Speedy deletion of Pedro remon
A tag has been placed on Pedro remon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. NuclearWarfare  contact me My work 03:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Creating attack pages
Hello Slimguy. I have deleted the Pedro remon article. Please take a look at Biographies of living persons before ever again creating an article like that one. EdJohnston (talk) 03:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikilinks and footnotes
Hi. To create a link to a Wikipedia page, you put two square brackets  around it. So to Wikilink Noriyuki Haga, you don't put. Rather, you just say  and that gives you Noriyuki Haga.

To add a footnote, all you do is put your footnote text  at the end of the sentence, after the period. The  at the end of the article takes care of the rest. Please don't put  after a sentence and then try to add something after the. That fails because the numbering could change, and then your 42 will make no sense. And the footnote can't be clicked to find the footnote.

Instead, just write: and it will look like this:

Noriyuki Haga finished the 2009 World Superbike season aboard the factory-backed 1098R second overall behind Ben Spies, with 8 wins, and 19 podiums.

And a footnote will magically appear, with whatever the correct number should be, here:

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Slimguy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Slimguy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
