Barnstorming

The best place to question this sort of thing would be on the articles' talk page. The Reliable Sources page is a discussion on what constitutes a reliable source. Also, if you have well-cited information, then go for it - fix the article!CredoFromStart ^talk 18:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment also via reliable sources noticeboard: agreed. However, the general guidelines on weight and emphasis (see WP:WEIGHT) are that articles reflect viewpoints according to prominence; and as far as I can tell, "barnstorming" in the flying sense has become the predominant meaning rather than a "narrow interpretation". But it would be perfectly appropriate to add a historical/etymological intro to Barnstorming explaining the pre-aviation origin and other uses of the term.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Robert Beard (October 29)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has only one independent reference. This draft contains external links in the article body. They are not permitted.

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:Robert Beard and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

October 2016

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
