Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Deanna Morse (December 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MurielMary 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

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:Deanna Morse 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:Deanna Morse, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hello, MyriamThyes! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. 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! MurielMary (talk) 04:32, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I almost have no words. This would never happen in the German Wikipedia. This behaviour towards long experienced users is rude, and it is disrespectful towards the person described in the article. I guess you wouldn't do this if Deanna Morse was a man. I strongly encourage US and Canadian Wikipedia users and moderators to correct their policy. --Myriam Thyes (talk) 10:57, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Myriam, just saw your note here and wanted to respond as an editor who declined the draft. I'd like you to know that I'm neither American nor Canadian, and I'm a keen editor on biographies of women (I've created almost 600). I feel sure that I am applying the notability guidelines fairly here, as there isn't sufficient evidence (with reliable sourcing) to meet the notability criteria at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals I have also put some comments on the draft. I hope you are able to find some more objective sources to add to the article so it can be published. IMO it is neither rude nor disrespectful to follow guidelines in this way. Regards, MurielMary (talk) 11:29, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deanna Morse

I put Deanna Morse into article space today. It looked ready. Please feel free to expand with reliable sources. Best, Thriley (talk) 18:57, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MyriamThyes, if you have some connection to that person you are expected to disclose it – please see this guidance; you should also refrain from making any further edit to the page on her, and instead use the talk-page to request any change you think should be made. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thriley has just encouraged me to add sources, as you can see above. I live in Germany, I've never met Deanna Morse. She and her students once participated in my online Flash animation project Flag Metamorphoses (www.flag-metamorphoses.net), this is how I knew about her work. Please write in a respectful manner to other users. I'm not used to such leery behaviour in the German Wikipedia, it has only happened to me in the English version.
