April 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Daniel G. Clodfelter may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 03:39, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dan704, The square bracket at the beginning of the line needed to be partnered with a close-bracket. I've now fixed it and also made it display the article title and publication, which is preferred over leaving a "bare link". A good starting point for learning about wiki markup is at Help:Cheatsheet : Noyster (talk), 15:09, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Jane Ellen Whitley[edit]

Hello, Dan704. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Jane Ellen Whitley".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 19:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Daniel "Chipp" Bailey[edit]

The article Daniel "Chipp" Bailey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable local politician; fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. A BEFORE search shows only routine local coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
