Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 08:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Unichal) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it gives the impression that you're editing on behalf of a group or organisation, whereas you username should only represent you as an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 18:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Article

[edit]

Hi - if you want to see an article about Unichal, I suggest you write a draft in your userspace - e.g. if you become Stottle00, then make a page at User:Stottle00/Unichal. Make it as good as you can, and make sure you have suitable sources - WP:RS. Don't add categories yet, but list them in plain text at the bottom.

If it meets Wikipedia standards it can be moved or copied to article space later. I'm probably not the best person to advise, but you could ask advice somewhere on the community portal when you get to that stage.

The biggest challenge is usually finding sources - e.g. articles in mainstream media about the product. Good luck. --Chriswaterguy talk 02:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'm new to Wikipedia, so I am very nervous out screwing something up! I found some broken links, and if you want to fix them, go for it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Language_Initiative

3 of 5 links/sources (all from the State Department's website) at the bottom of the page are broken:

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2006/58733.htm http://exchanges.state.gov/NSLI/ http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2006/58733.htm

Is the protocol to simply delete the links, or try to find the page archived somewhere, or find a new source altogether? Please advise.

--Unichal (talk) 00:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding those! I'm not exactly sure - I'm guessing delete, if it's in the external links section, and probably deserves more work if it's a reference within the article. But I've learnt one useful thing - you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page like I've done at the top of this section and a helpful person will answer your question. --Chriswaterguy talk 11:30, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It can be tricky, sometimes - if a link is used as a reference, we certainly don't want to delete it. There are a few ways to handle this - you can read all about it at Wikipedia:Link rot. In the meantime, I've fixed the links at National Security Language Initiative. :-) Hope that helps. Avicennasis @ 12:25, 21 Sivan 5771 / 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Maybe these links were archived by the WayBack Machine. (check the article for more information and a link to it!) mabdul 12:37, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
