Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Shelby's Raid (1863). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 14:04, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231231140400","author":"Arjayay","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Arjayay-20231231140400-Links_to_draft_articles","replies":[]}}-->

1. I reject so called Wikiepdian editors taking 2-3+ weeks to review my article which is of higher quality that the crap I find.

2. Additionally a simple remove with a note will suffice without commenting on my homepage for everybody to read. It just comes off as snarky.

Bazel F. Lazear, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Thanks for the submission! I have some suggestions for the draft:

1. Replace Find a Grave(a wiki source) with a more reliable source

2. Do some copyediting

3. Some parts seem too close to the source material, try paraphrasing them more.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. First, thanks for leaving edit summaries for your edits, as it's a big help to your collaborators. That said, some of yours are quite lengthy, and I wanted to let you know that we try to avoid long ones as a rule. Here's some guidance: Help:Edit_summary#What_to_avoid_in_edit_summaries.

Hi Gameking69! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Erbauliche_Monaths_Unterredungen that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you.

I spent some time copyediting to make it more readable.

I appreciate your help, the article looks 100 times better. As to where I found her, Women in piracy is the place.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Richard Livingstone, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New College and Corpus Christi College. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for the images you're adding to previously unillustrated articles, but do be aware that Wikipedia's stance on AI-upscaled images at MOS:IMAGES is presently that:

AI upscaling software should generally not be used to increase the resolution or quality of an old or low-resolution image. Original historical images should always be used in place of AI upscaled versions. If an AI-upscaled image is used in an article, this fact should be noted in its caption.
