August 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Massaranduba, Paraíba, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 19:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to War in Afghanistan (2001–present), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that.
Note: The title includes "2001-present" to disambiguate it from other wars that have taken place in that country. It is not a title that is to be taken so literally that you needed to gut the article of all content that refers to anything "pre-2001". I have no idea why you referred to a "sandbox" in your edit summary either. Articles, especially ones like this one, that have been built and maintained by numerous editors, do not need a new user to suddenly remove mass amounts of content based on a strict (and incorrect) interpretation of the title. In the future, please inquire about such changes on the article's talk page first. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 19:15, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chris Davis, Graphic Artist (August 27)

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

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 people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

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:Chris Davis, Graphic Artist 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:Chris Davis, Graphic Artist, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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.

Your draft article, Draft:Chris Davis, Graphic Artist

Hello, LeathD. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Chris Davis".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. DannyS712 (talk) 01:21, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
