Edits to 9 Horses

Hello, thank you for creating 9 Horses! Your contributions to Wikipedia are welcome. I just wanted to let you know about some edits I made to it.

Mainly what I did was make your references more consistent with the format used in other articles. You should check out the tool I used, which gives users a nice convenient form to fill in and does all the formatting automatically. It's accessed by clicking where it says "Cite" in the blue bar at the top of the edit window when you're editing any page. Then, in the second blue bar that appears, click "Templates" and choose either "cite web" (good for most references, though you'll have to click the "Show/hide extra fields" button to enter publication dates); "cite news" (for newspaper articles); "cite book" (for books); or "cite journal" (for magazines including scholarly journals). There are some citation templates, such as Template:Cite press release, which despite being useful sometimes do not have a handy form version available, but for most purposes the four that appear in the drop-down should be sufficient.

I also marked several of the article's references as being to primary sources. On Wikipedia, as much as possible of the facts in an article should be cited to secondary sources — written (or recorded) by people unaffiliated with the subject of the Wikipedia article. I know it can seem as though a record label would be (for example) the most reliable source for an album's release date, but for Wikipedia purposes it's better to cite a music magazine's reporting of the release date.

Finally, I removed the category tags Category:Chamber jazz and Category:Jazz, because the article more properly goes in the subcategories Category:Chamber jazz musicians and Category:Jazz musicians which it had already been added to.

Thanks again for joining and contributing to Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either here, on my talk page, or at the Teahouse, a friendly help desk staffed by volunteers. Note that if you ask here, you should include [[User:GrammarFascist|GrammarFascist]] somewhere in your response, which will make Wikipedia software alert me that someone is talking to me. Happy editing! —GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 20:26, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:9 Horses Perfectest Herald.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:9 Horses Perfectest Herald.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 removed 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. Whpq (talk) 14:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tubular bells, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Civil War. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your draft article, User:Mistersierra/Jesse Lewis (guitarist)

Hello, Mistersierra. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jesse Lewis (guitarist)".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 07:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
