Welcome, Paul7384![edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, Paul7384! I'm Ozzie10aaaa, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia!--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 13:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Oz. I'm trying to build a page for a local notable person. I'll be working on this for the next week or so. Can I give you access to the draft? It will be great to get your input. Thanks for being my mentor!!!! Paul7384 (talk) 15:08, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Victoria Wyeth (April 14)[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 KylieTastic 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:Victoria Wyeth 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.

Hi Kylie,

I'm going to try to correct my submission. Thank you for your review. I believe that Victoria is an important part of the Wyeth family and her status as an ambassador is what I'm trying to reflect.

Hello, Paul7384! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 09:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Kylie,

I appreciate all of your support. I've written the draft without providing enough examples of how Ms. Wyeth is working as a lecturer. I'll try to correct what I've done. I'll also try the Teahouse.

Thank you,

April 2024[edit]

Hello, I'm Equine-man. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add non-notable people to notable people lists. Equine-man (talk) 16:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you April, I'm not sure if you are referring specifically to my Victoria Wyeth submission. Or one of my previous edits. Yes apparently I have a lot to learn. Paul7384 (talk) 19:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added someone who is non-notable to a notable list. Is there somewhere more appropriate for my submission? Another list maybe? If I've added my entries to an incorrect place, please let me know. Paul7384 (talk) 19:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surname lists Mikesell are limited to people for whom there are existing Enghlish Wikipedia articles. And for those, no references are needed, because the existing articles are referenced. David notMD (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria Wyeth[edit]

If you intend to abandon this draft, then put Db-author at the top of the draft inside double curly brackets {{ }}. This will result in an Administrator deleting the draft. Otherwise, if there is no activity at the draft for six months, it is deleted. David notMD (talk) 12:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David. I really liked the editing that you did. I'm trying one last time. Victoria is noteworthy not only because of her association, but because she works so hard to keep art at the forefront of people's minds. Thank you for your work. Paul7384 (talk) 13:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul7384, what is your connection to Victoria? I would recommend you read this page and associated pages with an open mind. Please click on this link: WP:GNG. Edit to add this link as well, which is about people: WP:BIO Equine-man (talk) 17:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen one presentation live from Victoria and listened to one zoom call. I reached out to Victoria to express my gratitude for her work. I've never spoken with her directly. I'm part of the audience. I'm not trying to break any rules, I truly respect what Wikipedia is and I don't want to compromise that. I will read the article that you suggest. Thank you, Paul Paul7384 (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Paul7384/sandbox[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Paul7384/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
