Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for students and new editors:

1. Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
2. References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
4. Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
5. If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
6. Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
7. Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
8. Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
9. Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
10. Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Learn to Live (company) (August 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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:Learn to Live (company) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also get Wikipedia's Live Help real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! Esemque, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about 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! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:28, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Learn to Live (company) (January 18)

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

This still reads like an advertisement, please adjust the tone to a more neutral, encyclopedic tone. The references seem like an afterthought, with 14 of them though only 4 sentences. Articles should be encyclopedic summaries of information found in the references. References shouldn't be added after articles are written from a personal point of view.

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:Learn to Live (company) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Learn to Live (company) (February 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Onel5969 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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:Learn to Live (company) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of GreatLakes.Art

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on GreatLakes.Art, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 12:03, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HungryHighway. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 12:05, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 15:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 16:35, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I am trying to follow the guidance and have proposed revised versions that do not appear to me promotional, but rather factual. Esemque (talk) 16:38, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Please review WP:GNG. Only publish pages that are very well sourced with multiple reliable, non-trivial, independent sources about the subject. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 16:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Commongrounds Cooperative requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Sorry, but I've had to delete this article as it comes nowhere near meeting the Wikipedia:Notability criteria at present. Deb (talk) 18:20, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Old Town Playhouse moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Old Town Playhouse. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. -- HungryHighway🛣️ 21:25, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Your contributed article, The National Cherry Festival

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The National Cherry Festival. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – National Cherry Festival. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at National Cherry Festival. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Dan arndt (talk) 03:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Old Town Playhouse (May 27)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Thank you for working on the article. The core problem relates to WP:NORG - we need independent coverage at significant length to demonstrate notability. There is currently just one source that does that, The Ticker, since the other sources around it are not independent. So we will need some additional sources that talk about the playhouse itself. The reception/media coverage is just name checking some media outlets: if there is material in there which talks about the Playhouse then that needs to be in the draft, if it is just to show that the productions get media coverage then that on its own isn't helpful. Have a look at some other theatre/theatre group articles to see how to improve this.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Old Town Playhouse to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Need help?

• For an overview of our policies and guidelines see Everything you need to know.
• You can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, or on the reviewer's talk page.

Scam warning
