Hello, I'm TJH2018. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Wikipedia:PrOphecy sun without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. TJH2018talk 19:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi TJH2018. I created the page in my sandbox and was trying to turn it into an article. I missed the obviously bracketed article at the top of the list in the move section and picked wikipedia, as I thought it was correct. The next day it still wasn't searchable (again, had no idea the wikipedia option was not to create an article). so I copy & pasted everything & tried again. I wanted to have someone okay the article prior to it being public and saw somewhere to do that while I was trying to figure it out. Of course I noticed my mistake about an hour after doing all that.
Sorry for causing trouble.

Hello! Thebaconfairy,
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!

Speedy deletion of "PrOphecy sun"[edit]
PrOphecy sun, a page you created, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular..
You are welcome to contribute content that complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 08:15, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Wall Hangings[edit]
Hello, Thebaconfairy,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Wall Hangings should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wall Hangings .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. | |

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:South African textile artists[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:South African textile artists requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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. Liz Read! Talk! 11:13, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
List-defined references[edit]
You asked at the Teahouse about your references being garbled. The answer is at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1076#my references are in the wrong section. I see that in more recently-created articles you are still using list-defined references, but getting it wrong. My own preference is not to use list-defined reference, and I merely define each reference where it is used, and you didn't use them in your earlier articles. The choice is yours, but whichever referencing style you are using, please get the syntax right. If you've forgotten how referencing works, there are various guides available, one example being WP:ERB. David Biddulph (talk) 07:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of World Textile Art Organization[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on World Textile Art Organization, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 21:07, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
