April 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Hoodie Allen may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Rubik's cube[edit]

I reverted you because you made a mess of restoring the edits you had reverted. If you just have a problem with the award why don't you just delete that line and say why in the edit summary? Undoing stuff that was done months ago and mixed up with all sorts of other issues is bound to make a mess. Spinning Spark 23:56, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 26[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hoodie Allen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Riff Raff. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Monitor article[edit]

Hello, thank you for writing this article! I’m a bit concerned that this zine might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a newspaper or publication on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like books and newspapers. (Those are links to guides explaining this in more detail.)

Are there any extra citations you can add demonstrating that it's notable? I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions about this. Blythwood (talk) 13:38, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Rapoport[edit]

Hello Bl4kers,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Adam Rapoport for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Crushed Red (November 20)[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 QuantumRealm 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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.

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:Crushed Red 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:Crushed Red, 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: Crushed Red (December 20)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

CMA New Artist of the Year[edit]

The Chicks were still known as the Dixie Chicks when they won the then-Horizon Award at the CMAs in 1998; they did not drop “Dixie” from their name until 2020. So for chronological reasons, “Dixie Chicks” is the name we have to go by. Zredman (talk) 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
