How to source Nemexia (game)

Hi Colonel.daniel, I saw your comment on my talk page and I responded there in lengthy detail. As I said there, Wikipedia has a lot of rules to follow so I hope this isn't too intimidating. The basic steps you have to take, though, are pretty simple. So here is an actionable step-by-step summary of the summary at my page without any of the "why" explained. For further explanation you can refer to the answer I gave on my talk page.

Steps required to source the "Nemexia (game)" article

Locate reliable sources - To do this you should use the custom Google search engines linked from this section of Wikipedia's video game guideline. Specifically you should use the "Reliable Sources for Video Games" link instead of the "Situational Sources for Video Games" link.
Sort through the reliable sources - What you are looking for are independent sources (so generally avoid press-releases) that cover the topic in significant depth. Generally there should be at least a paragraph on the topic. An almost-empty page devoted to the topic (such as the Gamestar.de webpages covering Nemexia) can't safeguard the article from deletion.
Add the reliable sources - You need to add a minimum of two reliable sources to demonstrate notability, but the more you can add the better because just two is perilously close to deletion. Adding the source is pretty simple. At the most basic level you just append the following to the end of the claim for which you are providing a source: "<ref>http://www.examplesource.com</ref>". Obviously you'd replace this example url with the url for the reliable source you've located. Full instructions on how to properly format references can be found at Help:Footnotes. You can ask me for help if you need any.

The tricky part of your particular sourcing project here is that the reliable sources are almost all in non-English languages. Do you speak Polish, German, or Japanese? If so you've already got an advantage here because I know that there are reliable sources in all three languages. If not, you may need help translating them. Fortunately a good list of translators is available at Wikipedia:Translators available. You can write to the editors listed there for help, and with any luck you will soon get a response.

Good luck, Colonel.daniel. If you need any further help you can write to my talk page. Oh and welcome to Wikipedia! -Thibbs (talk) 13:28, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
