Concern regarding Draft:Caprica
editHello, Endersslay. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Caprica, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occurred, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:02, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Caprica
editHello, Endersslay. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Caprica".
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! 18:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
December 2023
editThanks for contributing to the article Band of the Grenadier Guards. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 18:06, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Just wanted to clarify, is it allowed to have an image as a source? I had used an image of the band to see what the different instruments were, so would it be possible to use said image to give proof? Endersslay (talk) 18:26, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Munitions factory moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Munitions factory, 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 "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. Dewritech (talk) 18:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for notifying me! Endersslay (talk) 18:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Cabal
editShould we make a userbox or a wiki ad for the cabal Cyprus76 (talk) 19:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh you already made one lol Cyprus76 (talk) 19:53, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Revert
editYou may have received an alert that I reverted an edit of yours at Basileus. That was my mistake; you'd reverted a vandalising edit by an IP, but that still left two vandalising edits made one and two minutes before that one. I wanted to revert everything but instead only reverted you - sorry! I've restored the last good version. NebY (talk) 22:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for telling me, not a problem! Endersslay (talk) 14:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Block message:
Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Lineargraphing". The reason given for Lineargraphing's block is: "Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia".
Accept reason: Okay. I have lifted the autoblock. Note that we likely won't lift any further autoblocks involving any of these users, so please ensure Lineargraphing no longer signs in to Wikipedia from the same IP address as you. Yamla (talk) 14:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
There's clearly a connection between these two accounts, plus Cyprus76. Please explain the specific relationship between these three accounts. --Yamla (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- You need to respond here. If you are unable to leave a comment here, there's no point considering lifting the autoblock. --Yamla (talk) 14:33, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, it's working now. So, I know Cyprus76 and Lineargraphing IRL. As far as I know, Cyprus76 is not here to be disruptive, and I know that I am not either. Lineargraphing is new to Wikipedia, and may have made a mistake. However, I cannot be entirely certain on that. --Endersslay (talk) 14:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Links to user pages and sandboxes
editPlease do not introduce links in actual articles to user pages or sandboxes, as you did at The Minstrel Boy. Since these pages have not been accepted as articles, user pages, sandboxes and drafts are not suitable for linking in articles. and such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been deleted, please do not re-add any such links, thank you - Arjayay (talk) 14:01, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert
editThanks for reverting that edit. There IS a more targeted warning you can use when someone adds "PBUH" in an Islamic-related edit: {{uw-islamhon}} lt lets the editor know more specifically what was wrong with the edit, since these are often good-faith efforts. No requirement to use it, but it's there if you want it. (Totally unrelated, I quite enjoyed your list of funny vandalisms.) Joyous! Noise! 20:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
