Information icon Hello, JamieF. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Hotel Metropolitan (Paducah, Kentucky), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Hello, JamieF

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Joseywales1961, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Carlton R. Waterhouse, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Joseywales1961}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Josey Wales Parley 19:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Joseywales1961: Thank you for your timely efforts. I have moved it into draft space - Apologies, I didn't realize I had left off "Draft:[Article name]" in the creation process. (I was mid-writing the article when it was nominated for deletion). I redirected to the draft and have requested Speedy Deletion. Thanks again. JamieF ( talk) 20:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Did you volunteer to write for The Signpost?

I saw your suggestion for a View it! writup mentioned at the Signpost newsroom and would like to invite you to go ahead and write the piece under consideration. We've hopefully made this easy for contributors.

Do you have time to click the "Create opinion proposal" button in this page and start your item in the page it creates for you? Ping me back when you are ready, and I can take it from there.

Our writing deadline for the November issue is Saturday. But it would probably be OK for a December item if you can't make it. ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:41, 21 November 2022 (UTC) reply

@Bri I did. Would it be alright if I waited for December? Apologies for my delayed response! JamieF ( talk) 22:32, 26 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi Bri, my apologies - I responded from mobile and I did not realize you were not tagged in my response. I hope writing for December is still okay. Should I work on the draft in the Quick start, or would a Sandbox draft and then moving to quick start be better? Thanks again for reaching out - I appreciate you taking the time and your efforts! JamieF ( talk) 18:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

A quick start would be best for me, then there's less effort shoehorning it into Signpost formatting templates (which are kind of fragile). Oh yeah, December's fine obviously the November issue was sent out a couple of days ago. ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:35, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Hello, JamieF

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Joseywales1961, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Carlton R. Waterhouse, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Joseywales1961}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@ Joseywales1961: Thank you for your timely efforts. I have moved it into draft space - Apologies, I didn't realize I had left off "Draft:[Article name]" in the creation process.

Did you volunteer to write for The Signpost?

I saw your suggestion for a View it! writup mentioned at the Signpost newsroom and would like to invite you to go ahead and write the piece under consideration. We've hopefully made this easy for contributors.

Do you have time to click the "Create opinion proposal" button in this page and start your item in the page it creates for you? Ping me back when you are ready, and I can take it from there.

Our writing deadline for the November issue is Saturday. But it would probably be OK for a December item if you can't make it. ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:41, 21 November 2022 (UTC) reply

@Bri I did. Would it be alright if I waited for December? Apologies for my delayed response! JamieF ( talk) 22:32, 26 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi Bri, my apologies - I responded from mobile and I did not realize you were not tagged in my response. I hope writing for December is still okay. Should I work on the draft in the Quick start, or would a Sandbox draft and then moving to quick start be better? Thanks again for reaching out - I appreciate you taking the time and your efforts! JamieF ( talk) 18:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

A quick start would be best for me, then there's less effort shoehorning it into Signpost formatting templates (which are kind of fragile). Oh yeah, December's fine obviously the November issue was sent out a couple of days ago. ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:35, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
