Helpme
helpme ok, this was my first article. I thought I can do a -very- short introduction to this person and later readers will build on it..ok, my question: if I want to introduce a person, what are the minimal needs of structure? did I do something wrong with my references? A complete article on Richard A. Passwater on his person and his subjects would be out of my timeframe, so what are the minimal needs to introduce some person? thanks a lot for your critics, I hope I will do a better job with my next trial* cheers novelavant
 * Heyo novelavant,
 * General first article notes can be found on WP:FIRST.
 * Doesn't have to be a big article, you can start with even one basic paragraph that gives the person's reason for notability. However, it's better to start with a little more than just that and to use a couple references as well. Link me when you have something up and I'll be happy to give tips and help a little.
