Elanor Post Hutton[edit]

Hi Miamelba, I was just going through your recent article on Elanor Post Hutton, but I have been wondering as the article starts with "Elanor Post Close" what is the connection there? Could you elaborate where the Hutton/Close connection is, as I also don't see that she married a Hutton.

Anyway, many thanks for the work and contributions to the world of knowledge! Happy wiki-ing and kindest regards, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 07:02, 20 December 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Hello! The surnames seem almost arbitrary at different points in her life, but that was taken from the article about her mother, Marjorie Merriweather Post and seems to have been her name at birth.

Cheers, Mia --Miamelba (talk) 10:24, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sands Directory (March 4)[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 Mr. Guye was:

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:Sands Directory 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 get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Mr. Guye (talk) 03:44, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources I used are library web pages, and one is a published dictionary. The Sands Directories themselves are referenced in a number of Wikipedia articles [1] so this article was just designed to provide further context for those references. --Miamelba (talk) 11:54, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Miamelba, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about 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! Mr. Guye (talk) 03:44, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

no need to use Articles for Creation[edit]

Hi, Miamelba! I didn't see the twitter conversation until just now, but I just thought I'd let you know that you don't have to use Article for Creation to create new articles. New users are forced to use it (because new users are often rather naughty). But once you have a certain amount of Wikipedia experience (and you are well passed that threshold), you can create articles directly. This doesn't remove the obligation for sourcing etc, but does eliminate an unnecessary layer of process. Find an article that mentions your new topic, create a wikilink [[the new topic]] in that article -- it will be a redlink intially. Then click on the redlink and start creating your article. If I can be of any help, let me know. Kerry (talk) 07:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, you may still want to develop the draft article in your user space and then copy it over into your new article when it's sufficiently developed. Kerry (talk) 07:04, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kerry! For some reason I decided to follow the 'wizard'-type thing, but I've definitely learnt my lesson! --Miamelba (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contacting Editors from the Ada Lovelace Editathons[edit]

Hi Miamelba,

I hope you don’t mind me contacting you via your talk page. I’m a new Editor to Wikipedia, part of a small research team based at the University of Birmingham in the UK. I’m getting in touch as we’re trying to contact all the Editors who were involved in the Ada Lovelace Editathons in Oxford or London. If you have been, or still are, involved in editing, whatever the scale of your involvement, we would be very grateful for the opportunity to talk to you about your experiences. In the first instance, we’ve set up a short (10 minute) survey, which you can access via my User Talk Pages. If you are interested in helping with our research project, please can you drop me a line?

Thanks, RuthPage (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:25, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

John Towers Ward moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, John Towers Ward, 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: John Towers Ward (March 23)[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 Greenman 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 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.

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:John Towers Ward 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:John Towers Ward, 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 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.

Concern regarding Draft:John Towers Ward[edit]

Hello, Miamelba. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:John Towers Ward, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:John Towers Ward[edit]

Hello, Miamelba. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "John Towers Ward".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I didn't see the first notice, and I wasn't able to retrieve the draft to update and improve the article, so now that work is lost. If someone is generally acting in good faith, six months isn't all that long, given all that's going on in the world... Miamelba (talk) 16:14, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
