Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Lightbluerain❄ (Talk💬 Contribs✏️) 16:55, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Marc Griffin (June 23)[edit]

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

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:Marc Griffin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The article seems to be more about the events surrounding how a 17-year-old got to be a judge, rather than the actual person. I wonder if the draft should be recast that way. An article with the title of a person is assumed to be a biographical article, and this isn't a biography at all, it's about a confluence of laws that centered around one person. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:31, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread has been archived[edit]

Hi Judgehistorian! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Is this event notable? How to confine submission review to the event not the person? How to title such an article?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days.

You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread.

See also the help page about the archival process. 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}} on top of the current page (your user talk page). Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Judgehistorian! Your additions to Draft:Leonore Driggs have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 20:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I was saving some notes from info I copied from the web. I thought I was saving to my Sandbox but I wasn't. I have wiped it all out and it has been removed. Judgehistorian (talk) 23:17, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The subject needs more than routine coverage. Announcements, directory listings, and local-interest stories don't count. ~Anachronist (talk) 13:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am very new to Wikipedia. This is only my second article submission. I want to submit more articles but I need to get a clear understanding before I proceed further. My article was not qualified for lack of significant coverage. I am trying to understand the difference between the accepted and published biography stubs for two other U.S. judges, James Gay Gordon and Patricia Golden, as just two examples with regard to significant coverage, and my submission for Leonore M. Driggs which was not accepted. Thank you for your guidance. Judgehistorian (talk) 14:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
