Ref

They are important!

A citation is a line of text that uniquely identifies a source. For example:

MLA style

  • Ritter, Ron. The Oxford Style Manual. Oxford University Press. {{cite book}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help)2002

APA style

  • Ritter, R. (2002). The Oxford Style Manual. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-860564-1.

It allows a reader to find the source and verify that it supports material in Misplaced Pages.

Cloudbuster: Keep or redirect and merge?

The 2nd Articles for deletion discussion for Cloudbuster closed as "keep," with the note that "any merge/redirect discussions should take place at the relevant talk pages". However, the article was immediately merged and redirected into Orgone energy. The editor who participated in the discussion and then performed the merge believes that the merge/redirect is supported by consensus. I am posting this notice to the talk page of each of the editors who participated in the discussion, including the nominator, to ensure that this is the case. -- Shunpiker (talk) 18:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Tine_2.0

Re your not vote on this AfD, I've asked why you think notability is established, as if it is then I'll change my !vote - as that is my main concern (advertising can be cleaned up). I hope you don't think this is badgering of any kind. Thanks, Verbal chat 08:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I read the comments and thought it was notable - Ret.Prof (talk) 19:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

List of fictional deer

I know it's somewhat silly, but I thought you might be interested to see what I've done with the article "List of fictional deer", which you helped to save from "nominated for deletion". Ironically, I had nothing to do with the article until then. I hope you enjoy it. --AuthorityTam (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I did enjoy it. - Ret.Prof (talk) 16:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ret. Prof,

!vote at AFD

Any particular reason why you !voted to "Keep" this article, simply agreeing with an obvious sockpuppet of the creator (essentially agreeing that you've heard of a non-existent album)? OhNoitsJamie 19:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

I was duped! Are you sure Boxcar was a sockpuppet? - Ret.Prof (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
