Hello, I'm JackintheBox. An edit you recently made to Nieuwendijk, Amsterdam seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 15:17, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your message on my talk page

Please see User talk:JackintheBox#Walewijn van der Veen for my reply, and don't hesitate to leave me more messages! JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 12:43, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, when replying to other users on pages other than their own talk page, use the Template:Reply to to notify them of your message (users get notified whenever someone edits their talk page). For instance, if you want me to see your message on this page, add {{ping|JackintheBox}} before your message. This produces '@JackintheBox:'. 'Ping' could be replaced by 'reply', 'reply to' (or 'replyto'), 're', or 'yo' and they would all work the same. You could also use {{u|JackintheBox}} to 'refer to me' within your message, without the @ sign or colon. For example you could write 'Hello, JackintheBox, and good day!'

Your submission at Articles for creation: Walewijn van der Veen (September 1)

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

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 and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Simply being a court official is not sufficient to satisfy WP:BIO. Where are his notable accomplishments while in office?

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:Walewijn van der Veen 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:Walewijn van der Veen, 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 do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Wikipedia sticks to mainstream academic and journalistic sources

I have reverted your edits at Waldensians because they're based on a 19th century sectarian revisionist history instead of:

what the Waldensians themselves have said about their movement,
what secular (and by no means Catholic) historians have found in their research about the movement.

Hello, I'm Valereee. I noticed that you recently removed content from George Floyd 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. —valereee (talk) 21:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

Your signature needs to contain links as required by WP:SIGLINK. I guess that in trying to customise your signature you mistakenly checked the "Treat the above as wiki markup" box at Special:Preferences. --David Biddulph (talk) 09:31, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your email

Thanks for your personal email about my deletion of the unused redirect. You're welcome - it's easy to make simple mistakes like that at first, so we're here as admins to help out or to clear up. We don't really use the 'email this user' function to message people, unless it really needs to be kept confidential - it's far better to leave them a user a note on their userpage. Or, for some edits (but not deletions), you can find the relevant edit in the 'View History' tab and click the 'thank' link to send the editor an automated notification. I use it quite a bit to acknowledge that I liked what someone had done, without actually having to go to the effort of writing them an actual message.

By the way did you manage to get your signature sorted out? If you're not sure, just reply here and sign with four tilde characters (~) and I'll give you feedback as to whether it's working ok. Nick Moyes (talk) 14:43, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! Hope my signature works.

User talk:Vedlagt 18:47, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nope - still faulty, and not following our requirements. Simply go to Special:Preferences and at the frist tab, scroll down and uncheck (i.e. clear) the tick mox which says "Treat the above as wiki markup." Just put in your username, and it should appear corerectly when you type four keyboard tildes, like this: ~~~~

It should then appear exactly like mine, which is also unadorned with irrelvant markup, and should hyperlink to your userpage and/or your talk page: Nick Moyes (talk) 19:43, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help and patience. Vedlagt (talk) 20:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, that did it! Well done. Remember to sign on the same line, not separately, and to indent with one extra colon when you reply to someone else. If you want, you can also practice pinging me from here. I'll let you know if I receive it. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:17, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My article deletion

You left an Edit summary, but have not yet reversed my deletion of family members. If you intend to restore that content I will not contend. David notMD (talk) 16:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

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 and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has been resubmitted without any visible improvement, or with very little improvement. If you do not know what is needed to improve this draft, please ask for advice rather than making minor improvements and resubmitting.

You may ask for advice on how to improve this draft at the Teahouse or on the talk pages of any of the declining reviewers. (The declining reviewers may advise you to ask for advice at the Teahouse.)

If this draft is resubmitted without any improvement or with very little improvement again, it is likely to be rejected, and it may be nominated for deletion, or a topic-ban may even be requested against further submission by the responsible editor.

This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that the appropriate notability criterion is satisfied. In particular, this draft does not appear to indicate that WP:NBIO is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NBIO for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

This draft has been declined because of notability concerns. This draft should be resubmitted by addressing the notability concerns in AFC comments or on the talk page of the draft. Do not resubmit this draft without explaining how it satisfies a notability criterion. Do not simply add references, or make minor changes, without explaining how it satisfies a notability criterion.

This does not mean that the subject of the draft has been found not to be notable. It does mean that this draft, as written, does not establish notability. Notability should be established in the text of the draft, as well as by references.

You may ask for advice about the notability criteria at the Teahouse.

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.

(To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:34, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

article is well sourced, but notability needs to be shown. IMHO, subject is notable amongst a group, not as a separate article.

File copyright problem with File:A portrait of Lieutenant John McGavock Grider. The image was probably taken in April or May 1918. (Courtesy, The Springs Close Family Archives, Fort Mill, SC).jpg

Thank you for uploading File:A portrait of Lieutenant John McGavock Grider. The image was probably taken in April or May 1918. (Courtesy, The Springs Close Family Archives, Fort Mill, SC).jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 09:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
