Hello, Melodykramer. I am Aquarius2018 and a fellow wikipedian/editor. I am interested in polishing the Campaign Finance in the United States article and I thought you brought some useful resources to the article's talk page. The post is time stamped August 2016. Your suggestion to clarify definitions and terms is the place I thought necessary to begin tackling the article. Are you still interested and/or able to volunteer to work on edits? Best wishes, Aquarius2018 ( talk) 17:43, 5 September 2018 (UTC)Aquarius2018 reply

A tag has been placed on Heidi Saman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. ~Styyx ^{Talk? ^-^} 19:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

See also WP:FILMMAKER.

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 when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Heidi Saman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Heidi Saman, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{ Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Hello, Melodykramer! 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! Greenman ( talk) 08:16, 12 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi there. I see you’re relatively new so I wanted to let you know that “minor edits” are (a bit counter-intuitively) something to invoke sparingly—it’s only for edits that you can reasonably assume no one would ever disagree with, like an unambiguous misspelling. Attending to this matters because some people filter their watchlists to exclude minor edits, so it’s a matter of community trust that they all be uncontroversial. Quoting a tweet, though a small edit, is one someone might disagree with due to our WP:No original research policy, and I’ve reverted for that reason. If a reliable secondary source gives the same quote tho, feel free to add it back! Happy editing, Innisfree987 ( talk) 23:34, 2 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Thanks! I appreciate you correcting me! I'll try to find a different source! Melodykramer ( talk) 23:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC) reply

That’d be great, thank you! Innisfree987 ( talk) 23:42, 2 May 2022 (UTC) reply

The article Damon Seils has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not meeting WP:NPOL or WP:GNG.

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.

Hello, Melodykramer. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Heidi Saman, 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 22:01, 8 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, Melodykramer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Heidi Saman".

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!} 22:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC) reply
