Brevity

Hello Brevity and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Hello, Brevity,

When you tag an article for deletion, please state this in the edit summary. This is in case a page has the PROD tag removed, an editor can see in the edit history that it has already been PROD'd once and won't do so a second time.

Also, a reminder to always post a notification on the talk page of the page creator with any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/CFD/etc.). If you use Twinkle for tagging pages and set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", Twinkle will post these notices for you which makes things very easy. It's a very useful tool for posting any type of notices on Wikipedia. Thank you! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:51, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Liz, thank you very much for your feedback explaining why things should be done how and pointing me towards the interesting Twinkle tool to help in all these little steps! Cheers, Brevity (talk) 09:05, 27 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: Unison (software) (July 29)

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:

The first reference is a open wiki, and as such is not reliable enough for determining notability. The second is notability defining. The third does not cover this particular software in detail. As such more notability defining sources are needed to meet the general notability guideline.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Unison (software) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Unison (software), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.
