The Backhaus Clock, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Sinnett

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Mike Sinnett requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Polio

Hi, thanks for your edit on polio. A couple of comments

1. you have used the word "currently". Please consider qualifying this using the Template:As of

1. you haven't accurately summarised the source. The other type of polio - cVDPV - has 28 mentions on the page. Currently in the news because of Gaza, but last year detected in New York and London.

Bob (talk) 07:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Sorry about that, I've went ahead and added the "As of" template. As for your second point, I'm not exactly sure how to summarize the source. I've just went ahead and found a different source which is more clearly targeted towards WPV.

Cheers,

3602kiva (talk) 17:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree it's tricky. I'm aiming to do a few edits to other sections of the page to clarify the nature and threat of cVDPV. It's a featured article so I need to plan carefully. Bob (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed misuse

When adding statements to an article, such as you did to Pinus longaeva, they need to have a reference. Adding the Template:Citation needed to your own statement is not appropriate way to avoid this requirement. If you do not have a reference for information you want to add to Wikipedia, find a reliable source or do not add it. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Barnstar for You!

		The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar A new editor on the right path
		While you're not exactly a new editor, your first contribution to AfD (List of busking locations) was excellent. I don't know how this "article" managed to survive for so long. Cheers MWFwiki (talk) 03:31, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Postel 1994

You've got Postel (1994) San Mateo: A Centennial History listed in the further reading of Crystal Springs Dam, but you'll want to use p. 27 as it gives some detail as to how it was built that you don't have in the article. I linked to it up above on Internet Archive. Viriditas (talk) 18:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note, you've also got unsourced content in the article that you'll need to add citations to for the article to pass GAN. Viriditas (talk) 18:03, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for messing up the citation, but you figured out what I meant. Make sure that everything that appears in the lead is cited in the body. The third paragraph of the background section is still unsourced, as is the fourth paragraph (or sentence) of the construction section and the second paragraph of the operations and repairs section. Viriditas (talk) 23:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. I appreciate all of the great help and feedback! 3602kiva (talk) 00:12, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Crystal Springs Dam

The article Crystal Springs Dam you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Crystal Springs Dam and Talk:Crystal Springs Dam/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of RoySmith -- RoySmith (talk) 22:44, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just realized that the message that was autogenerated here makes promises beyond what I intended. I just wanted to put this on hold to give you time to work on it. I'm not necessarily promising a pass at the end of the week. RoySmith (talk) 15:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
