How do I create a summary box? Kingsheis2017 (talk) 18:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)]
Hi, do you mean an infobox? I can help you with this. What topic are you wanting one for? —Guanaco 18:59, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I am creating one for an individual. So I need to put a name, small picture, date of birth, etc. How do I add this? Kingsheis2017 (talk) 17:05, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- You'll use Template:Infobox person. That page will give you the syntax and a list of available options. For some examples you can look at the code in existing articles about people. —Guanaco 17:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- If you have trouble, I'm more responsive on User talk:Guanaco, or you can ping me with
{{ping|Guanaco}}
. Either of those options will send me an instant alert. —Guanaco 17:15, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Okay thank you! Also, how do I add a photo? I'm having trouble with that as well. I did it before but the picture was too big. I can't remember how I did it. Kingsheis2017 (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Picture tutorial is a good guide to adding photos in general. With an infobox, you don't need the [[File:...]] stuff. Just use the file name in the "image = " section. —Guanaco 20:54, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

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 Baratunde A. Cola, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Baratunde A. Cola
[edit]Hello Kingsheis2017,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Baratunde A. Cola for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, 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.

I think I commented on your page but I'm not positive where as I'm new to all this. I was the original one that created this page and it got deleted for advertising, so I redid it and took out the parts that needed to be taken out, and reposted. There was nothing stolen from anyone. Is there any other problems other than that? Thank you. Kingsheis2017 (talk) 06:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes you did manage to post on my talk page, but you put your query in a strange place so it was hard to find. To prove that you do own the copyright, you can add a special notice to the original web site to grant cc-by-sa3.0 licence. If you can follow the procedure in WP:PERMIT•.

I send an image to that email and explain the situation. Still haven't received a reply yet. What is the fastest way to get this turned around? I'm needing this page up asap. So frustrating. Thank you for all your help. Kingsheis2017 (talk) 16:43, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
