Disambiguation link notification for May 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Albanians in Chicago, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arlington Heights. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:53, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
2024 San Francisco arson of Black family's house moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, 2024 San Francisco arson of Black family's house, 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.

The article 2024 Round Rock Juneteenth shooting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Lack of notability, appears to suffer from issues related to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#NEWS and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People notable for only one event. See talk page.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Raskuly (talk) 15:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
- Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons.
