Hello, Mcampany. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Mayu Sagara.

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 deleted. If 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. — JJMC89(T·C) 08:32, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Fujio Matsuda

Hi Mcampany, I'm very glad to receive your thanks on Fujio Matsuda earlier today. I do what I can to improve amazing people. SWP13 (talk) 04:42, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

It makes me really happy to see the improvements you've made to the article, so I really appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much! Mcampany (talk) 19:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Ferdinand Marcos

Hi there! I had to revert your last edit to the Ferdinand Marcos article because it placed a reference at the top of the page where a hatnote used to be. I reverted it as a good faith edit, but could not immediately ascertain what you were trying to do. Perhaps you'd like to try again? Just be careful where the revision goes within the text? Thanks and cheers! - Alternativity (talk) 08:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Oh no! Thanks for taking care of that. Reference 96 doesn't have a title, and since the link still works I wanted to put it in, but I didn't realize I broke the formatting. I also tried to remove an invalid ISBN. I'll try again later. Thanks for letting me know! Mcampany (talk) 17:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
