is useful to look up a topic in the same way you would look it up in a paper book‍—‌using an index. Perhaps you are unsure of the precise name of what you are looking for, or maybe you are interested in a word root which has many applications, such as "self-". Or maybe you would just like to browse the index.

Wikipedia has an index of all of its articles. Here are 3 ways of accessing it:

1. A–Z index
2. Special:AllPages
3. Special:Prefixindex

You can place these links on your user page or talk page (or both) for convenient access.

Ways to improve Duane Miller

Hi, I'm Meatsgains. Kevingmcgrath, thanks for creating Duane Miller!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Consider providing reliable sources to strengthen the page's verifiability. Also, it is far too promotional.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Citations added

Thanks Meatsgains. I added citations to the new page and removed the message about that.

As far as the POV, I wonder if we've helped address that too. I removed some of the language that may have made it sound promotional.

Patrick F. Burke

Nice start on Patrick F. Burke. I added a few more links and changed some wording. I also moved the references right up to the end of the period. As well, several paragraphs remain unsourced. You may want to add more categories, and also more specific categories. As well, the paragraphs could be moved and a few section headings added such as "football career", "post football", "personal"...or something like that. Finally, an infobox would be great. Cheers!
