Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

September 2020

Hello, I'm JackintheBox. An edit you recently made to Christopher Werner 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 17:11, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits to Wikipedia pages, such as the one you made with this edit to List of Sin City characters, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 17:14, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Wilbur Soot for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wilbur Soot is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wilbur Soot until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Celestina007 (talk) 20:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages as you did with this edit to Wilbur Soot. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at 2007 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix – Doubles. 331dot (talk) 01:04, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

The Stone Independent School moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Stone Independent School does not have enough sources and citations 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. Please see the school article guidelines which describes how the content of school articles should be organized, with the aim of providing general guidance to editors. 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.

October 2020

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Wilbur Soot) for a period of 1 week for removal of an Articles for Deletion tag from an article, which interferes with community processes. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  331dot (talk) 10:54, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Removing the Articles for Deletion notice from the article does not halt the discussion, but it does interfere with community processes. You are still free to edit other articles, but I suggest that you heed the advice you are being given on this page. 331dot (talk) 10:55, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi RetroBreads! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 12:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:The Stone Independent School

Hello, RetroBreads. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:The Stone Independent School, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:03, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:The Stone Independent School

Hello, RetroBreads. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The Stone Independent School".

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.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! --Ferien (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Stubs

Thank you for your recent edit to Police Spy 77, but please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article which already has a specific stub tag, and remember that all stub tags go at the foot of the article, not the top - see WP:ORDER. Thanks. PamD 06:55, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Also Marcello Agnoletto and Skrzydlewo. PamD 07:00, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
