Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~)
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 13:14, 20 May 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

[edit]Hello, I'm Jack Greenmaven. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Magic in the Greco-Roman world because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Greenmaven (talk) 05:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Grand Teton Vodka may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello: my AfC "The Organization Workshop” was declined today by “User Mutualawe” re: Contact the editor: mail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Mutualawe wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mutualawe
However, when I click the above link, I am told that ‘User Mutualawe” does not exist. (?) Could someone enlighten me, please? Many thanks

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Promescent
[edit]Hi Mutualawe, Can I ask you to expand on your reason for declining Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Promescent, I am not sure specifically what section of WP:NOT you are referring to in your statement. It is doubly confusing for a new user (DataTalks only 57 edits) to simply be pointed to WP:NOT, with no explanation as to why. --kelapstick(bainuu) 13:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC) This article read like a product placement to me. apologies if I have coded it incorrectly Dreams are real. TV is not. (talk) 07:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Also Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Rainbow Stories should not have been declined for notability concerns, the book as a New York Times review, and several other sources. Please refrain from reviewing articles at AfC until you have a better understanding of Wikipedia policy and notability requirements. --kelapstick(bainuu) 16:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
So wiki is s'pposed to have a page for every book the ny times reviews? Dreams are real. TV is not. (talk) 07:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- And why did you blank and nominate for deletion Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/KidStart? --kelapstick(bainuu) 16:17, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Kidstart is a page that promotes a website and nothing more which is why i deleted it Dreams are real. TV is not. (talk) 07:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Organization Workshop
[edit]Re: The Organization Workshop - declined today 18 May 13 Dear Mutualawe: my MfC contains (numerous) references to published materials (including books and PhD theses which are accessible at/from University libraries). I would very much, indeed, appreciate if you could give me a couple of examples from my AfC of sources which are definitely not acceptable source material in line with wikipedia regulations – Many thanks beforehand!

Your reviews
[edit]I'm very skeptical about many of your AfC reviews. While we certainly could use help reviewing drafts, you haven't had so much as ten edits before today, and to be honest I don't think you have the experience to be sufficiently familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines to review drafts. Of the articles you accepted, quite a few don't seem to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and I'm left wondering whether to move them back to AfC or to tag them for deletion. I would thus ask you to please stop reviewing until you have gathered more experience. Huon (talk) 21:33, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
I came on with some spare time, I saw that there were over 1,000 articles for review and decided to use some of my spare (yet valuable) time to contribute. I see that even today, there are over 800 new articles for review. I use the approved of editing tools to aid me as I learn and used my best judgement while following notability guidelines. If you have any constructive suggestions, they would be welcome. Dreams are real. TV is not. (talk) 07:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry; I should have provided specific examples.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kerawa cited several blogs, but not a single reliable source. I've moved it back from the mainspace.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fox Cave should have been declined - but not for that reason: Inline citations are required only for BLPs.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hugo Markl is hardly a shining example of what a Wikipedia article should be, but you declined it per WP:NOT, which certainly doesn't apply to artists' biographies.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stephen Williams (Designer) cited multiple reliable third-party sources that covered Williams in details, yet you declined this biography, too, per WP:NOT.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Somehow Hollow is another article I moved back from the mainspace for a host of problems with policies and guidelines including WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOT#MEMORIAL.
- You marked Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Breathing Space Scotland as undergoing review and left it at that - probably a mistake.
- Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Promescent is anoter draft you declined per WP:NOT even though it is clearly about an encyclopedic subject.
- There were several othe drafts with similar problems. Huon (talk) 20:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Moved to mainspace in error
[edit]Hi, I have reverted your move of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Infectious diseases within American prisons to Infectious Diseases In American Prisons. This is because the page should not have existed: a bad bot edit had reinstated an AfC draft which had already been moved to the correct name, Infectious diseases within American prisons. Having duplicate articles is not a good idea. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
