Your submission at Articles for creation: List of amphibians of Sardinia (March 4)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has no references. This draft is duplicated.

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:List of amphibians of Sardinia 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:List of amphibians of Sardinia, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Conservation statuses

Hi Donkey8, I saw your changes at List of mammals of Algeria and looked at the IUCN site and couldn't tell why you made those changes. I couldn't find a conservation status for Caracal caracal algira. Leptailurus serval and Hyaena hyaena look like they were right before you made the changes. What's your source for those? Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 20:17, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of species of Galápagos tortoise, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vulnerable (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.)

List of mammals of Great Britain

Hi, Donkey8

May I ask what you have against listing separate subspecies?

List of mammals of Madagascar IUCN symbols

Hi Donkey8. Surely you realize that given that I'm largely responsible for the content of the article, if you want to change the IUCN symbols in the list, you will have to discuss the issue with me. I'm well aware of the existence of alternate symbols. WolfmanSF (talk) 17:04, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 18

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of mammals of Ireland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ursus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Adding IUCN status

Hello and thanks for adding IUCN status to plant species, as you did for Arbutus unedo. For that article, I expanded the reference to the now-standard format for IUCN references. It's helpful for consistency across the large number of IUCN-assessed species and to be able to see assessors, year etc. all within the reference. Thanks Declangi (talk) 00:32, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Donkey8 - why have you added File:Columba palumbus0.jpg to en:Azores wood pigeon? Did you check the location where the photo was taken??? Can you explain why you thought it was in the Azores, rather than Britain???? Please remove it from there! - MPF (talk) 01:10, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of animals articles

Hi, I restored some articles of list of animals by countries that you removed contents. You need to reach a consensus to avoid edit wars if you want to alter articles drastically. If you don't agree with what to be included, you should add a topic on talk pages for discussions. You can also temporary hide the sections with a code.

I would appreciate it if we can reach an agreement and constructively work together. Best regards. MinasOstiris (talk) 15:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
