In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.
Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User: ArleArt ( talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.
Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. — 72.75.72.63 ( talk) 08:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know what country you are editing from, but
http://www.cip.cu/ cannot be accessed for
Washington, D.C. using either
Mozilla Firefox or
Internet Explorer ... the purpose of the |accessdate=
field in the {{
cite web}}
and other templates is to demonstrate that the URL was valid as of a certain date, in case it should evaporate in the future, and I cannot add such a date if I cannot access the site ... I would appreciate it if Some Other Editor would confirm either access or denial from this URL. —

OK, it looks like a
DHS geographic roadblock to accessing the cite (see
Talk:Agustín Cárdenas Alfonso) ... please format the EL using the {{
cite web}}
template ... you can use some of the other articles as examples ... whenever possible, use the <title>
from the HTML file for the Web page (assuming you're an HTML
newbie):
<title>
tag</title>
end tagUsing http://www.waterholes.com/~dennette/1996/hopper/bug.htm for an example, we examine the HTML source file, and can make:
{{cite web |url= http://www.waterholes.com/~dennette/1996/hopper/bug.htm |title= The First Computer Bug! |work= WaterHoles.com |accessdate= 2008-02-04 }}
That produces:
Note: by using ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD), the MediaWiki software can automagically create links to the year and date articles ... it also avoids 02/04/08 confusion. :-)
Note: the |work=
will add the italics, and if the source publication has an article (e.g..
The New York Times for nytimes.com
), then place it in [[]]
so that it will be linked ... you'll have to research whether or not a
Spanish language publication like
El Nuevo Herald has an article.
Even though I don't read Spanish, I can take "by Jose Padilla" and make:
|first= Jose |last= Padilla
This will get displayed as Padilla, Jose in the appropriate position in the citation.
Just read the
Template:Cite web and
Template:Cite news documentation (for published articles/reviews without Web versions), and you'll figure out what else you can use ... BTW, I've never used it myself, but there's a {{
Cite press release}}
template.
Happy Editing! — 72.75.72.63 ( talk) 16:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
