Please format the external links
Hello, ... please format the external links in  using the   template ... you can use some of the other articles as examples ... whenever possible, use the  from the HTML file for the Web page (assuming you're an HTML newbie):
 * 1) from your Web browser's menu, View | Page source
 * 2) search for the HTML   tag
 * 3) copy the text up to the   end tag

Using http://www.waterholes.com/~dennette/1996/hopper/bug.htm for an example, we examine the HTML source file, and can make:

That produces:

Note: by using ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD), the MediaWiki software can automagically create links to the year and date articles ... it also avoids 02/04/08 confusion. :-)

Note: the  will add the italics, and if the source publication has an article (e.g.. The New York Times for  ), then place it in   so that it will be linked ... you'll have to research whether or not a Spanish language publication like El Nuevo Herald has an article.

Even though I don't read Spanish, I can take "by Jose Padilla" and make:

This will get displayed as Padilla, Jose in the appropriate position in the citation.

Just read the Template:Cite web and Template:Cite news documentation (for published articles/reviews without Web versions), and you'll figure out what else you can use ... BTW, I've never used it myself, but there's a  template.

Speedy deletion nomination of Leadformix


A tag has been placed on Leadformix, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business 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 page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. andy (talk) 14:30, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Mapusoft Technologies
Hi. I see you added a hang on tag to Mapusoft Technologies. However, that is only for contesting a speedy deletion request, and the article has not been nominated for speedy deletion. If you wish to contest the deletion, you need to take part in the discussion at Articles for deletion/Mapusoft Technologies. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
