Hello, NervousGnome
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username FuzzyMagma, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|FuzzyMagma}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Hi NervousGnome! I've noticed the articles you have created and I wanna give you some help on editing.
I request that you see MOS:Layout. Some of your articles such as this have a heading for the lead. As a summary of the entire article, the lead should not have a heading. Speaking of headings, sections should not be reference back to the subject of the article. On articles like this, the section "Why Women: A Journal of Liberation Ended" should be changed to accommodate (since the article is pretty ambiguous on how the journal ended, I'm not sure how to fix it, but you can probably figure it out!). Also, as seen in this, headings should be using sentence case, not title case.
I recommend that in the future, you submit your drafts to Articles for Creation by using this template, and this one when you believe the article is ready. By submitting for AFC, a more experienced editor can review and give feedback to your soon-to-be article. You'll be able to avoid more mistakes by doing this.
I hope all of this helped! Cya. TheWikiToby ( talk) 21:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, NervousGnome,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Pppery and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Women's International Resource Exchange (WIRE), for deletion, because a consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Pppery}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
