[[File:Citaton-needed-vertical.svg|150px|right|link=Wikipedia:Citing sources]] |
|||
I noticed your submission in [[WP:AFC|Articles for creation]], '''[[Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rainbow Live in Munich]]'''. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon. |
|||
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is [[WP:V|verifiable]]. |
|||
[[File:Citing_sources_tutorial,_part_1.ogv|right|thumb|Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".]] |
|||
Here's an example of how to add references: |
|||
<div class="notice" style="background:#def; border:1px solid #468; padding:0.5em; margin:0.5em auto; background-color:#EBFFEB;">Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> |
|||
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "<nowiki>[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]"</nowiki>, Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref> |
|||
<nowiki>== References ==</nowiki> |
|||
<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki> |
|||
</div> |
|||
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers<sup>[{{colour|blue|1}}]</sup> which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can [[User:ChzzBot IV/Example page with references|see that example in action here]]. |
|||
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners]]. If you need any help, just put {{tn|helpme}} at the end of ''this'' page, followed by a question. |
|||

Soccer was dropped because it was not clearly stated as being about that in the body of the article. If it isn't in the article, it shouldn't and can't really be in the DYK.

*[[1990 FIFA World Cup]] was a soccer tournament. "Rome we komen" means "Rome we're coming". [http://www.sweetslyrics.com/858180.De%20Havenzangers%20-%20Rome%20We%20Komen.html The lyrics] say things like "we'll be world champion" and "we come for the cup of our dreams", and [http://www.destentor.nl/nieuws/algemeen/show/article9728360.ece this reference], cited in the article, calls it a "voetballied", "a soccer song". I've tweaked the article to include that. Does that help? [[Special:Contributions/66.168.247.159|66.168.247.159]] ([[User talk:66.168.247.159#top|talk]]) 19:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC) |

Anyway, I have no use for you. Jasper, perhaps you will do me a favor: you know I can't create articles, and Ducknish doesn't want to.

In regards to your comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADucknish&diff=485905475&oldid=485867636 here], I was referring to your type of edit (i.e. blanking content but with an explanation) when saying that it should have been reverted manually, rather than implying your edits should have been reverted. After re-reading my comment I can see why it may have come across that I meant your edits should have been reverted. Hope that clarifies it. Best.

*I thought so, Acalamari--I just hope this is clear to the other party. It's not something that is clear to a lot of editors who habitually revert IPs when they don't understand what's going on in an article. Those vandalism warnings are irritating.

== Never ever ever getting into a Taylor Swift article == |
|||
Hi there. I've been looking into the behaviour of all the editors with regards to this music article. I don't have an issue with your behaviour, though I do believe some of the terminology you used could have been better so as to diffuse rather than exacerbate the situation, I also think the actual problems lay elsewhere. If it's of any consolation, I see no evidence that you are in any way a sock puppet and I hope you don't take the accusation to heart. [[User:Worm That Turned|<span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'><font color='#000'>'''''Worm'''''</font></span>]]<sup>TT</sup>([[User Talk:Worm That Turned|<font color='#060'>talk</font>]]) 11:33, 30 August 2012 (UTC) |

*That section title suggests all kinds of juicy things to the imagination; Taylor Swift is delicious, and my image of her is safe since I've never heard her sing. I appreciate the note. I am indeed not a sock, and I wasn't really worried about that, except on Staretc.'s behalf. Worm, between you, me, and the lamppost, I take terrific offense to whippersnappers taking longterm editors off to ANI, it totally rubs me the wrong way. I have not much of an opinion on Star's behavior: I didn't count the Rs there, though I know Star has a short fuse. Anyway, it's a content issue for the talk page, that DR thread won't solve it.

|||
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems: |
|||
*'''Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating''' articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with. |
|||
*'''Be cautious about deletion discussions'''. Everyone is welcome to provide information about [[Wikipedia:Independent sources|independent sources]] in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|deletion discussions]], but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors. |

*'''Avoid linking''' to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see [[Wikipedia:Spam]]). |
|||
*'''Exercise great caution''' so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies. |

From this, and your 'user-talk', it seems you should change your focus from deleting content, to adding or improving content instead. While I do anticipate that you honestly believe that your 'contributions' are overall useful, the objective bystander would seem to be prone to eye your edits with trepidation. |
|||
And when you get right down to it... |
|||
''Anyone'' can delete or revert content. That's the easy stuff. |
|||
The REAL men are the ones that can add fresh new content, or make substantial improvements to existing content. |
|||
(Also, signup for a real account, and consider moving out of Prattville. I've been there. It's boring.) |

What were you thinking making that dumb-ass comment? And I don't live in Prattville. Try regular English next time, at a level you can handle, and try not to be a dick to people who obviously know better than you. Happy editing. 66.168.247.159 |

**Your overly defensive response does little to vindicate your case that you are competent in the ways of Wikipedia editing. In addition, you failed to negate the allegation that you are not suited for making deletions. I also feel compelled to indicate that if you believe my 'fancy words' are above the level of most people's understanding, then you are almost certainly a being of a lesser intelligence. Enjoy Prattsville. |

I'm very sorry you feel that way, but I think I do have knowledge on the topic. I studied English at [[SUNY Fredonia]] for eight years and earned a Bachelor's Degree in the field. I have written and published various short stories and a full-length novel. I know the rules of prose. Additionally, I'm not quite sure why you removed the phrase "...received production from..." either; that is correct English. It may not be flawless prose, but it is grammatically correct and a coherent thought. I would rather not embark on a [[WP:LAME|futile edit war]] over something like this, so I will leave your version intact. Next time, I would be willing to have a polite conversation about this, rather than engaging in mean-spirited dialogue. Thank you. --[[User:Thevampireashlee|Thevampireashlee]] ([[User talk:Thevampireashlee|talk]]) 21:55, 1 November 2012 (UTC) |

*Then stop introducing grammatically incorrect usage. I have a Ph.D. in English and I teach linguistics and advanced English grammar to upperclassmen and at a graduate level, so mine is bigger than yours. If you think "received production from" is decent English, then I suspect your novel is published by Lulu.com. Thank you for your message.

BTW, I couldn't verify the "sex" part, though it's clear (translations of song titles: Don't get married until you're forty, At night after two o'clock, etc.), but the soccer (Rome, we komen) and sailors (De klok van Arnemuiden) are self-evident.

— ChedZILLA 15:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)Hmmm ... looks like that little AfC "Gadget" thing works pretty well - even dropped you a note. Also looks as though you know your way around the place pretty well judging from the talk page here. (nope - not even gonna hazard a guess - I know better). Thanks for dropping by my talk, nice to get involved in a "good" project here. Not sure where you got the idea that I was "alright" - be careful about what you hear on "the street". Others seem to have a different view of my value here. :-). Anyway - if there's ever anything else I can help with - don't hesitate to ping me. — ChedZILLA 16:01, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- OH .. by the way - IIF there would ever be a "AfD" - PLEASE do ping me. Cheers.
- Thanks, but I'm sure no one would dare delete this guy. You're an admin anyway, and thus all-powerful. ;) 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:01, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
