Your submission at Articles for creation: David R. Schwimmer (palaeontologist) (June 5)[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 SS49 were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 for academics). 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.

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:David R. Schwimmer (palaeontologist) 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:David R. Schwimmer (palaeontologist), 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.

June 2020[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Martin Ezcurra does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Automated taxoboxes[edit]

Hi, there are two common patterns for automated taxoboxes.

For a genus with multiple species, use:

{{Automatic taxobox
| taxon = GENUS
| authority = AUTHORITY
}}

See, e.g., Fabrosaurus. Note that the parameter must be |taxon=, not |genus=.

For a genus with a single species, you can use:

{{Speciesbox
| genus = GENUS
| parent_authority = GENUS_AUTHORITY
| species = SPECIFIC_NAME
| authority = SPECIES_AUTHORITY
}}

See, e.g., Brasileosaurus. An alternative, which some editors prefer because it uses the same parameter |taxon= as {{Automatic taxobox}} is:

{{Speciesbox
| taxon = GENUS_NAME SPECIFIC_NAME (i.e. BINOMIAL)
| parent_authority = GENUS_AUTHORITY
| authority = SPECIES_AUTHORITY
}}

You don't put the italics or extinct symbol in any of these; the italicization is automatic and the extinct symbol is added based on the taxonomy template. There's a complete guide to the automated taxobox system at WP:Automated taxobox system. Peter coxhead (talk) 05:35, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also ranks are lower-case Latin in taxonomy templates, e.g. |rank=subfamilia not |rank=subfamily. The system may appear to work with an English rank name, but not all features (e.g. consistency checks) will. Peter coxhead (talk) 05:37, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you're still creating bad taxoboxes. Please take note of what I wrote above. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:26, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Lapitavenator (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

Disambiguation link notification for June 9[edit]

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.)

Amygdalodon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added a link pointing to Chubut

Zorzino Limestone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added a link pointing to Cene

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:18, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your posts[edit]

You may well have useful articles to post here; but you will not be allowed to do so while you are blocked.. I suspect that you know this, but if you do not, please note that it you personally to whom the block applies, not any particular sockpuppet you may generate. If you genuinely want to contribute, apply for an unblock at your original username. Any article which you create while blocked will be deleted as soon as it is detected.----Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:11, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You've made quite a lot of work for me or other editors by creating bad taxoboxes. At one time, of the 8 articles then in a taxobox error-tracking category, 6 had errors caused by your edits, made after I had tried to explain what you were doing wrong. So if you do decide to return legitimately, please do so in a co-operative way, willing to learn how to do things properly. I'll be only too willing to help. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:07, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 16[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Amygdalodon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chubut (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
