You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on NATO: Operational Combat in Europe in the 1970s 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 web content, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. ...William 19:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

editThanks for contributing the new article Armageddon: Tactical Combat, 3000-500 BC. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding more sources to the article you created, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks! PS If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. - MrX 19:45, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Games articles
editHallo, thanks for contributing 3 new articles and editing a 4th. Unfortunately they have all been nominated for deletion on the basis that they have no references and don't show evidence of being "Notable". If you have any books or magazines, or websites, which discuss these games, please add references to the articles. It would also be useful if you told us more about the games: you just call them "games" without specifying whether they are videogames, boardgames, or what. I gather from looking at SPI's page that they are probably boardgames and war games, but please put this information into the articles: it's not obvious. Thanks. PamD 10:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
