Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! jonny - m t  09:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Marcel Vezina
An editor has nominated Marcel Vezina, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Because the city of Shawinigan-Sud merged in 2002 along with other cities, many sources, websites from "merging" cities, have been taken down. Hence sources on the web is very scarce. On the other hand, I talked to a journalist working at the Nouvelliste in Trois Rivieres, and I am told that most info from newspapers prior to 5-6yrs ago, have been taken out of the web, and placed to microfiche. I don't know how to cite my sources and to "link" microfiche to Wiki...???? There's plenty sources in Journal de Montreal, Journal de Quebec, Lapresse, Le nouvelliste, but on microfiche.

 * To answer your question about paper sources: just post a reference to the sources (title, date, page number), perhaps indicating briefly what sort of coverage it is (report, interview, profile, exit poll, etc.). Other editors with access to microfiche/archive will then be able to verify them. --Paularblaster (talk) 22:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wikimike123 and welcome to Wikipedia! The people around here have pretty high standards and the article you created is, well, crappy. I don't mean that badly, it's way better than anything I've ever done, but don't feel bad if it gets deleted.

You might want to try editing some other articles to get a feel for how things work. You can certainly reference material on fiche, you will have to learn about "cite" templates, and of course if people can't call it right up on the web, it will get that little extra scrutiny. Don't let that stop you, just get better with WP:RS and WP:V and WP:CITE (and all the rest of the Wiki alphabet soup!).

Help us out with some of the existing articles, we need all the help we can get! :) Franamax (talk) 08:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
