It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Hi thanks for those links they are helpful, but I've tried to get as many articles to backup our page as I can. Admittedly there is one from facebook but it's the only place where the charity has posted about us, aside for other sites about it's existence. Put simply they don't have a blog page with which I can use.

Basically what I'm saying is I'm out of references, if you could help me out a little more by being specific with what phrase/sentance/reference it is that is causing problems then it would help me find the problem.

Again would some information about our T.V campaign help our case?

Thanks for your help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/One_Call_Insurance

Regards Richard Housham

Apologies, my abilities with wiki are lacking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhousham (talk • contribs) 17:23, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and first sorry for my slow response.

There aren't really any problem with the reflinks that you have right now, but they all have the same kind of information. I Understand that you aren't able to find any more reference's so maybe some at Wikipedia:Teahouse can help you. (link also on your talkpage) May I ask what your TV campaign is about, Is it just to promote you or is it something else ? Redalert2fan (talk) 16:42, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reviewing our page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/One_Call_Insurance I've tried to look for more links about our site and making it more notable, do you have any hints about finding said links? I'm having some real trouble trying to find such information. We are a decent sized company with over 400 members of staff and I'm having difficulty finding evidence making us notable. We have had a few adverts on the T.V would these help our case? Thanks Richard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhousham (talk • contribs) 09:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Has your company ever been on the (big) news ? Companies that have won and award are usually pretty notable. or are you doing a big project for another big company/organization (military) etc.? Tv ads aren't really for any use because they aren't promotional and that isn't allowed, though I can see that you aren't really trying to promote but rather making a "true" page What I would say is that you should read Wikipedia:NPOV but especially WP:COMPANY also, You might want to search for some other insurance companies here on wikipedia (the really big one's) and see if they have a page on here and look at the structure of the page, and the "reflinks" and sort of copy the general layout and see where their links lead to like the BBC or a big business magazine. I hope this helps and feel free to ask any more questions or say it if you don't understand something. - Robbie. Redalert2fan (talk) 15:45, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, that's kinda helpful. To be honest I guess we haven't really done anything that's outstandingly notable. We are a big employee but I guess there are a few that are. I've added on a snippet about our chairman is also the chairman of mansfield town fc, and the stadium is named after us. Does this help? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/One_Call_Insurance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhousham (talk • contribs) 14:22, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Did you know?

VisualEditor's toolbar has a new drop-down menu that contains all character formatting: bold, italics, subscript, superscript, strikethrough, computer code, underline, and the ability to remove all formatting from text.

For more information about how to use VisualEditor, read the user guide.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some toolbar improvements, fixing bugs, and improving support for Indic languages as well as other languages with complex characters. The current focus is on improving the reference dialog and expanding the new character inserter tool.

There have been dozens of changes since the last newsletter. Here are some of the highlights:

• Rich copying and pasting is now available. If you copy text from another website, then character formatting and some other HTML attributes are preserved. This means, for example, that if you copy a pre-formatted suggested citation from a source like this, then VisualEditor will preserve the formatting of the title in the citation. Keep in mind that copying the formatting may include formatting that you don't want (like section headings). If you want to paste plain, unformatted text onto a page, then use Control+⇧ Shift+V or ⌘ Command+⇧ Shift+V (Mac).
• Auto-numbered external links like can now be edited just like any other link. However, they cannot be created in VisualEditor easily.
• Several changes to the toolbar and dialogs have been made, and more are on the way. The toolbar has been simplified with a new drop-down text styles menu and an "insert" menu. Your feedback on the toolbar is wanted here. The transclusion/template dialog has been simplified. If you have enabled mathematical formula editing, then the menu item is now called the formula editor instead of LaTeX.
• There is a new character inserter, which you can find in the new "insert" menu, with a capital Omega ("Ω"). It's a very basic set of characters. Your feedback on the character inserter is wanted here.
• Saving the page should seem faster by several seconds now.
• It is now possible to access VisualEditor by manually editing the URL, even if you are not logged in or have not opted in to VisualEditor normally.  To do so, append ?veaction=edit to the end of the page name.  For example, change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?veaction=edit to open a random page in VisualEditor.  This is intended to support bug testing across multiple browsers, without requiring editors to login repeatedly.

Looking ahead: The transclusion dialog will see further changes in the coming weeks, with a simple mode for single templates and an advanced mode for more complex transclusions. The new character formatting menu on the toolbar will get an arrow to show that it is a drop-down menu. The reference dialog will be improved, and the Reference item will become a button in the main toolbar, rather than an item in the Insert menu.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi added some text in that chat that we had/. Have you had chance to read it? Thanks for your help. Richard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhousham (talk • contribs) 16:22, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Oops totally missed your last message, but you are going the right way! If you want more help you should ask for help at WP:teahouse they are there 24/7 to help you and know almost everything ;) Redalert2fan (talk) 17:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
