Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Chaim Thau, from its old location at User:Milwaukee911. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 02:19, 12 February 2025 (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 MWFwiki was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Please review MOS:PROSE and WP:NOTESSAY, along with WP:NPOV. Things like "click here," "hence," "but not the last," "to paraphrase," just as examples, are not appropriate encyclopedic language.

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:Chaim Thau and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hello, Milwaukee911! 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!  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 22:53, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce links to draft articles in actual articles, as you did to Jewish partisans. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:41, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know....my apologies! Thanks for correcting Milwaukee911 (talk) 18:48, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arjayay,

Here is an update to my "draft" article (regarding Charles "Chaim" Thau), which I prematurely included in into the Jewish partisan page, and which you rightfully corrected me given it conflicts to the Manual of Style.

As of today, my article is no longer a draft, and has been accepted by Wikipedia (Start class).

Can the link now be included in the Jewish Partisan article?

Most respectfully. Milwaukee911 (talk) 10:28, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Thau, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Charles Thau, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dugout. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi Milwaukee911, I'm just reaching out as I've been reverting a number recent edits of yours. Your edits are breaking references and leaving numerous redlinks in the article. See your edits here as an example. Leaving an article in this state is unacceptable, and any edits testing things out should generally be done in your sandbox. Please let me know if you have any questions. Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 14:28, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So sorry Katie’s….I got carried away in making a change, and it snowballed!

Appreciate the heads up (and monitoring my progress.

Will not happen again.

Thanks Milwaukee911 (talk) 15:27, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Milwaukee911! I was just glancing at Charles Thau again, and just wanted to give a friendly tip based on another issue I was noticing. If you scroll down to the bottom of the current version of the page, you'll notice there are five list-defined reference errors. This is because all references have to be cited somewhere within the content of the article. Currently, you just have them cited in the references section, which is what's causing those errors to show up. Citing those references within the article will fix the errors. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions! Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 14:29, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
