Speedy deletion nomination of Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird[edit]

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 Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. —C.Fred (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird[edit]

I have moved this article to your userspace so that you can work on it. It's located at User:Raymond37/Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird. ... discospinster _talk 21:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I don't know how to fix that article. I read the help pages & they were no help. Can someone please help me fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raymond37 (talk • contribs)

One other guideline you'll need to look at is WP:Reliable sources. You'll have to show that the website has received coverage in independent sources, like newspapers and magazines, that show it's a notable website. Right now, the article cites no independent sources. —C.Fred (talk) 21:39, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the people on www.phoebeallens.com own it, so, I think they are a reliable source. Raymond37 (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are a primary source. Notability can't be demonstrated only from primary sources; there must be coverage from other that the subject and its owners. —C.Fred (talk) 21:44, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I don't know what to put in the title form when citing a source. Please help!

For a newspaper article, the headline. For a book, the book's title. For websites it gets a little more tricky, but usually there's some kind of identifiable title. In short, whatever the source is called should be the title. If there's a specific source you're unsure about, please provide that source so others can take a look.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I was finishing creating a page and I wanted to know if I had cited the sources correctly. I also wanted to know how to make the page an actual Wikipedia page and know how to change the name of the page. The page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raymond37/Phoebe_Allen%27s_Hummingbird. I tried putting this same question on the teahouse and I got no answer. Raymond37 (talk) 00:12, 17 March 2014 (UTC) P.S. I removed my question from the teahouse. I think I didn't get an answer because it was at the bottom. Raymond37 (talk) 00:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have waited 45 minutes and no one has responded to my help. Raymond37 (talk) 01:00, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine to me. I'd make it a couple sentences longer, but it's fine as is. To make it an actual Wikipedia page, you have to move it into the main namespace from the move link in the dropdown next to the history link in the article's header. Feel free to ask me if yu have anymore questions! Kangaroopowah 01:29, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird Webcam[edit]

Hello, Raymond37,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird Webcam should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phoebe Allen's Hummingbird Webcam .

Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Staglit (talk) 23:43, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did sign them. ℜ@ƴмøηd 20:35, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

You did, but to be compliant with guidelines, a signature must include an internal link to your user page or user talk page. Your signature does not. See WP:SIGLINK for details. —C.Fred (talk) 22:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But I added a nickname. ℜ@ƴмøηd 23:23, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

There is not a link in the signature, though, and that's the violation of the guideline. —C.Fred (talk) 02:23, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
