Hello, the point was that the university article had almost nothing on this college. There was an AFD on the topic and people decided to merge the content into University of Georgia. So I suggest that you put a section into that article on this topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason you don't want to add content into the University of Georgia article? Some of what you have written looks to be a bit more general than just college of education. Anyway the way to get the discussion to change is have your draft ready, and then put a request at WP:DRV to overturn the previous discussion. If you get more independent references, and resubmit, then someone else may accept your draft too. You can also ignore the AFC process and take your own chance and move the draft yourself to University of Georgia College of Education. Someone may ask for it to be deleted. A discussion may then decide to keep the page. I will not make that request myself. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft for Eugene T. Simpson

Hi Libby, I wonder if you could guide me to producing better source material for Eugene Thamon Simpson, a modern composer and conductor who has performed around the world and is currently the curator for a special collection of Hall Johnson artifacts. I'm in correspondence with Dr. Simpson and he's provided me nearly 30 newspaper clippings and the like, but I don't know how to cite such materials on Wikipedia (properly). Can you advise? Thank you so much! Trumpet4christ (talk) 15:45, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trumpet4christ, I'll gladly help. The key thing to find your way around is the citing conventions. If you have reliable and neutral sources (it sounds as if you do if these are newspaper clippings, etc), then it is very easy to insert a valid reference into text. There is no requirement for such materials to be available online, provided they are acceptable and properly sourced. So, If you press edit on the page and then pull down the arrow beside Templates (lefthand side). This gives you a menu of possible sources – web, news, book, journal – choose the right one and then fill in as much information as you can. I've just done this on Eugene Thamon Simpson with reference 1 and it looks like this:[1]

The template does the hard work of formatting in the right way, but do fill in as many fields as possible. Also include a name for this reference in Ref Name (bottom left of pop up box) – you can ascribe any name you want – and once you've done that, you can reuse the same source in multiple places if it supports information. The reference will then show a b c and so forth next to it to indicate where it is a source, while the reference in the text will just have one number 1, 2, 3 and so on.

One word of warning, you may have to rewrite in places in order to ensure copy and sources match up – I now always start with the sources and construct the article around them. This can be frustrating if there's information you know to be true, but can't prove, but Wikipedia is always a work in progress and it's better to start small with an impeccably sourced article and then build upon it, even if it takes a bit of time. Hope that helps and do let me know if you need further help. I'm also posting this on your talk page so you have it to refer to more easily. Libby norman (talk) 17:35, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
