Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A ISBN error. References show this error when the ISBN value or formatting is invalid. Please edit the article to ensure the value is correct, that only one ISBN is used, that the proper optional separators are used, and that no other text is included. (Fix | Ask for help). Below are the references causing this error:
  • Payne, Claudine; Scarry, John F. (1998). "Town Structure at the Edge of the Mississippian World". In Lewis, R. Barry; Stout, Charles B. (eds.). Mississippian Towns and Sacred Spaces: Searching for an Architectural Grammar. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press. pp. 22–48. ISBN 978-0-8173-0947-6. {{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: checksum (help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 13:33, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nels Nelson was added. 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.)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Dafootballguy, left the following feedback:

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

• Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
• Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for schools. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like sports results, league tables, government inspection reports, and listings in databases or listicles;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Individual faculties, departments, and student clubs are rarely notable on their own. You could add this content to the main educational institution article if one exists instead.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Shoal River Headwaters State Park to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Thanks Operator 16 for completing the (very thorough) GA reviews for Kingston Mill Historic District and Eagle Creek Park, it is greatly appreciated. At the moment, we're asking new reviewers to share their experience with the process, so we can see how it can be improved and made more welcoming. We'd welcome any thoughts you can share in the survey here. Whonting (talk) 04:00, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Operator 16,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Special:Diff/1368900746 as you can see in that refactor, you should have your signature be on the same line as your comment in an RfC. I also would probably avoid using an arrow? But that's not as strict a requirement as making sure your signature is on the same line :) CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 18:49, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Rats I just went through with all my comments... Can you point me to a MOS or other standards page where these are spelled out? I'll bet there are more I am missing.

Also, why not the arrow? Operator 16 (talk) 18:54, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Keeping the signature on the same line is implied by Wikipedia:Signatures#How_to_sign_your_posts, though its not necessarily spelled out. Its just how we do things. As a practical matter, keeping your signature on the same line makes it harder for your signature to get separated from your comment. As for why not the arrow...you can keep it if you'd like? Its just not something I've ever seen anyone do before, and I don't think necessary. But I don't see that using the arrow is a problem if you like using it :) CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 01:46, 12 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
