Tip of the day...

Advanced signatures

It is good Wikiquette to sign your messages on talk pages. This is done by typing ~~~~ (four tildes). Do not sign article pages.

Some users have fancy signatures with lots of colors and links. Here are 3 different ways to do that:

1. Edit directly in the signature box
   1. Go to your Preferences and type some wiki-markup code (and/or HTML markup code) into the signature box to augment your stock signature
   2. Check the box that says "Treat the above as Wiki markup"
   3. Press the "Save" button. Or...
2. Use an HTML editor
   1. Open an HTML editor (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web)
   2. Design how you want your signature to look, putting links in it by adding brackets [[ ]]
   3. Select it and click the HTML tab and copy the code of your text into the signature box mentioned above.
   4. Be sure not to copy the tags at the beginning and end of the code that say <p> </p>. Or...
3. Adapt someone else's signature
   1. Find a signature you like
   2. Click edit this page
   3. Copy and paste the signature into your signature box (see #1 above), but change all the links to your links: you do not want your signature leading to someone else's user page!

Do not use images, templates, or external links in your signature. Please ensure your custom signature complies with the relevant guideline. Use special code for displayed pipe character.

Speedy deletion nomination of Durand Jones and the Indications

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 Durand Jones and the Indications 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 band or musician that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
