Tip of the day...

Check your work before you save, using Preview

When you edit a page, you can use the Preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).

An even faster way to preview a page is with the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift+alt+P.

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Watermelon steak at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 02:47, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Calendar era

As per WP:ERA (for context on this guideline see here and here), Wikipedia has no preference for BCE/CE over BC/AD, and the format should not be arbitrarily changed from one to the other without establishing a consensus to do so. Please refrain from changing BC/AD to BCE/CE without discussion, thank you.— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 18:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Battle of Bagdad moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Battle of Bagdad, 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. buidhe 02:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
