Your submission at Articles for creation: BrickLink (June 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JBW 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. 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

English Wikipedia requires substantial coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. That purpose cannot be achieved by pages on the web site of the business or on the website of the business owning it, nor by sources which mention BrickLink but do not give substantial coverage of it, such as mere announcements of commercial acquisition, or pages substantially about a person connected to BrickLink, rather than about BrickLink itself.

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:BrickLink 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:BrickLink, 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, 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: Hoofdpagina (October 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Nathan2055 was:

All foreign languages redirects to the Main Page were previously deleted in 2015 per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 6#Redirects to Main Page. Consensus will need to be gained elsewhere prior to recreating some or all of them. Thank you for your contributions!

Hello, I pretty much only write on the Dutch wiki, because there are no read, edit, edit source, view history and searchbar on the English wikipedia. Is it possible to enable these tabs somewhere? Or is it custom to just search through Google and mess around in the url bar just to start editing an article? Best regards, Mikalagrand (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mikalagrand, They all exist in English Wikipedia, I'm not sure how you don't see them...perhaps they aren't being translated right if you're using an autotranslate feature? But I quite clearly see the read, edit, edit source, view history, and searchbar at the top of my window (I'm on PC). CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 19:41, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on PC as well. Is there a setting I can toggle to enable them? They do appear on pretty much all other wikipedia versions (German, French, etc). Greetings, Mikalagrand (talk) 19:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I also am uncertain as to how you would not be seeing those things. You could try looking in your preferences to see if any settings are disabled. 331dot (talk) 08:07, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Selectivity. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. SpinningSpark 18:40, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
