Your submission at Articles for creation: Star Wars: Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (Novel) (September 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AviationFreak was:

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. 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:

Does not appear to meet WP:NBOOK.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Star Wars: Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (Novel) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Star Wars: Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (Novel), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Star Wars: Battlefront II: Inferno Squad (Novel) (October 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ReaderofthePack was:

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. 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:

Reviews from social media sites like Goodreads and Google reviews don't count towards notability. Notability can only be established via things like reviews in newspapers and media outlets like the New York Times or Mashable. Basically, none of the reviews in the reception section are usable and there's nothing else here to help establish how this passes WP:NBOOK. To be honest, it's really difficult for many books to meet this, but especially when they're part of a long running book series like the Star Wars novels are. The issue is that there tends to be so many books that only a small few get enough coverage to be independently notable. It's kind of a common issue with series in general. I'd hit up the Star Wars WikiProject (WP:STARWARS) for help in finding sources for this, since they'd know where best to look.

Thank you

Thank you for the barnstar! :) ♟♙ (talk) 18:27, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Hi there. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (books) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction before creating any more Star Wars book articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a database. Not all books warrant a devoted article: those that will never reasonably expand beyond mere plot summary and mention of online reviews (note: Goodreads and similar user-generated review sites are not considered reliable sources) can be mentioned at their author's article, or lists such as List of Star Wars books. Wikipedia is explicitly not for everything, and is not for summary-only descriptions of works. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 03:33, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:This image is a.png image of a Minecraft building block of grass.png

Thanks for uploading File:This image is a.png image of a Minecraft building block of grass.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements

Hi! Why did you start the process of nominating "List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements" for deletion? You didn't actually create an AfD subpage with your reasoning, and an AfD seems highly unlikely to succeed. ST47 (talk) 23:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On the off-chance that you were serious, please see the following warning about articles related to american politics. ST47 (talk) 01:19, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
