User talk:Dudekahedron

Welcome!

Hello, Dudekahedron, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like The First Greenlandic Coconut Disaster, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Fatima Sultan

A tag has been placed on Fatima Sultan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

References

It's good to see useful references being added, but please note the following points which are intended to be helpful for future edits.

The |month= and |day= parameters are deprecated (as are |coauthor= and |coauthors= too).
Where a reference repeats there is a very simple way to re-use a parameter without repeating all of the information within.
There's no need to mangle authors like |last=Corp.|first=Acme when |author=Acme Corp. will do the job.
Where a resource is non-English, note the language using the |language= parameter and add an English translation of the title using the |trans_title= parameter.

Hope that helps! -- 79.67.241.227 (talk) 07:05, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
