Speedy deletion nomination of Dotted I with curve at bottom

Hello BodhiHarp,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Dotted I with curve at bottom for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Dotted I with curve at bottom to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

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

I created the article because the Dotted I with curve at bottom links to Dotted I with curve at bottom which doesn't exist instead Draft:Dotted I curve at bottom exists I don't know how to rename so anyone can easily view it from any Cyrillic page on the right side BodhiHarp (talk) 02:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ra (Cyrillic)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Ra (Cyrillic), is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Small capital reversed R (March 25)

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

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.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Small capital reversed R and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Voiceless linguolabial nasal moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Voiceless linguolabial nasal. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Please provide sources for the information in the article as per WP:VERIFY..

Notability of drafts

I see that you are working on multiple related drafts, including Draft:Small capital reversed R, that have obstacles to becoming articles. Several sources there appear to be WP:User generated, and others may be insufficient for showing general notability. Some of the other drafts have not started referencing at all. Magazines, newspapers, and books are often useful. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 20:29, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Voiceless linguolabial nasal (April 30)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Ca was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: I'm sorry, but a sound used in zero languages is not an encyclopedic topic.

Ca ^{talk to me!} 12:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BodhiHarp! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Ca ^talk to me! 12:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BodhiHarp, I saw your post on the AfC help desk. I rejected your article since I believed it had little potential to be expanded beyond its current state. As of writing, the draft only details the diacritics symbols used in its notation and contains virtually no information about the sound itself. If you can find coverage on reliable sources specifically discussing this sound in disordered speech, I will be happy to un-reject your draft. Ca ^{talk to me!} 03:33, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that the upper-pharyngeal plosive articles are sounds also not found in any real-world languages. While I argue that they have more substantial coverage than the voiceless linguolabial nasal, I will un-reject your draft for the sake of fairness. Ca ^{talk to me!} 03:45, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative instead.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This page doesn’t indicate any significance of this letter outside of the International Phonetic Alphabet (e.g. it doesn’t appear to be in any languages’ alphabets). As such, I don’t think we need an article that discusses the character independently of the IPA.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Proposed deletion of Turned r with mid-height left hook

The article Turned r with mid-height left hook has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of any notability for this.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please take a look at WP:GNG.

warning

when you add something to an article, and others object, you need to take it to talk

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. An edit war occurs when two or more users begin repeatedly changing content—in a back-and-forth fashion—back to how they think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree with their changes. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. The best practice at this stage is to discuss the disagreements, issues, and concerns at-hand, not to engage in edit-warring. Wikipedia provides a page that details how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — kwami (talk) 22:46, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

retroflex trill
