Lint errors.

Hi. There's an issue with the markup in your new draft. I made one example edit to highlight how to fix it (see the page history). The other 21 places with the same type of error are listed here Special:LintErrors/wikilink-in-extlink. -- 92.18.76.185 (talk) 07:08, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I will have a look. Thornpw (talk) 08:08, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: ST Offline Tournament (October 8)

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

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.

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.

Hello pythoncoder,

thanks for the comments. I write about a competition that run for nearly 7 years and all the links reference to existing threads on a well known community (Atari-Forum) with hundrets of users. I also added 3 references to sites i'm not related to. I would like to add more references, but in don't know how. I respect wikipedia rules, but regarding to esports tournaments on forums that runs for more than 5 years, I don't know what else I could reference. I saw articles about football tournaments of non UEFA teams that are happened two years in a row and this was approved, while our tournament runs for 7 years. Beside the source of truth and mentioning the tournament in articles its hard to reference it. A Wikipedia article should help to make it public that we are writing history for a nich since years. It is important to know that such stuff exists to understand why eSports is getting bigger and bigger I think. Please give some advice how to proceed.
