Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for contributing your article. However, I noticed that there is a serious issue with your article. It lacks references to reliable sources (like newspapers, books, and magazines, not blogs or social networks) and may be deleted, as articles without references do not meet our criteria for inclusion. Facts in an article should be backed up by a reference, as this helps keep Wikipedia verifiable. To fix this issue, simply add reliable sources using inline citations (see this guide for information). Click here to learn about what a reliable source is.

User:Tkotc/Robert Fuller Murray

This article is about a minor Victorian Scottish poet whose works are available on Project Gutenberg. Wikipedia has a "missing articles" project to provide articles for such authors where a page does not currently exist. I welcome any comments.

To meet Notability requirements, you should find "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". You have listed some external sources, which may or may not qualify, but they do not "count" unless they are properly formed as references. See Referencing for beginners. An author of books is not automatically notable; you need to show evidence that the books or the ideas in the books have received significant coverage.--SPhilbrickT 18:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

This is the first article I have created for Wikipedia. Please let me know what it lacks in order to meet the basic requirements for publication.

Top_of_the_Ox

New article - needs review from someone other than the original creator.

Sjpanther (talk) 14:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Your article says that Top of the Ox "is a national unsigned music competition"; and then your Hastings Observer link refers to the competition as "music website Top Of The Ox’s hunt for a new star". So is this an article about a competition or about a website -- or about Ian Edwards? If it's about a competition, then is the only reference you have to establish notability a link to the sponsor's or competition's website? The Hastings Observer article is not so much about the competition as it is about Mr Edwards. Indeed I recall you working on an article about Mr Edwards and you use this very article as a reference there. Your article really gives a reader almost no information about its purported subject, the competition. No history of the competition, past winners, other contestants, etc. Things I would expect to see. In my opinion you should give some information of that nature, referenced from reliable sources unrelated to the subject of the article (i.e. its sponsor). Otherwise it comes across as being simply a publicity page for the web site, the competition, or the singer. Tkotc (talk) 20:34, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

User:Pczoll/rodolphehottinger

Hello, I've drafted this article and would appreciate a review before publication. Rodolphe Hottinger represents the seventh generation of the Hotting(u)er family, most of whom have an article already in wikipedia. The Hottinger Chronology is also present. I don't believe, therefore, that there are issues of notability, but would still appreciate any constructive feedback to avoid dismissal. Many thanks! Pczoll (talk) 15:56, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

The draft has no inline citations and categories. The article is not focused enough. I mean it will be an article about Rodolphe Hottinger, and not the Hottinger Dynasty. Thus the "Family History" section shouldn't placed in the article. (I think you should make a seperate article from this section, titled Hottinger dynasty.)

This is an article about a person, and I would like to have it reviewed.

Lenarussopartners (talk) 17:23, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

To meet Notability requirements, you should find "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

• Your first reference is a blog. Blogs rarely qualify as reliable sources. There are some exceptions, but this isn't one.
• Your second reference isn't about Cary but an article by Cary. It may belong in the article, but it doesn't contribute to notability.
• The third reference is better, but it is a minor notice. The article isn't about Cary, there is simply a minor mention.
• The fourth and fifth references do not have an online link, so I can't tell for sure how they stack up, but the WP item sounds like a minor mention.
• The sixth item doesn't appear to mention Cary. Again, it may be useful for the article, but you haven't demonstrated significant independent coverage of Cary Sennett --SPhilbrickT 17:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Jeanne_DiFrancesco

How do I put Jeanne's picture on there and I am also struggling to seperate it into categories. For Example, education, occupation, and publications. I do not know what that means. Is there a quick way to create the wikipedia article on her. She is a very notable person. Do I just need to put multiple references on there instead of using only the one website.

Mes5285 (talk) 18:57, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it has already been deleted. Next time, consider starting a userspace draft. Ask me if you don't know what that means.--SPhilbrickT 17:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

User:Citris/Morton_marcus

There's already a Morton Marcus on Wikipedia, but he's and economist, and this Morton Marcus is a poet. How can I change the name in some way to denote this?

Citris (talk) 19:43, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

First of all, see Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Things like naming your article "Morton Marcus (Poet)" and creating or editing a "disambiguation page" should help. Tkotc (talk) 23:20, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

If there are only two, use a parenthetical qualifier (such as (poet) and a hatnote. A disambiguation page applies if there are three or more.--SPhilbrickT 17:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Morton_Marcus_(poet)

Please review for publication

Citris (talk) 19:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

These are just some minor comments because I think you have a good start. (1) After the first use of "Morton Marcus" just refer to your subject by his surname in the balance of the article unless that would result in some awkwardness. (2) Consider an infobox; they're good for a quick summary and also a reminder of details you may wish to try to capture with further research. See, Template:Infobox person. (3) Typically the list of an author's works is listed under a subhead "== Works ==". You can see some examples of that under other authors' pages. You could consider doing it that way. Also see, MOS:APPENDIX. (4) For his works, you clearly wanted to and did provide further information for your readers. Rather than simply an external reference to Amazon, however, take a look at WP:MOS-BIBLIO for some examples of how to do this. In particular, the examples under "ISBNs" are good.

Also, please wikify the article:

• Add wikilinks. Where appropriate, make links to other articles by putting "[[" and "]]" on either side of relevant words (see WP:LINK for more information). Please do not link terms that most readers are familiar with, including common occupations (e.g. "actor/actress", "writer" and "politician"), well-known geographical terms (e.g. "United States", "Britain", "China", "Australia", "New York City" and "Los Angeles"), and everyday items (e.g. "milk", "glass", "house" and "road").
• Format the lead. Create or improve the lead paragraph.
• Arrange section headers. Arrange section headers as described at Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
• Replace html tags with wiki markup, where appropriate. The use of many html tags is discouraged where wiki markup equivalents are available: for example, replace <b>bold text</b> with '''bold text'''. However, this does not apply for all html tags: e.g., H<sub>2</sub>O. See Help:Wikitext examples for a useful list of common wikitext and non-deprecated html tags.
• Add an infobox if applicable. Add an infobox if it is appropriate for the article.

User:Ericndt/Bank_of_Commerce

My previous try at wikipedia was speedily deleted :D. Pointers and comments are most welcome. Thank you

Ericndt (talk) 01:23, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't know why a draft in your userspace was speedily deleted. Maybe you should leave a note on the talk page of the guy who deleted it. He said the article "appeared to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which is unlikely to be suitable for an article (or at best would need a fundamental rewrite)." Maybe it is his opinion that there is something fundamentally impossible about writing a satisfactory article on your topic. He did say, "Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this." You may find it useful to review Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) prior to preceding. Tkotc (talk) 07:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

User:Ericndt/Bank_of_Commerce links to your current try at the article. When I looked on your user talk page, it was confusing to see comments about the "test" page. It seems that this b_of_c page is your "fundamental rewrite" of the deleted page. Again, I think you will have to consult with the individual who deleted your last attempt to see if you have resolved the issues he raised. Tkotc (talk) 08:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
