An article you recently created,Dahl sheep, needs content, not just raw URLs in each section. I've moved your draft todraftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can work on the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia'sgeneral notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Schazjmd (talk)16:09, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I'mHasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know thatDraft:Dahl sheep, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may requestUserfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available atWP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention.HasteurBot (talk)01:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Germsteel. It has been over six months since you last edited theArticles for Creation submission orDraft page you started, "Dahl sheep".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopediamainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simplyedit the submission and remove the{{db-afc}},{{db-draft}}, or{{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions atthis link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia!Bkissin (talk)19:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 | Hello,Germsteel!Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

" they do not show significant coverage ..." The guy has a NYT articleabout him. That should be sufficient; I guess not.Germsteel (talk)19:26, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, Germsteel, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you are interested in helping to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. Before you create a new biography, you might find it useful to look through ourTen Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk)11:57, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently editedLouisa Young, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageRobert Lockhart. Such links areusually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles.(Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow theseopt-out instructions. Thanks,DPL bot (talk)06:11, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Germsteel, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoidcopyright andplagiarism issues.

| Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| InJuly 2015 around15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As ofJuly 2023,19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hello. Thank you foryour contributions toWikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have anedit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should beexplained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the Talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may bequite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary(Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to yourWikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by settingPreferences →Editing →Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.Thanks!Danners430 (talk)08:06, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
