==Thanks - A question for you: I've been trying to learn more about baking and find the Wikipedia sites lacking for baking, bread, and pastry - I'd like to see some collections to link to for schools that focus on bread and pastry, as well as the best books. I was trying to start this with this posting, but it doesn't seem like it will work. Any thoughts?==Philologia (talk) 23:04, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One way to introduce those links is to create articles on the schools. Then when there are more a new category could be created under the Category:Universities and colleges by type category like Category:Bread and Pastry schools similar to Category:Cooking schools. Hope this helps. A new name 2008 (talk) 00:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea. I'll try to make some time soon. Thank you!

March 2009[edit]

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to San Francisco Baking Institute, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. A new name 2008 (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

== Sorry about this - I'm just learning how to do this and will get better. I made a few minor edits, and added clarity in a few places, and didn't know how they would show up so I checked some as minor and others as not. I can see the error now.

Do you know how to make the outward link to the cheftalk article look right?== {{helpme}} Your question.Philologia (talk) 23:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 23:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A basic way of formatting references is like this: <ref>[http://url.com Title of page]</ref> There are reference templates to make them look prettier, but so long as you use the basic formatting it can always be fixed by another editor.

THANK YOU! I'll make some time soon.
