Your submission at Articles for creation: SuperWarioTed (August 15)

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

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

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.

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:SuperWarioTed 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:SuperWarioTed, 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, 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.

Hello, OverSizedPotato. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:SuperWarioTed, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Bot0612 (talk) 22:01, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:SuperWarioTed

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

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Argoed High School

Hello, please see my edit summary there. Such ephemeral information shouldn't be included without rock-solid reliable independent sources, like national broadhseet newspapers/the BBC. Graham87 13:00, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Argoed High School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Graham87 15:24, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Being unresponsive to messages can also lead to a block, though I do realise that I sent my message after you made your last edit to that page. Graham87 15:24, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

You have been unresponsive to messages on your talk page. Your edit summaries seem almost comical in the light of my attempts to reach out to you; bot-like editing is not allowed either. Graham87 10:37, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upon clicking on your profile, it appears you have are not local to the Argoed community. We are hugely patriotic and dedicated people in our area and the fact you are stopping many of our local people from contributing to our lovely local secondary school is rather insulting and offensive to us.

We would appreciate it if you stopped, as we will continue to update this page frequently to stay up to date with relevant information. OverSizedPotato (talk) 11:21, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "we"and "us"? Shared accounts are not allowed. Also, if you were truly patriotic and proud of your community, you wouldn't be constantly trumpeting the fact that your school is allegedly one of the lowest-ranking in Wales. Additions of notable information using independent secondary sources are welcome, but your current editing pattern absolutely is not. To get unblocked, at a minimum, I would like an example of something else you would add to the page with a cited reliable source, as linked above. Graham87 11:31, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lose the battle win the war, Graham. I will make sure that Argoed High School’s rank on the North Wales Secondary School index is seen by everybody. OverSizedPotato (talk) 11:33, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
