Information icon Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Virgin Gorda, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The sources used for the edit about Drake and Hawkins are not reliable sources.

Hi Donald, thanks again for the earlier feedback on the Virgin Gorda article regarding the Drake and Hawkins reference. I’ve revised the content with more cautious wording, and added a citation to the Virgin Islands Culture & Heritage Policy & Strategy 2023, published by the Government of the Virgin Islands.

I’m still fairly new here, so I really appreciate your guidance. I hope the new version meets Wikipedia’s standards. Happy to make further changes if needed. Thanks again. FieldArchivist (talk) 00:59, 27 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I know how tempting it is to use such sites, and I did use some back when I started editing almost 20 years ago, but I have found that such sites all too often repeat garbled versions of facts or even "facts" invented for promotional purposes. The community has gotten stricter about sources over the years. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard can be helpful if you have questions about a potential source. Google Scholar can be helpful when looking for sources. As it works out, I spend more time searching for and studying reliable sources then I do adding content. Anyway, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, and I hope you find joy in doing so. Donald Albury 12:20, 27 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Great advice! I really appreciate the feedback and your time. I’m enjoying learning the ropes here and look forward to continuing to make thoughtful contributions to the Wikipedia community. FieldArchivist (talk) 17:31, 27 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi FieldArchivist. Thank you for your work on Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Reserve. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for using the AfC process to create this page; well-warranted and clear. As you will have noticed as part of the AfC, some of the references have been removed (not reliable), so some of the contents could not do with more reliable sourcing.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hello, FieldArchivist. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "IX Art Park".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:54, 4 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
