The user page guidelines have additional information on what is and what is not considered acceptable content. Please use your user sandbox or the draft article space to practice editing or to create new articles. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 13:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Turton (January 23)

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

Try to ensure that more of the sources are about rather than by the subject. This draft also overlaps quite a bit with the CQU staff profile, see here: https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Draft:Steve_Turton&url= The honours may make this person sufficiently notable for an article but it requires more independent sources, and please address text overlaps with the staff profile. Zeromonk (talk) 14:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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:Steve Turton 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.

Thank you very much for this comprehensive and helpful commentary. I shall see if I can find additional appropriate material for this entry and shall employ this advice on another I am working on. Taiaha80 (talk) 03:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I regret I was unable to find additional materials to satisfy the and so shall not resubmit this entry. Taiaha80 (talk) 03:04, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update Taiaha80 and well done for looking.

If I discover someone interesting for whom there are not quite yet enough sources for an encyclopaedia entry on Wikipedia, I like to add the information to Wikidata - here is Steve Turton's entry - you can edit Wikidata using the same login that you use to edit Wikipedia. Information on Wikidata is easily discoverable in multiple languages and structured form, and people who are not yet encylopaedia-notable can be very useful and interesting entries in this linked open data.

I hope that you'll continue editing - let me know if I can help you in future - I'm very happy to chat about possible articles and we can think through together whether they'll meet notability criteria, if that's useful. Zeromonk (talk) 10:04, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks for this. I do appreciate that some of the work I did on the entry for Steve Turton will have some use in Wikidata. I shall keep editing though the opportunities I have to engage are pretty sporadic! Thanks for your kind offer of support too. Taiaha80 (talk) 02:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

April 2025

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Royal Geographical Society of South Australia, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:10, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Iain Hay (April 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WormEater13 was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The subject here is notable (passes WP:PROF. However, the article, as PK650 commented, currently reads like a resume/advertisement. If the article is significantly rewritten to be from WP:NPOV, it could very well stand.

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:Iain Hay 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.
