Your submission at Articles for creation
edit
I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Brian Alan Lane. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

Hello! Rwaytz,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you'd like to drop by the Teahouse and discuss the article, the experienced hosts at the Teahouse would be glad to see if they can offer improvement suggestions... and that may lead to the article becoming accepted. Please join us! Shearonink (talk) 15:20, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

How to use the editing toolbar
edit
Hello! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding well formatted references is very easy to do.
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite". Click on it
- Then click on "templates"
- Choose the most appropriate template and fill as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that would be helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time.
You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv. Hope this helps, Shearonink (talk) 05:05, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Brian Lane
edit
Hello Rwaytz. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Brian Lane".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Brian Lane}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 16:01, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
