Speedy deletion nomination of Turbo Expo
editHello Rhsellet,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Turbo Expo for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hello, I'm Melcous. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of R. Tom Sawyer. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- The problem is when things that ought to be references are placed inline, giving rise to inlined ELs. The fix is to keep them, but to convert them to
<ref>...</ref>s. Clearly you're already using these and know how it works, so I'm sure you can sort it. - This is still a new article. It's important to write its content now. The formatting can be tidied later. There is no justification for this repeated blanking of stuff that isn't meeting some arbitrary formatting quality guideline right from the outset.

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in R. Tom Sawyer. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 08:42, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

edit Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to R. Tom Sawyer, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Meters (talk) 06:41, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at R. Tom Sawyer, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You have already been told to read MOS. We don't italicize tect because an editor thinks it is an important point. Meters (talk) 06:41, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
