Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Chariton, Iowa, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:30, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editing

Thank you for the message on my talk page. Please don't be discouraged by the angry tone of Wikipedia. What often frustrates new editors is that there are very particular ways of doing things on Wikipedia, and more experienced editors will quickly revert you if you don't follow the rules. All the policies and guidelines are intended to maintain a professional, encyclopedic style and tone, but for new editors who are just eager to add information it gets frustrating. Please don't be discouraged. If you like to write and have information to add which will improve Wikipedia for its readers (this is very important), then this is a wonderful hobby. I have added a detailed welcome template above. You don't have to read every link, but the most important ones are WP:V and WP:OR, which both say you can't add information to Wikipedia that cannot be supported by a reliable source. This is frustrating for people who have lots of personal knowledge, but these two policies assure Wikipedia remains a trusted source of information for its readers. Also, when editing cities in the United States, editors follow WP:USCITIES. I urge you to stick around, and if you need help, there are links above to various help forums, or feel free to ping me to this talk page by adding {{ping|Magnolia677}} at the start of your message. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (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 MicrobiologyMarcus was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please identify the subject of your article.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Jeffshusband/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.

Your account

Accounts cannot be deleted. You can do, as the other editor suggested, just stop editing and retire. You can also follow the instructions in WP:VANISH if you wish. Finally, please do not include personal identifying information on Wikipedia. I've removed what you posted to the other editor's Talk page. If you have further questions, you can ask them at the WP:Teahouse.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proved my point - can not do anything right on this site. Jeffshusband (talk) 20:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:Jeffshusband/sandbox

Hello, Jeffshusband. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:22, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please, no more emails or notices. I have come to the conclusion that this whole Wikipedia group is not healthy for me. Like we used to say when I was an RN, "Nurses eat their young." . Same thing here. I have not been able to figure this convoluted system out - no one has helped me, except to be nasty to me like I am an idiot. I am done with it. Please delete me from the system. I understand that my comments and contributions are the property of Wikipedia which is fine. Someone might want to make sure my contributions were OK. A few of them apparently slipped through and I did not get a nasty-gram when I submitted them. I am sure there would be something wrong with them if you looked. at them again. Best of luck with the whole mess. I am finished and will be happy to never hear from anyone there again. Jeffshusband (talk) 16:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
