DYK nomination



Hi. I've nominated key relevance ↗, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page ↗ as part of Wikipedia:Did you know ↗. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on October 22 ↗, where you can improve it if you see fit. <!-- This originally was from the template {{subst:DYKNom|Article name|Month Day}} --> Thanks --Bruce1ee<sup>talk</sup> 07:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Jokkmokk Old Church ↗ moved to draftspace



An article you recently created, Jokkmokk Old Church ↗, is not suitable 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.

Registered Agents Inc.



Hey, I noticed you had taken an interest some weeks ago on the Dan Keen article deletion discussion (involving company ownership of Epik registrar) and I wondered if you would weigh in on my comment on the related Registered Agents article's notability (see: Talk:Registered Agents Inc. ↗) I also think that the user who created the page has shown some degree of bias or COI in their edits, as they seem to have expanded allegations of shady behavior on the part of the company in what they wrote in the article. I think if the article remains it should be entirely neutral, and it seems skewed currently. CapnPhantasm (talk) 21:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Ways to improve Kay Van Wey



Hello, WmLawson,

Thank you for creating Kay Van Wey ↗.

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

{{Quote|1=It seems like Van Wey is notable enough for an article, however, as it stands currently, there are sections that rely heavily on primary sources (i.e. your second source from Van Wey & Metzler is used 6 times). These sources should be replaced. In addition, there are some promotional sounding adjectives that should be changed for your article to sound more encyclopedic.}}

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>FiddleheadLady<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse ↗.
