Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Trimeroceras, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

An article you recently created, List of sovereign states headed by Charles III, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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 "Draft:" 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. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:37, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Hello, Chaotic Enby. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "2022 monkeypox outbreak by country and territory".

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. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hello, Chaotic Enby,

Thank you for creating Cladhexea.

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

You could add a project tag to the talk page of these articles - and there are more sources out there, you could perhaps even add a little more detail?

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 {{Re|Alexandermcnabb}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hi! The clade has been coined very recently - by Tessler et al. last December. In the three months since then, there haven't been as far as I know any further publications from the team, which means this is the only source we'd have on the clade per se. I can look if previous publications mentioned Clade VI/species H11, but the bulk of the information will come from Tessler et al. 2022 until further studies on Cladhexea (and Placozoa as a whole) are published. Chaotic Enby (talk) 09:57, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Gebrayelichthys. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

I want to thank you for updating the article Francevillian biota. I've since also updated my article (Francevillian B Formation) with the new information. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 08:55, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! The only articles talking about it were in French (I couldn't find the original publication), so I'm happy that I could help bring the info to the English-speaking world! Chaotic Enby (talk) 10:46, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen your most recent edits. I did not mean to say "Why was there an Image alt in the "taxobox"? Also removed completely unnecessary and can be easily served with multiple images." but instead "...Also removed completely unnecessary gallery and can be easily served with less images." Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 12:32, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to point out that the saucer shaped fossil on the left in this image looks quite similar to the fossils of the supposedly "new" fossils. I think they are just more specimens of the same, saucer shaped fossil described in this paper from 2014! Although they could just be better preserved remains with internal anatomy. Rugoconites Tenuirugosus (talk) 12:38, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that makes more sense! The gallery was just a way to replace the old clunky infobox which had 4 images on top of the page, as I didn't want to remove them all, but you're right that they weren't even all needed. Chaotic Enby (talk) 14:02, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me how my edit was not constructive. This is what Whitten is known for. It is very sensational to be accused of trying to force employees to do drugs and sign false tax documents. It is much more memorable than being an LGBT activist in Portland. 172.58.27.106 (talk) 05:58, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You've been recently trying to add controversial material in the article's lead with potentially undue weight, while hiding it as "reverting vandalism". Please familiarize yourself with edit warring policies and BLP guidelines, as well as WP:ONUS. ChaotıċEnby(talk) 06:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just set up an account so that people can't do vandalizing edits with my IP anymore. i'm not "hiding" my edits. people removed my good edit without any discussion, which to me is vandalism. i am not edit warring any more than the people who are reverting my good edit. and you aren't disputing what i said, just saying that its 'controversial'. Cameron's COO has filed a lawsuit against him for trying to force staff to take drugs and force her to sign false tax documents. that is extremely notable and the fact that everyone keeps removing it completely from the article, rather than at least just moving it down from the lead, makes me wonder what is going on here... Openmicȣnt (talk) 11:15, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is already mentioned outside of the lead from what I understand, and adding controversial material in the lead described as "best known for" often constitutes undue weight. "Edit warring" refers to the specific practice of trying to insert the same changes several times. If different people revert your changes each time, they're not edit warring, but you are. Please familiarize yourself with the definitions at Wikipedia:Vandalism and Wikipedia:Edit warring to have a clear idea of what best to do in the situation.

Hi Chaotic Enby, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Elli (talk | contribs) 23:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

fwiw I updated your post about this, which has archived. I sort of expected that to unarchived it but apparently Things Do Not Work That Way. Anyway, not sure how much time you have to spend on this but I gotta go.just wanted you to know that your suspicions were further validated. I can't do anything about the coordination, sorry. Maybe SPI? Elinruby (talk) 21:52, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elinruby Thanks a lot for the reply! I think the post has to be unarchived manually, otherwise I can send it to SPI. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:39, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, quickly replying here to your ANI comment: several of the sources do in fact mention the subject, but under their birth name of I'Nasah Crockett instead, so that's why searching for the name directly didn't reveal much. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:42, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aha. That name did come up several times in searching Google News I think (through my dyslexia is worse that usual right now. If I am right then something I noticed was an obituary, so that might explain why the article at this particular time.

I probably need to re-look at the references then; but based on memory the Crockett name came up quite a bit and they probably are at least a GNG pass. The zero results on anything was one of the reasons I thought I might be missing something like a name variant. I am going to leave it archived myself, but that an issue of my time management more than anything. Feel free to unarchive if that will help with the SPI investigation or whatever. I am no SPI expert either but based on some time spent on topics where socks proliferate, I *think* the weirdnesses you described would probably be considered enough behavioral evidence. I will find some time in the next few days to recheck the references for the other name. Black Twitter itself is definitely notable and probably does have some gaps in our coverage. Two of the sources are blogs though, but the Slate and NPR articles are enough to stave off AfD if the subject is indeed mentioned in them as an example. Thanks for the thanks. Probably the lead needs a note about the names, btw, given the principle of least astonishment, but for all I know there is a standard about this when it is a trans subject. I don't usually edit on that area. Elinruby (talk) 00:24, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They're still active on Twitter, so the obituary was probably for someone else. For trans subjects, if they were notable under their previous name (which appears to be the case here), it should be mentioned just once in the lead to clarify. I think I already added that to the article. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 00:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yer right, it was Shafiqah Hudson [1]. It is entirely possible that you did mention the name variant in the lede and I missed it. This is why I avoiding sharp objects for the next week or two; busy and ADD/dyslexia compound one another. I will still re-review the references though, and possibly even improve them, as that is a small compact task that I can get done between all of the other muchness that is going on over here.

As you can see in the history, there is no point at all in rolling back a troll unless you can block them. Next time you see them, because you will likely see them again somewhere, just report them, so they don't have the satisfaction of putting it in the history a half a dozen times. Thanks.

Thanks so much for reviewing this page. Would you be able to highlight specifically the language feel is promotional, advertorial or otherwise not neutral? This was written very carefully to be in Wikipedia's neutral style. There is no content that cannot be directly traced to one of the many high profile sources that are cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caffrey, Neil (talk • contribs) 17:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The emphasis on numbers of followers, visitors, etc. in the lead, with things like is the largest independent online travel publisher definitely give a promotional aspect. This whole paragraph too:

After bootstrapping the company on $11,000, Borden scaled Matador Network into a seven-figure business and one of the largest travel brands on the web. Matador has thousands of travel writers, adventurers and influencers within its network, and has evolved from a branded content business into a full-fledged production studio making custom content for brands, hooking them up with its influencer network and distributing it to its millions of readers and social media followers.

Also, emphasizing likely non-notable rankings like Fast Company named Matador Network to its 2024 list of Most Innovative Companies, or some corporate keywords like a revamped platform, add to the promotional tone of the article. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chaotic Enby. Thanks for your review of the new Operation Identification page. I revised the page attempting to respond to your {primary sources} tag: (1) I added a new secondary source (ref #1); (2) I added existing secondary sources as refs (from the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin journal) to some statements that were previously just see, e.g.-type citations to primary sources; and (3) I revised some of the article language to more accurately reflect analysis in the secondary source rather than relying solely on a primary source as a see, e.g.-type citation for analysis. I believe the article is now supported by appropriate secondary source citations and I tried to eliminate any analysis based solely on primary sources, but I welcome your additional discussion. If you still have concerns that prevent removing the {primary sources} tag, please help me understand which sections of the article you're concerned about. Thanks! Elindstr (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elindstr Thanks a lot! This is definitely an improvement, although the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin journal is still not fully independent (being also part of the FBI), and completely independent sources would be ideal. Also, the primary sources (for their respective claims) to the National Neighborhood Watch could be replaced by secondary ones, and it would be great to see if a published study reports the claim currently sourced to a letter by Allend Voss to the Attorney General. Still, it is already much better! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I exhaustively searched and located secondary sources and I've now taken the article as far as I'm interested. I'd like to remove the flag now and move on. OK with you? Elindstr (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't add text with a non-neutral tone like He has been one of the actors that took it upon themselves to advocate for the redressing of the injustices and adversities faced by artists in the entertainment industry. If you wish to add this, you should word it more neutrally, and source it to independent reliable sources making the claim. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 01:04, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you're using Visual Editor, you should have an integrated reference tool. Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/2 is the place for you!

Can you please help us understand what makes it not encyclopedic? RasDestaDamtew (talk) 21:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the wording of the article is very much promotional and does not correspond to the neutral, encyclopedic tone expected. Wording like HeDPAC is led by prominent champions is clearly not neutral, and a lot of the article in general has a "corporate speak" tone – you can try to reword it by looking at other articles on similar initiatives!

Also, it would be good to clarify your connection with User:Alnjms, as you both created the same page at a close interval. Do you work together, or for HeDPAC, in any capacity? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Chaotic Enby,

I noticed your comment in an ANI discussion about "109 countries" but I couldn't find a reference to that phrase on the article that you linked to. If it is not too offensive, could you tell me what this phrase is referring to? Because I'm clueless. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Hi (since they haven't gotten back, I'll just quickly answer). The number 109 is white supremacist numeric shorthand for an antisemitic claim that Jews have been expelled from 109 different countries. (Sources on this are found here, here, here, here, here and here). Basically, it's never a good number when used in a context relating to Judaism. MemeGod _chat 14:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to write an answer, but you beat me to it! Thanks for the links and the explanation – to be honest, I'm surprised it wasn't in the article I linked, although given the number of absurd claims I understand they can't all be in there...

Hello! How can I create a page? --Limelightmedia1991 (talk) 18:42, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Limelightmedia1991 Hello! The best way is to start by making sure the topic is notable. While there are quite a few complicated guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability, a much simpler overview is given at Wikipedia:42. Find a few in-depth references from independent reliable sources (interviews or press releases aren't considered independent for our purposes), so you can write the article from the information they give you.

Then, when you feel like writing, you can start with a draft. For that, you can go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation, and read down to the "Click here to start a new article" button. Then, go through a few clicks to start a new, empty draft. When writing it, you can read Wikipedia:Your first article as a reference point. Once you have posted your edits and feel the article is ready, click "Submit" on the banner on top of it, and a reviewer will check the article for it to be published!

The article Tulu'i Islam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. Tagged as not notable for 12 years.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

@Inkyiniyan Hello! When on a page, you will have, in the top-right corner, a tab reading "Edit". You can click on it to get the Visual Editor, which allows you to edit the pages and directly see what the result looks like. You may also have a tab reading "Edit source", giving you access to the source editor, a more code-like editing tool.

Hello, First of all I would like to say that..Your Userpage is amazing and is among one of the most beautiful User pages I have ever came across. Secondly, There is a YouTuber named Nitish Rajput. He is very prominent in India. A year ago, an article was made about him but was deleted through PROD. Maybe at that time he wasn't notable. But still, then also some users in the AfD discussion had said that he might be notable after some time. Although, the article was then deleted. As an AfC reviewer and an experienced editor I would like to request you to please invest some of your valuable time and check if now he's notable or not and would it be justified to create a draft on him and submit it for AfC. I am not able to figure this out by myself and therefore requesting you to do so. As you know, It takes quiet long time to create any draft or article. So, it would be very helpful for me to know that if it would be good to create the draft or not. AstuteFlicker (talk) 11:06, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the compliment! Unfortunately, I am not the most knowledgeable person regarding Indian sourcing, and I do not speak any of the languages of India, so I might not be the best at searching for sources in this domain.

How do I create an article --Senior manchi (talk) 10:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Senior manchi Hi! For new users, the best bet is to go through the articles for creation process! The first thing you'll want to do is look for sources about the article's topic, and use the information from these sources to write a draft, which you can then submit for it to be reviewed! A common pitfall for new editors is to write the article backwards, first writing it and then looking for sources to support it, which is often much harder to do. There is more information out there at Help:Your first article if you want! Good luck! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 10:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that Pygsuia Biforma is the only species in its genus, but I don't understand why that means that an article about it should be changed so that its title and description are about the genus and not the species. This happens in a lot of taxonomy articles and was curious about the reason. Haplodiploid75 (talk) 12:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, when a genus has a single species, having both articles would be redundant, and by convention the article is placed at the genus level (WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA). This is really just a matter of convention to keep things consistent, and the convention itself is ultimately pretty arbitrary (for instance, French Wikipedia places the article at the species level, if I remember correctly). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Makes sense to keep it then. I’ll add a line about this being the only species in the genus so the other stuff makes sense Haplodiploid75 (talk) 12:24, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
