Re:citation

Sorry, but I'm not really the one to ask about that. I don't know much about it. You could try asking the help desk. ~Richmond96 t • c 02:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused

If I want to ADD an entry, do I hit Edit?

I'm looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Collins_(fantasy_writer) I did a search for missing articles, deleted articles, couldn't find the procedure.

I'm working on the third party sources now, I've got the books out, I've contacted the subject to double-check that the sources are correct, but in the space of an email the article has gone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Collins_(fantasy_writer)

External links

Please do not add links to your website, you have self identified a conflict of interest and your account is being used to link to festivale.info only, see WP:REFSPAM, which has not been identified as a reliable source. Continuing to insert links into articles may result in a block. If you wish to submit this link for inclusion in any articles please do so at the article talk pages. Cheers.

I am linking to the pages that I am citing. I had the discussion about Festivale being listed as a reliable source some time ago. It is peer reviewed and information has supporting documentation on file. I have no idea what you are talking about re: submitting at article talk pages.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ali Kayn (talk • contribs)

Since you have an interest in the site you should not be linking to it en mass like you have, you were engaging in reference spamming, continuing to do so could result in a block. You should submit the link to the talk page for consideration by independent editors. Rehevkor ✉ 15:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of My Country (1986 film) for deletion

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/My Country (1986 film) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

@Ali Kayn: in reply to your email, the article was changed into a redirect since that was the consensus reached at the discussion about it. The result was unanimous, but it would have likely been the same even if you had participated in it, assuming you presented the same arguments you presented on the article's Talk page and in the email you sent me. As for forwarding a copy of deleted material by default to contributors, that is not standard practice here. However, I should point out that nothing in this case was deleted. The entire article is still accessible right in the page's History. Owen× ☎ 10:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
