Bibliography

Wikipedia has a slick way to add a bibliography to the encyclopaedia article. Just add a section named references such as in this article Central Business District, Saskatoon. Now add the footnotes using these fill in templates for the citation being used, book, website, newspaper what have you. I was going to surf the net for Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra but couldn't help you out in this case, as your article seems to plagarize the Canadian Encyclopedia which is not allowed at wikipedia. Read this article copyright issues if you submitted this article also elsewhere online. Can you use the facts from other articles and sources and write the wikipedia article in your own prose and words, and then add footnotes from other sources to prove this notability that you have inferred in the article it would be awesome!!!!

Speedy deletion of Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra/Temp

A tag has been placed on Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra/Temp 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Channel ® 01:14, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra

Hello there I have added the copyright notice to User talk:198.169.119.202. I am glad you are re-starting the article without the copied content. I re-looked at the history, and it was User talk:198.169.119.202 who copied the content, and I have made sure that that anonymous user also has a note about procedure.

The best way to do the article is to start over again at Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra/Temp and let an admin remove the old content and make the new article with the newly created content. The copying of the content is dealt with properly according to wikipedia policy then.

I am very glad that you are re-starting the article!!! I will also try to help add some content as well to the SSO article so it can grow now. Good luck with your process on the article as well. SriMesh | talk 04:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
