Joseph Adams Jr. moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Joseph Adams Jr., does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

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 Henry Cary Sr. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

advice

[edit]
As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article. Thereis probably more to be said, since he is an historical figure. But you must do a thorough job of sourcing. All WP articles must have references to references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable public sources. These need to be books or journals or other encyclopedias. You should never press publish for an article until you have added at least one such source. For the way of doing this, see WP:CITEBEGIN. 0Don;t worry about the formatting details at first, but have the first sources in the very first version of the article. You are getting the dates and names from somewhere. Say where. If it's a website without established notability , then look for biographies or biographies of close associates, or histories of the period, or academic articles, or good encyclopedia articles or reference books. Any librarian can help you get started. . And never use Wikipedia itself as source. Make an WP:LINK to the relevant W}P page instead. DGG ( talk ) 20:44, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article Joseph Adams Sr. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsure as to the notability of this person. Being a distant relation of a president does not automatically make you notable yourself. Will leave as WP:PROD and WP:CSD if no further info is added soon.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — IVORK Discuss 23:51, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Francis Godolphin (died about 1640), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Notability

[edit]

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. With regards to articles such as Joseph Adams Jr. (farmer) and Joseph Adams Sr., we need evidence of notability, i.e. significant coverage in reliable sources. Note that Wikipedia is not a genealogy directory, it is an encyclopedia. Distant family members of notable subjects do not automatically merit a stand-alone article. Please see also Notability (people). Genealogy databases and self-published websites may not be reliable sources (see Identifying reliable sources). All information on Wikipedia must be verifiable by reliable, published sources. When family members of presidents get passing mention in biographies, but they have not done anything notable in life beyond giving birth to a president's grandfather, it may be more appropriate to make a single article, such as Adams political family, with the non-independently notable family members redirected and discussed as appropriate there (compare to Family of Barack Obama). If Adams political family is too narrow, but there is significant coverage of the ancestry of John Adams, a new, broader article such as Family of John Adams might be warranted. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 19:20, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the best way to indicate notability on Wikipedia is to cite sources that discuss the subject in depth. Your "references" on Joseph Adams Sr. for instance, are merely reiterations of the title or the preceding statements. References should be books, articles, or other reliable sources that allow others to verify the information is true. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Citing sources for details. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:33, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion

[edit]

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked then on the talk page of your original account there are instructions on how to request an unblock. You may get away with avoiding your block by using sockpuppet accounts for a few days, but once you are spotted you can expect any accounts you have used to be deleted, and any edits you have made to be reverted. Articles you have edited may also be protected to prevent you from editing them, but this will cause inconvenience for legitimate editors as well as you , so please don't make it necessary for articles to be protected for a long period.
