Dates in Venezuelan articles

The dates in Venezuelan articles are DMY. I see that you have made numerous edits to change this to MDY. This will all have to be changed at some point.--ZiaLater (talk) 04:34, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've continued. Please stop.--ZiaLater (talk) 15:12, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ZiaLater, I suggest that if this editor continues, that they be reported to an administrator. There is sufficient evidence that they are NOTHERE. They could even be reported to the COI board. Softlavender (talk) 07:35, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020

Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to University of Pennsylvania have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Please read WP:UNDUE and WP:COATRACK. Do you have a connection to this organization? If so, please read and abide by WP:COI; if not, please trim this by about 95 percent and/or take it to the talk page of the UPenn article. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Curb Safe Charmer. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Startup company, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 19)

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

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.

Medium articles

Hi there! Hope you're doing well.

I noticed that you sometimes cite Medium articles (mostly written by Craig Kronenberger). Could you no longer cite articles from Medium? They usually aren't considered reliable sources by Wikipedia standards, per WP:SELFPUBLISH. - Whisperjanes (talk) 18:41, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:Shelbyhoward423/sandbox

Hello, Shelbyhoward423. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

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!} 07:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
