Your submission at Articles for creation

edit
 

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mikaela Turik. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

In response to your feedback

Glad you're happy and welcome to Wikipedia!

Looking at your article and thinking of your user name; I suggest you read the 'conflict of interest' WP:COI page and put a disclosure or disclaimer on the article talk page.

Thank you for your constructive feed-back. I am a "newbie" but am also struggling a bit with organising links, attaching digital pics and understanding the programming requirements. Rest assured, that I have endeavoured to be as neutral as possible in writing the content by simply piecing together currently available, reliable, unbiased, third party information with as many references as possible. I certainly welcome any feed-back and assistance! DTurik (talk) 04:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to WP. Just thought I'd let you know that if you want to link to another article in Wikipedia you can just type [[Article name]], and don't have to use an external link (one square bracket) that points to en.wikipedia.org. For further reading on the subject, have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking. Good luck with Mikaela Turik! –meiskam (talkcontribblock) 03:54, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mikaela Turik, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your draft article, User:DTurik/sandbox

edit
 

Hello, DTurik. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "sandbox".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|User:DTurik/sandbox}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 09:24, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
