I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Help requesst

{{helpme}} I would like to start a page for the Masters of the Universe character Megator and would like help getting started evn some help from other editors would be welcomed! Hordak1 (talk) 16:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.

The best thing to do would be, try and make the article in your own user space first. For example, User talk:Hordak1/sandbox - that will (currently) be a 'red link', because the page does not exist - but you can click on it, and make the page.

I suggest that you have a look in List of Masters of the Universe characters#1987 2, and look at the existing articles on other characters to get ideas.

You should also read WP:FIRST.

Best thing overall is to a) have a go (in that user sandbox page), and b) ask for help whenever you need it.

One of the most important things is to give references to reliable sources, such as newspapers, books, etc. I will add some help on referencing below.

Good luck with it all; For more help, you can either;

Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
Use another {{helpme}} here,; OR
Talk to us live, with this or this.

Best wishes, Chzz ► 16:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Megator Article

on my Megator article how do I add the info boxes on the right side & the big Megator heading/title? --Hordak1 (talk) 19:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will answer the question as asked on my talk page, in a few minutes. Chzz ► 19:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've answered it now; please see user talk:chzz#Thanks & more help! Chzz ► 19:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How references work

Simple references

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:Hordak1/reftest and try it out.

Named references

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

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.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Previous help

In casde you wonder where the help stuff has gone, it's in my archives - I moved it from my user talk, because it was getting ridiculously long (yet again). So, it's mostly in User_talk:Chzz/Archive_12 (or one of the others). Cheers, Chzz ► 04:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Megator

The article Megator has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not mentioned at ref 1, does not indicate encyclopedic notability

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

AfD nomination of Scare Glow

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Scare Glow. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scare Glow. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
