[edit] Deletion

It's the largest religion group dedicated to non-theism on the internet's largest social networking site, and it's beginning to get some academic recognition, so I hope it makes the cut as far as not getting speedy deletion.````Hox —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hox memeplex (talk • contribs) 21:54, March 16, 2007

The Group is back up!

Update: 2/1/8, 2:30 p.m. Est. Group Restored! (though regulars appear to still be banned). No one at myspace has contacted me, but someone obviously got the group back. Thanks to all, and myspace. I hope the group can live up to expectations given the strong community support we got re all this.^[1]

When I try to edit the references section, it comes up blank, leaving me no example. I left a link in the section above, can somebody help? ````hox —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hox memeplex (talk • contribs) 15:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

It looks like you are trying to create an inline reference. See WP:Footnotes and HELP:Footnotes. You use the <ref> tag in or at the end of the sentence you want to be footnoted. Example: <ref>[myurl.com mytitle goes here]</ref> --George100 (talk) 17:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The sentence to be footnoted is important also. It seems the editor was just trying to add a link to a video feed. No reference should be added like that without it actually referencing some comment in the article. I'd suggest listening to the video feed and if appropriate quoting from it then applying the ref link as suggested. I went to check the video but was prompted to download a new flash player so I can view it, but I can't be bothered doing the download. Never the less the link (and many others I've seen since) show how this story has spread. Well done to all who helped this article to be kept. Sting au Buzz Me... 22:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
