I noticed that you created the page SMK Semera -- Thanks for Contributing! -- I wanted to mention that if you leave the page with only one line of content, it is likely to be deleted according to the Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion. Adding a few wikilinks will likely remove this threat.

Thanks and Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Re: Help

In order to improve it you need to find outside sources that state the subjects notability. It also helps if you add links to the article. (PS, Thanks for choosing me to help you, any reason why you choose me?) The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

To create a user page, just edit the tab on the upper left that is red and says "User page". And sure, Everyone is a friend on the wiki? The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Barnstars are ginen to yo uby other users to commend the good work you have done. Also, dont add the helpme template to my talk page, that adds me to a category that I need help, when it is not the case. The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

SMK Semera

You need to find reliable sources (see WP:RS) that discuss the school. You haven't even given us a location or what grade levels the school teaches. These a minimum criteria for inclusion. See WP:N & WP:V. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

You seem to be under a misapprehension about this template. If you want to talk to a specific user, to ask for help or otherwise, then just leave a note on that user's talk page, as you did on User talk:Carlossuarez46. They'll be notified they have messages the next time they log on. If you want help and don't care who gives it, you can edit your own talk page (i.e. this page), explaining what your problem is and using the tag {{helpme}}. This will put your name on a list of people who need help, and someone should quickly come to your assistance. Happy editing! Algebraist 03:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Admins

Hi Mark, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I did a small amount of editing to the SMK Semera article you started, mainly yo point out the specific places where you need to provide proper sources for the information in the article. One small matter: I note you are referring to yourself as a "new admin". On Misplaced Pages, administrators are experienced users who have a few extra responsibilities. Most users, like yourself, are editors. Its generally not a good idea to claim you are an admin here unless you are one: it could mislead other editors. Anyway, good luck and let me know if there are other questions I can help you with, Gwernol 03:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Help Needed!

I am Mark and i had created a page - SMK Semera but i don't know how to add a reference and there are so many template. The references are: 1.Asajaya/http:en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Asajaya

2.SMK Semera School Magazine

3.SMK Semera diary

4.Mr. Longgo bin Mohammad

I hope someone can help me out. Can you teach me how to give barnstars?

--Mark Chung (talk) 00:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark, I suggest you start by reading Misplaced Pages:Citing sources which is gives you instructions about how and why to source articles. Its rather long, but there is a lot of good information there. Please be aware though that several of your proposed sources are not appropriate for Misplaced Pages articles. All sources must be verifiable which means that personal recollections by you or anyone else (e.g. Mr. bin Mohammad) cannot be used as sources. Ironically Misplaced Pages articles also cannot be used as sources, since they can be edited by anyone. The SMK Semera school magazine probably is a reliable source, as long as it has been published and copies are available to anyone to read.
For information about giving barnstars, see Misplaced Pages:Barnstars. Best, Gwernol 00:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
