Requested move

This move request was badly formatted, essentially because you used the full URL rather than just the wikipedia page title (i.e. you used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GDBarry/Iain_Pattinson instead of just User:GDBarry/Iain Pattinson). I suspect you were trying to move your new article (User:GDBarry/Iain Pattinson) to main space and in that case a requested move is the wrong process anyway. According to Wikipedia:Requested moves#Processes beyond the scope of this page you should instead add {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article and allow the Articles for creation process to take place. I have now added that tag to your article. Dpmuk (talk) 21:32, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Times Radio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DAB (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) 06:19, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Luke Jones (journalist) (July 16)

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

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:Luke Jones (journalist) 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:Luke Jones (journalist), 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.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funky Snack (talk • contribs) 13:46, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ANI report

Hi. Let me break it down for you. Accusations (say, of harassment) on Wikipedia must always be backed up with evidence in the form of diffs. Otherwise, the accusation itself becomes an aspersion. If you demonstrate that harassment has taken place, appropriate measures will be taken of a swift and decisive nature. If, however, you fail to demonstrate this, you may be admonished or even sanctioned. Please bear that in mind as you move toward resolution to your dispute. El_C 14:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

El_C: OK, I'll try to put something together. The behaviour on the ANI page itself has compounded the issue. That's the problem as far as I'm concerned - there seems to be no way of logging a complaint without making it worse. But thanks for your help. GDBarry (talk) 15:07, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GDBarry, you're still making accusations not backed up by evidence. Please stop doing that. El_C 15:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
