Is this how I reply? Capt. Wild Bill (talk) 01:10, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed dates in references

Hi Capt. Wild Bill! We spoke earlier on IRC, my nick there is 'Waggie'. I took the liberty of fixing the dates in your references. Please take note of the date format I used so you can remember for future references. It's a pretty flexible field, but I think it didn't like the abbreviations of the months. Chrisw80 (talk) 03:11, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Waggie, you are a true angel of mercy. Capt. Wild Bill (talk) 01:11, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Waggie, would you mind terribly checking the date on footnote four of my proposed article? I entered the date in the specified format, but got an error message. Oddly, when I used the same format in a different footnote, no problem. Thank you much, I know it's just a getting used to the system thing. Capt. Wild Bill (talk) 02:58, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Okey, dokey. Back to the drawing board! Capt. Wild Bill (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The best place to respond would probably be on the talk page. When you're in the article, you click on 'Talk' at the top and it will take you to a page for discussion about the article. When there, check for a section about what you want to respond to and add your comments there first. If there is no section about what you want to talk about, click 'New Section' at the top and then add the subject, and then your comments. Don't forget to sign your comments by placing ~~~~ at the end of your comment. Also, please remember to never delete the comments from anyone else. Please read this for more information about Talk Pages. Chrisw80 (talk) 18:26, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is currently only a business PR listing and none of it satisfies our policies at all since it's not significant.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cowboy Lawyers Association (January 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Clear advertising since it only advertises what they would say to clients.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Capt. Wild Bill/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Capt. Wild Bill/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It is a draft which has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 removed 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. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 17:26, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Cowboy Lawyers Association

Hello, Capt. Wild Bill. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cowboy Lawyers Association".

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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 11:50, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
