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 http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/2505. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:William Arthur Edward Karunaratne may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.

Tilak Ranaviraja moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tilak Ranaviraja, currently reads like a resume and needs significant changes in order to comply with Wikipedia's neutrality policies. Please work on making the article read less like a resume and resubmit through the Articles for creation process. Here's an example of a more appropriately written biography for reference, Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Additionally, it is required that you disclose any affiliation or connection that you may have with Ranaviraja, or if you have been paid to write this or any other article on Wikipedia. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article complies with neutrality policies and notability guidelines and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tilak Ranaviraja (November 17)

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

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 content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage (not a series of mentions in passing) in multiple independent secondary sources. Being an ambassador does not confer automatic notability.

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.
