Some Navigation Help

Here's some more stuff in addition to the welcome section above:

Now, in regards to reliable sources, you can try reading WP:VERIFY and WP:IRS, which gives an idea what is considered a reliable source and what is not. If you still wonder if the source you have in mind is reliable or not after reading that, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

In case where people are reversing your edits, in order to avoid edit warring, you can discuss the matter on the article's talk page or sometimes going to the editor's talk page is fine. Normally, people will fill out an edit summary to explain why they reverse edits and such so you can look at the "view history" tab for that. If then an agreement cannot be reached after attempting to discuss the matter, you can submit a Wikipedia:Requests for comment or seek help from the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard.

Regarding tags, I guess you refer to cleanup tags like "this article needs additional citations..." and such (if not, correct me). Those kinds of tags can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup. You should read the introduction to that page before inserting them into an article though.

Thanks LlamaDude78. Also Why are websites sometimes allowed (not news websites or journalwebsites) but other times not allowed? what qualifies as a published website? Would work on helium or Triond count as published not self-published? Given it is checked by an editor and they are given some rights much like a book house is given some rights to a book?

I am not too familiar with using websites as reliable sources. However, I know that websites where the content is user submitted content are typically not considered reliable (like someone's blog). Hmm...unfortunately, I don't think Helium or Triond would count as a reliable source but you can always confirm with someone at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

The reason why your latest addition to Barbara Bush got reverted is because Biographies of living persons articles have stricter guidelines when adding content (you can read the info in the previous link for the guidelines). All content into a BLP article needs to have a inline citation at the time the information is added or it may be removed immediately, so the citation needed tag would not be sufficient enough even if you mean to add the citation in later.

Request For Comment

CheckUser requested

Speedy deletion nomination of Nicholas Burns (Civil Rights)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Nicholas Burns (Civil Rights) 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 person or group of people, 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BusterD (talk) 18:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken. While I did tag Nicholas Burns (Civil Rights), I have had nothing to do with tagging Michael Allison for speedy deletion. I looked at the page before it was tagged, clicked on the HP link, and seeing the significance of the subject didn't tag. If you'd have supplied similar sourcing on the Burns page (or context of any kind), I might have held back there as well. In the future, you would be well-advised to create pages in sandbox space instead of live pagespace to avoid negative attention from editors page reviewing in good faith. BusterD (talk) 19:27, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At the time I tagged the Burns page, the work consisted of a full name followed by a parenthetical "SPD". No sources, no content at all other than the three letter all cap parentheses. Please remember to sign your talk page comments using four tildes (~~~~). Good luck. BusterD (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
