Looks pretty good. I'm wondering, are the shoes from the merchandise section a product or Nashua?

I like that you have the weather on there. I have not seen that feature used before. I think you should move the weather section up near the top.

Great page, one thing you got to watch out for is when doubles show up in automated lists, just X out one of them. I found a double in your amazon list.

I like town/city pages and one of my suggestions would be to create multiple link sections for the different types of services the town has to offer, take the Paris pages as an example (but not a template) personalize the link sections to serve those looking for information about your town.

Simply find an article from a trusted source that mentions the news you are sharing. use "ref" tags and paste the URL of your article between them.

@jeffhoard good call on the citations. I can add one for that paragraph you mentioned. As for the others, they were there before I claimed the page, so it may be difficult to site them.

@interzone Yes I would like to have a featured video of them. The problem is all the official ones are blocked. I may be able to find an interview though.

I claimed this page ADHD (Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder) personally because I have ADHD, and I noticed facts that were wrong. Like it was posted that ADD and ADHD are the same thing but they are not. Yes they are quite close but ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) Does not have the hyper element that ADHD has. I have added a list of symptoms and a lot of other things, please check it out. I know my page will most likely not earn anything but I don’t care, I picked it because it is personal. Anyways just check my page out. tell me what cha think. (^_^)V

Nice page Mysterygirl. You have tons of information and links about the topic. The top 7 looks good. You would be a good manager for this page because like you said, you have personal experience with ADHD.

For Suggestion, you should try to include references when you post facts. I noticed you have lots of different facts, but only 1 reference at the bottom.

Last suggestion would be to not use caps lock when writing. In the symptoms, a disclaimer or and asterisk would be better than caps.

It would be interesting to know who wrote ADHD page. I'm wondering if it wasn't Darcy, who has it, and used to be an ADHD coach.

It's pretty vital to get the facts right on these sorts of page.

ADD is the wider term, as it includes cases with or without hyperactivity.

Glad you signed up to manage this page, Mysterygirl. As someone who has the condition, you should have a good grasp of where to get the best information on ADHD. I did notice, however, that the "Symptoms" section of the Guide Note seems to have been copied from another site.

Please keep in mind that Mahalo's goal is to include original content in our Guide Notes. However, if you're going to use material from another source, you must put it in quotes and leave us a citation so we know where you found it. You can cite a source by placing the URL of the site from which you retrieved the information. For example, http://library.thinkquest.org/03oct/00428/symptoms.html

You Mila Kunis page looks great, demanda. However, I have a few (very minor) suggestions. I noticed that you took soundboy's advice on adding to the timeline, which was an excellent suggestion. However, the last two links that you (I assume) added are a wee bit out of sync with the previous ones. To italicize the titles of books, movies, etc, you simply need to place two apostrophes '' (rather than quotation marks) on either side of the text you want to italicize. It looks like the italics on the title of ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall'' have not been closed, resulting in the last sentence of the Guide Note remaining in italics, rather than normal text.

Looks good, I think your adventure into the wonderful world of isms should be interesting. Right off the bad my plagiarism checker lit up over the guide note, remember if you copy and paste text to be sure to indicate quotes. Check out Copy and Pasting on Mahalo.

Otherwise, I think it has a lot of potential, I think a great list in the guide note would be "famous fascist leaders"

As a San Francisco Giants fan, I've been working on a Tim Lincecum page.

I wanted to display the most pertinent information up at the top of the page, so I made a table of his current and career statistics.

I added historical information, as well as past awards, and a featured item with links to Amazon for viewers to purchase the item if they're interested.

If people have additional suggestions, I'd be happy to hear what I can add.
