Re Cozette

You're very welcome- thank you for joining Wikipedia! Your article will be suitable for Wikipedia if you can demonstrate (through references) that Cozette meets a notability guideline; the most basic is the General Notability Guideline, but proving a subject meets a more specialized notability guideline (like WP:COMPOSER) can also demonstrate notability. Music related notability guidelines are listed on this page. As for getting help, the New Contributor's Help page is useful for carrying out discussions about how to perform tasks related to editing and contributing to Wikipedia. The best way to get an answer quickly is by using the {{help me}} template right here, on your talk page.

To contact editors who may be interested in helping you, you can try a Wikiproject like you mentioned. To contact the editors of any page, be it an article or a wikiproject, click on the "discussion" tab next to the left of the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. Then click edit and leave a new message. While the Wikipedia:WikiProject Composers looks fairly active, you may not receive a response. In this case, you can ask for specific advice from a project participant by clicking on the participant's name, and clicking their "discussion" tab- I'm currently editing your discussion page (Discussion pages are more commonly called talk pages).

Before leaving a user a message, it may be helpful to check if the user is still an active participant by using Special:Contributions. Type their username in and hit submit; if their most recent contribution was in the last few days, they'll likely get back to you. Feel free to ask me any questions as well. Good luck!

Categories

{{help me}} How can I prevent references to my draft pages from appearing on the actual live Category page. For example, Women Composers is listed as a category under my Cynthia Cozette Lee article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lezahstar/Cynthia_Cozette_Lee-Draft The name User:Lezahstar/Cynthia Cozette Lee is appearing on the Women Composers page.Lezahstar (talk) 03:23, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

At the bottom of the article, there should be [[Category:African American music]] [[Category:African American musicians]] [[Category:Women composers]] [[Category:Women classical composers]] [[Category:Musicians from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:1953 births]] Removing these will remove the categories.  fetchcomms☛ 03:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Redirect

{{help me}} Help,I do not understand redirect. This is my understanding of redirect. 1.I created a main article page called Cynthia Cozette Lee. However, she is also known under the names Cynthia Cozette and just Cozette. 2.Now, I must redirect? I create 2 additional pages. The title of the 2nd page is Cynthia Cozette and the title of the 3rd page is Cozette. 3. On both the 2nd and 3rd pages, I insert the Redirect Code. That is the only code that appears on the page. 4. What do I use as the Target page name? Should it be Cynthia Cozette Lee? 5. What do I do with the Redirect pages when I want to move my article to go live? Do I move the 2nd and 3rd pages also along with the main article page? 6. Do I have to create a redirect page for every possible combination of names? For example, do I also have to create a 4th page entitled 'Lee', etc. Thank you, Editor, for your assistance Lezahstar (talk) 04:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

To create a redirect to your article, you only have to type the following code on the other pages (such as Cynthia Cozette and Cozette):

#REDIRECT [[Cynthia Cozette Lee]]

That is all that is necessary to create the redirect. Put that on any pages you think are appropriate. Regards. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 05:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Moved Article

{{help me}} I just moved my article called Cynthia Cozette Lee to mainspace. Please explain to me in detail how I can follow the article to see if it is accepted by the Editors to remain in mainspace. Or if it is selected to be deleted? Also, how can I know that a request was made to delete it? Where do I go to find out if the article was approved or deleted? And how long does it take to approve an article or request deletion of an article? Also, when do I begin to create redirect pages to the article and how do I do it? I believe I need 3 pages: 1.Cynthia Cozette 2.Cynthia Lee 3. Nazik Cynthia Cozette. Thank you. Lezahstar (talk) 20:59, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

If it is deleted someone will notify you here. Otherwise, it has been accepted as long as it is still live. To redirect, make a new page with ONLY:

#REDIRECT [[article to redirect to]]

{{help me}} I still do not understand how to edit a live article in mainspace. How do I make a new page? Is this a subpage of the Cynthia Cozette Lee article? In otherwards, What is the very first step I take to create a redirect, then what is the 2nd step, 3rd step, etc.? Thank you. Lezahstar (talk) 21:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Not a subpage, no. For example, Cynthia Cozette is a redlink, so if you typed in "Cynthia Cozette" in the search bar, it should say "You may create the page "Cynthia Cozette" above the results. So just click on that and add the above code, and save. To edit in mainspace, click the edit button at the top.  fetchcomms☛ 22:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

If you want to follow what goes on with any article, go to it and click the "Watch" tab at the top of the page. It will change to say "Unwatch", and thereafter whenever you click "My watchlist" you will be shown a list with the last change anyone has made to any page you are "watching". Remember that even if you started a page, you do not own it, others can and will edit it - see WP:OWN. If you disagree with a change someone has made, don't just revert it (which is liable to lead to an WP:EDIT WAR - discuss it with them on the article talk page and try to reach a WP:CONSENSUS. That's the way Wikipedia works. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I see nobody has given you a Welcome paragraph, which is a pity, because it has useful links, so here you are:

Discussion Page

{{help me}} Please explain to me how to add a discussion page to a live article in mainspace. Under my article, Cynthia Cozette Lee, the discussion page does not exist. I did not do anything when I created the article or moved the article to affect the discussion page. Thank you. Lezahstar (talk) 11:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. At the top of the page, you will see a "talk" or "discussion" tab. This page will not exist yet, so it will be a red link, but that is ok. If you click it, you will be given the option to start the page just like any other page. That is all you need to do to start the discussion page. Discussion pages do not exist until they are created, so it is not surprising that your new article does not have a talk page. Regards. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 11:40, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
