June 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Granite City Roller Derby has been reverted.
Your edit here to Granite City Roller Derby was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/GraniteCityRollerDerby/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The link is to GCRD's Facebook page as their personal website no longer exists so it is legitimately their homepage at present Pumathurman (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UK roller derby articles

It's great to see the work you're doing updating and improving articles on UK roller derby leagues, I created many of them some time ago and they've become out of date. I've looked at your Dundee Roller Derby draft, and while it's a well-written and referenced article, in order to get accepted, it will need a couple of more mainstream sources to meet the notability criteria to become an article. On a quick search, I couldn't find any news articles about the league, but they are usually the best bet - sometimes they have been shared on the league's Facebook page?

Oh thank you! I've not written an article before so didn't know that. I definitely have some stuff that I can find and link to! Pumathurman (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You might be able to help me - I just wrote an article on Team Wales Roller Derby, and while drafting tried to change the title but ended up accidentally making it not a draft so I moved it back to draft but now I can't figure out how to submit it for consideration?? Sorry, this is clearly a daft thing to have managed to do. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction if you can Pumathurman (talk) 20:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Team Wales Roller Derby (January 17)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

Lacks sources showing in-depth, independent coverage. I see local coverage, interviews and mentions but those don't help establish notability. See WP:NORG.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Team Wales Roller Derby and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
