Ways to improve Phillippa Williamson



Hello, Pickled Pigeon,

Thank you for creating Phillippa Williamson ↗.

I have tagged the page ↗ as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process ↗ and note that:

{{Quote|1=Not sure that this subject meets either WP:POLITICIAN ↗ ("Just being an elected local official ... does not guarantee notability") or WP:GNG ↗ - where is the "'''significant coverage''' in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? - Most of the sourcing is routine or passing mentions.}}

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Paul W<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

Deletion discussion about Phillippa Williamson ↗



Hello, Pickled Pigeon, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Paul W, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Phillippa Williamson ↗, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phillippa Williamson ↗.

You might like to note that such discussions ↗ usually run for seven days and are ''not'' votes. And, our guide ↗ about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Paul W<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for August 15



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ashanti–Akim–Akwapim War ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gold Coast ↗ and Akuapem ↗<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Ashanti%E2%80%93Akim%E2%80%93Akwapim_War check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Ashanti%E2%80%93Akim%E2%80%93Akwapim_War?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>

Ways to improve Doris Charles-Frederick



Hello, Pickled Pigeon,

Thank you for creating Doris Charles-Frederick ↗.

I have tagged the page ↗ as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process ↗ and note that:

{{Quote|1=Hi there, I have reviewed this page, it is ticking most of the boxes, although I am conscious that many of the sources that provide in-depth coverage of the subject are from the St Vincent Times, which the subject is affiliated with. Because of this, these sources would not be considered independent of the subject ↗. Ideally more independent sources will help with the article.

As always thanks for your contributions!}}

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Sksatsuma<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

Liberal Bloc ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Liberal Bloc ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability''' and '''in particular, the article needs at least three ↗ reliable ↗ independent ↗ sources with significant coverage ↗ of the subject. There's useful information about how to choose good sources and avoid bad sources here'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
