Your submission at Articles for creation: BRITTINI (March 20)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NCOMPANY, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:BRITTINI and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:BRITTINI, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Yesmowit Cemetery (October 7)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Yesmowit Cemetery and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Disambiguation link notification for June 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Research and Analysis Branch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Journal. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

June 2024

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as OSS Maritime Unit. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:22, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! BTW, how do you sign a talk message???? Guylaen (talk) 18:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can sign a talk page message by using ~~~~ (four tildes). In fact, most of the times, you don’t need that if you’re using the reply button, for example, the one you used (and will probably use) in this message. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:57, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Oldfield moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Frank Oldfield. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has issues which include but not limited to WP:REFBOMB. Please clean up at draftspace undisturbed. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! When I got to the 30th source, I started wondering if adding that many cites without more information was... too much. I googled "how many cites for a wikipedia page," and the only results that came up on the top page were suggestions for minimums. Guylaen (talk) 18:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only one (or at most, two) citations to reliable, independent sources (based on WP:R, WP:INDEPENDENT) are needed to back up any claim in an article. Not dozens for a single (or no) statement. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:54, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, good to know! It really sucks I can't use the source that everyone else uses though, because even though he's an archivist, and even though he worked with a journalist to write the book, he's still an Oldfield. I'm not sure how Wikipedians interpret this.

So I had to figure out all of the sources he used. Thankfully he had a bibliography in the back of the book - but I still dropped thirty or so of his sources. Guylaen (talk) 18:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don’t have to use his own sources, perhaps. You are the one writing this article, you’re responsible for finding sources to backup any claim you make, not Oldfield. Have you read WP:FIRSTARTICLE and maybe WP:How to write an article? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:03, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. I think I just rushed into it because I think the man is so damn important and the world immediately had to know about him. But I'll remember to breathe, and take it at library speed. He's important, but the article is more important. Guylaen (talk) 19:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, this graphic is the funniest thing I've seen in a while!

Metaphorical ref bombs being deployed on a Wikipedia article.

Guylaen (talk) 19:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed funny. It’s just a pictorial representation of what a refbomb is. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lawrence Finkelstein (September 17)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It seems highly unlikely to me that he doesn't meet notability guidelines, but I don't see sourcing here that shows a notability pass, either. Can you have another look at WP:NPROF and clarify which criteria he meets? Or find more WP:SIGCOV, so that he meets the standard guidelines at WP:NBIO.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
