dict or d | Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. Please try creating an article at Wiktionary instead. |

Unless stated otherwise, assume that most content on the internet is copyrighted and not suitable for Wikipedia. Please write in your own words, and in continuous prose. |

|
empty or blank | We're sorry, but we cannot accept blank submissions. Please consider submitting to Wikipedia:Requested articles instead. If in fact you did include text within the article, but it isn't showing, please make sure that any extra text above your entry is removed, as it may be causing it to hide and not be shown to the reviewer. |
advert or spam or adv | I'm sorry, but your article appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. If you still feel that this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, please rewrite your proposed article in the form of an encyclopedia entry. Encyclopedia entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of published, verifiable sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the item being discussed. |
neo | Neologisms are not considered notable unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong sourcing. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish notability. |
athlete or sport | Sorry, this person does not yet seem to meet our notability requirements for athletes and sports people. Please read WP:ATHLETE for more information. |
lang or notenglish | This is the English-language Wikipedia; we can only accept articles written in the English language. Please provide an English-language translation for your article, or visit the Wikipedia home page to find the version of Wikipedia for your desired language. |
joke | Thank you for your submission. It appears that your submission is either an attempt to be humorous over being factual, or is an obvious hoax. As Wikipedia strives to contain only factual entries, we can not accept your submission at this time. |
npov | Your article does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of published material. If you still feel that this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, please rewrite your proposed article in the form of an encyclopedia entry, and make sure to avoid certain terms meant to show off the subject. |
ilc | Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you. |
test | Your submission seems to be a test edit and not an article worthy of an encyclopedia. Please use the sandbox for any tests in the future. Thank you. |
news or oneevent | Your article appears to be a news report of a single event and may not be notable enough for an article in Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:NOT#NEWS and Wikipedia:ONEEVENT for more information. |
not | We're sorry, but the proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. |
blp | The text of this submission has been removed from Wikipedia because it is a biography of a living person which does not have, and has never had, any sources. Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced articles which are potentially defamatory. All articles about living persons must conform to our biographies of living persons policy. However, in order to permit the author to provide sources that may satisfy the policy, the text of the page is available in the history. |
film | This submission doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the guidelines on the notability of films. Please provide more information on why the film is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, and support it by citing published sources that are reliable and independent. |
redirect | This is not the correct place to request new redirects. Please follow the instructions on Articles for creation/Wizard-Redirects. Thank you. |
plot | The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot. You may, however, wish to add this content to an existing article, such as a list of episodes or novels in the series. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself. |
plot|Pagename | The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot. You may, however, wish to add this content to an existing article, such as '''Pagename'''. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself. Template:Anchor2 |
prof or academic | Sorry, it is not clear that this person meets the notability requirements for academics. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (academics) for more information. If you can clarify which of the criteria this person meets, please update the submission. Thank you. |
exists | Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. |
exists|Pagename | Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at '''Pagename''' instead. |
mergeto or merge | The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article on the same subject. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you. |
