From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and by now should have been corrected. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

[edit] Marius de Zayas

I have restored the page and moved it to User:FrancisNaumann/Marius de Zayas so that you can work on it. Apologies if it was not copied from somewhere, that would have been a mistake of mine. Remember to cite reliable sources before moving it back to the mainspace, and please ensure that the article is not a copyright violation. Thanks. J Milburn 15:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It is important that everything on Wikipedia is cited to reliable sources, as I explained above. If you yourself are the only source, that would constitute original research. However, the book you edited would be ok as a source to an extent, but third party sources are preferable. Also, that source alone would not count for anything regarding the notability of the subjects. For now, don't worry about the images in the articles- they can be added later, and are a whole new bag of complicated procedures. When linking to other articles on Wikipedia, you place square brackets around the exact title of the page- for instance, [[heavy metal music]] shows up as heavy metal music. Alternatively, if you want to link to a page but not use the title, you can use a piped link- so, [[heavy metal music|metal]] shows up as metal. Citing sources is important, and it is explained in detail here. I'm currently on a rather poor Internet connection, so can't give you much help right now- I will get back in contact as soon as I have a decent connection again- shouldn't be too long at all.
