Lloyd Godman[edit]

Hi there, thanks for your contributions. I've moved the latest article to Draft:Lloyd Godman. A biography of a living person must have much better referencing before it is acceptable in article space; whole paragraphs are unreferenced. Please add the sources that you have used to write the article. Schwede 66 07:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Schwede66, I have now doubled the amount of sources for the article, and tried to distribute them evenly throughout the peice. Cheers, matt.

Your draft article, Draft:Lloyd Godman[edit]

Hello, MattBla. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lloyd Godman".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 09:41, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Green wall, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mr.weedle (talk) 05:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Green wall. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Mr.weedle (talk) 05:19, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr Weedle, I have since included a cited resource, which is just as relevant, if not more so, than the ones that have already been published within this article. There is going to be broader media coverage about these screens and their innovations by The Age at a date in the future, and once those have been published I can include them as well.

Thanks,

Matt. MattBla (talk) 05:25, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lloyd Godman (May 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Marshelec were:

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.

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:

This article is promising, but there is a considerable way to go before it could be accepted, because it is not sufficiently supported with citations. There are high standards of verifiability required for biographical articles about living people. See WP:BLP. Facts about the subject must be backed up by inline citations of independent and reliable sources. There are multiple facts stated in this draft at present that are not supported by an inline citation. For example, his date of birth, academic qualifications and the statement about the number of exhibitions must be supported by inline citations.

Wikipedia policies for biographical articles require multiple citations of independent, reliable sources that including significant mention of the subject of the article (ie not just reviews of their works, and not just passing mentions).

The article also requires Wikilinks, to make connections with other relevant articles.

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:Lloyd Godman 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Marshelec (talk) 07:53, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marshelec, thanks for taking the time to review the proposed article. I have now doubled the amount of inline citations of independent sources, and tripled the amount of internal Wikilinks, as well as created separate sections for art practice, education, residencies etc., which seems to be a format used on other published Wikipedia articles on artists.

All the best,
