Welcome!

Hello, HiddenHistoryPedia, and welcome ↗ to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions ↗. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page :Cleopatra ↗ did not conform to Wikipedia's '''verifiability policy ↗''', and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a '''reliable source ↗''' for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research ↗ in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the '''guide for citing sources ↗''' or come to the '''new contributors' help page ↗''', where experienced Wikipedians ↗ can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Kingdom of Kush ↗, but you didn't provide a reliable source ↗. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation ↗ and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources ↗, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Agar Maqnat ↗ moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Agar Maqnat ↗, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> 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 "<code>Draft:</code>" 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. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b><sup>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>)</sup> 11:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Agar Maqnat ↗ concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Agar Maqnat ↗, 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 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 at WP:REFUND/G13 ↗.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace ↗, 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, simply {{edit|Draft:Agar Maqnat|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|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 at this 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!  UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Battle of Adwa (1871) ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tigray ↗ ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Battle_of_Adwa_%281871%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Battle_of_Adwa_%281871%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Original research

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia ↗. We appreciate your contributions ↗, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research ↗, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say ↗. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source ↗ for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources ↗. Thank you. <b>OhNo<span style="color: #D47C14;">itsJamie</span> <sup>Talk</sup></b> 20:47, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from :Somba people ↗ into another page. 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., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|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.  /wiae <small>/tlk</small> 00:21, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
