Request on 03:34:31, 1 December 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Orpheus-555

- Draft:James F. Murray, Sr. (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks for your review of the submitted article. Hoping to better understand your reasons for rejection. Is it because the individual described is not sufficiently significant to warrant a bio page? Because James F. Murray Sr. is already mentioned elsewhere in Wikipedia, but there's no link to a bio page. Or, are you requesting further source references to substantiate the discussion of his political career?

I'd greatly appreciate your guidance on how to get this material up to standard for Wiki publication.

Many thanks, Orpheus 555

Hi Orpheus-555 and welcome to Wikipedia. While he may be notable (and I am not contesting that, although simply being mentioned on Wikipedia doesn't automatically prove that), you should be following WP:Inline citations (see also Wikipedia:Inline citation/examples). Without inline citations, I do not know where the citations go and cannot accurately judge the article. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:38, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Damon Severson

On 12 December 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Damon Severson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Damon Severson scored a goal with 0.4 seconds left in regulation to help lead Canada men's national ice hockey team to a silver medal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Damon Severson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Damon Severson), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
