If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Drmies (talk) 01:40, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Pictures

Fabdoull, maybe you can have a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Douala_bridge and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wouri_River . There may be some better images there than the ones that are in there. Oh, Liam was asking how they fish in the river. And there are two bridges? Can you tell us?

Lee Brian Schrager

Hi! Just a quick note since your draft is live: make sure that you're writing as neutrally as possible and that you're careful in how you phrase things. I'd avoid language like "most notable achievement" since that's kind of relative to the reader. What's notable to one will differ, after all. It's better to use a more basic statement like "He has founded/done/achieved/etc..." since that informs the reader without coming across like the article is making a definitive judgement on his actions. You may also choose to attribute the claims to the specific person or outlet making them. An example of this would be the Forbes claim. I've edited the lead paragraph to show how some of this content could be re-written.

Just be extremely careful about this and use caution when it comes to citing claims in general - you don't want the article to come across as non-neutral.

Also, I would recommend continuing to look for sources that focus specifically on Schrager as opposed to the festivals he founded. Those can be helpful, but we definitely want to make sure that we show that he's notable outside of these festivals.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

• Hi! It looks like your DYK nomination is lacking the sourcing to back up the hook. Make sure that you add this - and that the entirety of the hook is content that is in the article. (It doesn't have to be in the same words, but every claim should be in the article.) Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:44, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
• What Shalor says: please add the source--if you want all the points, and if you want to be a team player. Remember, the reviewer has to check the hook, for instance. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:35, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Needs better hook

Hi! It looks like it needs a better hook. Maybe something like these?

"...that Lee Brian Schrager created the Food Network South Beach Wine and Food Festival, which started as a one day wine tasting dinner and grew to a full five day festival?"New York Times, US News

"...that Lee Brian Schrager has co-written three cookbooks, the last of which contained "More than 50 Recipes for America's Best Fried Chicken and Sides"?Miami New Times

I'm probably showing a little of my Southern-ness that the fried chicken cookbook stood out to me the most. XD In any case, you can use either of these hooks if you want! I'm also going to ping Dr Aaij. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

• "...that one of Lee Brian Schrager's books "celebrates" more than 50 recipes for fried chicken?Miami New Times

• That's a good hook! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

WT:DYK#Prep 3: Fried chicken

Please see discussion on your DYK hook. Yoninah (talk) 15:13, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
