Your submission at Articles for creation: Jeff Gudman (June 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Eddie891 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

to be notable as a politician, a person has to have held a sufficiently important position (like Oregon State Treasurer). However, just being an unsuccessful candidate for the office is not enough to merit an article, and neither does being a council member for a rather small town. To meet our notability guidelines for people, it would need to be shown that he has been the subject of in-depth coverage in numerous sources (outside of local papers covering their state election), something that is not done in the draft.

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:Jeff Gudman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jeff Gudman, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2012 Oregon state elections into 2012 Oregon Secretary of State election. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 16:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prove that "NP" is an honorific suffix for notaries public

Please comply with the Wikipedia verifiability policy by going back to all the articles where you added "NP" as an honorific suffix and adding a citation to a reliable source showing that such usage is reasonably common. If you are unable to do so, please revert all those edits. Jc3s5h (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Amash

Thanks for your work in Wikipedia and for your good faith edits on 2020 United States House of Representatives elections; however, the consensus has been that Justin Amash should not be in the infobox on the page. No WP:RS have identified him as the Libertarian Party leader in the House, and he doesn't even make the claim on his Facebook or Twitter pages. He is the only Libertarian Party member of Congress, but that doesn't make him parallel to the majority leader and minority leader. Carter (talk) 23:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

American Empire

Hi PortlandSaint, I reverted your edit to American Empire because the article United States does not mention the expression. Readers who go to United States looking for information on the US as an empire will be disappointed. I think perhaps American imperialism is a better choice, and it is already listed at American Empire. Leschnei (talk) 13:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Mary Hull Caballero moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Mary Hull Caballero, does not have enough sources and citations 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 have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!

Hi PortlandSaint! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at 2024 Portland, Oregon City Council election 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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Announced temple pages

I noticed you were the author of Wichita Kansas Temple. This is an announced temple and not one that's under construction or dedicated. I can't remember the page, but there was consensus to not have pages for announced temples and that all of their information is located in the template in the LDS in [country/state]. In this case LDS in Kansas as well as List of temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A couple of years ago, I had created a few of these temples and they were all removed.

Deletion discussion about Abby's Pizza

Hello PortlandSaint, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Abby's Pizza, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abby's Pizza.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bastun}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Orphaned non-free image File:Abby's Pizza Logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Abby's Pizza Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:YeahMad

Hello, PortlandSaint. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "YeahMad".

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! Talk!} 01:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, 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 special powers 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 practice;
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.

October 2024

Hello, I'm Graywalls. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rene Gonzalez (politician), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add/modify contents based on your personal knowledge without proper sourcing, as you did here on Rene Gonzalez page, especially biography articles on living people.
