Robert McKinnell moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Robert McKinnell, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: LUCAS device has been accepted[edit]

LUCAS device, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

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 Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class 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.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

So many revisions to an article[edit]

Hello SS,
In Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Hospitals#How_to_go_about_lengthy_revisions_to_lists you typed, "I'm afraid that so many revisions to the article will be annoying if I keep publishing changes and updating over and over again. But how else would I go about it?"
One possibility.

Open editing on the target page.
Click in the edit area to focus.
Execute "select all". In my system <Ctrl>+<A>.
Execute "copy". In my system <Ctrl>+<C>.
Open your sandbox.
Execute "select all".
Execute "paste". In my system <Ctrl>+<V>.
Edit and preview iteratively in your sandbox until satisfied with the result.
Invert the preceding process to replace the old source text in the target page with the new.

Multiple changes in your sandbox won't bother anyone. The target page will undergo only one change.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Board of Certification for Emergency Nurses (July 20)[edit]

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

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 organizations and companies). 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 comment the reviewer left was:

Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:NCORP) but presently does not. Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable . Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners. Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess.

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:Board of Certification for Emergency Nurses and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Board of Certification for Emergency Nurses, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to 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.

"removed hospitals that were not notable"[edit]

for List of hospitals in Texas you removed about 100 hospitals from the list as "not notable" - WP:HOS discusses notable hospitals deserving an article, but the list articles should accurately contain all pertinent items, without needing to meet a notability requirement. -TG 18:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century Japanese novels[edit]

Hello, SparklingSnail,

This category consista of subcategories organized by year. Please don't start combining small categories and make a few subcategories organized by decade. It's better to keep the small categories rather than have a category which haa some subcategories organized by year and others by decades. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
