I've just edited your article at MCI Screen. The problem was rather technical -- references need to start with a ref tag and end with one too. If you look just below the space where you are creating a page, adding a comment, etc., you'll see a section titled "Wiki markup". If you click on the "open and close ref tags", that will insert the correct tags right into your page -- then you can insert the reference source in between. Immediately after the ref tags you'll find the ((Reflist)) tag, which you add at the end and Wikipedia automatically adds your references at the bottom of the article. I hope this helps you -- if you have any questions, I'll try to be of further assistance if you leave a note on my talk page. Accounting4Taste 23:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can also use the "Edit this page" link at the left side of MCI Screen to see exactly what I did with the ref tags, if that helps. Accounting4Taste 23:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A few more hints -- it's helpful to others if you make a note in the edit summary of what you're doing to an article. Similarly, it's unhelpful to others if you make a change, save it, make a change, save it -- that clogs the records. You may want to use the "Show preview" button to be sure your changes are working the way you wanted, then move on to the next and save them all at once. And finally, you have mastered the "pipe trick", but you don't always need it: if you "edit this page" and examine the code in this sentence, you will see that Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease take you to the same place. It's only when you want to refer someone to a page that is merely suggested by the word you need to use, like whether a topic is notable, that you need the pipe trick. Hope this helps, and hope you're enjoying Wikipedia! Accounting4Taste 23:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spam in Medical Care Corporation

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Medical Care Corporation, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Medical Care Corporation is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Medical Care Corporation, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
