Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Official Competition, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 123Writer ^talk 06:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How did I deviate? Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 06:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thank you for the question,

Adding rhetorical questions is not following an encyclopedic style. You can write it like:

He is wondering about his legacy and considers financing the construction of a bridge. 123Writer ^talk 06:44, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

oh ok. why didn't you just change it to this? Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 06:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because you were the one editing the article. Didn't want to steal your thunder! Also I use a semi-automated program so it wasn't something I could easily do and I assumed if you needed clarification, you would've asked. 123Writer ^talk 06:54, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok great. Thank you and thanks for helping me out. Have you seen the movie? I loved it! Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 06:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately not, but I'll give it a watch! Don't worry by the way, you aren't in trouble, nor are you expected to memorize the big big big manual of style. Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia! :) 123Writer ^talk 06:59, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! If in the future, I have editing questions, would it be ok to ask you? Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 07:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! And if I'm not available, the fine folks at the Teahouse will gladly assist you. 123Writer ^talk 07:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Have a great day :) Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 07:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2023 AFL season. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 07:59, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: David Wiseman (journalist) (September 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by GMH Melbourne 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 (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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unfortunately, the sources in the article don't establish notability as all but one are a primary source. A number of the sources provided were interview style pieces which fails GNG. Try and get 2-3 articles that meet WP:GNG prior to resubmitting.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:David Wiseman (journalist) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Hello, Whitemancanjump23! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ––– GMH MELBOURNE TALK 11:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, feel free to reach out to me for any assistance. ––– GMH MELBOURNE TALK 11:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. I thought this was borderline which is why I went via AFC as opposed to just creating it. Looking at your reasons, I think you're right and that it is on the premature side. Thank you for taking the time here to look at these. Whitemancanjump23 (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem happy to help :) ––– GMH MELBOURNE TALK 11:42, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
