Your submission at Articles for creation: Fencing New-Zealand (March 28)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Imaginably notable actually, but still needs any additional amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall.

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:Fencing New-Zealand and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

German American -> German Americans

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. It's encouraging to see someone become very active so quickly. There's a daunting learning-curve to all the subtleties of editing on WP, and that drives some new editors off. But we always need new editors, and encourage being WP:BOLD, as you have done.

A subtlety for your changes to German American links: please see WP:NOTBROKEN. If the link goes to the right place, even if through a redirect, it's best left alone. In this case especially, I feel that German Americans is probably misnamed, and it may get moved to German American.

If you have any questions on this or any other subject, reply here or on my talk. Thanks again. --A D Monroe III (talk) 13:22, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is the article violating G11? §§§ harfse - 2013 §§§ (talk) 22:21, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Harfse: I tagged the page as G11 as it read like an advert and had no encyclopedic content. GhostOrchid35 (talk) 10:01, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Corkscrew

I just returned from a walk through Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary where there was talk (though not a sighting) of the Ghost Orchid.--S Philbrick (Talk) 17:59, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

Hello and thank you very much for your kind note, that was helpful, BTW, since I was the copyright holder I though it should be OK, what about rewriting the whole text from memory (differently) again so no need to refer to the original source? OmidAriaMehr (talk) 13:36, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
