Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to 2020 Summer Olympics, appears to have been inappropriate, and has been reverted. Please feel free to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Your additions were nothing to do with the 2020 Summer Olympics. David Biddulph (talk) 13:34, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:No Number Nine

Hello, Thebigbookhead. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:No Number Nine, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 22:03, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:No Number Nine

Hello, Thebigbookhead. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "No Number Nine".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:04, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No Number Nine moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to No Number Nine. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Boleyn (talk) 18:14, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your help. I have added a source now - the page on my publisher's website. Can you publish the page now please? Thebigbookhead (talk) 07:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: No Number Nine2 (June 14)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:No Number Nine2 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.

Hello, Thebigbookhead! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. 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! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:42, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two things

Hi,

First, please don't create multiple drafts/articles on the same subject, like you did with Draft:No Number Nine2 and Draft:No Number Nine.

Second, do I take it that you're the author of this No Number Nine book? If so, you have a conflict of interest (COI), which must be disclosed. I will post a separate message below, please read and action it.

Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Thebigbookhead. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks, I didn't realise people couldn't create pages about themselves! Yes this is my book so there is a conflict of interest. Really, what prompted me to want to create the page was so that I could be included on the 'Olympic Games in Fiction' category page.

Sorry about creating two pages - I was confused about why my draft page hadn't been published. Could you please delete both draft pages as I don't know how to do that?

I will attempt to create another book page only when the book(s) in question have significant coverage, hopefully some time in the future. Thanks for your help and sorry to waste your time. Thebigbookhead (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
