Your draft[edit]

I fixed the infobox problem for you. You had left the combination of dashes and greater than, less than signs, which hides the text from view. (This is used to leave notes for editors in the article itself, like asking that a list be kept in alphabetical order.) You also had curly brackets around words, which calls a template from the base page it lives on, for lack of a better word. If there is no template with that name, it creates a red error message. Normally an infobox page will have the data used to create the infobox itself, a copy showing how the full infobox will look, and a blank template to copy-paste, so you may have copied the wrong one by mistake. For a full explanation, see Template:Infobox person. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 21:38, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Blair A. Ruble Photo.jpeg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Blair A. Ruble Photo.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:26, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Blair Aldridge Ruble (May 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 Espresso Addict was:

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Apologies for the slow review. The subject seems likely to meet WP:PROF guidelines. However referencing needs further improvement, particularly to reference all the awards and the notable positions held. Reviews of the subject's most important books would also be helpful, and could be used to start a section detailing the subject's research.

The list of publications needs to be pruned to the most important (most cited), particularly all the co-edited volumes. The external links also need pruning or turning into references.

The long list of appearances appears promotional and should be pruned. Also the long list of articles in news outlets, which do not contribute to 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.
