Hi WendyGrowler! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
![]() | On 14 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rock Drill (Jacob Epstein), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Epstein's Rock Drill, a vivid illustration of the greatest function of life, was destroyed and recreated? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rock Drill (Jacob Epstein). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

It appears that you may have a
conflict of interest with the subject of
Draft:Boleskine House Foundation SCIO, and as such you should submit this article to be published through the
Articles for Creation process. Before editing the article further, please first disclose on your user page and on the article's Talk page whether you have received money to write this or other articles on Wikipedia, or if you have any other kind of conflict of interest concerning the subject. From reading through the article, it appears that you've also provided far too many references to primary sources; Wikipedia articles must be referenced primarily to secondary and tertiary sources, in order to avoid performing
original research. I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. Before submitting, you should make sure that the article is fully compliant with Wikipedia’s
neutrality and
verifiability policies, as well as our
notability guidelines. When you’re ready, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed,

"This page is intended to provide additional information about concepts in the page(s) it supplements. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.". Given your acknowledgement that AfC is not mandatory, your earlier assertion that "you should submit this article to be published through the Articles for Creation process" is very misleading.

Hiya thank you. I will rewrite in line with helpful advice from wiki editors. Apologies for my errors I'm really out of practice but I will make the article much much better and resubmit. Thank you again for help and advice. I will resubmit when ready

Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to
sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you.-- Quisqualis ( talk) 17:27, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

When do you plan to declare it?-- Quisqualis ( talk) 17:47, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)Hi there! I have an interest in the geographic location and cultural history of the House, and have done a bit of tidy up on the article, hope that's ok. Welcome (back) to Wikipedia, and do give me a shout if I can help at all! Lirazelf ( talk) 18:00, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Excellent and lovely to meet you! User:Lirazelf It's been a bit of a trial of fire and the article needs a lot of improvement but I will continue to work on it. Thank you for your help and for saying hello! WendyGrowler ( talk) 18:27, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, WendyGrowler. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, User:WendyGrowler/sandbox.
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 deleted. If you plan on working on it further 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. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 02:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
