Questions

{{Help me}} My reference #4, from the la times, is not linking to the times... is there a way to get the link up. And, can someone take the notibility warning of the top of the page if it is done. If it is not done, will someone please tell how I can make the page better.--Jazzitsax (talk) 18:00, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Michael

I've fixed your reference. You used {{cite web}} when you meant {{cite news}}. Algebraist 18:08, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

{{help me}} how do i place a written article in the sandbox?--Jazzitsax (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2009 (UTC)Michael {{Help me}}

Can you help me with categoers?

How do I tag references?--Jazzitsax (talk) 20:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)Micahel

You can create a sandbox of your own (a subpage of your own) by creating a page titled User:Jazzitsax/sandbox. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "tag references". Could you explain? Killiondude (talk) 20:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

For help on categories, see Help:Categories. For help with adding references, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Xenon54 (talk) 01:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

{{help me}} I've added the reference Who's who in magic by Bart Whaley to address the notability box at the top of the article. What else can I do to delete that box? Also, there is a box at the bottom of the article that says I need additional catagories. Please help me so that box can also be deleted. Thank you.--Jazzitsax (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Michael

If the issues have been addressed, then you can delete the tag yourself. However, you should make sure that the issues have been address first. I will have a look. Plastikspork (talk) 02:19, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I had a look. I believe you can remove the notability tag if you feel it has been addressed, but that doesn't mean that someone else might add it back again. You should state why you have removed it on Talk:Steve Spill. Also, are you certain that his DOB is printed in the reference you cited? If it's not in there, then it should be removed as I was not able to find it anywhere else on the web. Thanks. Plastikspork (talk) 02:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look at the article. I have made many changes. The DOB for steve is right out of the artilcle. It looks like it meets all of the guide lines. --Jazzitsax (talk) 03:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Michael

June 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Steve Spill has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/user/bobkohlermagic#play/all/uploads-all/1/jr0ibe_m15e). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Spill wiki.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Spill wiki.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Spill wiki.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Spill wiki.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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. —C45207 | Talk 01:26, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Article Issues on Steve Spill

I've sighted 4 LA times articles as 3rd party references/sources, as well as other publications. What else can I do to get rid of the "multiple issues" box at the top of the article?--Jazzitsax (talk) 03:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)michael

I assume you mean the Steve Spill article. Those messages at the top don't go away automatically. An editor has to manually remove them, after looking at the content. I've looked at the article, and removed tags that don't seem to be relevant anymore. Thank you for adding those.—C45207 | Talk 03:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk Page

Generally, new talk page content goes at the bottom. Though, replies to other comments are placed below the original comment and indented one level (prefix the line with a colon, :, to get it to indent one level). New subjects generally get their own heading, for example the "Talk Page" heading above. You can read WP:TALK, especially the "User talk pages" section, for more information about user talk pages.—C45207 | Talk 03:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
