Your submission at Articles for creation: Cradle Song (1981 short film) (April 13)

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'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 films). 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 proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Sharron Miller. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It might exist in IMDb but it doesn't show how it is notable. Needs external news sources, film critical reception, major awards.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cradle Song (1981 short film) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Cradle Song. Thanks! Asparagusus (interaction) 15:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asparagusus, I re-submitted the Draft: Cradle Song, notating the changes I made, which delineates it from my original submission. I wasn't able to find that original one, which is why I submitted a new one. I'm sorry, and I won't make that mistake again. I hope my new additions now qualify this for publication. In the meantime, I'm pursuing more information to add. Thank you. Vistalane (talk) 20:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cradle Song (January 30)

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 appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Cradle Song (1981 short film), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion.

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 after they have been resolved.

Dear Robert,

I've made recent edits to this submission, but as yet have not had any response from anyone at Wikipedia, and I don't understand why. Can you please review the new addition, which, among other things, includes the fact that the film premiered on ON-TV in 1981. I really want to get this on Wikipedia and have been working very hard to do so. Please advise me. Thanks so much.

Why is my name in red?

Can you please explain why my name (Vistalane) is in red above in my reply to Robert, and also will undoubtedly show up in red at the end of this post?

I am able to make edits on the site, so I know that I have an account here, but in some places when my name shows up as red, it indicates that my account doesn't exist. Can you please explain?

Also, I have made new edits to my Cradle Song (1981 short film) draft, but as yet have received no response in regards to that. I really need your help.

A couple of years ago I had a different account and made hundreds and hundreds (!!) of additions to your site. But unfortunately, after a long break, I'm not able to remember the name I used for that account, and when I first created it I unwisely did not give you an email address. I'm very frustrated, so I ask that you please advise me as soon as possible. Right now I feel invisible here, a place where I have contributed greatly through the years (under the account name I can't remember).

Thanks. Vistalane (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
