User talk:Mark Simon Mann

A tag has been placed on Draft:Mark Mann (photographer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. GPL93 (talk) 19:02, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary again, as you did at Draft:Mark Mann (photographer), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have done this four times; please see my comment on your draft. I₂Overcome ^talk 01:37, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Sarsenet. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 13:07, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

"Hi Sarsenet, thanks for the heads up. I've been using a thought partner to help me find the right Wikipedia rules and organize my thoughts because I'm new to this and find the formatting tricky on my phone. I'm a real person (Mark) just trying to get these archive links right for my appeal with qcne. I'll make sure to put things more in my own words going forward. Thanks!"

Please note that drafts such as Draft:Mark Mann (photographer) are not allowed to be filed in categories as if they were already finished articles, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The page must stay out of any categories while it's in draft, and may be added to categories only if and when it's been accepted and moved by an WP:AFC reviewer. The page has had to be pulled out of categories by myself or other editors at least five times now, however — so do not put it back into categories again. Also, note as well that there can be consequences for disobeying this rule, such as the immediate deletion of the draft, its semiprotection so that you can no longer edit it at all, or the temporary or permanent removal of your editing privileges on grounds of disruption.

Hi Bearcat, I sincerely apologize. I am new to Wikipedia and didn't realize the code I was using had active categories at the bottom. I was following advice to fix formatting and missed checking the footer. I have now commented them out (``) as requested to comply with WP:DRAFTNOCAT. It won't happen again. Thanks for the cleanup. Mark Simon Mann (talk) 15:58, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

If you understood it and promised that it wouldn't happen anymore, then why are you still persistently putting the page back into categories again? You need to stop it. Bearcat (talk) 20:13, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

I am genuinely so sorry. I completely misunderstood how the category coding works in Drafts vs. Live articles. I thought I was fixing formatting, but I accidentally reactivated the categories. I have now commented them out entirely using `` tags to ensure they do not appear. I am not trying to be disruptive, just learning the syntax. Thank you for your patience, your feedback is appreciated again I'm sorry Mark Simon Mann (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Light Gallery, 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.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hello and congratulations for having your page accepted, I suggest you add some sources to the “photographers displayed” section of the article, which I have placed a “citation needed” comment which you can remove once sources are shown to accurately show that those specific photographers were used at the Light gallery. You can also use offline sources if you have a newspaper in real life for example, or something from another second party. If you need any help please refer to the Teahouse.
