Welcome![edit]

Hello, Cnotrees, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Cnotrees, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Happy editing! Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:15, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You asked about making a new article. Check out Help:Your first article for the guidelines. If the article is about a company, then check out Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Best wishes, and I recommend asking questions at the Teahouse. Getting human support saves time. Blue Rasberry (talk)

November 2021[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 15:10, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. DMacks (talk) 21:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC) Please explain what "promotion or advertising" I am conducting? - my edits provide links to external, relevant pictures, of objects held in the Science Museum Collections, with associated facts from the same source t support the articles? Cnotrees (talk) 07:37, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your sole goal here (both by behavior and your own explanation) is to add links to a certain website/organization, and with the stated intent of promoting that website/organization's internet presence . You repeatedly emphasize the museum's holdings, rather than only focusing on the encyclopedia article's content itself. DMacks (talk) 13:40, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add direct links to items in a museum collection in the body of an article as you did here, here, here. Citations should be used to verifiy content, not redirect readers. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 14:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies but these are references to pictures of objects that are relevant to the article text. In the case of Delia Derbyshire, it illustrates the type of object she used for sound effects, so I would suggest it verifies the content. We are looking into copyright issues for uploading the pictures into Wiki Commons Cnotrees (talk) 14:33, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to read up on what Wikipedia is and how to reference articles and how to verify the content. References are not for taking the reader to further content. They are citations of third party reliable sources that support a prose statement in the article. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Thermos (Europe) (February 11)[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 Wgullyn 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 submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I would suggest adding to Thermos LLC's history section instead.

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:Thermos (Europe) 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:Thermos (Europe), 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.

February 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Zsohl. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Vacuum cleaner because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Concern regarding Draft:Thermos (Europe)[edit]

Hello, Cnotrees. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Thermos (Europe), 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) 16:04, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Thermos (Europe)[edit]

Hello, Cnotrees. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Thermos".

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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
