Your suggestions ("About Time")

Hello,

Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback was the wrong place for your suggestions - I've moved them to the policy discussion area.

Your contributed article, Providence Huskies

edit
 

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Providence Huskies. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_season#1937_Los_Angeles_Bulldogs. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_season#1937_Los_Angeles_Bulldogs – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Cult of Green (talk) 06:27, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply


Well the reason for it is that it is a separate football team and not the L.A. Bulldogs. It's kinda like having a page for the Atlanta Falcons football team and deleting it because they're mentioned on a page with the New Orleans Saints Armorbeast (talk) 04:59, 2 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Flat Out (talk) 05:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: John Sargent Pillsbury Sr. (August 21)

edit
 
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chetsford was:  The comment the reviewer left was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Armorbeast, this member of the Pillsbury family appears to be notable and the article no longer is primarily sourced to Wikipedia. An article on John Sargent Pillsbury Jr. was the subject of an attempt to delete, and other family members with articles are Charles Alfred Pillsbury and George A. Pillsbury. Please continue to improve this article. It would help if you would learn how to cite sources with titles, etc., rather than just bare urls.

Hello, Armorbeast! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Chetsford (talk) 04:50, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

September 2018

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. Jac16888 Talk 17:19, 7 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Jac16888 as I was wondering about that but could not find it stated anywhere not to do it. I see it says sign your posts on talk pages but that doesn't make it much clearer on other pages. I will cease doing it now except on talk pages as now I understand the general rule.

Non-existent categories

edit

  Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Kentucky Valkyries, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:59, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dayton Koors moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Dayton Koors, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. At a minimum, the first citation is broken, so you can start by fixing that. However, you will likely need additional sources to demonstrate notability. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed, Rosguill talk 06:09, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Dayton Koors

edit
 

Hello, Armorbeast. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Dayton Koors".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:41, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
