Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by InterstellarGamer12321 was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The inline citations should be in the body of the article, not in the References section. As a result, a lot of text is unreferenced or backed up with WP:External links, which should not be in the body of the article. See WP:REFB, MOS:CITE and WP:ILC for more information on referencing.

Hello, Avggtmn! 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! InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 15:26, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

your message was useful and helpful. I just spent a whole day going through the article and adding/removing/editing the sources/references. I see many of Uri's colleagues from the Israeli Foreign Ministry have wiki articles, and I am trying to align with those, as well. I would be grateful if you could take another look.

I saw that you dropped by IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help. The technical problem of formatting the references looks like it is now solved.

You still need to take care that every statement has a footnote. I prefer to see footnotes at the end of sentences. When I see mid-sentence footnotes, I immediately think you are assembling a statement from multiple sources which no one source can support. See WP:SYNTHESIS for more about this problem.

You can use sources that are not online. They'll be harder for reviewers to verify, but as long as you provide enough bibliographical information that the source can be looked up by someone using a good library, it should not be a problem. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greenman (talk) 17:00, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greenman, I am trying to better understand the comments you made when rejecting my draft (Draft:Uri Shraga Gutman). I dont know how to reference an objective source for a date of birth of my subject (a living person) other than uploading their passport or birth-certificate (which are the sources that I have seen), without breaching privacy laws and regulations. If you have some idea for how I can do this otherwise, can you please suggest? Additionally, I have referenced all that I can from online sources. I do have some "hard-copy" references (newspaper articles, for example, from the 1990s and early 2000s) - but I have not found these online, and therefore could not provide a reference to them for the article. Can you suggest a solution for this? Many thanks for your comments, and in advance for your help. Avggtmn (talk) 09:10, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
