June 2020

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Eric R. Williams, from its old location at User:Tom Creen/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 15:05, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eric R. Williams (June 19)

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

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please make sure you add a reference list, follow WP:REFB. Also please replace the information table with an {{infobox person}}. Not a lot of reliable secondary sources, remember that PR fluff pieces (such as those form prnewswire) and self written items cannot be used (such as cite number 27)

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:Eric R. Williams and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Eric R. Williams, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Horror films

Hey. thanks for your edit to the horror film article. would you be able to add a page number to your source? Thanks. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:05, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if you're adding links, then page (or at least chapter) details are de rigueur. Also, citations should follow the citation style used in the article. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

roger that. was my citation style incorrect? Tom Creen (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't bad per se, but to expand it, usually when you cite a book it's handy to add a page number to make it a lot more verifiable. I can clean up any citation after the page number is added. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the feedback. i added the page number to the citation (on this page and others). please let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to clean up. i'm relatively new at this and want to make sure i'm doing a good job. happy new year!
