Hi, I am creating a Wikipedia page and have a question about creating footnotes. Most of the ones I've made look fine, but a few have this: Check date values in: |access-date= (help) The dates are spelled correctly so I'm not understanding the issue.

Please help me with...

@Zppix: no, I didn't use that. I just added the information by going to the templates, cite web and then insert the information. Most of the sources look fine, but a few show that warning in red that there is something wrong with date. CJM123 (talk) 21:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "access date" parameter is meant for the date when the linked web page was accessed and found to display the content we want to cite. For some of the sources that date is in the 1980s or 1990s, or when there is no web page linked to at all. I rather doubt websites existed back then, making the accessdate nonsensical. If you want to provide the date a source is written, the parameter is merely "date" (maybe you'll need to check the "extra fields" to find that parameter).

Hello, I recently added a couple references to Wikipedia pages today, but now that I view them, I don't see the edits I made. Can you provide me with some information on that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJM123 (talk • contribs) 01:37, January 22, 2019 (UTC)

Let me be blunt here: You were adding linkspam, lots of links to the same website even if they contributed little or nothing to the article you added them to. Wikipedia does not look kindly on spam, including this kind. Huon (talk) 00:31, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Larry Rand (October 21)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There is no inherited notability from anyone or anything else and there's currently nothing suggesting a confident acceptance with both independent notability and substance.

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:Larry Rand and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
