Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! roh. (talk) 17:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Col. Raj Singh


A tag has been placed on Col. Raj Singh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. roh. (talk) 17:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thakur Dal Singh


The article Thakur Dal Singh has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &mdash; RHaworth 17:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Thakur Dal Singh
This page has the possibility of being a good article but for that to happen it needs to be split into sections and also it is in need of more refs. It may also benefit with a 'See Also' section showing related pages otherwise I think that it is unlikely your page will get deleted as there are lots of keeps. Keep up the good work. Good luck,  Wilbysuffolk   Talk to me  20:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC).

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. roh. (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

How to add footnotes
Footnotes can be added inline to the body of your text using And the resultant text would look like: JavaScript is used on webpages today.1

With the superscript 1 being a link to a footnote at the bottom of the page automatically created by inserting the code:

An easy to follow standard guide is at Referencing for beginners with citation templates, an online video demonstration can be played at Footnotes demo.ogv and a primer for general editing is at How to edit a page. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Guidance on notability
Hi Pkandhal,

Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.

If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.

Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.

If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on.

Thanks, Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Help
I have added the above two sections in response to your request for more guidance material. A key criticism of the references is that referring to an entire Archive is too vague to be a credible reference. Please break this down to mention a particular record or document within the Archive and identifying data about it such as date, title and author. Thanks Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
