[edit] Cometh the Hour

Hello BigBrother1997,

I have just noticed you recently created an article about the season finale of Sea Patrol. On Wikipedia, rather than creating individual episode pages, editors tend to rather creating season pages. This is because there is not usually enough information about each episode and the page will probably be deleted soon.

I recommend that you add a summary to the Cometh the Hour episode in the season page, called Sea Patrol (season 1). You could also expand this page.

Thanks, and if you have any questions about anything, just click talk below and I'll be happy to help.

[edit] Re: Question

Hello,

To get an infobox, first you find the infobox template that you want. For example, there is Template:Infobox character, which you might use if you are writing about a fictional character. Once you've found the right infobox template, there is usually a sample code in the template, you copy that template and put it at the top of the article that you want to use it in. The sample code for Template:Infobox character looks like this:

{{Infobox character
| colour      = 
| colour text = 
| name        = 
| series      = 
| image       = 
| caption     = 
| first       = 
| last        = 
| cause       = 
| creator     = 
| portrayer   = 
| episode     = 
| nickname    = 
| alias       = 
| species     = 
| gender      = 
| age         = 
| born        = 
| death       = 
| specialty   = 
| occupation  = 
| title       = 
| callsign    = 
| family      = 
| spouse      = 
| significantother= 
| children    = 
| relatives   = 
| residence   = 
| religion    = 
| nationality = 
| imdb_id     = 
}}

Once you've pasted the code in, you fill in any spaces that you want. Here's a sample one I've just done:

The main thing to remember is the {{Infobox character text at the top and the }} at the bottom. If you forget these, then the infobox won't work at all.

George
Information
Nickname(s) "G"
Gender Male
Date of birth 29 January 1956
Date of death 8 June 1978

I hope that helps. If you need any more help, please ask. I could even help you do it on the specific article, if you want. Daniel99091 (talk) 08:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Speedy deletion of Richard 'Rick' Gallagher

A tag has been placed on Richard 'Rick' Gallagher 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 05:36, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lifebox or userbox

Hello Big Brother,

If you want a userbox, visit the Userbox gallery at Wikipedia:Userboxes. Here, you can view all the userboxes other users have made and you can choose ones that you like. When you've found one you like, copy the writing next to the box (for example {{Template:user mathematician}}) and paste it onto your userpage. This particular userbox will look like:

e^{i \pi} \,\; This user is a mathematician.

If you want to group all your userboxes together in a single column, similar to what I've done on my userpage, see Wikipedia:Userboxes#Grouping userboxes.

Hope that helps :) Daniel99091 (talk) 06:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC).

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Richard 'Rick' Gallagher. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Triwbe (talk) 08:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Little Haiti (Grand Theft Auto)

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
