Keep it up

Hey, I saw your post on Teahouse and I wanted to let you know that I've been hit with super angry and political editors too who seem to think they own the platform. Though this can be discouraging, I encourage you to keep it up and not let these people run you off Wikipedia. Your contributions matter. Tealbrain (talk) 01:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scare quotes

Please read WP:Scare quotes. I've removed them as well as your redundant addition to the WP:LEAD. Doug Weller talk 06:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cree People of Eeyou Istchee (February 14)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Auto-decline; no changes or improvements since last decline

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:Cree People of Eeyou Istchee 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:Cree People of Eeyou Istchee, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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.

Hello, Lashask! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Chetsford (talk) 04:46, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Columbus

Please discuss your changes on the article's talk page before re-instating them. They seem to all be of the form of finding ways to avoid saying "discovery", which is a matter of semantics. Tarl N. (discuss) 19:02, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using scare quotes and weasel words such as "so-called"

You really must stop. A very few of your edits have been acceptable but not most of them. You'll see where I've reverted you I've tried to make sure my edits meet WP:NPOV (which most of yours have not). You even put scare quotes into the title of Columbus's letter which effectively changed the title. You need to read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch.

Your draft article, Draft:Cree People of Eeyou Istchee

Hello, Lashask. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cree People of Eeyou Istchee".

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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 15:43, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
