November 2017

Please don't delete article categories as you did at Jerome Cosentino. --Bamyers99 (talk) 02:12, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Willam Peyton Cobb

I noticed you created the Willam Peyton Cobb article. Just thought you should know that you spelled his first name wrong in every instance of writing it. It's 'William' as shown on the Alabama archives page you cited, not 'Willam'. PotentPotables (talk) 01:15, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing, I'm surprised I did not notice the error. I actually clicked the link to create the page from the office holder list on Secretary of State of Alabama which I did not create. I will try to change the title. --Political Geek (talk)

Sources

Hello, thanks for creating articles. All articles on living people need to have WP:INLINECITED sources, or they risk deletion. Can you please add them to your articles on politicians? Thanks again for creating new articles, Boleyn (talk) 19:02, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, but some of the articles I have created have the template message for living people. Some include Jabez J. Parker, Patrick Ragland and Neander H. Rice. These people are deceased, but I do not know the date of their death. How do I remove the message? --Political Geek (talk)

Just change {{BLP sources}} to {{Refimprove}}. That should do the trick. But considering the articles you are writing are so short and one or two references may be enough, the templates may not be necessary anyway. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:33, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating several articles on women and their works over the past few weeks. We have become aware of your contributions thanks to research undertaken by Bobo.03 at the University of Minnesota.

Ways to improve Sidney Herbert Blan

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Political Geek, thanks for creating Sidney Herbert Blan!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged for one issue.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Marie Newman

Thanks for creating Marie Newman (politician). Could you please add several outside neutral sources (not from her campaign website)? Thanks! MB298 (talk) 03:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Marie Newman (politician)

Hello Political Geek,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marie Newman (politician) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
