Your submission at Articles for creation: Biography mark L. Power (April 16)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 people). 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:

Biography is rather disorganized and should be sorted better by chronological order. It also needs a lead paragraph to show that his most important Wikipedia-notable achievements are. Need secondary sources independent of the subject.

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:Biography mark L. Power 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:Biography mark L. Power, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

I go to several libraries which I believe have access to older Washington Post content. If I am correct I can go back to the late 70s.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:10, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of photographers

Hello. You should probably have a read of WP:CATEGORIZATION to learn how categories work, I've moved the text at Category:Fine art photographers Washington Dc 1967-2000 to your sandbox (note that the contents of your first sandbox have been moved to Draft:Photography in Washington D.C.). It would be better as a WP:LIST rather than as a category header as you've done. Also, in general, avoid WP:OVERCATEGORIZATION and avoid being too precise with your category names, it would be better to eg categorise people as Category:Fine art photographers and Category:Photographers from Washington, D.C. rather than a single intersection category. Cheers Le Deluge (talk) 12:53, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion, I will attempt to change the category to a list. I am still fumbling my way through Wikipedia not being very handy with anything other than visual editing. Mark Power Mpower2 (talk) 16:15, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn't be too outlandish to think that this may be an autobiography. However, I cannot say with 100% certainty.
