Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have all the sources in an Excel file, and I will start to insert references right away. I'm not very good at creating wikipedia pages, so I'm a bit worried that the layout of the Hendrik Kerstens page may seem unprofessional. Could someone explain or help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

The article Hendrik Kerstens has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:33, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Hendrik Kerstens

[edit]

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Idiaal, thanks for creating Hendrik Kerstens!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. In its current form, the article reads like advertising copy. Please rewrite to represent a neutral point of view.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
