About your draft

Hi Sloggatt, first I would recommend that you read Your first article. Second, I would recommend that you move User:Sloggatt/sandbox to Draft:Arthur H. Sloggatt & then follow the article submission process.

Hello, Sloggatt. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Peaceray (talk) 05:13, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Hastings Sloggatt moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Arthur Hastings Sloggatt. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, you may have a possible Conflict of Interest and one of the sources is written by the subject's son. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 11:15, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for your reply please take a look at a few of the uploads here

Because the The New York Daily ceased publication in the 1960's it has never been digitally archived - the archives do exist in the Library of congress where you can see Art's political cartoons. I have a copy of a newspaper here from May 6th, 1961 with a headline 'What A ride' about Alan B Shepard's historic space flight - Art's Cartoon appears on page 7 with Alan as subject matter - are historic newspapers considered sources even if they are not digitally archived?

Hi,I suggest that you spend some time reading through Wikipedia:Reliable sources. In particular, please see WP:PUBLISHED, which states: Published means, for Wikipedia's purposes, any source that was made available to the public in some form. The term is most commonly associated with text materials, either in traditional printed format or online & Additionally, an accessible copy of the media must exist. It is convenient, but by no means necessary, for the copy to be accessible via the Internet.

Thus it is unnecessary that a reference be online, just accessible in some way. Peaceray (talk) 17:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

so how do you cite sources that are only in print format? Sloggatt (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (May 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CF-501 Falcon was:

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:

Thank you for your submmision. For it to be accepted, please find more sources to establish his 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Sloggatt/sandbox 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.
