Your submission at Articles for creation: Mary-Beth Sharp (September 16)

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

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. 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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Mary-Beth Sharp 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:Mary-Beth Sharp, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" 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, 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.

Misleading edit summary

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages, as you did to Christopher Luxon. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.-gadfium 17:55, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gadfium, I see that you previously blocked this user for copyvio. I've just put four or their five images uploaded to Commons up for deletion over clear copyright violation, enquiring about the fifth photo. Can a user be blocked on en.WP for continued copyvio if those further instances occurred on Commons? Schwede 66 22:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Schwede66, if they add the copyvio images to articles (or any namespace) on en.WP, then they are creating copyright violations here as well as the violation of putting them on commons, and blocks are appropriate in both places. Of course, if a different user adds an image to an article in good faith, they shouldn't be blocked if the image is subsequently found to be a copyvio, but competence is required.-gadfium 02:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gadfium, since your block on 7 July 2021, the user has uploaded two more images that were both copyvios (those got deleted earlier today). They added those images to articles on en.WP:

On 31 Aug with this edit, they added File:GUY NGAN - HABITATION EXHIBITION OPENING NIGHT.jpg
On 16 Sep with the initial edit for a draft article, they added File:Judge Mary-Beth Sharp.jpg

The user got blocked on Commons for 1 week earlier today. Schwede 66 03:53, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting edits to Naenae College

Hi there, I recently reverted some edits that you made to Naenae College. You stated that a notable person attended the school and added two citations, but neither of those citations mentioned Naenae College or said where the person did go to school. I see that this is the second time you've edited this page and had it reverted due to lack of proper sources. If you have evidence that the person did go to the college, please cite that instead.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Taita College (November 29)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Taita College 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Wah (January 12)

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

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.

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.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
