Tips on creating articles Hey there Thanks for the message that you left on my talk page last week That was very sweet I m happy to be Wiki friends with you and it s great to see that you ve already created your first article Let me share a few things that you ll want to keep in mind as you edit All information that s added to Wikipedia requires referencing without this additions are likely to be removed You might want to take another brief look at the page Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information but even more helpful to you right now are going to be the pages WP Notability and WP Identifying reliable sources As I touched on earlier just because something is true doesn t necessarily mean that it s notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia The way that we determine the notability of a topic is by seeing whether any reliable sources have written about it So to keep Mission 4Count from being deleted what we re going to have to do is to illustrate that the topic meets Wikipedia s notability criteria It might seem kind of strange to you that a professionally made television series airing on TeenNick isn t automatically deemed notable But the thing to keep in mind is that there are all kinds of online databases for finding the simple basics about a TV show If someone wanted to say find out who voices Patrick Star then they could go to IMDB and see that it s Bill Faggerbakke Information presented on Wikipedia though needs to be encyclopedic meaning that we should be able to go more into a certain amount of depth about things And if we can t go in depth about a topic then it might not belong here But don t worry Articles about TV shows typically have no real trouble meeting the notability criteria It s just that we have to find proof Sometimes this can be a little tricky but it s always a good idea to start with a simple Google search Now remember that I said reliable references One of the first search results that I get for Mission 4Count is from IMDB does IMDB count as reliable Well take a look at the page that I linked to above on identifying reliable sources You ll see down in this section that IMDB does not in fact meet our definition of a reliable reference even though the website can certainly be quite handy at times You ll also see websites like Twitter Facebook and YouTube show up on the first page of Google search results Generally none of these would be considered reliable either What we need are news articles interviews behind the scenes videos etc anything that comes from a professional publication One of the best ways to find references like this is to do a Google News search If you ve never done this before then simply enter something into the Google search bar and then right underneath that you should see the word Web underlined and highlighted in red Three spaces to the right of this you ll see the word News click on that Now you should be receiving search results that come exclusively from news websites Since Mission 4Count is still a fairly new series there aren t a whole lot of news articles that have been written about it yet This could potentially pose a problem for giving the series an entire Wikipedia article of its own But if your Google News search results page looks the same as mine then you should be seeing five different articles about Mission 4Count right at the top This is definitely enough to say something about the series on Wikipedia even if it has to be on another page like List of programs broadcast by TeenNick for example I think that it should be fine to keep the standalone article though And if for whatever reason somebody objects then all we have to do is wait a little while until more news article are written about the series which shouldn t take long at all I don t want to hit you with too much information all at once and I ve got a few other things that I have to take care of tonight so I m going to leave things at that for now Reply once you ve read this and if you are interested I ll explain how to actually add those news articles as references Or you can look around on your own and try to figure things out if you want Either way good job on creating your first article and thanks for your contributions
