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

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Flori4nK were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Only source that isn't autogenerated or self-published is a passing mention. External links in the article body aren't appropriate

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:YAPms 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:YAPms, 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.

Tip about {{US elections imagemap}}

Hey, noticed you were using a template I made ({{US elections imagemap}}) and wanted to offer you some advice. Multiple cycles are included, so for example at 2019 United States Attorney General elections, you did

{{US elections imagemap|image=2019 United States Attorney General election results.svg|link-template=2018 STATE gubernatorial election|cycle=Gov2WithTerritories|excluded-states=AK;HI;CA;NV;AZ;ID;WY;CO;NM;TX;OK;KS;NE;SD;MN;IA;AR;TN;IL;WI;MI;OH;AL;GA;SC;FL;MD;NY;CT;RI;MA;NH;ME;VI;MP;GU;MT;OR;WA;UT;MO;IN;WV;NC;PA;VT|extra-states=KY;MS;LA|state-overrides=KY=2019 Kentucky Attorney General election;MS=2019 Mississippi Attorney General election;LA=2019 Louisiana Attorney General election}}

when you could've simply done

{{US elections imagemap|image=2019 United States Attorney General election results.svg|link-template=2019 STATE Attorney General election|cycle=Gov3}}

I've changed that usage of the template already. If you have any questions about the template, don't hesitate to ask me! OwO (what's this?) 05:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. I understood that there were individual pre-made link templates for each election, but I didn't think there would be a link template for Attorney General elections. Did you make a new link template for my maps? And how can I make a link template for future elections? MrOinkingPig (talk) 17:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The link templates aren't something pre-made. You can put whatever you want in the template, just put STATE and it will swap in the state there. Elli (talk | contribs) 07:20, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, 2017 United States Attorney General elections

If this was the first article that you 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, 2017 United States Attorney General elections. 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 – 2017 Virginia Attorney General election. Because of the duplication, your article has been speedily deleted. 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 2017 Virginia Attorney General election. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think the article you created should have remained separate, or 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:23, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:MrOinkingPig/sandbox

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as User:MrOinkingPig/sandbox, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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.
