Signing posts[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:46, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You've been told more than once that your signature needs a link in accordance with WP:SIGLINK. If you are using 4 tildes and not getting a link, I wonder whether you have erroneously ticked the "Treat the above as wiki markup" box in your preferences? --David Biddulph (talk) 16:55, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RedExplosiveswiki is apparently typing out their signature manually, David Biddulph. I have explained how to sign properly a couple of times at the Teahouse. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:24, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RedExplosiveswiki has confirmed that the box had been erroneously ticked, as I suspected. It has now been corrected & the signature now includes the links as required. - David Biddulph (talk) 18:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert MacDonnell[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Robert MacDonnell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --Animalparty!
