Your submission at Articles for creation: Pisanodon (January 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Idoghor Melody was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Pisanodon 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. Please go to Draft:Pisanodon, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Concern regarding Draft:Ecce Romani

Hello, HmmmSimon. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ecce Romani, 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.

Archie the Giant Squid moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Archie the Giant Squid, 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. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Adams (teacher) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Eric Adams (teacher). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. 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 for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ... discospinster _talk 01:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion at Equus lenensis

It's obvious that you understand little about biology, given that you apparently don't even know that species names should always be italicised, and that the species name itself should always be lower case. It's Equus lenensis not Equus Lenensis. I spent considerable time cleaning up the article, and was deeply unappreciative of your wholesale reverting of my attempt to improve it using misleading edit summaries. Hemiauchenia (talk) 04:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemiauchenia dude, you may know more about proper notation and such when it comes to Biology, but I read the article that you claimed I wasn't correctly citing front to back and I am deeply unappreciative of your removal of the information I gleaned from that. Your blatant ad hominem attacks and ostensible superior know of biology do not make up for your apparent disregard of my research. I am thankful for your grammatical and style revisions, but I spent considerable time and effort on this article and its research. HmmmSimon (talk) 08:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So why did you revert my attempts to improve the article wholesale, including reverting my adding the italics? You do not WP:OWN Equus lenensis. If you had just added the stuff back that I had removed then I wouldn't have been upset. Your research and writing is not as good as you think it is. You seem most upset that I removed the sentence about "allospecies", a rarely used concept (looking on scholar, it seems mostly used when discussing snails) that was entirely unexplained to the reader, and was only mentioned offhand once in the introduction of the cited paper, and not at all in the conclusion. I therefore think it is WP:UNDUE, given that no other paper has mentioned allospecies in connection with E. lenensis. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
