Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

I first noticed your work over on Simple English Wikipedia, but I feel it's more appropriate to post this here, where your Native American Flute article originated. Still not 100% sure when it's appropriate to give a Barnstar and I don't want to contribute to overuse so, enjoy a beer on me. Or feel free to trade it in for a cookie if you're not a big beer fan.

		A beer on me!
		Thanks for your efforts across the many Wikis, namely your original photography. Regards from SimpleWiki, DoctorAdjective (talk) 07:21, 25 February 2016 (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 333-blue was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

 The comment they left was:

Close to OK, but now is not.
