Galena High School (Kansas)

Please don't remove "red" wikilinks that link to uncreated Kansas school district articles. One of the benefits of keeping these red links for kansas school districts is it stops stupid bots and editor tools from automatically converting "USD 499" into "USD $499" currency. The wikilink brackets stop this stupid automated change. Over time, I have been creating new school district articles, so eventually these links will point to an article. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 15:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait... You call those bots stupid? Sparkbean (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If a bot or tool automatically converts a school district into currency, then it sure the heck isn't smart, LOL. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 22:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

Hi Sparkbean! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Espresso (song) 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. 84.217.39.2 (talk) 12:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a problem, but a lot of my large edits were minor, so I had to agree with this. Sparkbean (talk) 16:33, 26 October 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 BuySomeApples 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.
