Talk:William Walker (1836-1907)

Comments about the new page
An interested old-timer wonders about some aspects of this page. Its author may be able to teach the rest of us something (e.g. how to help newcomers), but there may be facilities within this site that would make the author's work distinctly easier. Please respond under each heading! Robin Patterson 09:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Standard model page?
Even the simplest of our recommended formats will save you time — in the typing of headings, if nothing else. Have you followed the "Create a page" link in the sidebar to find them? If so, what made you keep clear of them? Robin Patterson 09:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Infobox or info page
Some of the keenest contributors are keen supporters of the infobox system. Did you consider those and reject them or were you unaware that there were such systems? Robin Patterson 09:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Categories for birth and death years
We are nearly all keen on putting individuals into these categories, and it's terribly easy to do. Again — rejection or unawareness? Robin Patterson 09:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Numbered list with bullets and small Roman numerals
Conscious planning, or just not aware of how neatly the hash symbol produces numbered lists? Robin Patterson 09:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
