Can anyone help me figure out the citations? also helping with the linking to other articles? I'm new at this and haven't been able to figure it out.

I'm also stuck on how to get his photo there on the right.

Thanks!

Hi. Linking to other articles. Enter the name of the article you want to link to and put [[ at the begining of the title and ]] after it, example Romeo Johnson. Make sure the article name is the same as any mistakes will result in a relink like this:- Romoe Johnson.

For references the easiest way is to type <ref>Type the text of your reference</ref>. The at the bottom of your article type {{reflist}} to produce you list of references. They are numbered automatically so don't worry about including numbers in the reference text. There are a lot of citation templates that you can use for more specific things e.g. websites, books, newspapers etc.

If you need any more help leave a message on my talk page. Hope this helps. NtheP (talk) 19:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your comment at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Romeo Johnson

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! It sounds like you aren't familiar with the policies that I think this article doesn't meet; may I point you toward them so you can help? If you read them, they'll help you understand why I nominated the article for deletion, and you can see for yourself whether the article should be deleted. Here they are:

Conflict of interest. It isn't appropriate for you to create an article, since you are closely connected to him; if he's truly notable, then someone who isn't so close will independently write about him.
Neutral point of view. This article is written like an advertisement; if it is to be kept, someone independent of the subject is going to need to completely rewrite it.
Notability. The first two don't necessarily require deletion, just rewriting by an independent person. Notability is the thing that will decide whether the article is deleted or not. A person isn't notable simply because he has worked with lots of notable people; in order to show that this person is notable, we'll have to find independent sources that have written significantly about him- newspapers, magazines, music web sites, but not himself or his own web page. If you're aware of such sources, you're welcome to add them to the article or discuss them in the deletion discussion. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:58, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
