Speedy deletion nomination of Herbert Alex Simpson
edit[[
A tag has been placed on Herbert Alex Simpson 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 person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. A8UDI 22:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
helpme How do you create lines between text? Zooloo32 (talk) 00:38, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- Zooloo, in order to garner the attention you're seeking with "helpme" you should place it in curly brackets, like this: {{helpme}}. However, since I have seen the question, I'll try to answer it.
- Generally, if you want a horizontal separator line between two paragraphs, simply type a line with "----". If those are the only four characters on the source line (the line in the edit box), the Wiki software will render that as a horizontal separator line. This practice is not encouraged, however. It is better to create new section headings so the sections can appear in the page's table of contents. (See Help:Wikitext examples) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:08, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
{{helpme}} Sorry, I am new to this. Thats what I meant the last time how do you make those kind of lines. And also is Wikipedia in any way affiliated with any of the Wikia sites and can I use my name here there?
- To create section headers, on one line put ==Section Title==, and you can create subsections using ===Subsection title=== and ====Subsection title====. As for Wikia, they are a separate entity. Wikia is a for-profit site founded by the founder of Wikipedia, and you will have to register a seperate account (although it can have the same username).
