Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 15:15, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinksunburst, this clearly needs some work. I think you need to go through the Sources and Citations training again. The citation is not in the right place, and essential bibliographical information is missing, so that I don't even know what you are trying to provide a reference for. Thank you, Dr Aaij (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Creating CURLFEST[edit]

Creating Curlfest

Or CurlFest? How is your French? Seriously, I don't know if there's enough here for a viable article--nothing in Google Books, nothing in journal articles--of course, because it's so new. Go with something that has more history. You need to have plenty of material, not so little that you have to use every scrap. Dr Aaij (talk) 04:00, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Creating Milton Mcgregor[edit]

User:AlexisJackson/Milton McGregor--Pinksunburst, nothing has happened here in almost a week: that is not how one passes a writing class. Your draft has two and a half sentences and not a single reliable source. Time to get to work. Dr Aaij (talk) 02:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion[edit]

Artiles for deletion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasuni

Deletion of unsuitable article[edit]

I don't know what your purpose was in creating the page Articles of Deletion, but it certainly was not suitable as an article for readers of Wikipedia. It had not content at all, apart from a failed attempt to link to another page, so it has been deleted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JamesBWatson; student was attempting to copy this, "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nasuni (2nd nomination)"--the text. Dr Aaij (talk) 15:35, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pinksunburst, I am still awaiting edits for Critique an article, Add to an article, Copyedit an article. Dr Aaij (talk) 05:08, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Milton McGregor[edit]

I'm awaiting a response to the comment I left. I also haven't seen much of a response to the note I left you about the article, and one of those sources isn't yet incorporated, as far as I can tell. Irony is that that is probably precisely the source you need for the DYK nomination/hook. Dr Aaij (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on CRAAP TEST requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Second article[edit]

Ms. Pinksunburst, I see no work having been done in two and a half weeks. I remind you that you need a second article, with some book sources--without that, you are not likely to pass the class. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here is the problem with that museum. It's important, it's notable by our standards, but you will not find a single book that discusses this in any meaningful way. These book hits (most of which are really useless anyway) prove little more than that the place exists. Sorry, but this is not a good topic to work on for this assignment, which is essentially a research paper. Dr Aaij (talk) 19:01, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Categories for draft articles[edit]

Hi Pinksunburst, you keep removing the colons from categories on a draft article. It is essential those colons remain there unless and until the article is moved into the main space. We do not categorize drafts. It is fine for the categories to be there with colons as placeholders, but please do not remove the colons again before moving the article into mainspace. Thanks, LadyofShalott 01:15, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Lady. PSB, if you want any DYK credit at all, I need to see at the very least a hook. The semester is over, the exam is on Monday, so hurry up. Dr Aaij (talk) 20:56, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of First Baptist Church (South Perry Street, Montgomery, Alabama)[edit]

This article is currently or was the subject of an educational assignment. There's not much here worth keeping.
