Piped links

Hello, HouseGecko. Just FYI, when you linked from Juno (mythology) to the articles on various Roman deities, you forgot to check the accuracy of all your wikilinks. You correctly linked to the goddess Ceres, but not to the rest. In most cases, the various planetary bodies named after Roman deities take precedence over the deities themselves. There's also no need to link the same term or name twice in a single infobox. Thanks for reading this. Haploidavey (talk) 16:34, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

User:Haploidavey Oh, sorry, I was in a hurry when I added the links. I will be more careful when I add links in the future. HouseGecko (talk) 16:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

OK, thanks :) Haploidavey (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Libertas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pileus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

GA nomination for Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia?

Hello, HouseGecko. I was thinking that Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia may be ready for a GA nomination. I wrote most of the stuff on Mecca and Judaism there, which I can vouch for, but I'm not very familiar with some other parts of the article. You've done great work on it and you seem to be well-versed in this topic. What do you think? Eperoton (talk) 02:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

@Eperoton: I think it might be ready for GA-nomination. I've went ahead and nominated it.HouseGecko (talk) 10:28, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

I-pop moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, I-pop, 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.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:I-pop. Thanks! AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 20:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
