The Ideal Scout[edit]

Good job, creating The Ideal Scout. It was deserving of its own article, and doing so nicely cleaned up the R. Tait McKenzie article. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 00:25, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Beach Bunny Swimwear[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 Beach Bunny Swimwear requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Talpatra (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT THE FUCK!!![edit]

How dare you convert an article (Lotus throne) to the appalling sfn style, in total breach of WP:CITEVAR, without leaving any hint of of what you are doing in edit summaries. This is seriously bad behaviour, & you should be blocked. Johnbod (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, I suggest you read up on WP:NPA. Your messages here and elsewhere are troubling; from what I can tel Evrik did what they felt was best for the article, which is perfectly acceptable. That you don't like it is not reason to insult them and threaten them with a block (which no admin would even consider anyway). Primefac (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also puzzled as to what's so "appalling" about {{sfn}}. It gives linkage from the cites to the refs, for one thing. If you object to the use of years, then that's {{sfnp}} anyway, not {{sfn}}. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from vulgarity in the future, this is a bit rude and also not an effective way to express oneself. It is not nice to open a web page and see this kind of verbiage.

Wow. Such intensity! Over citation formats. Full disclosure: I prefer SFN.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Camp Lambec (June 29)[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 Missvain was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hello. Unfortunately the sourcing here is mainly primary, associated with the subject (published by the Presbyterian church) or merely mentions Camp Lambec.

Until books, magazine articles, newspaper articles, television coverage, or radio features focus primarily on Camp Lambec, or it becomes listed on the National Register or the state register of historic places, at this time, this subject does not qualify for a Wikipedia article.

I hope you'll consider contributing to and improving content about existing Presbyterian church or park-related subjects on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please ask at WP:TEAHOUSE. Thank you!

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Camp Lambec 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:Camp Lambec, 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 the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hello, Evrik. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Gilwell Park at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Evrik, I've removed much of the POV and promotional text but there's probably some remaining. I also note the article relies too much on Scouting sources, which are considered primary. I've tagged the article for these issues; you might want to clear them up before your planned GAR nomination. Good luck and cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting article improvement[edit]

I see that there has been little or no effort to support you in improving articles about Scouting. I am happy to put my name against "article improvement" in the sense that as an experienced wikipedian, although getting old and losing my memory, I can advise users about how to improve articles. Shall I add it? It might also encourage others. --Bduke (talk) 07:28, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time[edit]

Hello Evrik:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

You can focus on whatever you like evrik; if you feel more comfortable with these articles, go for it! While the main goal is to collectively cover people from at least twenty centuries, any women-related GA noms are welcomed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
