Your draft article, Draft:History project


Hello, Wil540 art. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "History project".

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. If 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! 18:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zr Saimun
Make a page about zr saimun, i can’t create it. Zr saimun is an Bangladeshi computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur. If you google about zr saimun then you will be able to find out one of the most Bangladeshi celebrity saimun. Create this page it will be very helpful for people. 202.83.127.223 (talk) 15:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you considered making a wikipedia account? I can help you write the article if the person is notable. --Wil540 art (talk) 14:06, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Misha Kahn
Please stop inserting Misha Kahn into the Rhode Island School of Design article. It is unclear that Kahn even meets the threshold of notability for an independent article and he is obviously not among RISD's most famous alumni. Kahn, for example, averages roughly 6 pages each day; this is woefully fewer than Brian Chesky (645), Joe Gebbia (299), James Franco (11,789), and Seth MacFarlane (5,276). Filetime (talk) 05:07, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, good point. I had not looked at the numbers. I will stop inserting Misah Kahn into the article, although have you seen his furniture/sculpture? Perhaps one day he will have those views. I will argue that Franco should be removed as he is not notable for anything he studied or did at RISD, i.e. art. He went to RISD after he was famous. I think he should be replaced with Francesca Woodman and/or Tina Weymouth. --Wil540 art (talk) 05:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Francesca Woodman would definitely qualify though there are unfortunately no photographs of her on Commons. Filetime (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Your edits in Russian Wikipedia
Dear Wil540 art!

I wanted to inform you that I reverted your edits in the article ru:Скейт-парк (Skate park) in Russian Wikipedia. In ruwiki there is a rule that the addition of multiple photos without captions to an article is unacceptable. Anyway, although the photos you added have some artistic value, most of them have little encyclopedical value. Please refrain from adding photos that do not help the reader to better understand the subject.

Best regards,Rijikk (talk) 05:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

note re items
hi. it was great to see you on the zoom call for the nyc meetup chapter. would it be ok if I send you an invite via email, to join the forums site for "movement strategy" i.e. the site that hosts the threads run by Discourse? I hope that's ok. we could really use your input there. feel free to let me know. thanks! Sm8900 (talk) 13:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Ta’Niya Latson moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ta’Niya Latson, 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. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark  •  sniff ) 01:01, 18 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks @AngusWOOF, good points. I added more sources and cleaned it up a bit. I'd like to move it back to the article space. Any thoughts? Wil540 art (talk) 02:23, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see where they meet notability for athletes. WP:NSPORT. Usually college sports don't confer notability unless they have some major national awards. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 06:42, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Wil!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 18:32, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ryan, it's been a pleasure to talk Wiki and also work on some articles together this year!
