Hello!

Hello, Squrtl, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you already managed to find a band that was missing an article, and started a page for them. Awesome job. There's one catch, though: you can't copy content from other webpages, generally. It's against the law in most countries, including the US and countries in the UK, due to

copyright laws. As such, The Dead Famous might be deleted by an administrator; if that link is red, it's been deleted. Whether or not it gets deleted, you're more than welcome to give it another try. This time, use the source webpage as a reference, instead of just rewording its text. Just add this after a paragraph based on the thedeadfamous.co.uk

, for example:

<ref>{{cite|url=http://www.thedeadfamous.co.uk/|title=The Dead Famous|accessdate=YYYY-MM-DD}}</ref>

You'll notice that I put YYYY-MM-DD in there. That's where you put the date that you accessed the website for reference purposes.

I hope you'll give it another go. If you need any help, please let me know; you can contact me on my talk page. Good luck! —Zenexer [talk] 08:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that you started the page in your userspace before copying it to the article namespace. Very impressive! In the future, you can actually move the whole page, including its history. It doesn't really matter when you're the only contributor, but it's nice to have the actual editing history attached to the article. Depending on your settings, the "Move" link should be in the upper-right corner of each page, possibly within a menu. —Zenexer [talk] 08:41, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
