Speedy deletion of Rodarte
A tag has been placed on Rodarte, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Sure, no problem. The citation formats here can get convoluted, so don't feel like you need to learn everything all at once. -- B figura (talk) 05:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * here is a citation / link to the FIT source http://studio-online.com/socomments/?m=20071010&paged=2 . does this help verify the information?--User:Skipperasta:


 * It looks like it, although I'm going to try and see if I can find the official link from the FIT site. Looks like you got your sig working. Congrats :) -- B figura (talk) 06:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Apologies for the fact that it's a canned message :) -- B figura (talk) 05:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

what does a canned message mean? skipper asta


 * Oh, sorry, it's an (american?) english idiom for a phrase that's not personalized. In this case, it was generated by a standard welcome template. -- B figura (talk) 06:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * oh i see! i added a link to show the museum thing above for reference. ? and their is a citation reference after the dita quote- but there is a photo at the bottom. can you help make these references? i do not know how to add to the # lists.-- Skipperasta (talk) 06:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC) skipperasta Skipperasta (talk) 06:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I got it (I think). To add the #'s, what you basically have to do is use reference tags. It looks kinda like this:

There's a bunch of fancy ways to organize the reference information, but the most common one for the sources you're using would be cite web. If you click on the link, it tells you how to use it. Cheers, -- B figura (talk) 06:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Just a note: I'm going to head to bed (although I didn't get a chance to work all the links in yet). If you have questions though, you can ask me on my talk page, or if you want a fast response, just type helpme somewhere on your page, and someone will automatically come along.
