References

Hi. If you're going to add references that consist solely of URLs, as you did in Aaron Swartz, please do not bracket [] them as <ref>[http://foo.bar]</ref>, as they just show up as [1] links. Instead, please write htem as <ref>http://foo.bar</ref> so that the URL is visible. Best, of course, would to use something like {{cite web}} but I realize that may be unreasonably burdensome. Thanks. Incidentally, I don't think that you were correct to remove the Youtube link. For one thing, the source you provided doesn't include it. For another, despite WP:PRIMARY, some random news account is not always superior to the raw facts, especially as news is developing. I haven't reverted your change, but upon reflection I think I probably ought to.... Thank you! jhawkinson (talk) 09:34, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics

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 Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics 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 an organization or company, 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.
