February 2024

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 21:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Queen stands at your right hand moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Queen stands at your right hand, is not suitable 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.

The physical appearance of the Virgin Mary moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to The physical appearance of the Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because the sources cited are uniformly unreliable, relying heavily on WP:Fringe theories and pseudoscience. This is nowhere near ready for publication in an encyclopedia.. 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. Wikishovel (talk) 19:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MrOllie, Hello, a question according to the article Queen of Psalm 45 in which places does it need to be supported because as far as I know, is the sources supported or is there some place that is not? I wait your answer. Thank you. English Mary (talk) 20:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost none of it is supported with reliable sources. It is largely a collection of conjecture stitched together from scripture, historical sources, and random selfpublished writings on the internet. Something like this should be based on mainstream scholarship from reputable academic sources - though it is not well established that Wikipedia should have an article on it at all. MrOllie (talk) 20:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MrOllie, Hello, thank you very much, and does the Woman of the Apocalypse article have reliable sources or not? English Mary (talk) 21:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to do with that article and have no opinion on it. MrOllie (talk) 21:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MrOllie,I have changed some references in the article. English Mary (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting please. You can start it anew as a draft--but it will take some serious re-editing. Drmies (talk) 23:02, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Revelation 12:1–2

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Revelation 12:1–2. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Woman of the Apocalypse. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Woman of the Apocalypse. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 00:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Flemmish Nietzsche, Hi This article talks only about the bible verses and the other about the character. English Mary (talk) 00:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that, however the bible verse seems to be only really about the character, and the non-quote text in your article appears to be directly copied (see WP:COPYWITHIN) from a portion of the page about the character, and the other section copied from Revelation 12#Verse 1. Unless you or someone else adds substantial content to Revelation 12:1–2, it is in its current state just a duplicate of the two aforementioned articles about that Revelation verse. Thank you. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 00:24, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Flemmish Nietzsche, Well, it seems that Matthew 1:1 does not have a quote. English Mary (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
