American lion

The article American lion exists, and holds the postition that the species became extinct more than 10,000 years ago. David notMD (talk) 03:35, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very common misconception. There are existing populations in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Dentsan (talk) 23:57, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023

Hello, I'm Manticore. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Montana, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Manticore 22:41, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Montana. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Meters (talk) 21:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:North American Lion

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Draft:North American Lion, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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.
