Hi Dan, I thought you might be interested in joining WikiProject Journalism. I just joined; it looks like a rather dormant WikiProject, but there are some interesting comments on its talk page (note the most recent one, in particular). Perhaps we could breathe a little life into it? - Pete ( talk) 16:14, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Isadora Newman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Creole ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

You do realize, I hope, that you are expected to list on your user page every article to which you have contributed as a paid editor. You listed Bill Miller (artist). Is there anything else, under any username? DGG ( talk ) 01:14, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, DanDavidCook. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Sarah Jones".
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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, 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.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo ( talk) 21:28, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi there! Was hoping you would be able to help me with some editing questions. I submitted a request to edit on AJ Capital Partners talk page and the editor responded back that every update mentioned needed to have a Wiki-link available. Is this always the case? I feel as though there is relevant information to be added on business information that doesn't currently have it's own Wikipedia page but is still relevant. Please let me know your thoughts or comment directly in the AJ Capital Partners talk page to help! Thank you.

DanDavidCook, an article such as the one about Jason J. Hogg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is a pretty stark violation to the spirit of WP:PAID. A business resume of a minor businessman, that basically serves as an advertisement and a hagiography — that is not okay. Please do not accept contracts of that nature, as it is likely to place your continued editing privileges in considerable jeopardy. It's one thing if some borderline-notable non-profit organization hires you to write about them, or if some estate hires you to write about some relative who was a Civil War General or whatever — but not this. We don't do paid-for business resumes on Wikipedia, as such a practice seriously damages our reputation. El_C 02:47, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, DanDavidCook!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the
Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!
