Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - articles about future events, in particular, need reliable sources.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.

If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/2081 (film). Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? JohnCD (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC) Please don't be discouraged - it was a well-written and presented article, much better than most first articles, the only problem was lack iof independent reliable sources. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And JohnCD is quite correct. The article is much better than many... and simply lacks sufficient sourcing. Dig for 'em. Find 'em. Make 'em great. Keep improving the article... and in the meantime, go to the article, click "edit this page", do a "copy" of the entire thing, and then go to HERE to create your sanbox where you can then "paste" the entire article so as to continue working "just in case" it does not survive the AfD.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Further, you yourself have no "rush to publish". If it gets deleted, don't sweat it. As more sources become available, your ability to support the article become even stronger... and I think that even if it were to be deleted, it would be welcome to return in due course of time.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Other URL's for external links: New York Times artticle on Thor Halvorssen, Reason.com, TheFreeLibrary.com, URLFan, Atlasnetwork.tv, Finallyequal.com, brain-terminal.com, and I don't read or speak Russian (?). One or more of these might be helpful.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

2081 (film)
The film survived the AfD... but not a "keep"... only as a "no-consensus". It may be reyurned to an AfD by the same or another editor if they feel it has not been properly improved, as is their perogative. Let us both keeps our eyes open for continued mention of the film in the pres so the article can be continued to be improved... for trust me, it was close.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:25, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Need to source the deleted quote from Thor Halvorssen about Sundance and other festivals so it may be returned to the article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a way to set up a ref so it can be used multiple times within one article. Over at WP:REFPUNC there is a section describing how this is done.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 14:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * When one is creating a reference that may be used a few times, instead of having REF inside the first < > brackets, one has REF NAME="(pick a short name)", and then the rest of the ref is finished as normal. Any subsequent use of the same ref all one needs do is use REF NAME="(that same name)"/ inside the < > brackets.
 * So I took care of it and brought you a sample. Do an edit to the following sentences so you can see just what this looks like:
 * The first time it is used looks like:
 * Any subsequent use of that same ref looks like:
