Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Federalist Papers. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Federalist Papers. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. The_stuart ( talk) 03:48, 8 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page George Barnes (British politician) has been reverted.
Your edit here to George Barnes (British politician) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed ( https://www.facebook.com/109792770489900/photos/a.109811783821332/109948950474282/?type=3&theater) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an image file on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable image.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hello, I'm Prahlad balaji. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Public Oversight (United States) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Public Oversight (United States) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 19:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Hello. I came across your editing at Milner's Kindergarten (I can kind of see why you chose that username) and went from there (eventually) to Doullens Conference and saw that your draft of Abbeville Conference was declined (I understand why it was declined, but think it has great potential). I also saw the discussion at Milner's article talk page here and your extensive mining of primary sources (newspaper articles from The Times) on that talk page. While I have a fondness for rummaging through old newspaper articles myself, that sort of thing does need to be watched carefully (for reasons that are very logical but can take a while to explain). I actually got onto this topic while reading about Thomas Jones (civil servant) - it was the other 'secretary' (i.e. civil servant) in the British side of the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations who was part of Milner's Kindergarten ( Lionel Curtis). Anyway, I just wanted to try and say that I appreciate your editing, but can see that you might run into more problems at some point. For example, the external links to articles from The Times in the text at Milner's Kindergarten is something that needs clearing up at some point. This is the point where I should offer to help, but I don't always have time to do that (and not over the next few weeks), but I might be able to point you in the right direction. Carcharoth ( talk) 21:44, 14 January 2021 (UTC) reply

In response to your message, I left links to "The Times" in the talk section of the following wikipedia pages:

1. Alfred Lord Milner

2. Viscountess Milner

3. Milner's Kindergarten

I did this as an aid for other members. If there is a quality problem, or some other problem relating to newspaper sources, please let me know. Thank you. Lord Milner ( talk)

Replying here to your reply (which I have copied back here). Leaving such links on article talk pages is usually fine but not always that helpful, as what needs to be used is high-quality secondary sources (usually academic ones) where the authors (not us) have done the digging through primary sources and published the results of their research. Usually it is only acceptable (and sometimes not even then) to use newspaper sources to verify or include additional information, and even then only if secondary sources deem the matter worth mentioning, and only if it is not distorting the article and not giving undue weight to certain things. The problem with Milner's Kindergarten is that it looked like this on 29 May 2020 just before your first edit to it, and it now looks like this, which is fine as far as the content goes (as far as I can tell), but the 'Reconstruction' and 'Non Kindergarteners' sections still have those external links to articles in The Times. I can see similar external links in Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner and Violet Milner, Viscountess Milner. Those need to either be moved to the talk page, or turned into proper references. You may be interested in Template:Cite newspaper The Times. Carcharoth ( talk) 03:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC) reply

Please do not insert external links into article text as you did here. This is not appropriate. For guidance on how to add external links, and which links are appropriate, may be found at Wikipedia:External links. Thank you, DuncanHill ( talk) 17:34, 4 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Hi Lord Milner, I came across your request to rename your draft article on the talk page. I've moved it for you, but you can find information on how to do this yourself in the future at HELP:MOVE. Remember to make sure that article titles reflect the most commonly used English-language name for the subject.

Regrading your draft article (now at Draft:Dury, Compiègne and Abbeville Conferences), I suggest you take a look at Doullens Conference, which appears to have some overlap. That article lists the date of the Abbeville Conference as 1–2 May 1918, whereas your draft lists it as March 25 – I presume these were separate events, in which case "conference" might not be the common name for the smaller meetings that your draft article is about. It may be better to find a different title – what do the sources call the meetings? You might want to tie the two articles together and take a look at the sources used there, so that the articles complement each other . I'm not a subject expert and don't have the time to do reading on it myself. All the best, Jr8825 • Talk 15:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC) reply

 The comment the reviewer left was:

There are several issues here. The first is that these meetings aren't referred to as "conferences" in the sources supplied - they're described simply as "meetings" and only mentioned briefly. This raises a notability issue, as there needs to be significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources for it to be suitable for an article - see the general notability guideline for further detail. The article is entirely reliant on primary sources such as autobiographies, which are not independent from their subject. Secondary sources are essential, see WP:PRIMARY for guidance on this. If there isn't more detailed coverage of these events in secondary sources, they may not be suitable for a separate article and might be better off as additions to existing articles.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

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.

Hello, I am just an ordinary editor who has noticed your enquiry at the Teahouse. I don't know what other feedback you have received on your timeline thus far, but here are my immediate impressions:

• Why write a biography about a relatively obscure individual from history in the form of a very lengthy timeline? This is atypical and lacks narrative continuity and insight. In what way might it advance the body of human knowledge?
• For a person of Milner's notability, it is far, far, far too long. Dinner with the King? pfffft
• You have posted this at EverybodyWiki. Why hope that Wikipedia will accept it in its present form? This is an encyclopedia, which is not to serve as the "last word" on any subject. A 300-word-maximum article would be much more informative, provided it covered the highlights of his career.
• A timeline with approximately 1,000 entries defeats its own purpose, even if it's the timeline of Humanity! And, if this person is notable, why is he only now being covered in Wikipedia, despite your ability to write something with 1,500 footnotes about him? Are you obsessed?
• Note that I don't know what advice you've received previously regarding this timeline, but you should take it, as it is likely to have foreshadowed my own advice.Sincerely-- Quisqualis ( talk) 04:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Thanks for your advice. I don't know what EverybodyWiki is. These wikipedia troll like websites somehow parody Wikipedia and make it look original. They appear to tailor to specific audiences. This submission may best be placed in Scholarpedia (which is wikipedia approved), where it will be protected from editing. When I started, I didn't know how long it would be, but I wanted a complete timeline because Alfred Milner was vilified in some parts of England as a behind the scenes manipulator and an orchestrator of wars for profit. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=Lord+Milner%27s+Second+War&sxsrf=ALiCzsaC0Ilwd4M18dIx57JovsQJpRlGMw:1661147632900&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv-M-U4dn5AhUeFFkFHXZ2AL0Q_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1792&bih=1040&dpr=2#spd=12161886056322360334

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lord+Milner%27s+Second+War&sxsrf=ALiCzsaC0Ilwd4M18dIx57JovsQJpRlGMw:1661147632900&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv-M-U4dn5AhUeFFkFHXZ2AL0Q_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1792&bih=1040&dpr=2#spd=12161886056322360334

The truth is quite the opposite, and this timeline proves it. I can shorten it, but with the internet space is not a problem. I like the detail, and I hope to add a picture or two more if I can find high quality ones. I hope you're not put off by its length.🙂

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This is well sourced, but it's not clear what the article is on. Article titles are not phrased as questions. This draft has a huge amount of detail that's not needed (why does the reader need to know that Georges Clemenceau walked to a town hall at precisely 12:07?), and it jumps around between completely unrelated topics (there's a section on Allied troop movements, and then several paragraphs on Winston Churchill?) I'm sorry to say this, but this draft will need to be completely rewritten to become encyclopedic.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Lives of Winston Churchill and Alfred Milner is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Lives of Winston Churchill and Alfred Milner until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hello, Lord Milner. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Who United the Western Front During World War I?, 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.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Talk:Common law, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Those statements need a cited reliable source please. MichaelMaggs ( talk) 13:32, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks. It's not a big deal for me. I posted it in the talk section, because there is great confusion on the topic. Lord Milner ( talk) 13:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

@ MichaelMaggs, is this message really meant for edits on talkpages? They're not articles. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 14:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

What I was referring to was discussion further down the talk page, where contributors said the writers didn't know what they were talking about. I am not a lawyer, but I do know about this, and these others are welcome to fix the Wikipedia article for readers to make sense of. I have my own page, here, which I hope you find useful: https://thelawresourcepage.quora.com/ Lord Milner ( talk) 15:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Common_law#Narrowing_of_differences_between_common_law_and_civil_law, seems to go into that (the text MM reverted), perhaps you have some good sources to improve the section. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 15:14, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on The Lives of Lord Alfred Milner and Sir Winston Churchill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Lives of Winston Churchill and Alfred Milner. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please do not advise new editors to try to learn how to edit Wikipedia by watching random YouTube videos. Some of these videos may be OK but many of them are terrible, and a new editor may not be able to distinguish between the good ones and the bad ones. Please keep your recommendations within Wikipedia. Please also be sure that your statements about things like use of sandboxes are accurate. Some editors use their sandbox space as I do, some use draft space, some write drafts off-line, and some highly skilled editors can write new articles directly in main space. The bottom line is that you should be reasonably sure that your answer is accurate before you post it to the Teahouse. Thanks. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:43, 5 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, Lord Milner. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Public oversight".

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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:09, 20 May 2023 (UTC) reply

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Peter Perry (Colonialist). Thanks! Greenman ( talk) 17:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC) reply

An article you recently created, Thomas Bentley Mott, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.( ?) 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. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the help. I'm all wrapped up in World War I stuff right now, but Mott's importance is that his writing is the most credible book written on Marshal Foch, who like Zeus, the God of War, descended from heaven to save the Allies, and then retired into obscurity like George Washington.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Asilvering were:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Ferdinand Foch instead.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I really do not think that changing the title will solve either problem here.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Lord Milner/sandbox/Who United the Western Front During World War I and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
