  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:17, 30 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Talk pages

edit

Hello Tefo.Steven. Talk pages are meant for notification and communication with other Wikipedia editors. Article talk pages are meant for discussion about ways to improve or fix issues with the article associated with it. User talk pages, like this one, are meant for notification and discussion about edits you have made, or topics that may be of interest to you.

I deleted the content you posted to this page, because it is contrary to its purpose. Your user page (User:Tefo.Steven) is an appropriate place to write a small amount of biographical information about yourself. However, be mindful to stay within Wikipedia's userpage guidelines. A userpage is not meant to be a personal website, blog, resumé, social media page, or other place to post excessive amounts of unencyclopedic content.

This message is not intended to discourage you from editing, but rather to inform you of some of Wikipedia's many policies and guidelines. Please don't hesitate to ask me or other experienced editors at the Teahouse or help desk for guidance. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:31, 30 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

COSAS moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, COSAS, 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. 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.

A tag has been placed on THE STATE OF THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

U5 essay in mainspace

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your draft article, Draft:COSAS

edit
 

Hello, Tefo.Steven. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "COSAS".

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 edit the submission 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! CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:54, 18 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
