Question re access to Draft[edit]

After I log in, how do I easily access the submission I am working on (which page and which button?)Geolog10 (talk) 18:40, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One way is to click the link at the top right which says 'Contributions'. It will show you a list of all the pages you have edited. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

‎Need to see some current biographies (preferably scientists)[edit]

I'm not the person to help you on this, so I hope you asked several people.

I know absolutely nothing about how Wikipedia biographies of scientists are done.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:28, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which version of my submission am I supposed to edit?[edit]

Which version of all my drafts is the current one for me to continue editing? I've been adding minor formatting revisions, but now I'm not sure I am adding them to the current version. When I opened the last date, I got a message that says it is an old version. I can try them all until I don't get the message, but I'm sure there is some more efficient process.Geolog10 (talk) 20:14, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem. You should be able to access Draft:Florence Connolly Shipek by clicking on that link. The only way I can see you editing an old version is if you went to the history, accessed from "View history" or "history" at the top of the page. Some editors and bots have added categories and other essential items, and you wouldn't want to remove those by working on an old version. To be absolutely certain, go to the history and click on the last version. Clearing your cache is another solution but I don't remember how that's done.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:49, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Geolog10. You have new messages at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#19:09:44.2C_25_December_2014_review_of_submission_by_Geolog10.

I think I messed something up in my new potential submission (Makeda Cheatom)--I can't get her name to show up at the top (in my Sandbox). As I was trying to drop the manuscript into the box, I deleted the programming at the top of the Sandbox. Could you add the programming back in, or should I go onto a new submission and copy the programming at the top? Geolog10Geolog10 (talk) 17:17, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Makeda Cheatom (July 30)[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 DGG was:

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:

This reads like a press release for her ; see WP:NPOC Try rewriting it without adjectives and pyuffery like " She employs her entrepreneurial skills and indigenous intelligence to healing the world through music, art, dance, and culture."

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:Makeda Cheatom 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:Makeda Cheatom, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Makeda Cheatom (July 6)[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 Timtrent was:

We need prose, please, not a set of lists. Your referencing scheme took a lot of work to create, built you have misunderstood. The citation itself is to be by the point cited. What you have done is achieved duplicating your list of references. I'm sorry this means changing your diligent work, but, since you will be redrafting the article, this is a great time to do this. I have not reviewed past these two points.

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. An edit you recently made to Saticoy, California seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so.

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hello, Geolog10. Thank you for your work on Richard Lee Bugbee. MtBotany, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Subject is notable, however there is a lack of references in many places in the article. If the references have not been added after six months to a year the unreferenced information should be removed. Thank you, though, for working on adding to Wikipedia.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|MtBotany}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
