Greetings Kangxi emperor6868, I see you're up for

Thank you, of course I have some enquiries, especially about editing. It is too tiresome to go around Wikipedia and read every single fact (e.g. putting images, adding references, what to put or not to put, etc.). Regards Kangxi Emperor (talk) 17:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've indeed added enough references to remove the template. I'll save the honor for you since you did the work. Adding references is tremendously valuable to Wikipedia. I reformatted and repositioned the refs for clarification. I didn't see how the third link supported anything, so I left it at the end. I also saw a bit of conflict between the National Day (18 Dec) and Independence Day (3 sept according to the second ref). Are they not the same? Perhaps you can understand better and clarify it. Cheers. - Draeco (talk) 18:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no firm policy that I know. Technically I suppose just one reference makes it no longer "unreferenced," so the tag could be removed. But personally, I try to make it one very good reference or several mediocre ones (like the ones in that article). - Draeco (talk) 14:25, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never apologize for writing on my talk page comrade, that's what it's designed for, and you can't mess it up. As for

Here is the full discussion of Flickr images. - Draeco (talk) 20:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And as for uploading images, you can upload them to Wikipedia here, but it would be even better to create a Commons account and upload it there; those images can easily be used on Wikipedia. - Draeco (talk) 20:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding good references is possibly the most valuable thing anyone can do on Wikipedia, but unfortunately yes it is technical. Practice makes perfect.

On a somewhat unrelated note, it's great to see you staying so active on WP, keep up the good work. - Draeco (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean the title used after "ref name =", just make up something unique and memorable (perhaps the author's last name). - Draeco (talk) 21:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reflist template (like all templates) should be flanked by double curved brackets. After {{reflist | refs = but before the last }}, add all your references as you normally would. Each ref begins with <ref name = > and ends with </ref>. Within the reflist template, I usually separate each ref as a new paragraph just to make it easier for humans to decipher. This leaves you with the text below. There is no need for an "a" or other specifier before the reference; the Wikimedia engine recognizes the title that appears within <ref name = > both embedded the article text and in the references list, generates a number for the reference, and links the two. - Draeco (talk) 15:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{reflist| refs =

<ref name = first-ref-example>{{cite web | url = http:/en.wikipedia.org/main_page | title = (this is the title I am talking about) | publisher = Wikimedia Commons}}</ref>

<ref name = second-ref-example>{{cite web | url = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia | title = (this is a second title) | publisher = Wikimedia Commons}}</ref>

}}

Fixed [1]. The infobox template already has the necessary wiki markup built into its code, so all you have to do is enter the file name into the appropriate field. Many templates have similar functions already built in, so if you're stumped in the future, remember to try simplification. When all else fails, go directly to the template's page (here in this case) and read the designers' instructions. - Draeco (talk) 23:30, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the spelling of the article should be "Commercial Bank Plaza"? That seems consistent with your caption and with English in general, but several of the links have the bank spelled "Commercialbank". I'd be hesitant to change the title until that's sorted out. If you were to change it, the best way would be by clicking "move", the fourth tab along the top, to move the page to the appropriate name. - Draeco (talk) 00:54, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Big question. See

Is the mosque commonly called "Fanar" in English, not just Arabic? If so, then there should indeed be a disambiguation page. Just visit

Thank you very much! Don't hesitate to contact me if I could ever be helpful in any way.--Getoar TX (talk) 17:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Masagus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{

Per the reasoning above,

proposed deletion (used for uncontroversial deletions if nobody objects in 7 days) rather than the real thing. Because I think the article has a chance at being a decent stub, I removed the PROD template, but it will likely be put up for the real deal at AfD eventually. - Draeco (talk) 18:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply

If you could create the

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II article, that would help tie it in with Wikipedia better. - Draeco (talk) 18:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply

Because you've contributed to FPC either recently or in the past, I'm letting you know about the above poll on the basis of which we may develop proposals to change our procedures and criteria. Regards, Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 02:13, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect List of inactive Wiki projects. Since you had some involvement with the List of inactive Wiki projects redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).
