Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome!
By the way, I'm from PA too.WillMak050389 03:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Re: Alan Kaplinsky
editUnfortunately, I don't see a single (let alone the required multiple unrelated) indepth independent reference. A faculty listing (pli), a directory listing (martindale), and a press release (Inquirer) are insufficient references for a Biography of a Living Person (BLP). The Chambers cites don't show any biographic detail beyond "great lawyer". While his work seems first-rate, references about cases do not establish notability about him, as he is not their subject. There are no specific criteria for lawyers , so articles about them have a difficult time meeting subjective (and ever-changing) approval from reviewers (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria).
