Re:citation

Sorry, but I'm not really the one to ask about that. I don't know much about it. You could try asking the help desk. ~Richmond96 t • c 02:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm confused

If I want to ADD an entry, do I hit Edit?

I'm looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Collins_(fantasy_writer) I did a search for missing articles, deleted articles, couldn't find the procedure.

I'm working on the third party sources now, I've got the books out, I've contacted the subject to double-check that the sources are correct, but in the space of an email the article has gone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Collins_(fantasy_writer)

Please see Your first article.

1. Ensure that you have an account and you are logged in. If you don't have an account, create one
2. Make sure the subject is notable enough to have their own article
3. Find references
4. Make sure no article on the subject exists under a different title by typing the subject into the search box to the left (←) and clicking 'Search'
5. Type the page name in the search box to the left (←) and click 'Go'
6. Click 'Create this page'
7. Create the article, including all your references, making sure you adhere to the Manual of Style and our article layout guidelines
8. Be aware that Wikipedia deletes thousands of new articles for failing to adhere to our policies and guidelines. New articles by new users are at extra risk of deletion, due to new users' unfamiliarity with our rules. Consider gaining experience by editing existing articles before attempting to create new ones.

I am linking to the pages that I am citing. I had the discussion about Festivale being listed as a reliable source some time ago. It is peer reviewed and information has supporting documentation on file. I have no idea what you are talking about re: submitting at article talk pages.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ali Kayn (talk • contribs)

Since you have an interest in the site you should not be linking to it en mass like you have, you were engaging in reference spamming, continuing to do so could result in a block. You should submit the link to the talk page for consideration by independent editors. Rehevkor ✉ 15:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
