Hi. Sorry about the delay in replying.
Start with reliable secondary sources. Lots of them. As many as you can find, for that matter. Then start writing using information from those sources (don't copy directly from them, though!), following the Manual of Style as you go, and making sure to write from a neutral point of view. If you can prove that IvsEdits is notable, and back it up with sources that are generally considered trustworthy, the article will have a good chance of surviving the "PROD".
I hope this helps. Happy editing! :) WikiPuppies bark dig 14:09, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! I have to thank you for your time. I'm still attempting to learn how to write on wikipedia.
I hope you will can confirm that for this article as primary source is possible to use http:\\ivsEdits.com while as secondary sources can be used the following links?

- Hi again.
- Unfortunately, none of those sources are reliable enough for inclusion. Some sources that would be considered reliable include:
- university-level textbooks
- books published by respected publishing houses
- magazines
- journals
- mainstream newspapers.
- You might want to read this for more information on what constitutes a reliable source, according to policy.
- Cheers. :) WikiPuppies bark dig 22:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks to all for contributing to my wikipedia editor skill improvements; I understood that I placed two wrong sources, and I replaced them with other two with referral to the article.
- Wikipuppies: were you repling to me or to Superbobcat? If you were repling to me, Ok, but if you were repling to Superbobcat, why the above sources are not reliable? HD Video Pro is a well known magazine, as well as Softpedia and Cnet are thrusted web sites/magazines that made reviews about ivsEdits.
- Anyway, there are lots of articles without any sources, this is one but there are thousends http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugmode_Wax . At the end I read "this article is a stub". It is there from years; how long an article can be a stub? Can I add articles as stubs waiting other editors to add sources? Is it my problem that I am a newcomer and so not yet considered reliable?
- Thank you to all of you for your time and patience :-) Paoloivs (talk) 00:01, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
ivsEdits edit
I didn't delete it because I didn't think it was not notable, I deleted it because another user proposed it for deletion and there was no objection after 7 days. If you want I can restore the article. GiantSnowman 10:56, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- You can respond at your talk page or at my page (just let me know where you'll be posting!), no need to open a 'new section' every time, simply click 'Edit' on the existing section and post at the bottom. I will restore the article, but a review is not a reliable source. Please see WP:RS and WP:GNG for more information. GiantSnowman 11:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
