Overlinking[edit]

Hallo, thanks for responding to the "underlinked" tag on Nik Spatari, but please read MOS:OVERLINK to see when not to link. Common words, nationalities, etc don't need links. I've reverted your changes but will reinstate a few. Thanks. PamD 07:44, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Care needed[edit]

I just had a look at your first edit. What you "corrected" as a "spelling error" is a UK spelling: it was used in a quote from a British publication.

Never change the spelling or other wording of a quote, unless you have evidence that it has been misquoted. (If it is really badly spelled in the original you can add " [sic]" to say "Yes, that really is what they said even if it was wrong").
American English is used in articles on American topics, British on British topics, and so on. If an article is about a topic linked to no English-speaking country, the language used in the article generall reflects the choices of the first main author of the article. This is an international encyclopedia, not an American one.

There's a lot to learn about editing the encyclopedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing! PamD 11:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: FYI Brand Group (May 18)[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 Sagotreespirit 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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia is not marketing or PR: WP:IBA.

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:FYI Brand Group 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:FYI Brand Group, 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, 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.
