Help me

{{help me}}I have some questions: my article has 2 notes at the top. The 2nd note says that I need references that are independent. But, I cited media articles, books, and court documents. Those are not associated with the subject. I don't understand what other kinds of references are needed. The 2nd note says that my article needs links to it. There are other Wikipedia pages that could link to my article. How do I change those other pages to link here? Or is there a Help article about that subject? Thank you very much. --Jeanne4ever r (talk) 22:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the referencing, see WP:PRIMARY. It is unusual for a Wikipedia article to cite so many court cases. Is there any published account of Robinson's life and work that summarises his achievements? That would be a more appropriate source for a Wikipedia article. For more on this I suggest you ask ukexpat (talk · contribs) who added the note to the article. A few of your cited web pages do not mention Robinson at all - for example, http://www.justice.gov/usao/or/ - and you need to dig out other evidence to support those statements.

To fix the "orphan" problem you need to find an article that mentions "Peter Robinson" or perhaps just "Robinson", in a context where you are sure that it talking about the right person. Then, edit the page and replace Peter Robinson with [[Peter Robinson (lawyer)|Peter Robinson]] - that's two square brackets, the name of the article, a "pipe" character, the text that you want the reader to see, and two more square brackets. That will display as Peter Robinson, a clickable link to the article. See Help:Links#Piped link for more on this.

Finally, when you next ask for help just copy the "help me" and its four curly brackets, and not the "code" and "nowiki" stuff surrounding these. You'll see that it displays as a big "I am asking for help" message. Many volunteer helpers look out for these messages and will be along to help. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean about the cites - they need to pertain to the subject of the article. I will work on that. Thanks for your help. --Jeanne4ever r (talk) 16:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC) {{help me}} I have provided links to this page, so it is no longer an orphan. Now how do I delete the tag at the top of the page that says the article is an orphan? Can I just delete the html? thank you. --Jeanne4ever r (talk) 18:20, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just remove that complete top line, which shows the orphan template (templates are always in braces). When in doubt, remove the line and try the "Show Preview" - you'll soon see if you have got it correct. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 18:44, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
