Editing advice[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. PhilKnight (talk) 02:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the help WIKI is incredibly difficult to navigate and it a good thing it is. i have been very busy these past 7 years and too busy to worry about these things getting pulled from this page. i am trying to get the world to know about my famous father, Bobby Cameron. He was the 1949 NASCAR Super Modified champion. Big Bill France wrote him out of the history books. France hated him for statrting the first ever Union in NASCAR. roy cameron (talk) 15:38, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of NASCAR fatalities, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 21:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability[edit]

Adding references is how we ensure that content is correct. Without references, there is no presumption of accuracy. Please help make Wikipedia wp:verifiable. Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources. See Help:Citation Style 1 An example: Steve Jobs (1955-2006)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/1234 |title=Steve Jobs obituary |author= Walter Green |work= [[CNN]] |date= November 15, 2006 |accessdate= February 2016}}</ref> which generates: Steve Jobs (1955-2006)^[1] with the footnote automatically added to the References section ({{reflist}} needed). Remember, unsourced content may be removed. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 19:00, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other's talk pages[edit]

Please don't add large amounts of content, especially without comment, as you did to my talk page. It is nearly meaningless to me. I will copy it to a sandbox in your user page and remove it from my talk page. You can refer to it if you wish. I will move it here: user:Royrizzo/Bob Cameron

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (February 27)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

This draft has no independent reliable sources listed in reference form. Put the "Sources" into Wikipedia reference form. Provide more independent reliable sources. Expand draft. Should the name be Roy Cameron, ?Robert G. Cameron, Bobby Cameron, or Bobby Mack? (On acceptance, other names can be made into redirects.)

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Royrizzo/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

On the International Motorsports Hall of Fame page, your edit caused a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Adding references can be easy[edit]

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 20:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:Royrizzo/sandbox[edit]

Hello, Royrizzo. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. 1989 (talk) 00:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
