Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Draft:World Gardens, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Do not remove previous decline messages. Continuing to do so will be considered disruptive editing. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Aria di Città, 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 or WP:NABLBUMand thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks for creating some new articles. I'd like to make a couple of points. First, discogs isn't a reliable source (see the list here). Second, because of the similarity between your user name and the subject of the articles you're editing, I also ask that you read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and comment here on whether or not you have a conflict of interest. Thanks. EddieHugh (talk) 22:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Dear EddieHugh, thank you for your advice about Discogs. I have just removed Discogs, Cd baby and Cd Universe in all the pages that I have created and I won't use it anymore, of course after your useful input. As for the COI, please, have a look at my Robmag profile where I've explained and given evidence of my position (yes, it's Roberto Magris, and I've updated and completed the page on me - which was created by somebody else, not related with me and that I don't know - by creating some more pages about my recordings, plus more - see at my Robmag profile, please - while locked at home in Italy, where I'd returned just in time, in these bad virus-times). As you can see, I've never included nothing but what's strictly referred to the sources (no comments, no promotion, no self-anything) and the sources that I've included are immediately check-able on-line by clicking on the link, of course. As I've seen that you're taking care of jazz and jazz pianists in Wikipedia (thank you!), you will also notice that in all the pages that I've created the sources are Down Beat, All Music, All About Jazz, Jazz Hot and only magazines and websites that are absolutely renowned in the jazz community. Sorry, for including Discogs etc. without being aware that they are not reliable sources, but I must say that, before starting working on Wikipedia (also in Italian and German), I had checked before what sources were quoted in other similar pages of my collegues and I did the same... Sorry, but had used a wrong model... No problem, in the future pages that I'll create and I'll carefully follow the guidelines that you nicely mentioned. I hope I've cleared up the 2 points you made. If not or if there is something more that is needed that I do, please let me know. I remain at your disposal and thank you, once again, for your dedication to jazz. Best wishes. User:Robmag Roberto Magris

Thanks for your reply. If you've read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and are happy to proceed, then that's fine; I should point out that some editors here are very intolerant of people editing articles that are about themselves, so you might encounter that.... I'll probably look through the articles that you've created at some point, so don't be alarmed if you see me editing lots of them. Please ask if you'd like help with anything. And stay safe. EddieHugh (talk) 20:03, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank very much, Eddie, for your nice reply. Yes, I've read the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and it's fine for me. You're welcome to edit and change whatever you think it's necessary in the articles that I've created. No problem. Only, I wonder how/when that "warning" about COI can be removed from the top of the Roberto Magris article. Maybe you can remove it or should it remain there? Best wishes. User:Robmag Roberto Magris

I'll take a look at it; the article probably just needs a bit of a tidy before the COI template can be removed. I didn't know about your Elmo Hope albums... I rewrote the article on him a few years ago, as he's one of the many who are neglected figures. EddieHugh (talk) 20:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

It's good to show notability for creative works by quoting from reviews. But you don't need to quote quite so extensively. Boil it down. DS (talk) 15:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do it. Thank you for your advice (User:Robmag) 12:14, 23 April 2020

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:47, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

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

This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Some more context about the album would be good. Try to write some more prose about the reviews and what they say about the album rather than just listing them in the "Professional ratings" template. It seems you've forgotten to put some of the review scores in for Jazzism, JazzWax, Jazz World Quest, Jazz'halo and Doppio Jazz.

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 it after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lovely Day(s) 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.

Okay thanks, I’ll do it. As for the missing scores that you mentioned, I’ve double checked and all the links to the articles work fine. So, please, let me further know what’s exactly missing about those links. As a side note, a previous Wiki reviewer wrote to me exactly the contrary… not to add prose nor long comments bu just focus and increase the data. So I did this latest according to the previous instructions 😁. ~2026-47567-5 (talk) 09:57, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, the links to the articles for the scores work fine, but the actual scores themselves are missing from the box. For future reference, Template:Music ratings states "The template is not to be a substitute for a section in paragraph form, since a review can not be accurately boiled down to a simple rating out of five stars or other numeric score". Even a small comment would work great, like "Writing for Foobar Magazine, Joe Bloggs said the album was [...]" etc. I've written quite a few reception sections myself, check out the "Critical reception" section on Quaristice for a rough idea of what is expected.

Okay. Thanks! ~2026-47567-5 (talk) 10:05, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Just posted a revised version following your nice guidelines. I hope you like and possibly approve it or let me know how to further adjust if necessary. Not been able to upload the cd cover (could you help, please?). Thanks. Best Robmag (talk) 18:11, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Lovely Day(s). Thanks! Two pieces of toast (talk) 11:48, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I've further adjusted the draft following the guidelines and inputs that you nicely gave me. I'd appreciate if you check it now again and let me know if it's finally ok for being published. Best Robmag (talk) 17:50, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry to say, but you make it more and more complicate… I made it perfect at the very beginning, than the first reviewer wrote that the content was poor and I had to do similarly to what he did giving me an example of a page he did. And I did so. Then a further more reviewer wrote that I had to quote the resources and not change the text but report it ad it was in the resources. Now, you write now the contrary and that it shouldn’t quote and report the exact phrases. Guys… I am 67 and I have the impression that all together you are selfish and each of you wants what he wants, no matter if it’s the contrary of the previous. I am quite fed up with you all as this is not serious. I even contributed with some donation to Wikipedia in the past and now I wonder what’s this mess ?!?! My initial draft was just perfect and correct and after 2 months we’re questioning on every time different matters. Please, you can find 3 different versions made of my draft to match the request of 3 different people reviewers (???), you can adjust/remove what you (the latest) think isn’t correct (for you, but not for your previous collegues) or you can finally remove my draft and I’ll finish to take care of Wikipedia anymore. There is a limit as this is not serious. I’ve seen incredibly selfish things, with fake resources and so and nobody cares of removing that. With me, that I always provide double checked and absolutely reliable sources now it seems you alternatively say… this is too much, this is too little, this has no source(not true), this may have copyright (when I see that all the musicians have those same sources). Bah! This world has become quite strange and hard and harder to dear. I stop with this and let to some rare intelligent people to operate in Wikipedia. Have a nice evening. Robmag (talk) 21:02, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I understand the creation and submission process can be frustrating. That's why we at the AFC insist novice editors become familiar with Wikipedia's rules first before considering creating an article. Just to be clear, you should never copypaste text from a source under copyright, with the exception of directly reporting what someone said. Copyright is a very serious issue in wikipedia and that is why I had to remove the text. Don't be discouraged! Perhaps what you need is to get some feedback or have your questions answered. I can do that or, if you prefer, you can request assistance from other editors at the Help desk. NeoGaze (talk) 23:03, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. I’ve just done the requested further adjustments. Please, have a look at it now. Robmag (talk) 22:10, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Great! I will let another editor take a look at the draft to avoid potential biases. NeoGaze (talk) 22:58, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello Robmag! Your additions to Draft:Lovely Day(s) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license—to request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing.
