If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Warden, Barsetshire Tower, Doctor Thorne, Framely Parsonage, The Small House at Allington, The Last Chronicle of Barset, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- Hi BjL1504. I have deleted this article under the WP:G2 criterion for speedy deletion instead of the WP:G1 criterion, as it simply listed the Chronicles of Barsetshire novels. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:34, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Shirt58. Thanks for doing that, I created that page accidentally as I was trying to format my infobox. Cheers, Ben - BjL1504 (talk) 09:52, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Missing cite in Chronicles of Barsetshire
editThe article cites "Ousby 1995" but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]] to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Renata, thanks so much for your input. The 'Ousby 1995' reference was used by the previous editor of this page. I have tried to find the citations but couldn't seem to find it, so have replaced that reference with a source which provides the same information. Regarding your suggestions to upload the script to my common.js, I am fairly new on Wikipedia so am not exactly sure how to do this. I attempted to add the code to my User page, but it didn't seem right. Any advice would be much appreciated BjL1504 (talk) 02:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Do you need help with importing a script?
editI notice that you made this edit, followed by this edit, to your user page. Forgive me for prying, but I've been here a long time, and I'm quite familiar with writing and implementing scripts like these. Just respond here (make sure to ping me by adding {{ping|Oshwah}} to the beginning of your response), or go here to leave me a message. I'll be happy to help you if you'd like me to. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Oshwah, thanks so much for your offer. I was trying to respond to the comment above, which suggested I add the given script to my common.js page. I am not entirely sure what a common.js page is, and when I attempted to add the script onto it, nothing really seemed to happy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

- Sure, I'll be happy to help. Your common.js page is simply a subpage of your user page (User:BjL1504), which is located at User:BjL1504/common.js. I happen to be an interface administrator, which allows me to edit the .js pages of other users in order to help them. :-) I went ahead and added that script for you so that you can see exactly what you need to do in the future if you wish to add more. There are a number of .js pages; if you go to your preferences and click on the "appearance" tab, at the top, you'll see a number of different skins that you can choose from that change how Wikipedia looks to you (the default is "vector"). For each skin that's available, there's also a .js page with that same name that you can put scripts into (for example. User:BjL1504/vector.js). If you put a skin into your "vector.js" page, that script will only work while you're using that skin. The "common.js" page allows you to put scripts in that will work for any skin that you use. That's how they work in a nutshell. :-) If you have any more questions, or if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. You can do so at any time by clicking here to leave me a message. I'll be more than happy to give you a hand with anything that you need. :-D Best - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
