Welcome!

Hello, 6BravosToros, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Stuart Williamson, International Artist (Sculptor/Poet), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Proposed deletion of Stuart Williamson, International Artist (Sculptor/Poet)

The article Stuart Williamson, International Artist (Sculptor/Poet) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable 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. reddogsix (talk) 00:14, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's Manual of Style

Welcome to Wikipedia! I note that you are working on an article, Stuart Williamson, in which there are repeated references to the subject as "Stuart." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and doesn't refer to article subjects on a casual first-name basis; please see MOS:SURNAME. Also, please see MOS:SECTIONCAPS; the titles of section headings should always be in sentence case, "Sculptures of contemporary figures", rather than title case as they are currently mostly reflected in the article. There are quite a lot of stylistic conventions that you'll learn as you go along. The editors at WP:TEAHOUSE are very good at answering any questions you may have. Good luck!

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
