Some good things to help you:

  Use Spaces  
Spaces usually come after punctuation marks.
Instead of this:
  • I like bunnies(rabbits).They are not only cute,but friendly too.
Try this:
  • I like bunnies (rabbits). They are not only cute, but friendly too.

  Protect Your Article  
1. Putting lots and lots of references into your article protects it from being deleted.
2. Put references in your article like this example:
Rabbits are cute.<ref>http://www.about-rabbits.com</ref>
3. Add this to the bottom of the article:
==References==
{{reflist}}
4. Don't use Baidu.baike, Hudong, Tianya and sites that are not professionally written.
5. Write in your own words. Just the facts. Don't copy and paste.
6. Make your article style like other articles.

Hello, I had a look at Dingchuncheng. There are no references or links to show where the information came from in the article. For articles about live people it is essential to show that the information in the article is true. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ding Chun Cheng

edit

Dear NNU student. Congratulations, Your article is online. The title was changed a bit to the most used term. But there is work to do! Every article needs references. Articles of living persons (like this one) urgently need references, or will be deleted. So I am going to ask you to add sources/references from reliable sources in the article. Just place them inthe <ref>http://www.thewebsite.com</ref> format and we'll improve. Also place {{Reflist}} at the bottom! Good luck! L.tak (talk) 18:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Ding Chun Cheng

edit
 

The article Ding Chun Cheng has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. joe deckertalk to me 03:05, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Like Anna Frodesiak, I am Canadian and I'm trying to help people from your school write better Wikipedia articles. I see that you created a page on Ding Chun Cheng that has been nominated for deletion. This is because Wikipedia rules that all newly created biographies of living people (生者傳記) must have at least one reference to a "reliable source" (可靠来源) like a reputable newspaper, a magazine interview, etc. It will be easy to save your page. All you need to do is find one "reliable source" about Ding. Just remember that you can't use any of Ding's own websites as "reliable sources." Your sources have to be independent from him. Good luck, and have fun editing! Madalibi (talk) 05:55, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ying Tian College

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ying Tian College, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Spartaz Humbug! 17:45, 8 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
