To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

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 Sadness (music artist) 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 band or musician 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sadness (Music Artist)

[edit]

Hello Maninacoffin,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sadness (Music Artist) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Your draft article, Draft:Sadness (Music Artist)

[edit]

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

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. When 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! 22:27, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Onorem. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Onorem (talk) 02:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding non-notable names

[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of people claimed to be Jesus, you may be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:04, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is Christine chandler a non notable person? Multiple websites dedicated to them, an entire documentary that spans over 100 hours, and numerous online communities dedicated to them. Maninacoffin (talk) 18:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That article has been deleted and salted here by community consensus. Any further attempts on your part to add that name will result in a block. OhNoitsJamie Talk 01:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not trying to create an article? I don’t see how your point about that negates their inclusion on this list, especially not when the whole subject of this is “adding non notable names” not “adding names banned by this community”. Further again, why would this person be salted given how much information there is about them and how important they are to a lot of Internet culture?
