User talk:AshDoveJay

Welcome

Hello, AshDoveJay, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ashley Dove-Jay (April 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent was:

"Dove-Jay has appeared on national television on many occassions, including CNN[5], BBC[6], ITV, Discovery Channel[7], and has given numerous radio interviews, including BBC News[8], BBC World Service[9], BBC Breakfast[10], Heart Radio[11]. He is a popular science writer and newspaper space columnist[12], with his work published in many major publications around the world, including CNN[13], The Telegraph[14], The Hindu[15], Daily Mail[16], IFLS[17], Business Insider[18], The Conversation[19], BBC Sky at Night[20] and Physics World[21]." is something we don not care about at all. What have people said about the man? Build your autobiography(!) on that. If you are notable then you need to show it. Your work cannot be a reference for you

Let me try to explain. If s/he manufactured vacuum cleaners, the cleaners would be her/his work. A vacuum cleaner could not be a reference for her/him, simply because it is the product he makes. So it is with work. However, a review of her/his work by others tends to be a review of her/him and her/his methods, so is a reference

For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS

You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
