Your submission at Articles for creation: Bhutan–Indonesia relations (November 1)[edit]

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Only secondary source cited is valid, but is a database of bilateral trade- does not indicate that the diplomatic relations are notable enough. Suggest merge to Foreign relations articles of each country or cite a source that meets WP:GNG.

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:Bhutan–Indonesia relations 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Considering that there's not much between both countries relations, I have no choice but to delete the article Underdwarf58 (talk) 16:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Underdwarf58! 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! EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 15:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Nevermind, I'm more used to Wikipedia's mobile screen than PC screen. I thought that the extended-protected sign being there means that I still can't edit. Thanks a lot Tollens. I appreciate your help. Underdwarf58 (talk) 06:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LDC map[edit]

Dear Underdwarf58 (talk · contribs), thank you for creating an updated version of the LDC map. Actually, another way of doing it is to update the existing map, by downloading it, editing it in text format and uploading a new version (I just did it). It is not an issue though: now the community can choose between two colour schemes.

Best, Ydecreux (talk) 08:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. The reason why I couldn't do what you said is because I triggered Special:AbuseFilter/290 doing so and I haven't made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits in commons. Underdwarf58 (talk) 12:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
