Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chick Corea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southern Italian. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Hallo, Thank you for creating Lincoln Perry (artist). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Lincoln Perry), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find the new article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 23:36, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shoot Yourself moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Shoot Yourself, is not suitable 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.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Jklamo (talk) 00:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Scott Schutzman

The article Scott Schutzman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only three of the six sources are reliable, and those that are only refer to the subject at "Scott Tiler", not the appellation where it currently sits. I've not found any further reliable sources to establish either notability nor the other claims in the article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 22:44, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Benedetto Robazza. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Umpteenth request

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! O'Dea (talk) 10:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you repeatedly ignore requests? It's rude

Hi Strattonsmith.

Numerous editors have pointed out to you for the past two years the necessity of using edit summaries for each of your edits but you have ignored these requests – as many as eight requests in total!

Your edit history shows that you provide a summary for only 1.3% of your edits, which is not just a poor record, but discourteous to other editors.

It would be appreciated if you would take a few seconds to describe your edits in the summary box provided. Thank you. O'Dea (talk) 10:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Strattonsmith!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Joel Sanders moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Joel Sanders. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC) I appreciate your bringing to my attention the deficincies in the article, however I believe they are easily solved adding the New York Times and Architectural Digest references and materials. I think that you could have allowed more time to adrress, therein rather easily attended to with getting to the crux of the issues his architecture and proposals deal with. To put it four months hence for review is sort of unfair. Could you please look at at and see if is improved enough now or what it still requires for publishing. Thank you so much for your consideration.Strattonsmith (talk) 20:43, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Strattonsmith, thanks for pinging me. The article is a WP:BLP and as such require you to follow the policies at WP:BLP. The article is currently not in a state where it can remain in mainspace that’s why I moved it to draft so that you can fix things up before and taking it through the AFC process. The sources doesn’t establish the notability of the subject, add ore reliable sources to the article if possible and if you can find any. I’m just trying to assist you so that the article won’t get nominated for deletion, but welp, it will end up there if the subject of the article is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry. Regards! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources do establish it now look back at it. I have created a hundred and thirty articles and must know something instead of working on it with me you have constructed a giant time delay bureaucratic obstacle.@Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC). ~~↔↔[reply]

Hi, allow an AfC reviewer to review the article. Do not be offended because it was moved to draft. I have explained why I moved it already @Strattonsmith. Take a look at each sources cited and see that they are majorly passing mentions and not really a SIGCOV. Also, the references are not well formatted, try and fix that by using appropriate citation templates. I am helping and not constructing "a giant time delay bureaucratic obstacle". Regards. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are not passing mentions the New York Times and Architectural Digest. It is a ridiculous move for problems that could have been addressed. You could have addressed these issues in regular space and had me address them. I dont plan to spend the rest of my existence on here arguing with people who insist that they are right at all costs. Like McDunslds have it your way tats Strattonsmith (talk) 17:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You’re trying by all means to turn this into an argument and it seems you enjoy it. Well, this is my last comment regarding this draft, let AFC reviewers do their job. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:36, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Joel Sanders has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Joel Sanders. Thanks! Hoary (talk) 04:58, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joel Sanders (November 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 WikiOriginal-9 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:

Not enough significant, independent coverage. Not very many citations on Google Scholar.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Joel Sanders and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Henry Kissinger, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read MOS:NC-CN. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reference formatting

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 00:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ozawa

Thank you for copy-editing Seiji Ozawa. I reverted some with explanations, and wonder if you found those, because you did the same even afterwards. Quite generally, in classical music, especially opera: when a piece has a link (Ninth Symphony, Swan Lake), there's no need to link to the composer whose biography is not relevant to the conductor's. Those who really don't know Beethoven can be sure to find a link in the symphony's article. - Happy editing, thanks for your help! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bare references

I have a feeling you are going to ignore this as you have ignored all similar requests on your talk page, but I want to ask this in good faith. Can you please stop using simple bare urls ("< ref > www.citation.com < / ref >") to reference citations in your edits and additions to articles? You are creating so much work for other editors who have to clean up behind you to ensure that what you've added doesn't disappear eventually as the cited page shifts. As has been explained on your talk page by multiple other editors, bare urls can quickly lead to an article full of broken urls as references. Again, I'm asking this in good faith, but I do not know why you would willingly make things so much more difficult for other editors when you've been politely asked multiple times to stop using bare urls. If anything, you are making it more likely that your own contributions will eventually be removed because a url you cited becomes redirected and the information you added is no longer directly cited. It only takes 30 seconds to add the extra information about what the source is, where it came from, and what it's called. You would be saving so many other people a lot of work, as you are a pretty prolific editor and seem to add citations very often.

Thanks for your time. 19h00s (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
