<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to the [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]]!'''</big> 
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been [[WP:AFD|tagged for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

* Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:V|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as [[WP:Bite|"bitey"]]. Encourage [[WP:Civil|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].

* Our primary work is improving [[:Category:Articles tagged for deletion and rescue|articles tagged for rescue]]. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|our current articles page]]. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

==Add a template?==
You may want to add a click here to add a message template, as I have on my talk page:

<div class="plainlinks" style="font-size: 120%; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: 1px solid #6688AA; background: #E9ECFF; text-align: center">
'''[{{fullurl:User talk:Havok|action=edit&section=new}} Click here to leave me a message]'''</div>

coding:

{{Template:Pre2|<nowiki> 
<div class="plainlinks" style="font-size: 120%; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: 1px solid #6688AA; background: #E9ECFF; text-align: center">
'''[{{fullurl:User talk:Havok|action=edit&section=new}} Click here to leave me a message]'''</div></nowiki>
</nowiki>}}

it is rather confusing when an editor comes to your talk page and only sees three boxes, and no previous comments. [[User:Ikip|Ikip]] ([[User talk:Ikip|talk]]) 17:13, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

== Question regarding external links ==

Hi, Havok. I've noticed that you have considerable experience with external links, so I'd like to solicit your advice regarding another editor's question on external links.
The editor's concern regards external links and references linking to PolitickerNJ.com, a reliable, well-established online news source focusing on New Jersey politics. The editor has posted his concerns at [[Talk:New Jersey gubernatorial election, 2009#Malware Link?]], but be advised that this website is linked to/referenced not just at [[New Jersey gubernatorial election, 2009]] but at numerous other articles. Here's the user's message:
<blockquote>The referenced website has been flagged by McAfee "Site Advisor" as a possible trojan distributor (IRC/Flood trojan). I'm unsure of Wikipedia policy/process as to the display of suspect links as sources both within an article and in its history and am soliciting comments from anyone versed in dealing with this type of issue.</blockquote>
Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, [[User:A Stop at Willoughby|A Stop at Willoughby]] ([[User talk:A Stop at Willoughby|talk]]) 15:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the image on [[Nintendo DSi]]. However, if you plan to upload similar images in the future, make sure no copyrighted material is on-screen. Thanks again! [[User:FullMetal Falcon/FMF|'''<span style="color:#666666;">«&nbsp;₣M₣&nbsp;»</span>''']] 00:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

<span style="font-size:32px; line-height:1em">'''[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|left|&#x26A0;]]'''</span> Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:We Love Katamari OST.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:MyContributions|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Classes in World of Warcraft]] ==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Classes in World of Warcraft]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Classic example of an article that violates [[wp:GAMEGUIDE]]. This type of information belogns on the official site, not on wikipedia'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Classes in World of Warcraft|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> '''Yoenit''' ([[user talk:Yoenit|talk]]) 21:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
== Nomination of [[Classes in World of Warcraft]] for deletion ==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|42px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[Classes in World of Warcraft]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Classes in World of Warcraft(2nd nomination)]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.  However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. '''Yoenit''' ([[user talk:Yoenit|talk]]) 21:58, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

==Non-free rationale for File:ToTheGame.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:ToTheGame.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]], but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to [[:File:ToTheGame.jpg|the file description page]], and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free rationale]].

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Havok|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].
