Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page So French Records do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Your edit here to So French Records was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/pages/So-French-Records/201452749883503) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mac Stanton


A tag has been placed on Mac Stanton 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 band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. TransporterMan ( TALK ) 16:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Incubation
You didn't quite get it incubated, so I finished the process for you. The article is now at Article Incubator/Mac Stanton. Good luck with your editing. Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 20:36, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Adoption
Pleased to meet you Tetra, I'd be happy to adopt! My other adoptee (the amiable Wikmont) actually speaks fluent and adept French, if you to would like to pool resources at some point for the So French Records page, or translation associated with French house. Both your new pages are great starts, fitting most necessary criteria (you've written them in a largely neutral manner, added infoboxes, and used a proper citing format. Hallellujah!) I've written some tips for both pages on their respective talk pages.

Also, a tip for the future, do you know how to start pages in draft form? Instead of editing the actual subject itself from the start, create a page titled User:TetraEleven/DRAFTTITLE. This will ensure that while you are happily working on a young entry, other editors won't swoop in and post terrifying "deletion" tags. When I first started working on my own entries, those used to give me heart attacks. Also, if you are actively working on a live (not in draft form) page, feel free to stick the maintenance box (two of the squiggly { at each end of the letters uc) at the top of the code. (short for under construction).

Also, be sure to sign your notes on forums and talk pages by typing four tildes (the squiggly ~ symbol), like here ~
 * Quick tip; I don't tend to respond unless someone leaves a quick notice on my talk board, otherwise I won't know you responded; feel free to leave your extended answers wherever you like. Also, I would recommend you get in the habit of always leaving a short note in the "edit description" box whenever you make a change; even if you just type "typo fix" or "tweak", it leaves a good map for the future, and is considered polite wiki-etiquette.

Hi Tetraeleven, I am a new wikipedian and I have been adopted by Sloggerbum. I see you are interested by French electronic band. So, as Sloggerbum wrote you, I can help you for French translations. I wish you that your entrance in the Wikipedia workd will sound as a sweet melody.--Wikmontmartre18 (talk) 07:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Catching up
Hi Tetra, hope you are doing well! I was looking over the So French Records, and had a quick recommendation. The artist list can be fixed to have multiple columns, so it will take up less space. You start by attaching this code to the top of the list: Then attach this code to the bottom of the list: And in between those two pieces of code, attach this code wherever you want a new column to start: I always have to move the breaks around to get the columns the right size, so it may take a few tries. Having the break in the exact middle of the list makes two columns, having two breaks 1/3 and 2/3 of the way down makes three columns, etc. Anyways, you can see if that will help. Cheers,  Sloggerbum  ( talk ) 04:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
