Tip of the day...

Search Wikipedia from any website

This is an oldie but goodie, that for sure works in Firefox...

It's a bookmarklet that sits on your toolbar, and which serves as a Wikipedia search button that you can activate from any web page. The next time you want to look something up on Wikipedia while browsing a web-page, highlight the term and then click on your new bookmarklet.

Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion

Hello, I'm J. M.. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

@J. M.: Sadly, I have no idea what you are referring to. However, I can't imagine I was being particularly promotional. As you've undone my contribution, no harm done! Openflyingsourcer (talk) 13:49, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Live Blog

Hello, Openflyingsourcer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Live Blog".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
