Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Djmarsay, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Seagull123! You might think that Wikipedia is near completion and doesn't need your help, but that's not true! Wikipedia may seem to be running smoothly on the surface, but we still have many backlogs and problems that need attention, and I would like to thank you so much for helping out. Here are some pages to guide you!

Introduction and The five pillars of Wikipedia
Markup guideline (it may seem daunting at first, but it's actually quite easy!) and Simplified Manual of Style
How to edit a page

I still need more help!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dave Marsay (August 21)

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 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.

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:Dave Marsay 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:Dave Marsay, 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, 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.

Science and Government moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Science and Government, appears to be misplaced, due to having Articles for Creation templates on it. 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. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

A Treatise on Probability

Hi Djmarsay. You've added references nfor "Keynes 1951" to A Treatise on Probability, but no such work is defined. I suspect you mean "Keynes 1921", but as you added references for "Harrod 1951" and a cite for "Keynes 1949" I wanted to make sure. If none of this is right and you meant a different work could you add the required cite to the Bibliography section, or let me know what work this refers to? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks,

Yes, Keynes 1921.

I had assume that such mangled references would be highlighted when I edit. Something else to check! Djmarsay (talk) 20:40, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the error messages for short form refs are off by default. If you wish to turn them on you can by following the guidance here Category:Harv and Sfn template errors (just ask if you have any questions). -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
