Project Collaboration – May 2008
Each month, the editor of the newsletter will select one article that he or she thinks needs a bit of work, or maintaining. This month, Thisisborin9 (the editor) chose the article "Pau Gasol." Don't forget to drop by the page and see what you can do.
Pau Gasol scored 36 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocked shots as the Lakers beat the Nuggets. Gasol, who was 0-12 in his prior playoffs, finally won a postseason game with the Lakers.
If you could look at it and see what more should be done, along with giving me some tips on how to note more than one reference from the same site, it'd be much appreciated. Gamloverks (talk) 21:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for the information! Gamloverks (talk) 19:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm pretty new, so any information is appreciated. So thanks for letting me know how I can improve on editing and such. ^_^ Gamloverks (talk) 20:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay I've retooled the headers, added the references, and improved the intro. Anything else you think should be improved? Gamloverks (talk) 20:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean copyedit? Gamloverks (talk) 01:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I thought I was still logged in. I did include some more stuff in personal and intro. And included more references. Gamloverks (talk) 01:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I have replaced the references that included wikipedia except for one, because I cannot find the site that lists the Memphis Grizzlies franchise records. Gamloverks (talk) 02:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you think it looks good enough now or should I add more information, because at this moment, it's looking pretty good and developed. I have asked User:The Placebo Effect about using wikipedia as a source. I have yet to hear back from him. Gamloverks (talk) 14:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm really working hard on it ^_^ There's still a lot of stuff I have to go find yet. Gamloverks (talk) 10:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I think my article is getting vandilized, the stuff I had that was referenced in the intro, was removed, can I request it to be blocked from users editing it or something so I can return it to the way I had it before people starting majorly changing it? Gamloverks (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Now all I have to do is get it to GA status ^_^ Gamloverks (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Not to mention I've managed to counter all the tags that were on the article. I've gotta get better at some stuff. Gamloverks (talk) 14:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for doing some cleanup, I'm busy with graduation stuff and haven't been able to do anything. Gamloverks (talk) 13:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I fixed the citations that we're not already fixed. Should I try again at a GA or keep working towards it? Gamloverks (talk) 17:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Let's hope I've done enough hard work on it to get it there! Gamloverks (talk) 00:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm pretty dedicated when it comes to stuff that I work on. I like to do the best I can. Gamloverks (talk) 21:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

hey you have some more manuel stuff i should know about —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malupa123 (talk • contribs) 22:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Must I use a citation-style reference? If so, is once sufficient?
Is there some other way to indicate the info source?
I'm not sure how to proceed and would appreciate your guidance. Meanwhile I'll add the relevant Stub templates to attract the attention of other editors who might help expand the content. -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 15:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
