Moved your inquiry[edit]

Hello! I moved your inquiry about reliability of sources to the reliable sources noticeboard, which is a better place for such queries. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage[edit]

Hi Bappy, I'd like to suggest that you write something on your userpage, so that it doesn't show up red when editing or posting, and also because it looks friendlier and more knowledgeable with a message. I suggest that you put this on it. :) Softlavender (talk) 17:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tips and tricks :)[edit]

This is a template, and you can move it to your userpage if you prefer. The template and some other similar ones are listed here: WP:Tip of the day#Tip templates. (The tip today is kind of a bore.) I will post the Wikipedia Adventure for you below, which is a fun way to learn. -- Softlavender (talk) 18:34, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stuart Candy (December 29)[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 Kb.au was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Non-notable individual with minimal coverage in independent sources. See also WP:NOTRESUME.

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:Stuart Candy 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:Stuart Candy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Info from the Reliable Sources Noticeboard[edit]

Hi Bappyh, here is the advice that you got at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard, which might help some. It's been archived now, so here is the link to the old thread: [1]. -- Softlavender (talk) 17:29, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

I agree with the original decline, unfortunately. It needs more significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability: there's very little about him, specifically. For example, none of the sources in the article (inline or otherwise) back up the third paragraph, which covers much of his career. The fourth paragraph is much the same. I agree with the discussion on the noticeboard that it's a borderline case, and some more coverage - if it exists - could well get it over the line.

Dear ::@The Drover's Wife:, dear ::@Kb.au:, Thank you so much for your precious guidance. That first submission experience taught me a lot. But I'm kind of frustrated when I look at Jeff Watson's page (a personality that I mentioned in my submission), specifically on its references that are quite poor and contains one I used. What's your opinion about it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Watson_(designer)
