Citing Sources

Would you like my assistance in learning how to cite sources? Alan.ca 14:38, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Please go ahead. I'd read so many record covers that it seemed the citations would be longer than the article itself; yet something needed to be said about the guy, here. John Warburton 14:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The best place to start is by reading wp:cite. If you'd like to pick an example article, of which you have sources, but are not sure how to include them, I would be willing to go through the process with you. Alan.ca 14:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The blog entries are probably fine for verification purposes, given the context. Besides, it's painful to think of the Mail as a reliable source - Tiswas^(t) 19:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of António Fragoso

A tag has been placed on António Fragoso 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 or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 21:09, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Havagesse.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Havagesse.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

• Ive written a fair few music articles in my time, so I guess I generally know where to look to find obscure information. I’ll add some references/sources and then it should be good to go. Dan arndt (talk) 23:34, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
