Welcome!

Hello, Photoculture, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Peter Ashworth, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

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 this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

How does X work?

{{helpme}} i am unsure what exactly you want me to do to ensure that the page i wrote does not get taken away, since already it has been decimated, and is now a threadbare portion of what was there. I understood the problem was concerning lack of sources, so i put up a set of links to articles about PETER ASHWORTH, but they have now been removed, so i guess that was NOT what was required by yourself. Is it a matter of proving that this person is a real person? Is it a matter of proving that he had photographed all the artists that i included in the list (which, coincidentally linked to their wikipedia pages when they were available) which i had thought, in themselves, would validate what was on this page? --Photoculture (talk) 09:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, the speedy deletion tag has been removed from the page so it's not in any immediate danger of being deleted. Regards, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 10:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit conflict)

All information must be verifiable - so it needs reliable sources.

The subject must be notable, and to do that, you need multiple independent references.

Please read through those links, and - if possible - add references to newspapers, magazine articles, books, news websites etc (not blogs, and not "primary sources" such as the persons own website). Smappy (talk) 10:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The links at the very top of this page list many of Wikipedia's important policies. The message directly below this one tells you why the links you added were removed. Reliable Sources are vital: they are third party, published articles and books - they may not include blogs. Blogspot, as a self-published "source" is obviously not a reliable source. If Time magazine said "so and so worked with person A", that's reliable. If a blog says it, it's not. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Peter Ashworth has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://pandemonia99.blogspot.com/, http://larapixie.blogspot.com/2009/11/basso-and-brooke-dorchester-collection.html (matching the regex rule \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
