Thanks - I saw them. The comments were correct and I corrected the record. My apologies on the late response - I still don't really 'get' how this running commentary works. GulfSails (talk) 07:27, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Michael S. Howell


Hello, GulfSails. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Michael S. Howell".

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, , or  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!  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Missvain (talk) 23:16, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

GulfSails, please don't be too hard on Missvain; I understand why they imposed the block, as in general website names are not permitted as usernames; what I note above is a permitted exception. 331dot (talk) 19:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I have at times found contributing to wikipedia to be very tedious, especially when creating a new page. This block made me upset when I feel like I am and have been making some reasonably valuable contributions.

Rathbone DeBuys page
Hey GulfSails,

Not sure how to communicate effectively, but if you can read this I’d love to know more about the yacht clubs on the coast and any background on the DeBuys family.

I am also a journalist and history enthusiast living on the gulf coast closer to Gulfport MS.

My email is lyndle.berryhill@gmail.com

Feel free to contact me :) Lsberryh (talk) 23:34, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
