Looking for anyone with additional information on Jonah Kumalae, ukulele maker in the 1920s. Also, any feedback on how to upload photos, and general opinions of article layout.

- Pretty good. Have you read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (layout) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)? I can't see much wrong myself... minor comment - the section names should all be in lower case, except the very first letter and the first letter of proper nouns. i.e "Ukulele maker" not "Ukulele Maker".
- As a new user, you can't upload images to Wikipedia. I think you can upload them at commons though and then still use them here.

- I would also consider using an infobox - that way you'd be able to summarise all the key information about this guy and embed the picture directly in there as well. Take a look at Template:Infobox person. Chevymontecarlo 05:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- On the subject of additional information, you could try asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii. Yaris678 (talk) 19:04, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

- How do I imbed the image in the infobox? Does not seem to work. Is this because I am still too new of a user? NoOneGrandSon (talk)
This is my first article in Wikipedia about FutureSkills High School. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
- I have made some basic changes but is still needs more work. I think you need to learn more about how to cite sources in Wikipedia. Also, take a look at The Abbey School for an example of how you can structure an article on a school. Yaris678 (talk) 18:44, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- Please also consider adding an infobox to the article at the top, such as Template:Infobox school. Chevymontecarlo 04:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

- Make the language a lot more neutral. I am sure he was a great guy, but if you stick to the facts this will shine through. For example, you don't need to say he was a brilliant jurist or a gifted linguist. Yaris678 (talk) 18:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think you should also consider adding sections and perhaps an infobox to the article - try taking a look at Template:Infobox person or something like that. Chevymontecarlo 04:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia articles have a specific structure to them, specified in a guideline called Layout (Click on the link to see the details). --SPhilbrickT 17:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

This is a new page I have created. Everything has come from sources which I believe are reliable but I'd be interested in a review to check that all is OK! Thanks.

Nice article! Well-written, and I can see you've put a lot of work into it. The only thing I might suggest is a few more independent references to help in the notability and referencing areas to make sure the article is square with Wikipedia's guidelines on each. See wp:Reliable references and wp:GNG for more information about both subjects. Other than that, though, very well done! :) Pianotech (talk) 11:56, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Do you - Pianotech - or anyone else know how I go about getting the "unreviewed article" box at the top of the page? Thanks Juliet tree (talk) 01:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
does this article meet wiki standards for notable people
Nickbiddlenoe (talk) 12:21, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- I have edited your post, above, because the title was unhelpful and some of the text was hidden.
- In answer to your question, I think the article does meet the WP:Notability standards because it has several sources that seem to be independent. I notice that User:Christopher Connor is questioning the reliability of the sources. Can you think why this might be? I don't know anything about those sources myself. Are any of them from companies owned by Karem? Are any of them known for writing puff pieces about whoever pays them?
- To me, the biggest issue with the article is how it is written. It is too much like a like a résumé. Take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies).

Hi there. I just finished my first article--JD Barnett--and I am trying to do this well. I am looking for feedback. I used the Create Article Wizard, but must have been confused about one of the options, because I wanted feedback before it was published and not after. However, that having been said, I have added links, internal and external, as suggested, but would like to have the article reviewed. Can you help with the correct procedure to do this. Thanks so much

- Very good article! You've put a lot of work in it and it shows. It's well-referenced too, which is always good. You might want to consider an infobox as a finishing touch, but you've done very good work. :) Pianotech (talk) 15:33, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, a very good article. I made a couple of minor changes. You could ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History of Canada to see if anyone wants to give a hand. I don't know how active that WikiProject is but if you don't get any response, you could try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada. Yaris678 (talk) 19:14, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
I am posting this request 'on behalf' of a new Wikipedian, Kybihetz21 (talk · contribs), who wrote this via the AFC process.
I believe the subject to be notable, so I accepted the AFC, but the user explained they do not know how to format it; I hope that someone reading this will be able to improve the article directly, a little. Thanks,
