Adding references

I saw your note about trying to add references to Steorn in Talk:Steorn#Suggested Edits. I must say that you've jumped into one of the trickier areas of wiki editing. The reason you don't see them when you edit the "References" section is that they're not actually in that section, they just appear there when the page is displayed. (I know, it's confusing. Even experienced editors have a problem with this oddity.)

The full citations we're using for this article are actually inserted right after the article text, in the place where the superscript footnote number appears. Thus, the (current) first sentence in "The Company" section looks like this in the edit window:

According to the Irish Examiner, Steorn was founded in 2000.<ref name="irish-exam">
{{cite news
  | url = http://www.irishexaminer.com/irishexaminer/pages/story.aspx-qqqg=business-qqqm=business-qqqa=business-qqqid=11133-qqqx=1.asp
  | title = "Wanted: scientists to test free energy technology"
  | work = Irish Examiner
  | date = [[20 August]] [[2006]]
  | accessdate = 2006-08-20
}}
</ref>

I added the bolding to mark the ref tags, which are what create the reference in the "References" section below. The "cite" template is just a handy way of standardizing the citation format. Anything you put between the matching ref tags will create a numbered footnote above and a reference with the in-between text below, wherever the tag <references/> is placed. (For Steorn, it's currently in the "References" section, just below some general (non-numbered) citations.)

Anyway, that's the system in a nutshell. As Kgf0 and I suggest under your post, Wikipedia:Cite your sources (WP:CITE) and Wikipedia:Footnotes (WP:FOOT) go into much more detail about this system. If it gets too overwhelming, of course, you can ask for help, as you did, or just add a simpler reference form, and someone will probably fix it quickly on such an active article. I hope this helps. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again Jeff for the wonderful explanation. I got it in seconds. Thanks! -- Orangehues 18:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Frank Shuman

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 Frank Shuman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:39, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Edits to CCD article

Hi. Please bear in mind that the CCD article is about a honey bee disease; studies discussing birds and other wildlife are not relevant in the CCD article, nor do any of the papers cited in the review (e.g., Sahib's) pertain to CCD (which is now known to be a fungal/viral disease). Even the authors of the review admit that there is no known connection to CCD, so citing the study at all in the CCD article is a borderline thing. It certainly does not bear the extensive discussion here that your edits reflect; just because EMF can disrupt a honey bee colony does NOT mean that it is relevant to an article about CCD. This is not about interpretation of results, but whether those results are relevant to the Wikipedia article being edited. I would suggest that if you wish to draw attention to this study, that you do so in one of the other articles in Wikipedia discussing the effects of EMF; the link to honey bees is marginal at best, and the link to CCD is essentially nonexistent.

Proposed deletion of Charles Eisenstein

The article Charles Eisenstein has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. 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.

Please have a read of some of WP's policies such as :

• Wikipedia:Verifiability - everything you write needs to be verifiable.
• Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias
• Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons - Biographies need to be written from a neutral point of view and not be seen as promoting someone.

File permission problem with File:Prof. Kapil Kapoor at the House of Lords.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Prof. Kapil Kapoor at the House of Lords.jpg, which you've attributed to Prof. Kapil Kapoor. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
