Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox/User:Commadore Cundo (February 19)[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 Timtrent was:

Please do not submit items which are not draft articles for review

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Commadore Cundo/sandbox/User:Commadore Cundo 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 User:Commadore Cundo/sandbox/User:Commadore Cundo, 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 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Commadore Cundo! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 23:35, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me. Still trying to figure out how all this works. I did end up getting that figured out, but would you mind telling me if this is the right way to respond? Commadore Cundo (talk) 05:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for figuring it out. This mechanism of response is as good as any. As you gain experience you will see how the mechanism of pinning other editors works. It's somewhat arcane, and I can't remember exactly where the help item, on that is. Perhaps @AssumeGoodWraith can remember and help me out?

The thing on Wikipedia is only to submit for review something which is a draft article. I know it's tempting to click the button in the text, but that just sends what is present for review. Please enjoy creating and editing articles. The process ta Wikipedia:Articles for creation will help you, as will reading Help:Your first article.

Add {{Ping|Username}} to the start of messages, link someone's userpage, or type in a @ when using Discussion Tools (autofills usernames) – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 09:49, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent: By the way, I have seen templates and other non articles submitted for review. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 09:49, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AssumeGoodWraith That is likely to be because new editors have used, but not yet understood, the process of article creation. There are automated tools that place the templates there, bit it is at the editor's discretion to press the button

@Commadore Cundo I have found what I was looking for. It is Help:Notifications. There's a lot to figure out for new editors. I hope you enjoy an intriguing new hobby here Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 10:05, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent: I meant people actually submit templates for review. Not the AFC template.

I'm assuming you're talking about the AFC template. "There are automated tools that place the templates there" - quite a coincidence.

And @Commadore Cundo: It is now time to read about the BLP policy, verifiability, notability, spam, vandalism, disruptive editing, edit warring, original research, the neutral point of view, reliable sources, civility, harassment, personal attacks, copyright, article titles, user rights, what Wikipedia is not, the spoilers guideline, the protection policy and the blocking policy.

Sure thing, thank you both for your help! Commadore Cundo (talk) 14:00, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
