The Royal Versailles Ball moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Royal Versailles Ball, 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.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

Hello, I'm Lewolka. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Royal Versailles Ball, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Lewolka (talk) 07:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 11:37, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please don't add decorative icons. They should be kept to a minimum. Thanks.

To what specifically are you referring to? Thanks OBECFM (talk) 10:15, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The British Bonapartes: Napoleon's Family in Britain. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Ermias Sahle Selassie, you may be blocked from editing. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:47, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OBECFM! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cecilia, Understood. Apologies, I did not think an additional honour or two was a major change, or something which changed the meaning of the article. Certainly I wouldn't have considered it vandalism to add something which has happended in real life. I will find more material to site as evidence for Ermias Sahle Selassie having been awarded the Hungarian Order of Merit - which actually took place last Tuesday - and will return to include this edit. Should I then mark it down as a major change to (the meaning of) the article?

Thank you for your guidance.
