Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Ty Franck, from its old location at User:Lizzytomtom/Ty Franck (author). This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 19:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please be a little more careful

I don't want to discourage you, but this edit [1] is just plain wrong. Only American English uses '-ll-' here, and WP:ENGVAR applies.

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Saskatchewan, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But welcome!

And have fun! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Christopher Hopper (July 25)

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

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:Christopher Hopper 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:Christopher Hopper, 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.

Hello, Lizzytomtom! Having an article 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! Tame (talk) 08:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. I appreciate the guidance as I grow as an editor. Sincerely, Lizzytomtom (talk) 20:31, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021

Hello Lizzytomtom. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Christopher Hopper, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Lizzytomtom. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lizzytomtom|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Template:Z159 Blablubbs (talk) 16:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blablubbs. I do not have any connection to the person I've created the article for, nor am I being compensated, but thank you for being cautious. I'm attempting to create articles for authors I enjoy who don't have entries yet on Wikipedia, and Mr. Hopper's article is my second attempt. I've been trying to follow the basic format and notability guides for other well-known authors as models, learning as I go. Since this writer has apparently not met Wikipedia's notability requirements, I'll look for new people and subjects to keep honing my skills as I grow. Sincerely, Lizzytomtom (talk) 20:29, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
