Hi... and welcome to Wikipedia! It looks to me like you've added some great information to the article on Dangerfield Newby.
One question I have after reading your additions, is whether or not you have references to support your additions - especially the text of the letter. While it is wonderful to add to articles, it is very important to use inline citations to support the information. I was wondering if perhaps some of the external links that you provided might contain material to verify.
Thanks for the information, it is very interesting! If you need help with citing sources, let me know! Wikipelli Talk 17:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- You're way ahead of me! :) I added a reference, too. Very interesting article. Wikipelli Talk 17:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. Is that an appropriate place for a reference in a block quote? I put it there because i didnt know where else to put it.
Also, do you know to show the HTML text of a reference ([1]) as text without it showing up as [1]?
Thanks
- Hi... I think the placement of the reference for the block quote is good. I checked the Manual of Style and couldn't really find any guidance on that.
- I'm not sure what you mean by showing the HTML text of a reference. It's generally not accepted practice to show the html/URL for a reference but rather a text link to the source. there are ways of formatting links, though:
- This code:
- [http://www.apple.com]
- [http://www.apple.com| http://www.apple.com]
- [http://www.apple.com| Apple Web Site]
- Produces these links:
- I don't know if that's helpful or not. I don't think I'm understanding your question so well. :)
- Thank you. You answered all of my questions (although one was unintentionally answered). The one you thought you didn't answer was answered by displaying the text. But I think there might be more. That's how one avoids displaying a wiki reference, but what if i want to show a reference in text, like <"ref">?

Emails[edit]
Hi Daffy... Been looking over your shoulder and if gamelial doesn't choose to give any discussion, I'd go on without their input. Use the discussion on the article's talk page to guide you on whether you remove the content or not. If you're confident that consensus is for removing, then go ahead and do it. Make sure you put a nice edit summary there to explain what you're doing and that it is based on consensus from the talk page and then put a sentence or two on the talk page. You've made every effort. Wikipelli Talk 19:23, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Play Misty for Me with this edit.

If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

The article America's Future Foundation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- promotional article with no real indication of possible notability
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- I'm going to deprod--but you need to add independent. secondary sources ASAP. I recommend that you nominate this for WP:DYK. If you have any questions about this article, or anything else, you can ask at WT:RIGHT.– Lionel (talk) 02:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

- My first Barnstar! Thanks Goldblooded. DaffyBridge (talk) 22:57, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
No problem, keep up the good work :) User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss)(Complain) 15:25, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
It is perfectly acceptable for you to add a Withdrawn by nom statement, and if 'No outstanding deletion votes' is still true when you do, you may precede that with Speedy Close include the quoted statement as a non-quote. Cheers. Dru of Id (talk) 05:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Dru, thanks for the help there. I didn't quite understand the last part though about "include the quoted statement as a non-quote". I put in the withdrawn by nom comment on the afd page. DaffyBridge (talk) 18:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations on 1,000 edits[edit]

Speedy deletion nomination of America's Future Foundation[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 America's Future Foundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
