November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. It should also be noted that the Wikipedia:External links policy deems "inappropriate" any links which are only marginally related to the high level topic, are added purely for reasons of promo, etc. You should also consider reading WP:COI, as it appears that yours is a single purpose account set up for the purposes of creating articles on and driving traffic to your website.

Anglo-Zanzibar War

Good catch on the "loyal" in that article, it came from one of my sources and I must have missed it when writing the article. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 15:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Titling pages

I've deleted the article, but it was entirely because of what you titled it. Labeling something as "British atrocities" is a point of view. It's not neutral, even if the list would include things that were done by the British that could be seen by many as an atrocity. You have to be extremely careful about how you label things. A better alternative would be to phrase it along the lines of Japanese war crimes, which gets around the word atrocity by saying that some people have described the crimes as an atrocity. Of course that type of article covers more of the later acts, but it's an example of a neutral title for actions that are seen as horrific to many.

You had better delete this page too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_atrocities_in_Mesopotamia

Hello, I'm SkyWarrior. I noticed that you recently removed content from British Isles without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Local Ne.ws (June 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sam Sailor was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere 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, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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:The Local Ne.ws 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:The Local Ne.ws, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: John Muldoon (journalist) (February 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Twinkle1990 was:

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:John Muldoon (journalist) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.
