Sigwells

Hi, Thanks for the message. I wasn't quite sure what you were referring to until I saw the messages above. I haven't used the articles for creation process (it didn't exist when I started on wikipedia) so I've only just found out what you meant by "Alpha Quadrant". There is no requirement to use this process and I think it is just to try to help new editors. I would suggest copying the work you have done so far to you own sandbox eg User:Sigwells/Sandbox/Sigwells and then you can work on it until you are ready to put it into "article space" - I would be happy to work with you on it to ensure that once it goes live it doesn't get deleted.

The reviews say it "doesn't provide specific context" I would suggest this could be overcome by giving a little more about the geography of the area and also a paragraph about Bronze and Iron Age settlements - the standard background paragraph used on Cadbury Castle, Somerset and lots of others could be added.

A few specifics:

• The title Sigwells should be bold in the first sentence.
• The external link to SCEP should be turned into a reference as external links shouldn't be in the prose section
• Bronze Age, Iron Age etc should be wikilinked on their first occurance
• Pitt Rivers should link to Augustus Pitt Rivers
• There are a few "peacock phrases" eg "most important", "outstanding" which need to be toned down or it needs to be made clear who thought it was "most important" etc
• There is a mechanism to handle the reuse of a reference (eg Tabor) without it having to appear in the list lots of times (see Wikipedia:Citation templates#Using the same footnote multiple times or I can help.

I hope these are helpful and I'm happy to work with you through wikipedia's sometimes complex processes.— Rod ^talk 09:01, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

? DYK for Sigwells

Hi again, You will have spotted your article has now been accepted by the AfC process and moved into "article space". I have moved it to Sigwells as there is no need for "Somerset, England" in the title as we don't have any other articles with Sigwells in the title & people are more likely to search for the single name rather than included the county etc.

Along with some other editors I have done some cleanup and added references etc. You might want to consider submitting the article at Template talk:Did you know with a short "hook". If accepted it would then appear on the front page of wikipedia for a few hours and help others to find it.— Rod ^talk 09:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
