If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:51, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Problem with your custom signature

edit

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Charles-Blanc Prize, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jean Stern. 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.)

This article appears to be mostly a translation of the French Wikipedia article (with one totally mangled reference which I've rescued for you). Please remember to acknowledge the original work when adding a translated article to English Wikipedia. Thanks. PamD 11:54, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

And please check your work and complete the job of translation - ref 5 is a French-language footnote, for example. Thanks. PamD 11:56, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Grand prix de philosophie moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Grand prix de philosophie, 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Wa Kamissoko

Hello, Hk5183. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Wa Kamissoko".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:50, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! I understand. I continue to believe that this article was deemed to not meet notability requirements because it is about an African from more than 40 years ago and hence it is more difficult to find published citations. But that is basically a problem of bias inherent to the medium of Encyclopedias, which rely on "trustworthy" published material (which was often scarce in many African countries before the digital era).
Regardless, I understand that policy is policy.
