Hello Return request Handball player article
edit@FormalDude It appears that the article on Moslem Kazemi was moved to draft space because it currently lacks sufficient reliable sources. Wikipedia requires verifiable and credible sources to ensure the accuracy and notability of the information presented. Since Moslem Kazemi is a recognized handball player, adding citations from reputable sports publications, tournament records, and official handball league sources could help meet Wikipedia's standards.
If possible, please consider including more references to support his achievements and career details. This can help demonstrate notability and expedite the process for restoring the article to the main space.
Thank you for your assistance! Moslem Kazemi1 (talk) 08:48, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Cyril deGrasse Tyson
edit
Hello, FormalDude. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Cyril deGrasse Tyson".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

2025 Update from Women in Green
edit
Hello FormalDude:
2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!
For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!
This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.

Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
