Adding references

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you added information to Mike Shinoda and stated in your edit summary that you don't know how to add references to Wikipedia. I removed the information because it doesn't seem to be note worthy. I do want to help you learn how to add references. It is easy once you get the hang of it. Here is an example of common citation parameters with information from the article (please note that the format, order, and names of the parameters can vary but this is generally what you'll need): |first=|last=|url=|title=|work=|date=|access-date=

The reference should start and end with ref templates. The first one goes at the start of the reference before the parameters and the second goes at the end. These two templates are listed below: <ref> </ref>

Then, just add information after each respective equal sign. The first and last parameters refer to the first and last name of the author. If any information isn't available in the article, like the author for example, then you don't need to include the parameter. Feel free to copy and paste another reference in the article and replace that references information to the information from the article you are using. Some citations may be missing parameters so be sure to add them as needed. Please refrain from adding bare references (just the URL). Many citations will also have archive URL and date parameters. Those are used to archive the URL using the Way back Machine mainly of the original articles url is dead and we need an old screen shot. This isn't required if the source URL is still live, but is recommended. As long as your source's is still working, I wouldn't worry about it. I hope this helps. I am terrible at explaining things, but I tried to best to make it as clear as possible. See: Wikipedia:Citation templates for more information if you are still confused. Good luck and I hope this helps you with adding information. I was confused when I started and now it is super easy. Bowling is life (talk) 21:57, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NSONG - YouTube is not an acceptable or reliable source.

However, the image is currently 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. 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 our policy for non-free media).

Proposed deletion of List of songs playable in Fortnite Festival

The article List of songs playable in Fortnite Festival has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There are no sources to support the list of songs in Festival (compared to other rhythm games where the soundtracks were supported by sources). This thus fails WP:GAMEGUIDE

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
