Zilant-Azhdaha

Hi! You had replaced Tatar word Ajdaha with transliterated Persian Azhdaha. I think, it's bit incorrect. Nevertheless Tatars had mythological creature of Persian origin, it should be written as it is written in Tatar language. In Tatar j is an equal of Persian zh. --Untifler 12:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Anne Watson

Hello Sbirge,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Anne Watson for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hello Sbirge, a belated welcome to Wikipedia! I've declined the above request for immediate deletion but note that Domdeparis has requested a deletion discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anne Watson. You are welcome to participate there but you should first read the notability guideline for politicians, which states (in footnote) "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists" and try to provide in-depth sources about Watson from newspapers, magazines and similar sources. The Teahouse forum is a good place for inexperienced editors to get advice, and the editors at Wikiproject Women can be helpful in finding sources. Good luck!

Deletion discussion about Anne Watson

Hello, Sbirge,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Anne Watson should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anne Watson .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Citing sources for Anne Watson

I've put the sources for Anne Watson into a form that presents all the customary bibliographic information, instead of just the URL.

Also, I've added one inline citation for the fact that she is indeed the mayor. The inline part looks like {{sfn|WCAX|2018}}. The sfn stands for short footnote. The next parameter is the last name of the author, but the WCAX story doesn't have an individual, so I used the name of the TV station instead. The last parameter is the year.

If you look at the "Works cited" section, you'll see the part for the WCAX story looks like this in the text editor:

*{{Cite web| title = Watson takes over as Montpelier mayor| work = WCAX| accessdate = April 29, 2018| date = March 16, 2018| url = http://www.wcax.com/content/news/Watson-takes-over-as-Montpelier-Mayor-477128363.html | ref = {{harvid|WCAX|2018}}}}

The part that says ref = {{harvid|WCAX|2018}} is a way to indicate that since there isn't any author, we're using WCAX instead of an author, and 2018 for the year.

Good luck. Jc3s5h (talk) 00:48, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
