An article you recently created,
John Ming Yee Lee, Architect, FAIA, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:John Ming Yee Lee, Architect, FAIA, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, Cocoablini. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lee/Timchula, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 06:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Cocoablini. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Timchula".
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. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 05:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 12:32, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.)

Hi, They are owned by my Father and we are sending a permission from him to permissions currently. He is older, not tech savvy at all so it's a little slow. Thanks for patience. The images are historical after the opening of the center, which is one of the first urban developments in the 70s. Thanks Cocoablini ( talk). 19:59, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Sorry , as a clarification, The images are in my possession and are owned by my Dad. I am adding his images to Wikipedia since they are rare images of certain buildings that he and Ed Barnes worked on Cocoablini ( talk). 20:01, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Edward Larrabee Barnes. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
This is the last warning to please stop editing Edward Larrabee Barnes given a clear conflict of interest. Any further actions will result in the seeking of administrator intervention.
Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:
Note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

Editors with a COI are encouraged to upload high-quality media files that are appropriately licensed for Wikipedia and that improve our coverage of a subject. [...] In some cases, the addition of media files to an article may be an uncontroversial edit that editors with a COI can make directly, but editors should exercise discretion and rely on talk pages when images may be controversial or promotional.And on Wikipedia, there are actually not only elves, but also fairies and gnomes.

Hello, Cocoablini. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Eloïse Bennett, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Ashley Biden, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You can't possibly think that an unsourced accusation of parent-child molestation is an appropriate thing to add to a biography of a living person, right? AlexEng( TALK) 09:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi Cocoablini. I have previously notified you of problematic edits that you made to an article which serves as a biography of a living person. In that case, it was Ashley Biden. Now, I have also had to revert some unsourced edits that you made to Danielle Collins. Please re-read Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons ( BLP) and familiarize yourself with our standards for inclusion of content, especially if that content may be potentially defamatory. This is an extremely sensitive area of the encyclopedia to be editing, and it would be best to do so cautiously to avoid running afoul of policies and inadvertently causing undue harm. Please also read our policies on verifiability and reliable sources, which provide guidance on how to source statements. I hope we don't encounter similar issues in the future.

The file File:515287-2000w-Thurgood-Marshall-Supreme-Court-Building-Atrium.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Scaled-down duplicate of File:Courtyard of the Thurgood Marshall Building.jpg from Commons.
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 files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film) plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago ( talk) 18:33, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Please refrain from making changes to plot summaries/synopses that conflict with the plot summary edit guides, as you did at Lawrence of Arabia (film).

You have recently edited a page related to COVID-19, broadly construed, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.
