You don't have to submit Drafts, you can just publish yourself if you like

You've gotten four in a row right, and while you're still welcome to submit in Draft form, given the backlog you might find it faster and more convenient to just draft your articles and then move them directly to Mainspace on your own, if you have gained those permissions yet. MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:58, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for the heads up, I wasn't sure if I had been given those permissions yet.18Things (talk) 01:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Drone strikes in Somalia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dhobley (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:00, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
