Advice for selecting new article topics
Hey @YordleSquire, I noticed your first article ended up at AfD (Articles for Deletion) and just wanted to tell you that this happens to a lot of new editors (one of my first articles on a state special election was deleted), so don't be discouraged. If you want to keep writing new articles, you should read the general notability guidelines and try to select topic you think meet the criteria there.

If you want to keep writing articles about politicians, you should read the politician notability guidelines. When I first started writing biographies, I focused on people elected to the State House and Senate in my home state because elected state legislators almost always meet WP:NPOL and aren't likely to be AfDed. Most states are missing pages for state legislators, so I recommend that as a place to start if you like writing biographies.

Whatever topic you choose, you should try and see if you can find a topic specific notability guideline and meet those criteria, and when in doubt you can always meet the general notability guidelines. Good luck with your future editing! TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 18:09, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!
 * And that's really good advice. I'll see if I can find some state politicians who don't have articles.

October 2023
Hi YordleSquire! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician)‎ that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 11:00, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician)‎ has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. That was not a typo  Doug Weller  talk 11:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay sorry.
 * I was editing my own previous edit
 * It was supposed to be "80% of the body"
 * But I forgot "of the body" and the sentence didn't make sense without it.
 * I guess that isn't strictly a typo. YordleSquire (talk) 14:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

AFD comments
Hello, YordleSquire,

For some reason, your comments on AFD discussions are appear oddly and can be seen as disrupting the discussion. Look at Articles for deletion/Abdul Karim Ahmad (2nd nomination) for example, your remarks are spread over several lines, there are unexpected line breaks and it is disruptive compared to other comments in the discussion. AFDs are not a place to be visually creative, the editors who participate there often review dozens of deletion discussions, their time is limited and the formatting should be predictable and the same for all editors. You may have cleverness in the argument you put forward to Keep or Delete an article but please just adhere to the standard reply format. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know. I wasn't aware that there were random line breaks. When I quoted policy, I think I tried to block quote, but will try to be consistent with other comments going forward. YordleSquire (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
