User talk:Lpintak

Welcome!

Hello, Lpintak, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was User:Lpintak/sandbox, which appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Thank you. Please clarify: Will the page be published and then, if deemed not to meet the "notable person" criteria pulled down, will be it reviewed to determine whether it meets the standard, or will it simply not be published because I created it?

Thank you. Lpintak (talk) 22:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will move your sandbox article to the draft space, where you can submit it for review. However, if the reviewer feels that it does not meet the specific notability criteria for academics or the more general notability criteria for people, it will be declined. It may also be declined if the reviewer feels that it doesn't conform to Wikipedia's neutral point of view requirement. Declined drafts can continue to be worked on and re-submitted.

There is another matter to point out. Accounts named after a notable, identifiable or well-known individual are routinely blocked to prevent impersonation until proof of identity is provided. If you are the person that you are writing about, then do not be alarmed if this happens. The block notice will include instructions on how to provide verification of your identity, which will allow the account to be unblocked. However, if you are not the person you are writing about, then you should submit a request to change your username. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:53, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December 2024

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Lawrence Pintak, from its old location at User:Lpintak/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lawrence Pintak (March 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 SafariScribe were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 comment the reviewer left was:

Doesn't meet WP:NJOURNALIST.

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:Lawrence Pintak 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.
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.
