Hi. When you recently edited East India Company, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Treaty of Münster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks...[edit]

...for removing [1] this false claim. I had fixed the article on Afonso, Prince of Portugal and had removed that but this one had escaped me. Not only did Ferdinand and Isabella arrange this marriage, but Isabella then married King Manuel I of Portugal and when Isabella died, he married her sister María of Aragón.--Maragm (talk) 08:49, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of William Willetts[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 William Willetts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-william-willetts-1572980.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

Since you state that you are a "former university lecturer" I'm astonished to see you attempt to upload a verbatim copy of a copyrighted obituary as you did. You refer to yourself as "she" and the obituary was written by one John Guy, so you did not write the obituary. If you rewrite this article please be aware that, while obituaries may be used a references, they are not useful for showing the notability of the subject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: John N. Miksic (February 27)[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 Robertsky 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:
recommend not using ibid in references here. it makes it difficult for verification. May need more sources, given that the bulk of the prose is reliant on one book. Certainly does pass WP:NPROF; no need of the long list of works. Hmm... Some of it can be incorporated into {{Authority control}} when the draft gets accepted into the mainspace. Clean up on the referencing, and ping me.
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.

Updated 14 April 2022: Hello, I cleaned up the article per your remarks and pinged you but haven't heard back. I added several more references and fixed all the ibids. I have also now removed the long list of articles and instead put in a link to an internet site where they are available as a .pdf. I hope this now completes the changes requested and look forward to the entry going live. Pbwelch (talk) 06:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

miksic article[edit]

Is not an encyclopediac article - but a hagiography - you need to get a handle on things that the average AFC reviewer is not interested in. The style and overloaded info is effusive but not encyclopediac.

There is not a proper lead sentence or paragraph, and in general a lot of the language in the text is close to weasel words - for examples of people who are either of the same generation and how encyclopediac articles look - try Benedict Anderson, Clifford Geertz, Robert Darnton, M.C. Ricklefs - they are (or were) in their own ways as academically prolific or notable - but the handle that is important, is the structure of the article and the way the info is laid out.
