Some Tips

Hi clangers, I noticed from your contributions that your interested in editing articles related to the University of Birmingham, and have created two new articles : David Bailey (economist) & Regional Studies Association. Your doing a good job so far but there's a few things that will help your articles and contributions.

• Try to avoid inline external links in the body of the article, these should ideally be located at the bottom of the article and should be limited.
• Inline links should take the form of references & footnotes, such as the one at the end of this sentence.
• You can easily create these by typing <ref> Text to be displayed </ref>
• Your articles will be less likely to be deleted or challenged if the material is well referenced.
• You can use this tool to create more detailed references.
• Feel free to practice your referencing in the Sandbox.

Keep working on your articles, I'll help with the formatting wherever possible. If you have any questions or need help, you can leave me a message on my talk page. -- GateKeeper^(X) @ 01:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Regional Studies Association

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 Regional Studies Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Randykitty (talk) 16:19, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
