Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Buckskin Frank Leslie. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments belong on the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and may respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you.

Dear Adakiko, Thank you for explaining how I need to restrict my opinions on the subjects of articles, and post my thoughts on changing an article to the accompanying talk page. I am only starting and learning.

Hello, Dan Proudfoot. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Horst Kroll, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Hello, Dan Proudfoot. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Horst Kroll".

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!
