Re: Detroit Land Bank Authority

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello.

I have no issue with the speedy deletion, and completely understand the reason. My question is, where should I take all the sources I've accumulated that cover the topic? All I was trying to do was bring DLBA to the attention of the Wikipedia community, as I truly think it is an entity that is worthy as a standalone Wikipedia entry. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/05/18/how-detroit-is-beating-its-blight-215160

@Ngnhtc: Hi and thanks for your message! I know firsthand that having an article deleted is not a fun experience and it's really great to see you reaching out to try again. To recreate the article I would recommend going through Articles for Creation (AFC), where you can create a draft article and receive feedback from reviewers about how to improve it before it is moved into public view. If you use the Article Wizard it will ask you a few simple questions to get started, and offer help if there are any issues you may have noticed in your proposed article, before giving you the option to create it as a draft to begin the AFC process. For any questions you might have you can use the Live IRC Help Chat in the Article Wizard or post a message at the Wikipedia Teahouse which is staffed by experienced editors who specialize in answering new editors' questions. Hope this helps, and happy editing! RA0808 ^talk _contribs 19:57, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Generation Kill

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello there, I'm messaging you in regards to the article List of Generation Kill characters and its contents. When I redirected the article back in March, you thanked me, meaning you agree with the edit. Another editor has since reverted the redirect, but I have restored it. Then they copied and pasted the content from there into the main article, however I believe that was invalid as the current format is much simpler and conforms with the guidelines of WP:TV. There is currently a discussion on his talk page here; if you wish you weigh in, please do. Thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:12, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
