Venusa7
Hi
editHi Venusa7, with regards to your Thank You Australia article-somebody has rejected it as not having any reliable third party sources to establish notability. I have attached some links below for you to read through so you can get an idea how this works & then you can get it in. Give me a shout if you have any other questions.
Welcome

IRC
editHi Venusa7. Just leaving a msg. on chzz's behalf, re your chat on IRC earlier.
Unfortunately, when you were on IRC, chzz was already dealing with another user, so couldn't spend as much time as he'd have like with your query re the TYA Inc. article.
Please feel free to rejoin IRC whenever suits, and ask chzz or anybody there.
Or indeed leave talk on mine or chzz's talk pages. We'll definitely help you. Cheers, Trafford09 (talk) 09:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
How references work
editSimple references
editThese require two parts;
- a)
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
- b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== References == {{reflist}}
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Venusa7/reftest and try it out.
Named references
editChzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
Citation templates
editYou can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref>
Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
Thank you Australia
editSorry about the delay in replying-I've had a look at your article. There are a few problems though-firstly it lacks notability. If you read that information, you will understand what i mean. The references are all from the official website which is not enough. It also reads as quite promotional-read this. If you have any other questions, ask away! Dotty••|☎ 19:20, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
