Your story mentions that the material was copied "with permission," but that permission has to be sent to Wikipedia. The complete procedure is detailed here. It might be easier to simply rewrite the information in your own words instead (it is for me).

Use of DEFAULTSORT[edit]

Hi. I see you've recently added or amended several categories to articles on EA composers. You may not be aware of the magic word {{DEFAULTSORT:sort key}} which changes the sort order of all following categories in that article to "sort key" – see Wikipedia:Categorization#Sort_key_shortcuts.

So, for example, when there's already a {{DEFAULTSORT:Bayle, François}} definition in an article, it's unnecessary to add the name to the category as [[Category:Electroacoustic music composers|Bayle, François]].

It's also useful to add DEFAULTSORT when you're adding several new categories to an article – it saves typing!

Hope this helps. Smalljim 14:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC) _{(If you want to reply, please do so here - I'll be watching.)}[reply]

Thanks for the tip (there are so many options in wiki!); we will "update" our brain! Electrocdwiki 23:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pierre Alexandre Tremblay[edit]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? -- Eastmain (talk) 04:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elizabeth Anderson (June 25)[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 Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

Multiple independent reliable sources are needed to establish notability.

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:Elizabeth Anderson and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Are you being paid by Elizabeth Anderson? If so, you must make the paid editing disclosure. In any case, you should make the conflict of interest disclosure. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elizabeth Anderson (July 7)[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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

This would still need any additional amount of in-depth third-party news sources overall, but please no press releases or trivial passing mentions.
