Minor edits

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Hamilton High School (Chandler, Arizona), as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:55, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, there was were some things that I thought were not organized well and introduce sources that were called literally written on the article itself. PigSkinsAndComputers (talk) 02:01, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PigSkinsAndComputers. Just for reference, this edit is probably passable as a minor edit, but this edit definitely wouldn't be. Making a mistake like this is not the kind of thing which is going to lead to an immediate WP:BLOCK or other sanction from the Wikipedia community, particularly for a new editor such as yourself, but it's the kind of mistake which should be fairly easy to avoid making by doing a quick self-check before clicking "Publish changes". There are actually some specific reasons (see WP:MINOR#Things to remember) as to why it's might be a mistake to mark edits as minor, and continuing to inappropriately do so is the kind of thing which does sometimes invite others to take a closer look at your edits in general. As long as you're careful, however, you should be OK even if you make an occasional mistake or two ; just don't make a habit of doing so. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:08, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Publish changes, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Publish changes. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 02:06, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To use this message, place {{subst:User:Shearonink/ref}} on User:talk pages when needed.

I am very aware of how the citation system works, my issue is that you made a blanket statement of this is rubbish. Now I am willing to concede the one source but I hope you will concede the city of chandler museum archives is reliable. PigSkinsAndComputers (talk) 03:28, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! PigSkinsAndComputers, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! John from Idegon (talk) 02:06, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2019

Hello. Your recent edit to Hamilton High School (Chandler, Arizona) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. John Wrenn does not have a Wikipedia article. If you think he is notable then please WP:WTAF. Don't continue to restore his entry. There was a reason that he was removed the first time. Meters (talk) 02:57, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It will be done soon. Wrenn is an important figure in high school football in Arizona. PigSkinsAndComputers (talk) 03:02, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: John Wrenn (January 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see how a high school coach would be notable (despite a brief stint in college) unless they meet WP:GNG which I cannot see in the current draft.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:John Wrenn and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:John Wrenn, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
