You are presently dealing with my submission on "The Jones Sewing Machine Co.". The numbers 1-4 have appeared above the references. Was I meant to put the (ref) tags in the text? If not, what do I do with these numbers.
Secondly, on the "Singer Sewing Machine Company" page I have added 3 pictures near the bottom with one more to come. Two of them are displayed but the first one will not show, although I have checked the file name and that it has uploaded. Can you spot what I am doing wrong because I carried out the same procedure for all three pictures.

- Yes. They are meant to go into the text of the article. Ideally after the punctuation of the sentence it was meant to verify. For a small tutorial on how to, please see the following:
| How references work |
|---|
Simple references[edit]These require two parts;
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>
== 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:Panjigally/reftest and try it out. Named references[edit]Chzz 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[edit]You 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. |
- The third picture is not listed in the gallery at all. Are you sure you copied it correctly? And lastly you might want to expand the article with more text. Currently it looks like an article for a small existing company when in truth it is actually more about antique sewing machines from the 19th century made by a now defunct company. I suggest making its historical significance clear.--Obsidi♠nSoul 20:55, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Note: I fixed the picture [1] - it had "File:singer66.jpg" instead of "File:Singer66.JPG". Capitals matter. You can see all your upload pics here. Because of the 'exact file name' issues, copy/paste is usually best. Cheers, Chzz ► 21:05, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it needs inline references; please see that page; I've posted examples. Cheers, Chzz ► 22:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Re. "your review" - cheers, I'm glad it helped. It doesn't need too much doing; just moving the refs [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]to the appropriate facts they cover.
- I know refs are one of the most confusing things, for new users - but, they're also the most essential.
- Also, I wonder...would it be possible to expand it, just a little, before making it live? The reason I ask is...if a new article is well-referenced and is at least 1500 characters of prose - which would be another paragraph or so - then it can be featured on the main page of Wikipedia, as a "Did you know..." item. See WP:DYKS. Just a thought.

Speedy deletion nomination of Himansu Basu[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Himansu Basu 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.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GILO A&E⇑ 00:51, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Misbourne[edit]
I am going to counter the allegations with statements from Howard-Drake and Bates as detailed here. [2] As a COI, I attended the school at the time of this alleged mutiny, and us pupils were blissfully unaware. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 22:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I am not sure that this is the right way to contact you but here goes.... I appreciate that you know more about this incident than I do. I have no direct interest in the school or its staff but I do feel that the tone of Wikipedia is not raised by such accounts. Mention it, by all means but direct readers to an external source for the details. In ten years time will this be a worthy inclusion for a respected encyclopaedia or just gossip. At the very least you must not use the names of living individuals. I shall take another look later Panjigally (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
