Your submission at Articles for creation: EWhoring (January 15)

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:

Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two of the three sources cited are by the same authors. I think we need to see wider coverage of this, to properly demonstrate notability.

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:EWhoring 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.

Widespread phenomenon on the dark web but hasn't received much attention just yet (besides those researchers cited). Will shelve this and wait for a more opportune time. Aurangzebra (talk) 02:49, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Aurangzebra! 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) 08:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The future of slurs

Hi, it seems that your proposal on the discussion on Talk:Pejorative did not result in any changes. While my comment could be taken as critical, I actually agree that it's very unfortunate that Wikipedia does not have more content on slur as a concept. I think I'd suggest to make a subsection on either Pejorative or Insult (which I believe is in line with the other comments), and if the sources make the importance clear and give content to a big subsection, maybe that will one day initiate a discussion leading to a better organization. I'd be open to contribute but it's not at the core of things I usually work with, but I do have a little interesting in swearing and its linguistic properties, but not exactly sources at hand. In any case, I just wanted to show my appreciation of your concerns! --//Replayful (talk | contribs) 16:55, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Replayful: Hey, thanks for the kind words! And after reading the comments, I agree that it doesn't make sense to have pages for Insult, Pejorative, and Slur. I think I'll do some research and contribute a subsection to one of those pages. I am not a slur expert off the top of my head so there could plausibly not be a lot on it but, if there is, we can definitely reassess organization as you suggest.

Minor edits

Hi, I noticed you marked an edit to Montreal as minor, but it wasn't. "Minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thanks. — W.andrea (talk) 17:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry about that. Thanks for the heads up! Aurangzebra (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:EWhoring

Hello, Aurangzebra. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:EWhoring, 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) 03:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter)

On 4 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kim Ye-ji's performance in the 10 meter air pistol at the 2024 Summer Olympics led her to be dubbed the "coolest person on the planet"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kim Ye-ji (sport shooter)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for August 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited World and Olympic records set at the 2024 Summer Olympics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Martin Vlach. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:53, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Greetings friend, Just wanted to let you know, I saw your recent edits on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre and it looks pretty nice. I have been working on expanding the article in a separate userspace so I can work uninterrupted. So far it has been going well though I have slowed down a little. Eventually I will get around to completing it and transfering it into the userspace but it will be a good long while until that happens. If you are interested in helping or anything feel free to reach out. Happy editing. Paleface Jack (talk) 02:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Fartcoin

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 Fartcoin 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 a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 00:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
