Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Otodus poseidoni, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Discovery. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Otodus debrayi did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Otodus hastalis

Hello my friend. You do not appear familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In particular, Wikipedia requires citations to reliable and authoritative third-party sources. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 12:06, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry I didn't put more references, the reason, is because the shark species of these genera are not mentioned clearly and rarely post articles about. If you have any articles that you can use as references, click HERE, HERE, Otodus minor. Paleotheus (talk) 12:13, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can not find adequate references, then you should not write about the subject. Also, please see my warning above about your lack of edit summaries. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll be more careful then next time. A question: I have already tried to put the URL of the article, but I could not infer the URL, since in some articles I used as a reference, it did not cite it. I tried to look for some informative articles to help me, but apparently it didn't work, and probably these authors of the article (Reference), didn't want to write a URL for the article, or there was no way.

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Lamniformes. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 17:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cetorhinus huddlestoni

Hi! Thanks for creating the article Cetorhinus huddlestoni. Unfortunately, the grammar is pretty poor, and the citations display error messages. I would suggest you to copyedit your articles when writing them, in order to achieve a more readable prose. Good luck! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop repeatedly creating articles without checking for grammar mistakes first. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:08, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with sources

A lot of the sources you are using in Draft:E.D. Cope (dinosaur) fail Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Reliable sources policy. Wikipedia articles are only supposed to be written using sources that are non-self published like newspaper articles and scholarly works ideally by experts for a scientific topic like this. You've cited sources like YouTube, DeviantArt, Facebook, Reddit that appear to be written by people with no particular expertise in the topic and are not reliable according to WP:SOCIALMEDIA and WP:RSPYOUTUBE.

Do not immediately resubmit after draftication. The refs are broken (I would've fixed them, but I don't have access to the original sources) Also poorly written with a uncertain tone.

Speedy deletion of Category:Cladoselachida

The page Category:Cladoselachida has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category had been empty for seven days or more and was not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may have become empty on occasion.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.
