Your submission at Articles for creation: John Lloyd (Scholar) (July 22)

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

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:John Lloyd (Scholar) 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:John Lloyd (Scholar), 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.

License tagging for File:HMS Salamander.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:HMS Salamander.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image is from a postcard published by B. & A. Feilden (Blundellsands, Liverpool). A company that no longer exists. I've cropped and resampled the image. Paul.pjt28 (talk) 07:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: HMS Salamander (J86) (August 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://oldhamthomases.uk/chapter-8-a-family-at-war/.

@Dr vulpes oldhamthomases.uk is my own website. I don't understand. Both the article and the website are written by me with no copyright material. 81.131.128.193 (talk) 07:09, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Paul.pjt28/@81.131.128.193, sorry these things happen. Check out this article about copying material into Wikipedia and the steps that you have to do. It's not a lot of work and is fairly straightforward. The problem here is that we don't know if it's your website and copyright laws are pretty strict. If you have other questions or need a hand feel free to ping me and I'll take a look or give you a hand. Your work is very well done and I look forward to seeing all the amazing contributions you'll make here! Dr vulpes (Talk) 07:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful if I remembered to add the link WP:MYTEXT. Dr vulpes (Talk) 07:17, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I've been away on holiday and just returned to deal with this issue. Clearly, you do not want to publish my submission. I would point out that my own website (oldhamthomases.uk) is NOT a primary resource for the article. All primary resources are cited in the proposed article. As far as the contents of my website are concerned, this website deals with my family history (none of which is included in the article). Clearly, there is some overlap with the discussion of my great uncle's wartime service on HMS Salamander, but such overlap is very small. Indeed, the overlap seems to be restricted to just the last two paragraphs of my article on HMS Salamander. I could rewrite these paragraphs, but I suspect it would be a waste of my time. In the past, I have made financial contributions to Wikipedia, but because of this experience I probably will never do so again. Paul.pjt28 (talk) 12:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
