Sample Page

Hello, there! I’m Aplucas0703, and I’ve been assigned as your mentor. All new accounts are randomly assigned a mentor from a list of volunteers. Please reach out to me when you have questions! I love helping new editors navigate this website. Remember, anyone can edit Wikipedia, but that doesn’t mean that anything goes; we have policies in place to protect you, other editors, and the integrity of the encyclopedia. You aren’t expected to know every rule and policy, or every tool, or everything about Wikipedia. You can just start editing where you feel comfortable. If you make a mistake, someone else will likely fix it and kindly let you know of your error and how to avoid it in the future. We’re very happy to have you as a new editor who can help improve and expand this encyclopedia, because there is still a lot to do around here!

If you need my help at anytime, reach out through the dashboard on your user homepage or directly by starting a new conversation on my talk page.

• You can use your user homepage to find new edits you can make to improve Wikipedia.
• Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold. This means you don’t need to wait for permission to fix things or feel tied down by an edit you want to make being “too big”. However, don’t edit war if someone else reverts it; discuss it instead.
• Assume good faith from other editors, even when you disagree with their decisions or perspectives.
• You can use the talk page of any article to discuss the content and structure of the article. (Talk pages aren’t a forum about the topic, it is to discuss what a Wikipedia page should include or how a page should be formatted, etc.)
• You will gain new privileges as you gain more experience. Some of these are automatic, others can be requested and given by an administrator.
• Visit the task center to find some things to work on, or visit the backlog to find some tasks that need to be done. If you want some help finding tasks, you can also ask me!
• There are many gadgets and user scripts that can help automate edits that would otherwise be tedious to make. You can turn on certain gadgets in your user preferences, and find user scripts at this list of user scripts. The most essential and commonly used gadget is Twinkle, which can be turned on in your preferences. The “install scripts” gadget will make installing user scripts much easier.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! Contact me when you have questions. aaronneallucas (talk) 23:41, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 6-7 meme. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article’s talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia’s dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia’s Administrators’ noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please discuss on talk page! Robloxguest3 (talk) 06:11, 16 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Exatlón Estados Unidos, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 02:22, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators’ noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. – SchroCat (talk) 17:38, 1 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Honestly, April Fool’s Day is a time for silly pranks and everything, but my edit on Dirty Dick was too idiotic and uncalled for and I apologise for the conundrum I have caused. I feel like no one in general should be an idiot on April Fool’s because sometimes it can be taken too far, which I admit I did take it to the extreme.

Accept reason:

Clerking this as effectively accepted as the original 24 hour block expired / the user is currently unblocked. Pretty wild that anyone would think that was an acceptable edit, even as a joke, and I hope you learn from this. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 19:18, 2 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.

Thanks for uploading File:Milwaukee U-Haul Fire, 21-01-2026.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —B-bot (talk) 07:49, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

1. Why did you move it to a non-existent user name?
2. Why did you then blank the page
3. Why do you have a copy of the draft at User:ARandomCatalyst/674 (organisation)?

Are you the same editor as User:Invocoitedlies? — Whpq (talk) 03:10, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback

The reviewer, Trainsandotherthings, left the following feedback:

This draft’s references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject’s own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia’s verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

• Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
• Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

This article relies exclusively on self-published or primary sources. Instances of significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources are necessary to show this subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Milwaukee Subdivision to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Hello, ARandomCatalyst! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. 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! Trainsandotherthings (talk) 12:41, 10 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I’m Gurkubondinn. An edit that you recently made to Draft:Ernst Kundt seemed to be generated using a large language model (an “AI chatbot” or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is not allowed on Wikipedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or ask your questions at the Teahouse, a friendly place for new users. Thanks. —Gurkubondinn 22:26, 15 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect Michael Jackoff has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 May 26 § Michael Jackoff until a consensus is reached. Jay 💬 09:57, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The article Michael the Lover (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:2DABS where only one topic has an article

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article’s talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:42, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Milwaukee Subdivision requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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.
