Please don't remove the draft template from this page again. It's there because it is a draft page and so when the page is ready it can easily be submitted for review. However, I see this article has been rejected previously as an "article for creation", so maybe it will never be good enough but, you can improve it by adding reliable sources and these pages may also help you Notability and Identifying and using independent sources. I see that virtually the only edits made by both you and another editor's, Krisbarg, have been to this subject. Perhaps this is your 2nd account, which is prohibited and/or maybe you also have a conflict of interest. Either could get you blocked so please be careful in future. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 13:15, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Thanks for the advice. I run a fan page on Dylan Walshe. The former upload is a girl from the fan page community also. I took over on the wiki entry, as I had a lot more information on the artist than what was previously there. I had discussed it with the owner of the other account. I will continue to upload any new information I find. But it has quite a lot of substantial information now compared to the previous upload. Including recent accolades regarding Dylan's latest record & touring press. Thanks again. We hope he gets the rightful recognition by wiki. Thanks! Jessarchivetn (talk) 11:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Editing articles.
[edit]Editing on Wikipedia can be confusing. There is some strange behavior.
- First, new-lines (carriage returns) do not create new paragraphs. One way to separate paragraphs is a blank line, there are many others. A single line-feed is converted to a space and concatenates the following text. Version comparison labels the text between new-lines as "Lines", resulting in some VERY long lines. It can be difficult for another editor to tell if a new paragraph was intended or if the sentences should be concatenated to the previous paragraph. I removed a line-feed between two <ref>'s, The bracketed numbers were separated by a space which is not "correct" per Wikipedia style standards.
- Second, sources for references should have enough info to lookup the info from a printed copy. A lot of editors rely on links and comments to provide info, not good. Bare URLs are discouraged because of "link rot", simply stated pages disappear. Sometimes the publisher moves them, or the item is available from another source. The Cite templates are intended to record the information and standardize formatting. They also populate a behind-the-scene database.
- There are a LOT more.
I have been working on cites. A little boring but I sometimes find an interesting article. Most editors would not bother with a Draft article, they can be frustrating. I feel a person contributing would appreciate some help with editing details.
Example: "Slavestate Magazine - Sveriges tyngsta tidning". www.slavestate.se. is a poor cite. No title, no author, no date. I attempted to update but got caught in an editing conflict.
Personally, I feel leaving a bare URL is lazy. This is a fundamental no-no. I leave them in Draft articles, hoping they will be updated by the contributor before the article is submitted.
Enough for now. Hope this help. --User-duck (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
