Hi NoBrainFound, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Our intro page provides helpful information for new users—please check it out! If you have any questions, you can get help from experienced editors at the Teahouse. Happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 20:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did see the draft, yes. It looks like information about pictures is already covered at the Images article (which is actually where Picture redirects to), so you should try working on that article – 'Image' is even the current article for improvement! Just keep in mind that added information should be supported by reliable sources, and let me know if you have any questions. Wikipedia has a lot of policies and guidelines covering editing, and it can be pretty confusing when you first get started, so feel free to come by my talk page if you ever have any questions.

If the topic is already taken, you shouldn't make a duplicate article – it would be unnecessary and probably waste too much of your time as there's already a lot of information in the Image article. In addition, creating an article on Wikipedia is pretty difficult nowadays for new editors since there's so many guidelines to follow to do it well. I haven't even made one myself yet, and I've been here for three years. If you really want to create an article, you could try looking in the list of requested articles for more specific subjects to write about – although note that one being listed there doesn't mean it's suitable for Wikipedia.
I've seen your question on my talk page about reliable sources and will respond there soon so as to avoid splintering the same discussion across multiple pages. Please let me know if you have more questions, and happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 00:27, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Accidental revert of your edit, fixed now
Hi @NoBrainFound, I accidentally clicked "rollback" when viewing recent changes to Wikipedia and reverted your edit on Perfect4th's talk page. I nearly immediately fixed the error. I am sure Perfect4th will see your message. Sorry for the inconvenience. Incidentally, I have rollback set to warn before actioning but it appears that I found a bug where it doesn't always work. I will investigate. Have a nice day. Commander Keane (talk) 00:36, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NoBrainFound, sorry to be this blunt, but Draft:Picture as it stands will not be accepted into the main article space.
Reviewers won't add another article to the encyclopedia when Wikipedia already has an article for that subject, and while you added sources in general to the article, the sources need to be backing up what the article says.
I looked at both of the links you listed and neither of them said anything similar to your article; the noaa.gov link doesn't have anything to do with pens at all. You're falling into a common problem that new editors face when creating a new article: you're writing it backwards.
Articles on Wikipedia don't first say what editors think they should say and then afterwards find links to add; editors look at what sources say and then the articles should summarize what the sources say. Wikipedia's first job is to summarize sources, not write new things.
All of this is why it's so hard for newcomers to write new articles, because there's specific policies that apply to articles that it's hard to understand without having edited for a while first. I really think you would have an easier time if you tried editing some existing articles first. Some things you can do are to check out your Homepage or the Task Center, fix some typos, or look at some WikiProjects for stuff you're interested in and see what needs doing. If you get a feel for how articles work and then try and write a new one it will be much easier.
Sorry if this is discouraging, but I wanted to explain more about reliable sources so you could take another look at your draft and see what I was referring to. Do let me know if you have any more questions about sources, drafts, or other editing opportunities! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 01:58, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Image. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
The comment the reviewer left was:
We have an existing article Image. Can this information be included in it?
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Picture and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, NoBrainFound!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 04:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad you're working on the Image article! Let me know if you have any specific questions. And don't forget you can always try working on some of the things I mentioned above (your homepage, the Task Center, fixing typos, and WikiProjects you're interested in) to get used to Wikipedia guidelines. It'll make it easier to find ways to contribute and build the encyclopedia. Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi NoBrainFound! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Image that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a 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. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 论02:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
@NoBrainFound, your edits to Image are not "grammar fixes", and they should not be marked as minor edits, but it is certain that you putting them back repeatedly without acknowledgement is not acceptable. Remsense ‥ 论17:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
