Help 2[edit]

User:TheLittleBlackBear/Draft <==== article

Yeah, citation needed. Your article need sources. --Tyw7 (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 19:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Okay, well, your article is missing references to reliable sources. Take a look at those links. --Mike moral ♪♫ 19:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict, so a 2nd reply)

Hi there!

Re. User:TheLittleBlackBear/Draft

The article should not yet be made live, because it needs references to reliable sources, to show the notability. Please read user:chzz/vrs.

You need to present facts supported by e.g. newspapers, books, etc.

How references work
Simple references[edit] These require two parts; a) Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref> b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}"; == References == {{reflist}} (an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections) To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:TheLittleBlackBear/reftest and try it out. Named references[edit] Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/> Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result. Citation templates[edit] You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation \| last = Smith \| first = John \| title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century \| publication-date = 2001 \| publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] \| page = 125 \| isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result. For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

It also needs to be more neutral; you should avoid things like e.g. "most famous as", "a prominent Historian" because these are opinions, not facts.

For more help, you can either;

Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz ► 19:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{help}} Thanks guys! :) I'm getting better at this already. I have some sources listed at the bottom, still have to do some rewriting. What's the command for importing pictures and how do i embed them in the article??

YOu might want to tidy up the source using the proper templates. Plus, it would be helpful to put the source next to the claims using the <ref> tags. See WP:REFERENCE and Wikipedia:Footnotes. To add images use the [[File:Example|thumb|caption (replace)]]. Everything in italics should be replaced with your reponse. For example the File:Example should be replaced with the image name. For more information see WP:IMAGE. Also, regarding the image, if you create the image it would be nice for you to upload it to Wikimedia Commons. It is also important to properly describe the image. --Tyw7 (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 20:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} I want to delete two articles I created because the names are wrong. Can you help me? how do I get this done

If you're the only one who's contributed to them, put {{db-g7}} on the pages. Alternatively, you can put in a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to have the articles moved to the appropriate names. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Dittobori)} 04:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} my photo for the wiki i made recently was just removed. it should not have been removed

im not an admin so i can not see why it was deleted, most likely because of copyright problems. If you were the uploader, someone should of told you why it was deleted. Soph ie 01:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

after reading the page history here it says "Removing "Free_advice_man.jpg", it has been deleted from Commons by Andrew c because: Does not allow for commercial use and/or derivative works: OTRS 2010050310001723 had non-commercial stipluation" Soph ie 01:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Jean Pierre Ady Fenyo[edit]

A tag has been placed on Jean Pierre Ady Fenyo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
