Welcome!

Hello, Ut0pian1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page The Rage of Achilles have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sources

Please read the links above. We can use a book to describe its content, but we can only use third-party sources to appraise the work. Dust-jacket publishers' blurbs don't count, I'm afraid. You've added more uncited content to an unreferenced article on a book whose notability is already under question. We should also not link directly to authors websites from article text (as you did at the Odysseus article), especially in cases where the said links point to a pay site or purchase site.

Speedy deletion nomination of Yale Writers' Conference

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Yale Writers' Conference requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your draft article, Draft:Yale Writers' Conference

Hello, Ut0pian1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Yale Writers' Conference".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. 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. Legacypac (talk) 00:21, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Joereddington. I noticed that you recently removed content from Terence_Hawkins without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Article: Terence Hawkins

Hi Ut0pian1, I saw that you had added a tag to the top of the Terence Hawkins page. I removed the tag because you enclosed it in nowiki formatting, which means that it would not display the tag as you intended. Readers would only see db-author. I recently looked into that tag (I haven't seen it before, so I wasn't sure what it was at first) and I see that it is "request deletion by author." Articles can be deleted under that criteria "[i]f requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author." Since content on this page was added by many authors over the span of 10+ years, this wouldn't be the correct deletion rationale.

I only bring this up because you will save a great deal of time and effort by reviewing the deletion policy and selecting the correct reason - Wikipedia is very rules-heavy in some regards and if you have a valid reason for requesting deletion I would hate to see it denied because it was filed under the wrong category. You can find the policy here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion

Once you select the appropriate criteria, I encourage you to re-add the deletion template. Feel free to stop by my talk page if you have any questions. I'm not a Wikipedia expert but I try to be helpful. Cosmic Sans (talk) 13:37, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
