Greetings! Just letting you know, the April 2014 backlog drive has commenced! It's the 1st! May Day! May Day - ain't for another month. ( talk) 02:51, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:MDB. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:MDB redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Steel1943 ( talk) 20:44, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello Benzband, How are you?
I would like to add something to Rudy Buttignol's "Career" section about "governance". I thank you in advance for any help. I feel a bit overwhelmed about how to insert the following information. I have noticed some articles by Rudy Buttignol and a lecture on youtube related to governance and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). These are as follows:
1) an article by Rudy Buttignol related to "Public Policy" and "Governance" at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in The Literary Review of Canada. Blood in the Water. Weak political support and dependence on advertising leave the national broadcaster at serious risk. http://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2013/07/blood-in-the-water/
2) 2014 Spry Lecture: Occupy Public Broadcasting: alt. futures for the CBC Simon Fraser University in British Columbia related to the Literary Review of Canada article http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYQwu5QGIqs)
3) an on-line Globe & Mail Article by Rudy Buttignol: The CBC has a Governance Problem http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/television/six-canadians-share-their-thoughts-on-how-to-remake-the-cbc/article17930097/
4) NJN Network (they also picked up the on line Globe and Mail article The CBC has a governance problem.) http://njnnetwork.com/2014/04/cbc-needs-new-chief-executive/#more-89322
Below is Rudy Buttignol's Career Section and I've made changes in CAPS. I have added "AND GOVERNANCE" in caps so that you can spot it. I need to add the refs (1-4) above but need your help as I don't know how. Or would they better work as "External Links"?
Then I created a new sentence to follow "HE IS ALSO ACCREDITED" .... the first part in caps so that you can spot it.
Career[edit] Buttignol's career spans more than four decades. At the beginning of his career, he worked as an independent producer, director, writer and editor of documentary and children's programs, and later as a commissioning editor, television programmer, and broadcast executive.[6][7][8] He has been called "Canadian broadcasting and documentary guru"[9][10] and "friend of the auteur in Canada and abroad".[11] Buttignol is acknowledged for his roles developing Canadian cultural policy related to documentary film funding, broadcasting[12] AND GOVERNANCE (ADD REFS). HE IS ALSO ACCREDITED FOR advancing the creative documentary genre in Canada [13] and on the world stage.[14] Rudy Buttignol originated the idea behind the 2014 television series Emergency Room: Life and Death at VGH. He stressed the distinction between the genre of the series, which is a documentary, and that of reality-based entertainment.[15]
In summary, I need help with inserting either refs or external links for the above 4 pieces of information into Rudy Buttignol's "Career" section.

Looking ahead: A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing.

Motto of the Day ( WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “ This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
