Hello, InfoMCollinson! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation 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! Theroadislong (talk) 12:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is...[edit]

...an encyclopedia. That means that EVERYTHING has to be referenced with citations that are considered reliable sources. Content can be true but not allowed if not verified. Your attempt at a draft reads more like magical fiction than fact. Hence, Rejected. If you persist you maybe blocked for 'NOTHERE', which means 'not here to work on the encyclopedia'.

Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:Amayans. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

New Users[edit]

Should there be emails sent out to regularly update Wikipedia users on news or new pages created ect? Is there anyone else who feels the same way? InfoMCollinson (talk) 15:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thousands of new articles every day (current count >6,000,000), what would be the point? David notMD (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are newsletters you can subscribe to, like The Signpost (subscribe here) or technical news. They usually get delivered to your talk page, and you can enable email alerts for posts to that.
I do wonder if there would be much interest in emailing, tweeting out, etc. main-page content like TFA, ITN, DYK. I suspect that kind of daily update would be too much for most people.
