Rachelle Henry Article

@DrStrauss: Thank you for your review. The request to remove Wikipedia references makes sense. I have removed and re-submitted. Msteckl (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some comments

Hello! Pertaining to your draft, you have to make sure that everything is sourced in biographies of living people. And that does mean everything. Hopefully you can fix that before the next reviewer sees it. Good luck! RileyBugz ^会話 _投稿記録 17:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to work on a new article in my sandbox, but I don't see a place to create it. I assume it has something to do with a redirect of my first article. What is my next step to clear the sandbox, keep my first article in the main space, and begin a new article?

MstecklMsteckl (talk) 19:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleared your sandbox for you. For future reference, while there was a redirect and you followed that one, at the top of the target page there was a note: "(Redirected from User:Msteckl/sandbox)" The link there brought you to the sandbox proper without again following the redirect; you could have used that to edit the sandbox and remove the redirect yourself. For an example, automobile redirects to car - if you follow the former link, you'll have the "Redirected from" note at the top of the "car" article and can follow it to the redirect at Automobile. Huon (talk) 20:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed. Msteckl (talk) 21:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.)

Scilla Andreen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added links pointing to Oscar, CES, Charles Napier, Breckenridge and Jack and Jill

Punctuation Within Quotes

I noticed you are probably unaware that Wikipedia policy specifies the use of "logical quotation" as explained in WP:LQ. Unfortunately you've made quite a few edits that are counter to that policy. I have reverted some, but you may want to consider reverting the rest of them yourself. Sorry. −hulmem (talk) 05:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the info

Grayson Thorne Kilpatrick moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Grayson Thorne Kilpatrick, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. 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. scope_creep^Talk 07:51, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022

Hello Msteckl. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Msteckl. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Msteckl|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. PRAXIDICAE🌈 23:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello PRAXIDICAE. Thank you so much for drawing attention to this policy. I am a strong proponent of maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia content. I certainly do not wish to give any impression of activity that violates Wikipedia Terms of Use. While there is no financial arrangement for my edits, I can see how the question might appear. Going forward, as you suggest, I will pass this policy on to anyone who approaches me to advise them or in any way assist with updating their articles. Instead, I will make those suggestions or proposed changes on the talk page of the article in question. Thank you again for your diligence. Msteckl (talk) 01:03, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
