Your submission at Articles for creation: Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber) (November 10)[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 Pythoncoder 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 people). 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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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:Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber) 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:Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

March 2020[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Pig Latin. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Logical punctuation[edit]

I reverted your edit to Laser. Wikipedia typically uses logical punctuation with quotes, rather than the typesetter's convention that is more common in the United States.--Srleffler (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you're interested, there's a whole essay on this at Wikipedia:Logical quotation on Wikipedia.--Srleffler (talk) 00:04, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber) concern[edit]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:35, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not[edit]

You say "I mainly decide whether an article should be written in American or British English depending on the subject of the article, then convert the article into the appropriate dialect."

That's a terrible idea for an inexperienced user. Really terrible. Not just because it leads to stupid mistakes (e.g. [1] - the diphthong is in Hahnemann's original writings) but also because changing from en-gb to en--us or vice-versa is very often controversial.

I suggest you find something less contentious to do. Guy (help!) 22:33, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ENGVAR[edit]

Hi Electos, please don't make edits like this and this. That article has existed since 2001, and as you can see, it isn't in British English, and there's no reason it should be. WP:ENGVAR states: "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another. ... An article should not be edited or renamed simply to switch from one variety of English to another."

It's also worth noting that British English doesn't necessarily use organise rather than organize. See Oxford spelling and {{Use British English Oxford spelling}}. Something to bear in mind. Many thanks, SarahSV ^(talk) 19:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Mumbo Jumbo (YouTuber)[edit]

Hello, Electos242. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mumbo Jumbo".

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
