Lloyd Company moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Lloyd Company, 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.

Can you clarify what happened? This is how a new page is created. If not, can you teach me how to create a new page? Now how to make a new one. Alisjohn (talk) 09:10, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

{{nc}} in article[edit]

Hi Alisjohn, please don't add {{nc}}s all through articles like you did here. If you have a comment on the article, then please use the talk page. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 10:37, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, thanks for clarifying. Alisjohn (talk)

No probs - let me know if you need any help with anything :-) Aussie Article Writer (talk) 15:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Linking[edit]

I see you have linked words such as "central"[1], "publication"[2], "democracy"[3] and "Indian"[4]. We don't normally link such words and we don't link parts of a name or proper noun. Our manual of style's Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking explains the principles and practice, and the section WP:OVERLINK is particularly relevant. NebY (talk) 18:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining.Alisjohn (talk)

August 2021[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!
