Disambiguation link notification for April 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Li Ye (poet), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wuxing. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A barnstar for you!

	The Writer's Barnstar
	Hi Howkafkaesque, thanks for your well written articles of remarkable women such as Li Ye (poet), Camelia Suleiman, and Santi Ghose. Your hard work is greatly appreciated! Zanhe (talk) 02:12, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! :) Howkafkaesque (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated Li Ye (poet) for DYK, see nomination page. You may wish to nominate your other articles as well (I'll nominate more if I can find the time to do QPQ reviews). Best regards, -Zanhe (talk) 02:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominated Santi Ghose and Maria Anwander. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 03:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And Janie Tsao. Thanks again for your contributions! -Zanhe (talk) 00:20, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I thought it would be unfair to feature only half of the entrepreneur couple on DYK, so I created Victor Tsao and added it to the nomination. Since I used lots of material from the wife's article you wrote, I've credited you for the husband's article as well. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 20:18, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating Victor Tsao! Howkafkaesque (talk) 02:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ginette Jullian

Thanks for your work on this article, but I've reverted it. I don't think that the tambour.com is a Reliable Source, as it's a family history website and gives no sources for its statements. That's why I didn't state her place of death etc. PamD 07:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Maria Anwander

On 16 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Maria Anwander, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Maria Anwander), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Your recent edits at Ernest Hemingway

Hi! I just noticed your recent edits at this article. I thought it better to revert these edits for several reasons. Ernest Hemingway is a featured article and great effort should be exerted to maintain the necessary characteristics. If you look at the format of the citations you will find that they are consistent, and the same format should be preserved for all edits. In addition, the references used here are from the major modern biographies of Hemingway. In particular the AP study guide source provides no path of verification. Finally, when major projected changes are discussed first on the article talk page, the collaboration results in a better article. — Neonorange (talk) 06:04, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jasmine Tookes. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been or will be undone. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

@Howkafkaesque — I restored your recent improvements to Jasmine Tookes. Labeling your edits vandalism is uncivil, and in this case violates one of the Wikipedia five pillars. But I suspect you, Howkafkaesque, after just one month, may already know that. Unfortunately there can be gaps. — Neonorange (talk) 03:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Jillian Keenan has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Jillian Keenan. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 19:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jillian Keenan (May 8)

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

To establish notability, direct, detailed coverage in secondary sources must be about the subject, not by the subject.

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:Jillian Keenan 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.

Ringbang (talk) 03:48, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Howkafkaesque, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Ringbang (talk) 03:48, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References #2, #5 and #6. "Primary sources" does not only mean his own website, but also covers off any organization or company with which he has a direct business or professional relationship. A writer's notability depends on the work being sourced properly — so books can't be sourced to the webpage of their own publisher, and plays can't be sourced to the webpage of their own producing theatre company. They need to be sourced to media coverage about the books and plays, if you want to ensure that he's safely out of reach of having his notability questioned.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jillian Keenan (May 13)

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

Unfortunately very promotional. Much of the article was sourced to her own bios at various venues, which she presumably wrote herself. I removed many of them. There are others I am unsure of (e.g. Longreads).

Your edits to Jeannine Hall Gailey

You had added in Jeannine Hall Gailey that her work focuses on women's issues. While her work does have a strong female POV, I felt like this was too limiting of a description. I replaced your comment with a more complete description of the focus of her work (pop culture, fairy tales, SciFi, etc...). Hopefully, you can agree with my edits.

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

Survey about History on Wikipedia (If you reside in the United States)

I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia.

If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
