User talk:Hatahtah

Welcome!

Hello, Hatahtah, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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 Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Some tips
At Zamalek you added 3 names. They met our criteria for notability at WP:PEOPLE as they have articles, but you didn't link to the articles. The other problem is that only one of them had an article that mentioned Zamalek, so I removed the 2 that didn't and changed the spelling for the singer so it matches that of her article. Google searches on your spellings for all 3 turned up their articles.

You added the name of a storyteller - I doubt that he meets our criteria for notability and it looks promotional. Ditto the translators, no articles.

This doesn't mean your edits aren't appreciated, just that (like me at the beginning) you need to read up on our policies and guidelines. Dougweller (talk) 08:25, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
