Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:33, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

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.)

Ryan Wilson (Minnesota politician) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ryan Wilson (Minnesota politician), 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:44, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've moved this into the draft space for now. The article is inadequately referenced, which is especially problematic considering that the subject is a living person. Moreover, there is no evidence of notability: merely running for an office does not make anyone inherently notable per WP:NPOL, so you would need to either wait until he has won the election (assuming), or else provide references that satisfy the general notability WP:GNG criteria of significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Hi Mcvayn! Thank you for your edits to United Kingdom. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Constitution of the United Kingdom into that page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Ryan Wilson (Minnesota politician)

Hello, Mcvayn. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ryan Wilson (Minnesota politician), 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) 17:02, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Ryan Wilson (Minnesota politician)

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

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!} 18:38, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
