An article you recently created, Fort Grosnez, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. Thank you for your recent contributions to The Odeon (Alderney). I noticed that you added an image to the article's infobox as a thumbnail. In future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox, as this is against the Manual of Style. When adding an image, supply only the filename to the |image= parameter and the caption to the |caption= parameter instead. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using; please consult the Template page for the infobox being used on that page for proper instructions and documentation. Thanks!  Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 03:52, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I have tried previous edits on both The Odeon (Alderney) and Fort Albert (Alderney), and if I just put the image in normally, no matter image size, it takes up most of the screen. The image size for the infobox seems to do nothing.

Also, the article The Odeon (Alderney) has been deleted by another editor:

• 12:38, 26 May 2025 Jimfbleak talk contribs deleted page The Odeon (Alderney) (already exists as a draft Not suitable as article, since no adequate RS)  (thank)

The draft is a redirect from when the article was a draft, and now all the work on the article has been deleted. Now your issue with the image formatting isn’t a problem anymore. ’’’PhilDaBirdMan’’’ 13:07, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I can't see those attempts, but a bare file name shouldn't do that unless you specify a size in the image_size parameter. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 06:22, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Convoy battles of World War II, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mid-Atlantic.

Variety of English from Sydney Metro stations move

I figured I'd put this here as to not clutter the move discussion. Just as a side note, MOS:ENGVAR does not specify that American English or any other variety is the default on the English Wikipedia: The English Wikipedia prefers no national variety over others. American English (AmE) is often retained for consistency because an article was first originally written in AmE and there are no compelling reasons to change it based on MOS:TIES to another English-speaking country. There are articles that were originally written in British English and are kept that way due to MOS:RETAIN. Fork99 (talk) 04:24, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

However, the unspoken standard is American English, with British occasionally being used. But I’m fine with either, as long as it’s still in English. ’’’PhilDaBirdMan’’’ 11:27, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Fort Ile de Raz moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Fort Ile de Raz, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Dan arndt (talk) 07:09, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

Well, I’ve kept trying to resurrect the article, as some users turned this article and about 5 others (and their drafts) into redirects, which I’ve been correcting. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but the article is tagged as a stub, so in no way am i trying to just make a good article. Also, there’s not too many sources to come by. I was sourcing Fort Albert (Alderney) the other day, and most of what i found was random travel sites that people could contribute to (like TripAdvisor).

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bytro Labs

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 Bytro Labs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

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

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on List of vehicles in War Thunder Mobile requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rossana Cambron (November 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 GothicGolem29 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 after they have been resolved.

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

An article you recently created, The Nunnery (Alderney), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Nomadic Warriors for Pritzker (January 10)

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