Dia (film) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Dia (film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Kannada films of 2020, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Action and Horror (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi into Maurya (film). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

777 charlie moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, 777 charlie, has raised Sockpuppetry and/or conflict of interest suspicion as discussed at Special:PermanentLink/968184488#777_Charlie. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources; see WP:42. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace to enforce an independent review. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Balaji Manohar
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Balaji Manohar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. A. Shohag 07:08, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Article Balaji_Manohar
[edit]The article you just created about an living people doesn't have enough verifiable sources. The 'Times of India' is a reliable source but the refereed pages are not verifiable. So I nominated it for deletion. If you think I did wrong, then talk. Thanks. A. Shohag 07:11, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

The article Petromax (2021 film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non notable future film, created too early fails WP:NFF. Should have been drafted until release.
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}}

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Tagging pages for deletion
[edit]Hello, Playlikeastar,
Just a reminder that any time you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/CFD/TFD/etc.), you need to inform the page creator of this tagging. You should also mention the deletion tagging in the edit summary. I recommend you use Twinkle because the program will automatically post a talk page notice when you tag a page for deletion after you set up your Preferences to "Notify creator". Please try to do this consistently, editors need to know when and why their page creations have been tagged for deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 03:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Please do not edit pages in a user's private space. Of course it is an orphan, uncategorized, & without sources. This is one of several drafts in my private user space that is not intended for public use. Because of your unwanted edits I have lost information I had spent a couple of hours work collecting & correcting material. And due to demands on my time as a parent & holding down a full time job, I don't know when I'll be able to recover the information you caused me to lose. -- llywrch (talk) 07:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello Playlikeastar,
Thank you for your edits. You added “orphan tag” to article Alexey Vaulin. Article have sources and links, but this article is translate from Russian Wikipedia. Russian article is not a "orphan".

![Junior contributors comment completion rate across all participating Wikipedias](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png/296px-Reply_Tool_A-B_test_comment_completion.png)
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.
