Your thread has been archived[edit]

Hi Brightwell64! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Is my page live and if not what do I do?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Francis Owen (Reverend) 1802-1854 (January 22)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Jr8825 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 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft is a good start. However, it leans too heavily on Owen's diary (a primary source) and lacks a variety of independent secondary sources. Because of this, it fails to adequately show why Owen's account is notable, and also why it's of limited value to modern historians because of his prejudice against Dingane – see Okoye, F. (1971) Dingane and the Voortrekkers. This means that it also falls short of WP:NPOV as it fails to include "significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." I've collected some of the secondary sources touching upon Owen and provided a list on the talk page. If you have issues accessing some of these sources (for example, if they're behind academic paywalls), let me know and I'll assist with adding them to the article. Once broader sourcing is added, with a focus on acknowledging the critical treatment of Owen and Woods' accounts by more recent sources, this will be ready for the article space.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Francis Owen (Reverend) 1802-1854 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Francis Owen (Reverend) 1802-1854, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

All the best, Jr8825 • Talk 19:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
