AfC notification: Draft:U.S. Coast Guard History and Heritage Sites has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:U.S. Coast Guard History and Heritage Sites. Thanks! DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:30, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice, I can work with that. A question though, I found several Wikipedia Sites that I can substitute, one of them has in-line external links too?????
Also after I make the updates then what, is there a resubmit button?
HnHCDR (talk) 22:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
It doesn't matter if other articles have the same errors (inline links). That doesn't mean you should create more such errors; it means someone should go through those other articles and correct them as well.
The resubmit button only appears once the draft has been reviewed and declined. So far it hasn't been reviewed yet (I've only commented on it).

@DoubleGrazing Would you mind taking another look, I began to make the updates from your comments but did not want to get to far down the wrong path. I fixed the easy ones like external links, etc. I began fixing the inline external links in the tables. Please examine Atlantic>New England, I have updated the first three, 1. Amagansett, 2. Amesbury, and 3. Barnstable. For 1 and 2 I removed the external link but did not convert to a citation because the modern name and the historical names are so similar. For 3. I did convert the external link to a citation to show proof that the Barnstable Custom House is now the Coast Guard Heritage Museum. Thanks again for the assistance.

@DoubleGrazing, thanks for the help, I guess it is waiting time now until someone reviews the draft. HnHCDR (talk) 10:38, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, not much to do but wait. List articles are a bit of a specialty, which I try to steer clear of, that's why I won't be reviewing this myself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:42, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cool thanks. HnHCDR (talk) 10:44, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About your editing...[edit]

Hi, I see you've jumped right into editing, you are trying different ways to contribute, and that's great. You're not going to learn everything about editing here in one day, it takes time, and I'm glad to see your reaching out to venues like the Teahouse for guidance. There are a couple of things, however, that I would like to address with you now.

I've noted that for some reason you have been forcing the Table of Contents to the very top of the article, above everything else. (eg: [1]) I'm not sue why you're doing that but I'm asking you to stop. It's just not done. While it's mostly just weird, in some cases the page looks awful. That's leads me to a question I have: are you checking your changes via WP:PREVIEW, before saving, and again after saving, before leaving the page? Because in some cases the page is in an unsuitable condition. (eg: [2][3]) Taking a quick, but careful look through the page top to bottom can often show when a correction is needed.

Anyway, I don't want to drag this out much more, so I'll ask one more thing; can you stop placing images, enlarged and centered, down below the External links section? (eg: [4]) I have no idea why you're doing that, but again, it's just not done. There is also really no need to upsize images, and try blocking them together mid-page (eg: [5] - which plays havoc with smartphone screens). If you could follow the established usage for images, that would be appreciated. And that's it for now. Just check your edits before saving and them leaving, and keep making use of the Treehouse (and the Help Desk), and you'll get the hang of things soon enough. Have a nice day - wolf 09:02, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
