Welcome

Welcome back to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the guide to creating Your first article.
You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Notability of Greta Wodele

A tag has been placed on Greta Wodele requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 20:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greta Wodele

I see from the Deletion log that articles with this title have been deleted twice before, but if you think you can show that she is notable according to Wikipedia's standards for entries about people (explained in Notability (people)), you are welcome to try again. If the article is to stay, you will need to include references from independent, reliable sources. There is more good advice in Why was my page deleted? and in the guide to creating Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Marianela_Nunez2008_Swan_lake.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Marianela_Nunez2008_Swan_lake.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:French Protestant Church above doorway.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:French Protestant Church above doorway.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 04:47, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ljubljana

Quite simply, because you wrote:

"It is Approx 80 kilometres (50 mi) inland from The Adriatic Sea."The extent

while you should have written

"It is approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) inland from the Adriatic Sea." The extent

And you should have provided a source. - Biruitorul ^Talk 18:13, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Draft of article?

Hello, Ruskin. I can't help wondering about User:Ruskin/Example/Draft of article. I see that it has existed since December 2009, but it does not look remotely suitable as a Wikipedia article, and I see no sign that you have ever taken steps to make it into one. In fact, it looks as though you are using it to store a list of quotes and such like for your own use, unrelated to the encyclopaedia. Is that so, or is it really in preparation as a Wikipedia article? JamesBWatson (talk) 12:13, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I hope to use the quotes in articles .etc. I thought that Wiki recommended setting up pages like this as a sort of practice area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.98.118.38 (talk) 13:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cow Head, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Iapetus. 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.

Draft

Greetings! Recently I've been cleaning up the userspace drafts, and I came across this draft of yours, User:Ruskin/Example/Draft of article. Can you explain what you're doing with it? I don't entirely follow what a collection of quotes is being used for or how it constitutes a draft. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 04:19, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Compassionate 727. When I started wikiedia editing I think I was told to start a draft to test things out. Since then I have put here things I think I may use in the future. Quotations are a great indicator of how a person who may be a subject for editing thinks.Ruskin (talk) 06:12, 1 July 2018 (UTC) Ruskin[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Yew Hill (February 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 Sungodtemple was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see anything named "Yew Hill". Per guidance at WP:GEOFEAT, it may be more appropriate to merge the contents of the draft into Compton and Shawford.

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:Yew Hill 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Yew Hill (February 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 PARAKANYAA 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 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:

does not seem to fit guidance at WP:GEOFEAT, as past reviewer said maybe this would be fit to be mentioned on another page

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.
