Footnotes

According to scientists, the Sun is pretty big.<ref>Miller, E:
"The Sun.", page 23. Academic Press, 2005</ref>

<div class="references-small"><references/></div>

{{subst:footnotes|100%}} can also be used under the Notes header.

  1. Defining the footnote: <ref name="bleh">...</ref>
  2. Referring to the footnote again: <ref name="bleh" />

Mark an article for deletion

Speedy deletion

  • {{db-reason|reason}} - Give a reason.
  • {{db-attack}} - Page created primarily to disparage its subject.
  • {{db-author}} - The only editor of this page either accidentally created it or no longer believes it to be useful, and requests its deletion.
  • {{db-bio}} - Article about a person/group/organization that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject.
  • {{db-copyvio|url=sourceUrl}} - Created in the last 48 hours, and all of its revisions are a blatant copyright infringement from the website of a commercial content provider (sourceUrl) with no assertion of permission.
  • {{db-empty}} - Very short article providing little or no context, contains no content whatsoever, or consists only of links elsewhere or a rephrasing of the title.
  • {{db-nonsense}} - Provides no meaningful content or history, text is unsalvageably incoherent, etc. Pure crap.
  • {{db-repost}} - Reposted content that was removed in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.
