I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Disambiguation link notification for January 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Ralph Mines, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages English and Bath (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:21, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Leibniz (unit) has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Leibniz (unit). Thanks! DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I addressed the references. One of the references originally had a doi (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17236650/) but the journal "Reviews of Physiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacology" is actually a book series, and apparently the publisher (Springer) no longer assigns a doi to each chapter in each book. I have a pdf of the chapter and can send it if you send a request to roth@oakland.edu. The webpage for the entire book is https://link.springer.com/book/9783540396888.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Leibniz (unit) (December 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Oltrepier were:

This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission.

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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:

This might be notable enough with further improvements, but I think you should definitely add more context and information about the unit's history and measurement... Since we're talking about a scientific unit named after a person, I'd suggest you to take similar articles, such as Dalton and Angstrom, as "models" for your own draft. You also need to add a proper infobox, which in this case, you can find here!

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:Leibniz (unit) 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.
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.
