Proposed deletion of Marian Spencer


The article Marian Spencer has been because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. 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. SwisterTwister  talk  05:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

How does X work?
Your question. How do I move the content of my User:Revilos1 page to the article Marian Spencer, and keep the formatting for the notes? I tried simply copying all the text and pasting it, and that did not work, because I got a message saying the article does not have references, but the original article from my user page does have references. Thanks, Oliver Spencer
 * First off, thank you for your contributions! People like you add to this collection of human knowledge. Now, simply copying the text off of your userpage and onto the Marian Spencer article won't work, if you are trying to copy the references with the article. You'll have to click edit on your userpage, copy all of the text in the edit box, then paste that into the Marian Spencer article's edit box.


 * I would also recommend adding wikilinks to the article, in other words, link it to other articles. You can do that like this: If you want to make a link to Coney Island, you would put two square brackets around it, like this: . This helps readers better understand the subject.
