Speedy deletion nomination of Machinima archive

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Machinima archive requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

Machinima Archive

Hi Tom - Your assignment is not to create a Machinima archive on Wikipedia but to create an article about the Machinima Archive already available on the Internet Archive, if this falls within the Wikipedia notability guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability. --ToniSant (talk) 21:38, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Toni, this makes far more sense now with the link you just sent me. Cheers. Tomswainson --(talk) 23:31, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fellow Editor

I think I am getting the hang of talkpages.

Help

If you look on Sam Whites Sandbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Saoul91/sandbox at my section on Human Animal bonds I have a question. How do I get it so its referenced like the rest of the article... like I know how to reference but not in the style the rest of my group have referenced (with the little numbers within the text).--Liberum Conscientia (talk) 19:19, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

^[1] This is an example of a reference, you might have to click edit on this section of the talk page to see the code, but it's quite simple. Put in the full web address, leave a space and then title the reference. You can also use the cite drop down menu in the toolbar above the editing area. --Tomswainson (talk) 19:22, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ok just about understood. Another question. Is there a way to include both hyperlinks and references at the same time if so just include an example like your above message.--Liberum Conscientia (talk) 19:31, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
