Add topicJoão Luís Martins moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, João Luís Martins, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article Joseph Colley has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Has not appeared in a professional game of football. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY.

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.

AfC notification: Draft:Peyman Keshavarzi has a new comment
[edit]- The notability of this person is not in question. The issue is how much, if any, of the content came from banned/blocked editors. If you wrote it from scratch or only imported references and unquestionably accurate "bare facts" from previously-deleted versions, it should be okay. If you based your original version on a version created by someone else who was editing after being blocked or banned, there may need to be some additional rewriting. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
[edit]
Hi ShadowBallX, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Sohom (talk) 15:28, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
[edit]
Hi ShadowBallX, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
- Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
- If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
- If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies
You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! —TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 03:12, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
