Welcome

You tagged some lines in Islam just now. Actually those are all sourced to the citations that closest follow them, and there is agreement that that is the case on the talk page. Arrow740 10:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article needing citation

Hi, I just created a page on a quality control chart, XbarS chart. You have placed multiple banners in the page. I have removed the "categories required" banner and have categorized the page. For the banner, "article does not cite references", I don't know how to address. Because the content currently present in the page is from my knowledge as a quality analyst. When I didn't find a page for the Xbar-S chart, I felt I should start one and give a definition/intro. That is what the page currently talks of. Please comment.

Also, how do you "wikify" a page? Irfan (talk) 12:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation is needed since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All the information here is tertiary information, which means that it is merely a (Large) collection of information gathered elsewhere. Because of this, articles must contain some form of sources that establish its Verifiability. This verifiability is needed to make sure all information is correct, and presented somewhere where it can be found. While references are quite important, its most times not a reason to remove an article. If you don't have any references, just leave the tag around till other wikipedians come around with sources that verify what you day.

Wikifying is a semi-specialized process that creates a standard wikipedia layout conform to the Manual of Style. Just think of it as creating a nice standard layout for each and every article. Don't worry if you can't Wikify it, as the tag is mainly there to signal other wikipedians that this page needs to be wikified. There are people around who wikify articles often, and when they spot a tag, or see it in the "Articles that need wikifying" list, they will simply do so. You are of course free to do so yourself, but i always deemed the Manual a little bit to long to call this easy work. Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 15:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
