Welcome PortlandSaint!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Eddie891 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

to be notable as a politician, a person has to have held a sufficiently important position (like Oregon State Treasurer). However, just being an unsuccessful candidate for the office is not enough to merit an article, and neither does being a council member for a rather small town. To meet our notability guidelines for people, it would need to be shown that he has been the subject of in-depth coverage in numerous sources (outside of local papers covering their state election), something that is not done in the draft.

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 Draft:Jeff Gudman 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 Draft:Jeff Gudman, 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, 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.

Apologies for undoing your edits. I have made that same edit in the past, and it too was removed due to WP:CRYSTALBALL. Please help me revisit it in November should the region vote to build it. Let me know if I could help out with anything. truflip99 (talk) 01:01, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2012 Oregon state elections into 2012 Oregon Secretary of State election. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 16:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please comply with the Wikipedia verifiability policy by going back to all the articles where you added "NP" as an honorific suffix and adding a citation to a reliable source showing that such usage is reasonably common. If you are unable to do so, please revert all those edits. Jc3s5h (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work in Wikipedia and for your good faith edits on 2020 United States House of Representatives elections; however, the consensus has been that Justin Amash should not be in the infobox on the page. No WP:RS have identified him as the Libertarian Party leader in the House, and he doesn't even make the claim on his Facebook or Twitter pages. He is the only Libertarian Party member of Congress, but that doesn't make him parallel to the majority leader and minority leader. Carter (talk) 23:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PortlandSaint, I reverted your edit to American Empire because the article United States does not mention the expression. Readers who go to United States looking for information on the US as an empire will be disappointed. I think perhaps American imperialism is a better choice, and it is already listed at American Empire. Leschnei (talk) 13:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article Chris Barreto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NPOL.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

An article you recently created, Mary Hull Caballero, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!

Hello, PortlandSaint. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Oregon Campaign Finance Limits Amendment, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication 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 here.

Hi PortlandSaint! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at 2024 Portland, Oregon City Council election that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

I noticed you were the author of Wichita Kansas Temple. This is an announced temple and not one that's under construction or dedicated. I can't remember the page, but there was consensus to not have pages for announced temples and that all of their information is located in the template in the LDS in [country/state]. In this case LDS in Kansas as well as List of temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A couple of years ago, I had created a few of these temples and they were all removed. I'm not going to do anything to this page as there are some pertinent information not found in the template, but it may or may not be challenged and removed by another user/administrator.
