About 2 years ago I tried writing a page for wikipedia on the Veeder Root computer.
It was rejected and sent to the "SANDBOX"????
I am taking another stab at it, trying to refine it and I want to ask if anyone knows how to do this the right way or possibly some help?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,
I have never submitted anything to Wikipedia, but a friend of mine did and it was rejected several times. He was very knowledgeable on the subject, but didn't write well. Another friend who was good at writing edited it for him and it went through. He also had to add more references. Maybe you should have someone who is good with grammar/syntax, etc take a look at it for you. Not saying you don't write well, but a few mistakes in grammar or punctuation might have been the cause. It could be the lack of references too. I know you are an expert on the Veeder Root and would like to see you published there.
Good luck. John

I think some was due to what you are refering to
I know about the references....but
what references? there are none but pat #'s & Jack's Book & me.
And those were listed
Veeder Root has no archives
thanks
