Those Were the Days (novel by Agnon) moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Those Were the Days (novel by Agnon). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources and it needs more than simply a plot section. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it 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 your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 01:45, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked by mistake[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I was blocked from editing last week. The reason given was because I use a VPN or some other thing that I don't even know what it is. I do not use a VPN. My understanding is that sometimes, even if I don't use a VPN, if someone else is, and the range of IP numbers includes mine, I can get blocked, too. So that is OK, but what happened is at first the block was supposed to end on October 28, but now it seems to have been extended to October 31. Should I just wait it out, or is it going to be extended again? I feel a bit persecuted, and not sure if I have nothing to worry about, or I should ask formally to end the block. What do you think I should do? DaringDonna (talk) 15:07, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have never been blocked. If an IP of yours is blocked and you are somehow caught up in that, you're going to have to tell us the IP.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:39, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Those Were the Days (novel by Agnon) (December 4)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Lizthegrey were:

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 books). 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 proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and contain sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance—not just a summary of the plot. You may wish to add this content to an existing article, such as Those Were the Days (novel by Agnon). As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please trim back the plot summary and add sufficient secondary coverage about the book's impact (rather than citing the book itself) to meet notability requirements.

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:Those Were the Days (novel by Agnon) 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.
