Welcome back

Regarding your message...

Great news! I see you are having a bit of trouble with your early stubs. Don't get discouraged. Try and put a little more text in up front, look at the style of other articles for forming an introduction, and tag the articles with {{stub}} (or one of its suboridnates). It takes a bit to get used to but it will work. Saw the stub you started on Pedophile Party. Remember seeing them in the news not too long ago. Good luck expanding out the article. If you need help with it just let me know and I'll try to point you along on getting references setup and the text expanded. --StuffOfInterest 21:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As for Pedophile Party, if they have been in a print publication, then you can cite that publication in a "References" section like so:

   ==References==
   Smith, John. Pedophile Party Pushes Controvercial Goals. The Weekly Midtown Newspaper. July 13, 2006

There's a more modern way to do this with a footnote-like facility as well, which you can find at WP:CITE.

If the source is an online source, you can simply cite it inline:

   The '''Pedophile Party''' is a controversial [[political party]] in the
    [[United Kingdom]].[http://some.link.example.com/where/you/saw/this/info.html]

That's all there is to it. -Harmil 16:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dorothyscarecrowtinmanlion

A tag has been placed on Dorothyscarecrowtinmanlion requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

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), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
