Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited TransPennine Express, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pennine. 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 Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Non-notable local politician - fails WP:NPOLITICIAN

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

The article Alitalia Flight 1553 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:Alitalia Flight 1553 and Talk:Alitalia Flight 1553/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

The article Alitalia Flight 1553 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Alitalia Flight 1553 for comments about the article, and Talk:Alitalia Flight 1553/GA1 for the nomination.

On 6 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alitalia Flight 1553, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a 15-year-old swim team member is credited with saving several lives in the crash of Alitalia Flight 1553? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alitalia Flight 1553. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Alitalia Flight 1553), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits, specifically one that you made on 2023 Covenant School shooting, may have been a change that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When making possibly controversial changes, it is good practice to first discuss your edit on the article's talk page before making it, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. Thank you. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently made edits related to governmental regulation of firearm ownership; the social, historical and political context of such regulation; and the people and organizations associated with these issues. This is a standard message to inform you that governmental regulation of firearm ownership; the social, historical and political context of such regulation; and the people and organizations associated with these issues is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of.

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This could be notable (in fact, seems like it should be notable), but the sources currently cited aren't enough to establish that. Source #1 is user-generated and may or may not be reliable; #2 appears in a reliable secondary sources but seems to be a photo blog; #3 is the church's own website; and #4 provides at-best-borderline coverage, and is in any case a primary source.

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.

Hi Derpytoucan, I am working to update Scott Bessent's Wikipedia article. I see that you have an interest in American politics, and since Mr. Bessent is an associate of Donald Trump, I'm hoping that you will take a look at the edit request I have posted here. Would you consider adding the information to the article?
