Recent edits to Colorado Caucus
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Colorado Caucus, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

 * All content added to Wikipedia must be verifiable, and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia.

 * I might also suggest that you read What Wikipedia is not. Based on the content on your user page, and your web site that you link to, you seem to be advocating a particular political position regarding the Colorado Caucus. However, Wikipedia should be first and foremost an encyclopedia which aims to create a breadth of high-quality, neutral, verifiable articles and to become a serious, respected reference work. Articles must be balanced to put entries, especially for current events, in a reasonable perspective, and represent a neutral point of view. You may add factual information about the Colorado Caucus, but not opinionated statements, like how Colorado's use of the singular form of "Caucus" (as opposed to the plural Iowa Caucuses) "is a way to disparage the process", without a citation to a reliable, published source (and no, your own web sites would not normally count, see Identifying reliable sources). Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Book:Robert Langs


The book Book:Robert Langs has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern: "1 page book. Download as PDF feature is simpler for 1 page."

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, books may be deleted for several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the book's talk page.

Please consider improving the book to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes still exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and the miscellany for deletion process allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 20:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

John Scott Wren moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, John Scott Wren, is not suitable 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 " " 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. ... disco spinster   talk  20:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to John Scott Wren. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
