Dean Whitestone moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Dean Whitestone, is not suitable 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 and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – Pbrks (t • c) 02:32, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

editHi MynameisShaun! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. – Pbrks (t • c) 02:34, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
MynameisShaun (talk) 03:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC) I will make sure that I will mark a non-minor edit as a Minor Edit [Thanks for Correcting me :)]
- Please read through Wikipedia's Manual of Style and guidelines before continuing editing, specifically MOS:UNIT, WP:OVERLINK and MOS:ERA. You will notice a lot of your edits have been reverted as a result of these, removing spaces where there should be spaces, adding links where links exist or they are common English words, and removing non-breaking spaces for no explained reason.

Your draft article, Draft:Dean Whitestone
