Help[Test] Re: Editors and there sources
in reply to a message by hey
I looked under your username in the submission database and you have only two names submitted. Calpus was submitted yesterday and is still in the submission database. Miramichi was submitted 2/4/2025 and it is still in the submission database but is listed under the place name website.
Do you mean you "searched" for the name or you "submitted" the name, because the two are different?

That's what I'm thinking. I think the name might’ve failed to submit just due to an error. Is this correct @aint_alessia? Did you submit the name but it failed, or did you *search* for the name instead?
Basically a while back, I anonymously submitted a name that had enough sources to prove that it was a real name by a basic Google search. But when I searched for it again, the name wasn't there and I checked my notifications to see an editor has removed it from the user-submitted names. So I was just confused as to why the name gotten deleted as there was enough references to prove it AND have usages/meanings of the name.
Unfortunately, without the name, because you submitted anonymously its difficult to know why it was deleted. Even with resources, names can be deleted if they are duplicates, already in the database, etc.
