User talk:Ronald Meadow

Welcome!

Hello, Ronald Meadow, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created is an unreferenced biography of a living person. The Wikipedia community has decided that all biographies of living persons (BLPs) created after 18 March 2010 must have reliable sources, or they can be deleted.

This is not a judgement of the quality or notability of your article. If someone has put a prod blp template on the article (click this link to see what it looks like), you have ten days to add at least one reliable source to the article. Once you have added at least one reliable source to the article, you can remove the template. (To learn more about what is a reliable source, read Reliable sources, and to learn how to cite sources, read Citing sources. Or if you want an easier newcomer's look at citing sources, read Help:External links and references first.)

Going over some of the pages below will help you get a sense of Wikipedia, and knowing about Wikipedia's most important policies will help keep you out of trouble here (click [show] to see the links):

Getting started:

Introduction – a great first look at Wikipedia

Wiki markup – talks about how to make bold and italic text and links

Tutorial – a tutorial on all things Wikipedia

Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual – a handy guide to Wikipedia Important policies:

Biographies of living persons – Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons

Reliable sources – Wikipedia's policy on what sources to use

NPOV – Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy for articles

Notability – talks about how to determine whether or not a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia

3RR – Wikipedia's three-revert rule, which says you shouldn't revert a single page more than 3 times in 24 hours

Deletion policy and Criteria for speedy deletion – two pages that talk about reasons for deleting an article. The second page talks about special reasons that allow pages to be deleted quickly and without discussion (attack pages, copyright violations, etc.)

Asking questions:

Questions – tells you where to ask questions


 * New contributors' help page – this is a great place to ask for help when you're new to Wikipedia


 * Help desk – a place to ask Wikipedia-related questions

Proposed deletion of Ruben Mireles III
Hello, Ronald Meadow. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Ruben Mireles III, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:23, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
