I did what I could for your article on Dr. Johannes Maas. Most importantly, I placed tags on its talk page which will bring it to the attention of the relevant Wikiprojects, which means experienced editors in the WP:Christianity and WP:Biography will be able to find the article and help you improve it.CindyBo ^talk 22:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

Which makes this automatically

Neat eh? As you browse through the help pages, listed above, you'll soon find that it is not as intimidating as it looks.

What really helps is to look at other articles in wikipedia. Don't be afraid to hit the edit buton and look at how they are written. As long as you don't hit the Save button, nothing will change. Take a look at Mother Theresa for example. It's a good one to look at, because it is a WP:GA, which means it is a good article has been worked on by experienced editors and has lots of sources and good information.

Furthermore, don't be afraid to ask around for help. Everyone here was new once.CindyBo ^talk 07:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

==Johannes Maas==

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Johannes Maas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. quite apart from the reference problem, there is no indication of just what he did that was notable' DGG (talk) 08:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Mother Teresa and Dr. Johannes Maas.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mother Teresa and Dr. Johannes Maas.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

-== Hello ==
-Hi Carol,
-Me again. I read your user page and I'll see if I can help you address your concerns. The number one problem with the [[Dr. Johannes Maas]] article, as you've noted is that it is unsourced. Wikipedia has lots of help pages and for this you can read [[WP:CITE]].
-However, I know how hard it can be at first to wallow through all those help pages so I'll try and summarize one easy way for you to cite a source.
-For one thing, your website mentioned in the article is a source, but it cannot be the only source, as that is a [[WP:Conflict of interest]] and is generally frowned upon. What you need to find are other reliable sources. You mentioned that he was featured in the ''Pitt Homecoming Magazine''. That is a good source. Are there other articles on him in newpapers, books or online? You need to find sources for what you are putting in the article. He met Mother Theresa? Find a source that says so and put it in the article. Here's how:
-Step one: one way to cite a souce like that magazine is to use tags like <nowiki><ref>''Pitt Homecoming Magazine'' Spring 2006 Page??</ref></nowiki>
-Typing that will create a footnote like this.<ref>''Pitt Homecoming Magazine'' Spring 2006 Page??</ref>
-So let's say the magazine says that he met Mother Theresa. We can put that reference right after that sentence in the article.
-Step 2:
-To make those footnotes show up in the article you have to have a Notes section like this:
