Italic title for ship article Grace Quan

Resolved

 – By Maproom. Lourdes

Hello, I wrote a new article Grace Quan about a reconstructed Chinese-American fishing junk, and successfuly italicized the title with Template:Italic title. Then, two other editors suggested (off Wikipedia) that I add a ship infobox. After doing so, I am no longer able to italicize the title without generating an infobox error message. Can anyone help, and explain what I am doing wrong? Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:21, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

 Done. I replaced the stuff above "{{Infobox ship image" by "{|{{Infobox ship begin |display title=ital}}", and then italicised the name within the infobox in the normal way. I don't understand why this worked, I just copied what I found in Mary Rose. Maproom (talk) 20:17, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, The theme song was written and composed by Dan Morocco, Lamar Van Sciver, Jaqcues Slade and Me, Frank Greenfield. Our names are in the credits each week and I have the actual contract if you need to see it. Thank you for your attention to this matter2602:306:8327:E220:9D4E:9583:7CB6:6381 (talk) 21:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

• Can you provide a reliable source, something like a newspaper article or similar high quality web link, which can confirm the same? Lourdes 01:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Sources don't have to be available on the web. But there's this article at TV Guide, which mentions all the names above. I'm not especially familiar with the guidelines for writing TV articles, but this looks legit to me. I guess I'll go add it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:29, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Edit Help and Re-Submission Verification

Resolved

 – By David Biddulph. Lourdes

HELP!

Please see:

https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Draft:Bradley_Young_(musician)&action=edit

This is a revision of an earlier draft, featuring changes recommended by a Wiki editor.

Though I saved this draft, I saw nothing that indicated whether this resubmission was indeed posted for re-review.

Could you please verify if it was posted for re-review and/or indicate to me how to resubmit it if necessary?

Also - I'm a total newbie, so any specific advice or suggestions you can provide which could help ensure publication of this entry would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

This is about Draft:Bradley Young (musician). I can find no reason to believe that it has been submitted for re-review.

The references all need citing correctly, so that they are linked to from within the article; please read Help:Referencing for beginners. Maproom (talk) 08:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

In this edit you removed the previous submission feedback (labelled "Do not remove this line!"). I have added it back, and you will see that it includes the resubmit button ready for when you have addressed the points raised. David Biddulph (talk) 09:18, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
