Please help me with... Trying to move User:YourUsernameWillBePublic/sandbox to Islam in the Arctic as part of Category:Islam by region YourUsernameWillBePublic (talk) 03:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account is still too new for you to be able to make this move yourself.

One way to go is to submit it for AfC review. Just add the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft and click 'Publish changes'. Review can take a while, but your draft seems to be in pretty good shape in terms of having actual references. Still, it seems awfully dependent on that first one. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:21, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BlueMoonset, I've asked a question on the nomination's entry. This looks doable depending upon the answer, and quite easily. Fiddle Faddle 18:38, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Islam in the Arctic

On 3 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Islam in the Arctic, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that despite an extensive history of Islam in the Arctic, the first mosque (pictured) in the Canadian Arctic was only built in 2010? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Islam in the Arctic), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Sakto moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sakto, 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. 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. 1292simon (talk) 08:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sakto (January 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 Shemtovca 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Reads like a PROMO

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:Sakto and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

Concern regarding Draft:Sakto

Hello, YourUsernameWillBePublic. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Sakto, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:01, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Sakto

Hello, YourUsernameWillBePublic. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sakto".

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!} 17:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
