Speedy deletion of Arthur Lessac edit

 

A tag has been placed on Arthur Lessac requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ironholds 01:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Arthur Lessac edit

 

I have nominated Arthur Lessac, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Lessac. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ironholds 01:34, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme}} edit

Hi -- I have been learning about Wikipedia by posting an article -- H. Donald Wilson -- Since it is long, I would like to convert it from long form to a numbered table of contents. Headings are there. I tried using #, ##, etc but that only got 1, 1 1, Then I tried #, ##, ###, and that didn't work either. How do I get this done please? I am reading the instructions but obviously missing something.

Headings should be placed in headers enclosed by == signs... Subheaders can use ===... (Edit your talk page for an example, each second is in a second level header... –xeno (talk) 18:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
