Speedy deletion of Hilary Teague

A tag has been placed on Hilary Teague 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.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Fatal!ty ^(T☠LK) 09:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Hilary Teague

I have nominated Hilary Teague, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hilary Teague. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Sorry

Please ignore the two warnings above (feel free to remove them), the article is in fine shape. Though do go to the discussion and make your comments known. That editor has since been blocked for their actions. Happy editting. Aboutmovies (talk) 11:16, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that nomination was complete non-sense and has already been closed. But, talking of nominations... if you can expand the article a bit more, and perhaps improve the references, you could list Hilary Teague at here. Would be nice to see a Liberian politician on the main page. – Sadalmelik ☎ 12:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Citations and refences

Thanks for all your hard work on Liberia related articles. One way to make this easier is if you read WP:CITE. This way when you use the same source more than once, you only need to use <ref name=XXX/> instead of the full citation. For example:

Sample

Pelton grew up in Wichita, Kansas, where he graduated from Wichita North High School. His father worked as a laborer and later as a manager for a city department while his mother was a stay at home mother. In 1974, Pelton graduated from Wichita State University. There he earned a degree in English and psychology, while graduating magna cum laude with a focus in 19th century British literature. He earned a doctorate in English and American literature from Harvard University in 1984.

Pelton grew up in [[Wichita, Kansas]], where he graduated from [[Wichita North High School]].<ref name=statesman>Haynes, Dana. Willamette president feels at home here. ''[[Statesman Journal]]'', [[February 14]] [[1999]].</ref> His father worked as a laborer and later as a manager for a city department while his mother was a stay at home mother.<ref name=statesman/> In 1974, Pelton graduated from [[Wichita State University]].<ref name=nyt>[http://www.nytimes.com/ref/college/faculty/coll_pres_peltonbio.html College: Biography of M. Lee Pelton.] ''[[The New York Times]]''. Retrieved [[December 6]] [[2007]].</ref> There he earned a degree in English and psychology, while graduating [[magna cum laude]] with a focus in 19th century British literature.<ref name=nyt/> He earned a doctorate in English and American literature from Harvard University in 1984.<ref name=oregonian>Carter, Steve. The Monday Profile: M. Lee Pelton, Job: 22nd President of Willamette University. ''[[The Oregonian]]'', [[February 17]] [[2003]].</ref>

So the first time you use the source, simply name it with <ref name=name> followed by the normal info and end with a </ref>. Then for subsequent uses, it is only <ref name=name/> you need to add. The / though is very important. Hopefully this makes things easier for you. Happy editing. Aboutmovies (talk) 13:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
