  Hello, I'm Lomrjyo. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Windows 11, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. lomrjyo(talkcontrib) 02:35, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you didn't make a mistake, I will add the content back to the article with reliable sources. Biel8729 (talk) 02:40, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Novem Linguae I sent the draft for quick elimination by A7. Biel 00:43, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Biel8729. Hey there. I have removed the tag. A7 does not apply to draftspace. We are much more lenient about keeping articles that begin with the prefix "Draft:". None of the CSD's that begin with "A" can be used in draftspace, only the ones that begin with "G". Hope that helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:49, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Novem Linguae Ok, I got it. Biel 00:51, 28 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Printed sources

Hey Biel8729, it's great that you want to help out at English Wikipedia. Welcome. We're glad to have you here, too.

One thing: You've been adding templates to articles indicating that they have no sources when they do, in fact, have a number of those. Your main argument seems to be that the sources are missing links, but this is no requirement; English Wikipedia has no prejudice against printed sources such as books or magazine articles that are not available online. If you want to change this, you'd have to bring it up at e.g. Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources, but I would recommend against it, as you're very unlikely to be successful: we'd be incredibly limited if we could only use what's available online, unable to write about many subjects. /Julle (talk) 11:20, 30 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Julle: Ok, I understand perfectly. Biel 11:31, 30 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
