Tip of the day...

How to use red links

When a link in Wikipedia leads to nowhere, it is displayed in red to alert our editors that it requires attention. A red link can mean one of two things:

1. The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link needs to be removed or renamed to point to an existing article.
2. A new article is needed. When a Wikipedian writes an article, it is common practice to linkify key topics pertinent to an understanding of the subject, even if those topics don't have an article on Wikipedia yet. This has two applications:
   1. From within an article, such a link prepares the article to be fully supported. At any time, a Wikipedian may independently write an article on the linked-to subject, and when this happens, there's already a link ready and waiting for it. The red link also gives readers the opportunity to click on it to create the needed article on the spot.
   2. In topic lists, it is useful to include every topic on the subject you can possibly find or think of. When they are turned into links, the list immediately shows where the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage for that subject are, since all of the topics missing articles will show up in red. Such lists are useful tools in developing subject areas on Wikipedia, as they show where work is needed most.

Belinda Blinked

Hello Greg, have a read here about WP:CWW about taking information from one page within wikipedia (My Dad Wrote a Porno) to another (Belinda Blinked). Basically what you are doing is replicating the page without any attribution, which is not good practice, firstly because its not necessary to have two virtually identical pages, but also it may inadvertantly appear that you are claiming you did the work yourself. I will take a look and trim some of it out, but in future you need to properly attribute copied work and I think at the least you need to make an attribution on talk explaining that the work is copied. I can see that you are a new editor so if there is anything you would like help with don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks. Mramoeba (talk) 09:01, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, DJ Nihal, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:26, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
