Your submission at Articles for creation: Alan Revere (January 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Nearlyevil665 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.

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:Alan Revere 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:Alan Revere, 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, 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.

January 2022

Hello, ARodgersEditor. This is your user talk page; the purpose of this page is for notification and communication with other Wikipedia editors. It is not a workspace for articles in progress or self-promotion. Please use your user sandbox or the draft article space to practice editing or create new articles. Thank you.

Thank you, Drm310! I had heard the Sandbox got "cleaned" out regularly, and was afraid to lose my work. It sounds like that's not a concern anymore. I appreciate your help, thank you! I'm still brand new here and trying to feel my way around.

ARodgersEditor (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draft articles (such as your draft, Draft:Alan Revere), not deleted until there has been at least 6 months of inactivity. Even then, you would be notified prior to its deletion, so that you could save it. The general access sandbox (Wikipedia:Sandbox) is cleared regularly.

However, you also have a user sandbox in your userspace, User:ARodgersEditor/sandbox, where you can do practice edits or create drafts. It is a type of user subpage, which you can create yourself. User subpages are not routinely patrolled and can exist indefinitely. Typically a user's sandbox is edited only by them; although it is open for anyone to edit, it's considered discourteous to edit another user's sandbox without their permission. However, both drafts and user subpages are not exempt from Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If others notice inappropriate content (e.g. promotional messages; copyrighted text or images without proof of release; or content meant to disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity), they are subject to deletion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:53, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Drm310, thank you again! I truly appreciate you taking the time to help me understand how these things work. I'd scoured Wiki pages and Googled for other people's experiences in creating pages, but I surely missed a lot of details; it's a lot to take in. I appreciate you sharing this with me so I can access the info more easily. ARodgersEditor (talk) 22:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Alan Revere (February 19)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by S0091 were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Please see WP:PROMO. This is written entirely in a promotional manner with nearly no independent reliable sources and no indication of notability. There is nothing to salvage in this draft.

Welcome!

Hello, ARodgersEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

How to cite sources

Hi, I noticed Draft:Alan Revere and you seem to be unaware of how to add references properly, so I wanted to recommend Easier referencing for beginners to you. The tips on that page should help you add references to your draft article. Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 18:27, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Schazjmd: Thanks for linking to Nick's guide rather than the other one. I find his so much better. ARodgers, this is same guide I linked to in my response on my talk page. S0091 (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Schazjmd, Thank you so much for your help! I'll reconfigure the references to meet Wiki style. I really appreciate your suggestion. ARodgersEditor (talk) 18:37, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
