User talk:Foogoo97

Welcome!

Hello, Foogoo97, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Jim Nolan, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 18:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jim Nolan


The article Jim Nolan 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 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 when you are ready to add one. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 18:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have added a reference, so the above is moot in this case. Please bear it in mind though when you create future articles. If you need any help, drop me a line at my Talk Page. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 18:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
There is a project to make editing simpler. There are also lots of aids to editing; for example:

Regarding your comment about citations: Have you noticed that there's a "Cite" toolbar which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code?



You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):

Hope this helps,
