Micula (surname)
Hallo Samy, and welcome. Well done for producing an article with references as your first contribution. You'll see I've made one or two little changes to it, but more importantly I've also made it easier to find! When you create an article with a "disambiguator" (ie "(surname)" in this case), you need to make sure that someone looking at the main title (in this case plain Micula) can find your article. As you can see, I've added a "Hatnote" here. Sometimes it's a case of adding a link to a "disambiguation page" which already lists various uses of the term. I found there was a river which needed a link, too (and I made a redirect from Micula River which should have existed but didn't yet). And I added this surname to the dab page at Mikula as you state that it's an alternative spelling. All these links help people to find their way around the encyclopedia (and help to prevent accidental duplicate articles being created when people can't find the first one!) There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. Welcome! Pam D  10:15, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
