Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Gladiator (2000 film), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Hi Jameskida! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. You're doing good work so far Squawk7700 (talk) 21:23, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you for reviewing the article.
- As mentioned, the individual has received extensive coverage. Due to time constraints, I wasn’t able to include all the references initially. However, that’s not an issue. I now have ample time to address this and will add all the relevant and reliable sources.
- One more thing I’d like to ask: Is the information fine in terms of format and content? I’ve done my best to keep the tone neutral and non-promotional. From what I understand, the only issue seems to be the lack of reliable sources. Once that’s resolved, is everything else in order?
- Thanks again for your time and valuable feedback! Jameskida (talk) 21:31, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Jameskida!
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!

- Oh man, yeah—you’re right. I totally agree with the reasons you and @DoubleGrazing gave. I thought his page would get published because of his actions and the huge coverage he received, but things didn’t go the way I expected. No worries though—I’m a beginner and I’m learning new things every time I create or edit pages on Wikipedia.
- Thank you for your time. Let’s wait and see. I’ll do my best to keep the page updated with new information. Jameskida (talk) 17:53, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
A Barnstar for you!
I lurk around the Teahouse reading every single post, so I can learn as a new-ish editor who's very neurotic about knowing alllll the rules before I contribute more significantly in article space.
Your post helped me learn, and finally look into how to give a Barnstar and the surprising amount of specific, smartly defined "types" of Barnstars one can give! So I want to give you the first Barnstar I'll ever give 😀
Reviewing your talk page and contributions, I am very impressed by how well you take feedback and communicate with other editors in an agreeable, collaborative way. Your Teahouse post showed similar collegial maturity. I've read soooo much of the WP/Talk spaces on en.wiki, going back many years, and the skill of taking constructive criticism with honor and good cheer is WAY more rare than you might realize. In fact, many potentially strong contributors to the 'pedia could not overcome their tendencies to argue against consensus and assume bad faith when experienced Wikipedians are just trying to help them understand the complex, interactive Policies and Guidelines.
In my eyes, the number one best quality a new editor can bring is this attitude of acceptance and civility, and it doesn't come naturally to me as a wound-up anxious person, lol, so you have my utmost respect. These qualities will serve you well in all arenas of life, but they're pretty much a non-negotiable on English Wikipedia, so this Barnstar is well-earned.
(I'm doing this from the mobile app because I'm still a bit overwhelmed with all the options in desktop interface, so I might have to tweak this with a few follow up edits if it doesn't seem to display right!)
