Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Again, welcome! &mdash; neuro  (talk)  22:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of ENC Press
A tag has been placed on ENC Press, 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 the guidelines on spam as well as 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), 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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  22:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Information about citing sources
My pleasure. I'm glad that you're interested in writing and improving articles on Wikipedia! Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:


 * cite news : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use
 * cite web : for web pages. I normally use . If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
 * cite book : for books. I normally use.

Another good link about sources is Reliable sources, which states that Wikipedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. Remember to keep this in mind when you are researching an article. Sources from Myspace and most blogging sites are not reliable sources and should not be used in Wikipedia articles. Also, using "third-party sources" means that the article should not solely rely on sources that originate from the company/organization that the article is about.

Only "third-party sources" confirm an article's notability. Otherwise, the article may be deleted, so make sure that the article asserts notability before submitting it.

Some good websites to search for news articles to source an article are: Google News and Google News Archive, AccessMyLibrary, and Factiva. Google Books is a nice website that stores all kinds of books from many different authors and is a valuable researching/sourcing tool.

Also, to prevent hasty new page patrollers from tagging your unfinished new articles for speedy deletion, you should store them in User:Trixie1127/Sandbox, your sandbox, until they are ready to be moved to article space.

Good luck with article building! Feel free to ask me further questions if you get confused about anything. Take care, Cunard (talk) 06:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
