Draft:Canal Boat Diaries: what am I doing wrong?[edit]

I thought I've added reliable sources such as links to the programme from Guardian and Daily Mirror news articles? But it's still getting rejected.

With thanks, Stuart BellotaUK (talk) 12:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BellotaUK: you've added WP:Bare URLs to the end of your article but they are not inline around information to act as a supporting reference. You should consider formatting your references, the guide for which is at WP:REFB, so that reviewers may judge notability. The BBC url is to the show itself and should be removed as it is not a reference. Depending on the coverage, the BBC will also not be independent coverage to establish notability. The Mirror is also not great at establishing notability (see (WP:DAILYMIRROR) as it is a tabloid. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the Wikimedia Foundation policy on WP:PAID editing, our community policy on WP:COI editing, and then finally re-read your draft and see if it falls into anything on the WP:What Wikipedia is not page, particularly the sections regarding promotion. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 12:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you've failed to cite your biography using proper inline citations to secondary and reliable sources. Further, the draft article is full of purple prose and very promotional, directly contradictory to WP:What Wikipedia is not, see WP:PROMO. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 12:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leinster Chess Leagues[edit]

Hello, MicrobiologyMarcus,

This AFD is not formatted correctly. Please review instructions at WP:AFD for bundled nominations. You just can't write the article page titles in a list, they need the appropriate coding. It's not complicated but the closure will be complicated if the AFD is not formatted correctly. Thank you for addressing this. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Liz thanks for catching my oversight! microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 12:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:List of Emojis[edit]

Hello, MicrobiologyMarcus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of Emojis".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Angelita C. et al. v. California Department of Pesticide Regulation[edit]

Just want to say that the article was objectively terrible on several levels and while the topic is in fact highly notable, this really would not have been at all obvious to anyone who hadn't already done some reading on strawberry pesticides, or lived in some very specific areas of California.

If you are around in a day or so I could possibly use some fresh eyes to assess how well I have explained the thing for a reader that knows nothing about all this. Don't worry, not a full-scale AfC, just whether you can actually read it without getting a headache. I'd appreciate hearing about any continuity errors. Elinruby (talk) 14:13, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elinruby, I would be more than happy to dive into that article and provide feedback when I next get a chance. Looks like an interesting read. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 14:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
