I started to create a page on Martha Stone-Wiske but when I log back in I cant seem to find the page to continue working on the article.Junia Marcellus Marin (talk) 02:35, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

My 'Henry van ZIle Hyde' article was rejected because of some unverifiable sources. I do realize that three of my twenty citations were personal letters. I will deal with that. However, I was wondering if the 'Oral History Interview with Henry van Zile Hyde' is considered a reliable source. The interview is located of the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, so it is accessible to the public. However, the interview isn't secondary source material. Please let me know if this source is appropriate for wikipedia.

Thanks, Adam

All of your references were invisible to the reviewer because you had put them inside an unclosed "comment" markup. I have fixed this. You may wish to resubmit the draft.
The use of primary sources is not prohibited. Nor is the unusual (for Wikipedia) referencing format that you have used. However, it may cause confusion for some reviewers; if there are any problems with this then please let us know.
Some of the more common approaches to referencing on Wikipedia are described at Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:57, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, How do I know if my contribution has been reviewed, accepted or declined ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoan vidoni (talkcontribs) 20:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A message will automatically be sent to your Talk page when a review has been done. While you wait for the review you could improve the article by writing what the various published articles you mention under the "Products" heading have actually said about the company and its products. Just mentioning that a magazine article about the subject exists is not as useful as actually summarizing what the magazine article actually said about it.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to properly submit this article. Thank you
