Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Pages must contain more than images; they must have text explaining what the subject is and how it is notable 331dot (talk) 12:04, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is a bit rude 331dot! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:39, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Graeme Bartlett: There was no intention of being rude, simply to attempt to talk to someone seemingly not aware of their user talk page. 331dot (talk) 12:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that you are limited to what the template says, but this one is really for people editing as a vandal or to disrupt. Anyway I have moved all but one of the pages to draft. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading images

Thank you for uploading some great images! Don't feel you have to create an empty placeholder article to put them in, though - by uploading them to Wikimedia Commons with clear descriptions, those photos will stay online permanently, and other editors will be able to use them in articles (both existing and new ones) when the need arises.

If you want to help illustrate Wikipedia, perhaps look around for existing articles which are lacking images, and which your photos could be used to illustrate? --McGeddon (talk) 12:17, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Empty articles

I am moving your articles with no text to drafts, so that you can have time to write some accompanying text. see Draft:Mississippi Foundry and Machine Company Building, Draft:Tanglewood (Clinton, Mississippi), Draft:Downtown Fondren Historic District, Draft:Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs, Draft:Belhaven Heights Historic District and Draft:East Clinton Historic District.

Your draft article, Draft:Belhaven Heights Historic District

Hello, GilbertThompson. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Belhaven Heights Historic District".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. » Shadowowl | talk 14:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
