I made a nomination for Logical reasoning to the nominations page but I did a typo; last word in my submission before the question mark should be darkness not light. Is there a proper way to fix this? Thank you! Non-pegasus (talk) 02:28, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the nomination. Please check to see if I did this correctly. PhilKnight (talk) 06:16, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, perfect! Can you help me understand how you did that? When I went to edit the page it only displayed the one-line template instead of the nomination itself. Non-pegasus (talk) 23:02, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think I figured it out. I had to go to the template editting page because the DYK nominations pages would not let me directly reply. Said something about "The "reply" link cannot be used to reply to this comment. To reply, please use the full page editor by clicking "Edit source "." Is this normal for these kinds of Template talk pages? Non-pegasus (talk) 23:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you figured it out. I honestly don't know how common this is, but I've seen it all kinds of pages, not just Template talk. PhilKnight (talk) 14:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Holism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dualism.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Contingency (philosophy) into Draft:Contingency (philosophy). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the notice! I had been trying to save myself the time of flipping between two pages and it didn't even occur to me (for a draft page) that I might need to do something like that. But I will keep that in mind. 🦄 Non-pegasus (talk) 14:50, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On 30 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Logical reasoning, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while feathers are light, and light opposes darkness, feathers do not oppose darkness? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Logical reasoning. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Logical reasoning), 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.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Holism you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Holism 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:Holism and Talk:Holism/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Cessaune -- Cessaune (talk) 05:22, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article Holism you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Holism for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Hello, Non-pegasus. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Contingency (philosophy), 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.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Non-pegasus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Contingency".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
