Categories and sub-categories
Thanks for adding categories to various articles. Many new editors don't know about this sort of detail and we wind up getting new articles that cannot be found easily. One nit: in general, please only add the most-specific subcategory, not also parent cats of that category (Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing pages guideline). For example, if Astoria Park is tagged with Category:Skateparks in New York City, it should not also be tagged Category:Skateparks in the United States. DMacks (talk) 06:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Also, per Help:Minor edit, edits that change categories should probably not be marked as "minor". DMacks (talk) 06:44, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you DMacks, I understand better now. I will work to avoid double tagging in the future. --Wil540 art (talk) 19:15, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you
I just wanted to thank you for your helpful comments at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 December 26#(917)692-2706 BTW, try typing 917-692-2706 into your search box. :) --Guy Macon (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source
Hi Wil540 art. I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for biographical information in William Strobeck and Mariah Duran. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). If you disagree, let's discuss it.

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. | |

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Marlon Mullen
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 Draft:Marlon Mullen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.disparateminds.org/blog/2017/5/1/marlon-mullen-at-jtt-gallery. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 deleted 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.

The article Louie Lopez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
no evidence for notability
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Darius Clark Monroe moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Darius Clark Monroe, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. Right now, the only good reference (in terms of notability) is the Hollywood Reporter article, which goes in-depth about him and his life. The others are simple blurbs or press releases, which don't go to notability. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Wil540 art,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Onel5969 and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Robert Bittenbender, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion.The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to prevent the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click
Publish Changesbutton.
But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Onel5969}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

User:Rosguill while reviewing this page as a part of our page curation process had the following comments:
I was able to find enough coverage online to meet notability guidelines (in particular [1] and [2] convinced me), but virtually all of the sources currently cited are not independent of the subject and thus aren't terribly useful for writing an article. We need third-party reviews or bios about the subject written in reliable sources with editorial oversight, not press releases announcing performances.

Thanks for creating NIAD Art Center.
User:Rosguill while reviewing this page as a part of our page curation process had the following comments:
It's not clear if coverage is sufficiently significant and independent to establish notability: a lot of the provided citations appear to be to coverage that is routine and/or promotional. It would also help if citations to non-local sources were added, as they would be a stronger indication of the subject's notability.

Hello, Wil540 art. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:List of Los-Angeles-area skateboarders.
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 by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, Wil540 art
Thank you for creating Breana Geering.
User:Rosguill, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
The article needs more citations to significant coverage in reliable sources. I was able to find this video which I think gets us most of the way there, but a few more citations to significant coverage would be ideal.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

| Saturday November 16, 12:30 pm - 4:30pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon | |

  The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.
Thanks, and hope to see you there! --Wikimedia New York City Team 16:46, 14 November 2019 (UTC) | |

Hello, I'm David Gerard. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Theotis Beasley, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:DEPRECATED for why the WP:DAILYMAIL should never be used for anything, and especially a biography of a living person. David Gerard (talk) 23:30, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
