Your submission at Articles for creation: Blackstone Laboratories (June 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Home Lander were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 organizations and companies). 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.

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:Blackstone Laboratories 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:Blackstone Laboratories, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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.

Hello, Sroth0616! Having an article 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! Home Lander (talk) 18:40, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Sroth0616. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Home Lander (talk) 18:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding wikilinks

Sroth0616, You are adding many wikilinks to a number of articles. Please read MOS:LINK, esp. MOS:OVERLINK (What generally should not be linked: The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of: countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian), geographic features (e.g., the Himalayas, Pacific Ocean, South America), and MOS:REPEATLINK (only once). Also useful are MOS:COMMONWORDS, WP:NOPIPE (esp. regarding edits such as public transportation), WP:EASTER. Otherwise much of your work is futile and will be reverted sooner or later. WikiHannibal (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above notice also applies to your numerous and unnecessary changes to aviation pages, such as American Airlines Flight 11. Please read and comply with WP:OVERLINK. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 11:06, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. Sroth0616 (talk) 01:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But you're still doing it. Please stop. - BilCat (talk) 23:06, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:23, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Blackstone Laboratories

Hello, Sroth0616. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Blackstone Laboratories".

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 the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{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! Lapablo (talk) 23:09, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits on Merchant Marine subjects

Do your edits of the articles United States Merchant Marine and United States Merchant Marine Academy unintentionally exclude the state maritime academies or does the program only include the Merchant Marine Academy. If the program also includes the state maritime academies then the linking you provided is in error. If the program includes only USMMA midshipmen then my concerns don't exist. Some research into the reference used for that sentence should be done. Cuprum17 (talk) 14:59, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Breeze Airways, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CCO (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:24, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Rikki Rockett, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:41, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Blues Saraceno, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:45, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop WP:OVERLINKING and changing US to United Sates, it's incorrect. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At Churchill Airport, the link to Churchill, Manitoba was fine. Why change it to [[Churchill, Manitoba|Churchill]], [[Manitoba]]? Also, why link "scientific research", or "Canada"? It's really important you read MOS:LINK, as you're making a lot of work for people. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at North American Aviation. BilCat (talk) 17:08, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 25

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of surviving Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Burbank.

User talk:SS El Faro

Hi, Sroth0616. I noticed that you moved Talk:SS El Faro to User talk:SS El Faro. Judging by your comments, it seems that this was an unintentional mistake. In the future, if you want to discuss improvements for the article, please do so by clicking |new section| and writing your comments there, without moving the page. I have asked for an admin to move it back. Thanks, Destroyer (Alternate account) 01:11, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Destroyer (Alternate account),

Thank you for letting me know.

The reason this happened in the first place, is I wish to include all of the information below to the wiki however, I am not sure where to include the info.

Reference 17 is a deadlink.

Add reference to NTSB Investigation Number: DCA16MM001^[1]

SS El Faro coordinates “latitude 23.38125N, longitude 073.9111W” (DMS: 23°22'52.5"N 73°54'40.0"W) SOURCE: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/ElFaro-NTSB-full.pdf; URL, PDF (Pg. 2 (on Adobe Reader Pg. 19))

Overlinking

You need to stop linking common countries names as it's disruptive. Take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should not be linked and SdkbBot who reverts those links. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 10:29, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hersheypark. See MOS:OVERLINK; particularly the sections mentioning duplicate and repeat links as well as locations that should already be clear to most readers.

Junctions in a highway infobox

Back in the 2000s, we received feedback from an WP:FAC nomination of an article related to the number of junctions listed in an infobox. Because of that feedback, WP:USRD/STDS says that we limit the total number to 10 for American highway articles, and we don't always even list that many. Otherwise, an infobox may dominate the length of an article, which is undesirable. Imzadi 1979 → 22:54, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User: Imzadi 1979 ,

First, my most sincere apology for not replying back in a timely manner. (Life as a college student — I know not a great excuse but is the truth)

Second, thank you for expecting why the limit for highway junctions ("JCT") is 10.

Third (a question), what qualifies a particular JCT to be added? Such as destinations along a highway past JCT, average ("avg.") traffic count, total length of highway, etc.
