earning a lot from it. I fast-track published the articles you started and marked the drafts for deletion. Corrvine Patterson, Harold Holliday Sr., and Phil Curls would thank you. @Kclibrarian: fyi! — Smuckola (talk) 13:34, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Felix Payne (January 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Eyebeller 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Felix Payne 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:Felix Payne, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Rev. Samuel W. Bacote (Minister)

A tag has been placed on Draft:Rev. Samuel W. Bacote (Minister) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://pendergastkc.org/article/biography/samuel-w-bacote. 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. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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.

Edit-a-thon January 11, 2021

Note to Wikipedians: Amoncure is a new Wikipedian who is drafting articles for other editors to edit for Wikipedia:Meetup/Kansas_City/2021_MLK_Day_of_Service. The subjects have been pre-selected and reliably sourced for notability by a public librarian. So we'll pursue the draft process.

Hey there Amoncure. Don't worry about all the notices. You can delete them from your Talk page; they serve as a reference for me, though they could be compiled down to just a list of wikilinks to them. Take heart and don't worry about the fact that various other editors observing the article creation process put them into Draft space. That's not a real deletion or anything like that. Those editors don't know that you might have a stack of WP:RSes on your desk or whatever, and global protocol must be followed until they are ready for publishing, that's all. Every article or Draft that's created does need to satisfy WP:N in theory. So that means the editor already has a set of well more than 3 substantial WP:RSes already discovered and ready and waiting, to be incorporated into it, to yield a large and fully formatted biography with all the infobox and sections and categories so it can reach past C class. So I assume that Kclibrarian has a compilation of those reliable sources. That's what should be known and prepared ahead of time. I published those three already because I fleshed them out to the point of proving fairly surely that they can go to C. And if that's the case, then we can make it happen in enough time even though not today. And I hope you can suggest which ones are the most clearly notable, and the easiest to expand, because I don't know anything about these subjects :) Keep calm and edit on! — Smuckola (talk) 01:27, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As the warning says above, we can't totally copy from another source under any circumstances even as a stub. That's just the law, and even if it's freely licensed as copyable then we need to carefully attribute it, but still we ideally need to rewrite it enough to be original or summarized. You started a whole ton of articles started for any group size so let's go for quality over quantity. Good stuff. We just don't wanna risk abandonment of Drafts if there isn't enough editor effort across the next year. Regarding the article names, they don't need the parentheses except for disambiguation of multiple existing Wikipedia articles already having the same name. — Smuckola (talk) 01:32, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Amoncure, I also recommend that you try to emulate the general Wikipedia writing style (i.e. infoboxes, wikilinks) Lettler^{hello • contribs} 01:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lettler: Hi! You've been filing a bunch of speedy deletion notifications and yet also adding basic contributions to some of the articles so I wanted to say that's a class act and I appreciate the gesture. :) I always appreciate a protocol adherent who's not deletionist. I'm trying to keep up with supporting the drafts. I'll give a huge compliment to Amoncure's formatting skills improving drastically by the day already! Content quality has been totally totally transformed in just the last couple of days. This is why we edit-a-thon. — Smuckola (talk) 02:26, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! You don't know how happy that makes me :) Lettler^{hello • contribs} 02:34, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Smuckola: I appreciate what you guys are doing but please, please, please make it a point to express the importance of Wikipedia's copyright policy. I found G. Lawrence Blankinship Sr. by chance and wanted to improve it but in doing so realized it was almost entirely copied from this source in it's initial stages. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:06, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also PS: if someone could give me the original source for the image in the above link of Blankinship, I would appreciate it as I'd like to upload it as a NFF. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article titling

Hey A, really appreciate your article creations. One note: please do NOT include a person's occupation in parentheses (e.g., (banker), (minister), etc.) UNLESS there is already an article on a different person who has the same name. If the name is unique to Wikipedia, the ttitle should only be the person's name. Also, do not include honorifics like "Dr." or "Rev." in the article title. Let me know if you have any questions about this, and thanks again. UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Felix Payne (January 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by EDG 543 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The only difference between the last time you submitted it and this time is the addition of a single reference—but the reference doesn't even include a link.

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:Felix Payne 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:Felix Payne, 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.

Minnie Lee Crosthwaite

The article is now live; you and User:Sierramfaust both worked on it. I am going to nominate it for a spot on the front page, in the Did You Know section, together with Minnie Lou Crosthwaite--yes, what are the odds. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:04, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Minnie Lee Crosthwaite

On 29 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Minnie Lou Crosthwaite, the first Black woman to pass the teacher exam in Nashville's segregated school system, and Minnie Lee Crosthwaite, one of Kansas City's first Black social workers, both attended Fisk University? You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Minnie Lee Crosthwaite), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
