Your submission at Articles for creation: Chris Finley (April 5)

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

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment they left was:

This draft does not read like a neutral formal encyclopedic biography of a scholar, but like an essay devoted to her views without putting them in scholarly context. If you need an additional opinion, ask at the Teahouse.

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:Chris Finley and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello! Stayhomegal, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing.

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!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits (April 5)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Provide more independent reliable sources.

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:Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your article Storme Webber

Hello there Stayhomegal! I'm concerned that Storme Webber may not meet notability guidelines here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia notability guidelines call for 3-5 independent sources and reliable sources that discuss a subject comprehensively in order to establish notability. As it stands, the article does not support notability for Webber and my Google searches don't really find much better. I'd like to offer an opportunity here. I can convert this to a Draft for you if you like, that way you will have more time to establish any potential notability better than my Google searches can. I'm hoping that you will respond quickly before another editor nominates it for deletion. Please see our guidelines for reliable sources and notability for people in general or notability for authors to see if she qualifies for something I'm missing here. Thanks for your time and best wishes. Chrisw80 (talk) 02:19, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Storme Webber

A tag has been placed on Storme Webber requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits (BAAITS) (April 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 333-blue was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits (BAAITS) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

BAAITS

Hi, Stayhomegal. I've added some possible sources to your draft article on BAAITS. I don't know if pints work in the draft namespace, so I figured I'd let you and MatthewVanitas know here. I think you could integrate some of those into the article and they may, even without being integrated, serve as evidence that the topic is notable.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits (April 25)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still questionable for solid independent notability, still needs any additional amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall, but no press releases or trivial passing mentions.

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.

May 2016

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Will Roscoe, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:39, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gay American Indians (GAI) article

Hello, thanks for writing this! Looks pretty good. Some thoughts:

A bit on the organisation's recent or latest activity would be nice. Is it still active? Moribund? The local newspaper says it's still sort of active so I was a bit surprised I couldn't find contact details. If it is moribund it would be nice to discuss what replaced it.
It would be nice to know if this organisation was ever active outside California.
Careful with "currently" - low-traffic Wikipedia pages can not get updated for years. I've added the quote and date so people know when this comment dated to.

Let me know if any thoughts. Blythwood (talk) 01:27, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gay american indians

Hello Stayhomegal,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gay american indians for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

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. ~Mohammad Hossain~ 03:07, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with...the visual editor. i no longer see the edit tab, only edit source! i am using firefox.

Stayhomegal (talk) 05:38, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strange. The page seems fine to me. Perhaps try asking for help at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)? That's more for technical issues I think. Check the editing section on your preferences page as it suggests at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/FAQ. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:52, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Try this. Go to your preferences, click on editing and look at the drop-down box at the bottom. You should change it to "Always give me the visual editor if possible" Did that solve it? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:58, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

YES!!! thank you! it was set to remember my last editor so every time i go onto a talk page or something i lose it thank you!!Stayhomegal (talk) 06:04, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users, as you did on User talk:General Ization, potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:28, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stalin's Dictatorship

I noticed that you deleted the reference to Stalin as a dictator, remarking in the edit summary that he "was no dictator." There's been a discussion in progress for several days at the Stalin talk page about how to refer to him in the lede. If you have RS backing up your opinion, feel free to join the discussion. But until then, please don't change the lede. Thanks. Scaleshombre (talk) 07:39, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Joseph Stalin for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.
