"Malfunctioned pages' links"

I see you have started editing recently, so thank you for this and I hope things go well for you. I came across the article Loch Muick where you removed a link to a missing article (red link) Glen Muick with the edit comment "malfunctioned pages' links removed". I see you have made a lot of other edits with this comment but I have only looked at this one page. This was not really a malfunctioning link but was simply one to an article that does not (yet) exist. There could (and in my view should) be an article on this glen so it is best to keep the link even though it is "broken" at present. See Wikipedia:Red link where it says "Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject ...". We do in fact have a (rather poor) article on Glenmuick, the parish, so I have restored the link but pointing to there until we have an article on the geographical area. Best wishes.

I see that you are continuing to unlink redlinked articles after the above explanation. Please stop. This is disruptive editing and could lead to you being blocked from editing. Thanks. PamD 06:58, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

But it may be a question of time zones, apologies if you haven't been doing it since the message above. PamD 08:05, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Orphan pages

Hallo, in this edit you removed the {{orphan}} tag saying "(De-orphaned as it has links to other articles)". I think that you misunderstand "orphan". An "orphan" page is one where no articles link to it from elsewhere in the encyclopedia - you can see Special:WhatLinksHere/Anton_Georgiev here that only the article's talkpage and a user talk subpage link to the article, so it is an orphan. A page with no links to other articles is a {{dead end}} page. There is a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it is an interesting journey. Happy Editing. PamD 08:03, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

I will keep these things in mind. Thank you for guiding me.Dial911 (talk) 03:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Date formats

When you add {{Unreferenced}} templates and date them, please capitalise the month, as I have here, otherwise you generate a non-existent category Category:Articles lacking sources from october 2017 when they should be going into Category:Articles lacking sources from October 2017 (which does exist, and is the category expected by various automated maintenance processes). At the moment those articles you have tagged won't be processed correctly.Le Deluge (talk) 00:54, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

I am sorry. I did not notice the difference. Will keep it in mind now. Thank you so much! Dial911 (talk) 00:56, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Langara College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gary Mason (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Development and Communication Morphosis (December 31)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

In particular, take a look at WP:NBOOK, but in general the way that academic books end up being able to meet this criteria is when they are reviewed in two or more academic journals or similarly reputable publications.

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:Development and Communication Morphosis 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:Development and Communication Morphosis, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! Dial911, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that 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! joe decker ^talk 19:49, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
