Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

Signature

Your signature on talk and discussion pages needs to include links as described in WP:SIGLINK. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

In particular, it seems that you have set a custom signature at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal, about half-way down the page in the box below "Signature:". Please just empty that field and un-check the "Treat the above as wiki markup" checkbox if it is checked. This will reset your signature back to the default, linked one. Thanks. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 20:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Daily Mail

Hi there. I'm responding to your comment at The Unknown Warrior, "If anyone disagrees they should point out which facts in this table are incorrect".

WP:DAILYMAIL states "There is consensus that the Daily Mail (including its online version, MailOnline) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is generally prohibited. […] As a result, the Daily Mail should not […] be used as a source in articles" and per WP:BURDEN "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution". So you would need to find a reliable source to support the content you added. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:39, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
