Your submission at Articles for creation: Object replacement character (February 22)[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 DaxServer were:

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.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Object replacement character 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.

Improper warnings[edit]

Hi – it looks like you've been reverting edits made in the sandbox, warning editors who made the edits that their edits were unconstructive. Please don't do this. Making test edits is exactly what the sandbox is for – you might notice that the warnings you left even specifically asked the editors to use the sandbox if they wanted to experiment. It's really important that we make newcomers feel welcome, and making test edits is one of the things that many new editors do. It is not needed to clear the sandbox manually, either: a bot will do so automatically. Thanks. Tollens (talk) 00:49, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will never do this. I'm sorry. HovigTheEditor ^Chat! 00:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
