Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shading language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I appreciate your efforts to clean up the shading language article, but some of the material you've added about Adobe [1] was incorrect. (Although I have to admit the issues are pretty arcane.) It's undoubtedly better to cite sources when you introduce material in Wikipiedia. Thanks.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article CryptoKitties is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CryptoKitties until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Hello, Martin Kraus. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, you added two external links to these articles. They did not seem relevant in any capacity so I reverted them. If you want to insert them again, please give a very good reason. Otherwise it might look like self-promotion.

Since the External Links for Rubik's Snake include a link to an open-source, cross-platform implementation for flat screens, I assumed that a link to an open-source, cross-platform implementation for virtual reality would be justified. Apparently, I was wrong.

The file File:Rec Room logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A different logo with less detail (File:Rec_Room_Logo_Icon.svg) is already in the infobox of Rec Room, and the image also does not illustrate gameplay as implied by its placement in its article. Fails WP:NFCC#3a and possibly also 3b.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:58, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-02-22T01:58:00.000Z","author":"LaundryPizza03","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-LaundryPizza03-2022-02-22T01:58:00.000Z-Proposed_deletion_of_File:Rec_Room_logo.jpg","replies":[]}}-->

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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 after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tilt Five 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.
