Carl Levin

You appear to be quite a fan of Carl Levin. I would ask that you try to keep your editing at this page neutral. Noting Levin's achievements (with proper reliable sources) is fine, but lauding his achievements (for example: ...[Levin] built a legacy of fact-based, bipartisan investigations) is not.

Thanks, Festucalex. I now understand how the sourcing system works and will put the footnotes in the Wiki way. I was also thinking that I should rewrite the piece to emphasize the authorship -- which appears to be the more important element of Ira Shapiro's life for purposes of Wiki notability. Do you agree with that or do you think it is sufficient as written? Thank you for your advice. Ellicottsimple Ellicottsimple (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ira S. Shapiro (January 16)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ira S. Shapiro and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
