Hello RachelWex. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Yolanda Retter".

thanks for Yolanda Retter; it will stand no problem. Duckduckstop (talk) 20:09, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yolanda Retter, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pasadena and Silver Lake. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Wikiisawesome. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Ricky Martin— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. /wia /talk 15:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a section about Ricky Martin's sexuality here in the article; so I think per WP:MOSLEAD that his sexuality doesn't need to be in the lede. /wia /talk 15:21, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:22, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Wiki Loves Pride Minnesota requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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.

Rachel, I went ahead and requested the deletion of Talk:Wiki Loves Pride Minnesota. But don't worry, this won't affect the meetup page. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Rachel. Thanks for starting the Wiki Loves Pride 2016 page. I saw your request on the Participants' talk page re: how to create a meetup page for your local event. Would Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/Minnesota work? I went ahead and added a red link to the Wiki Loves Pride 2016 page. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:29, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • By the way, if you can think of any LGBT-related articles specific to Minnesota that should be created or expanded, feel free to create a "Tasks" section on the MN meetup page! I've been working on notable LGBT drinking establishments and gay bars, but perhaps there are some LGBT organizations, legislation, etc to work on. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?

1. Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
2. Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
3. Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for creating this event listing! I hope this event goes well. Just a recommendation - when you create an event like this, it's best to add it to the calendar template. This allows people to find and track it, and also will likely increase the likelihood of remote support from experienced contributors who can correct mistakes on pages created and give feedback to new contributors. Hope this is helpful to you, let me know if any thoughts or questions. Blythwood (talk) 13:50, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Blythwood, how are you doing? Could you tell me how to create a calendar template for April, May, June, and July 2017? I have a Wikipedia event in April and one in July. Thanks!

Hello, I'm 220 of Borg. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Fierce Pussy. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 23:40, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Hello, please ensure that when you add an article to a category, that category is supported in the article text with statements with citations to reliable sources. For example, you added Sammy Haggar to Category:Jewish heavy metal musicians. There is no sourced statement in the article indicating he is Jewish, so this in an incorrect use of categories. Please let me know if you have any questions. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:25, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rachel, you had reached out to know if anyone was working on LGBTIQ issues on the francophone wiki. I have started a collaboration for wikipermancences in Lestime, a local LGBT association in Geneva. I hope we will be able to produce useful content around the history of feminism and LGBTIQ in Switzerland. --Nattes à chat (talk) 21:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RachelWex! Thanks for being active in efforts like #1lib1ref. Just one suggestion, you could have your edit summaries use [[meta:The Wikipedia Library/1Lib1Ref|#1lib1ref]] so it appears as a link, too: #1lib1ref.

Keep up the great work! = paul2520 (talk) 20:10, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Education about the Holocaust, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Kurdish genocide and Intolerance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chetsford was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Folx (gender neutral term) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Folx (gender neutral term), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello, RachelWex. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "A Wider Bridge".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. 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. HasteurBot (talk) 22:01, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RachelWex! Thanks for starting the article on Emma Jane Gay. It's GREAT. I just added an infobox, as I found a photo of her on the Commons. Was curious if you had given thought to nominating the article for a Did you know... I think it's in great shape, and meets the length & newness requirements. Plus we can try to get it to use the photo (though if we find a photo she took, that would be fab). If you'd like, I can help and/or nominate the article myself. = paul2520 (talk) 22:19, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
