AfC notification: Draft:Gretchen Peters has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Gretchen Peters. Thanks! JSFarman (talk) 06:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JSFarman, I went looking for more sources that quote things about her and it appears they are either news articles where she is quoted or foundations/think tanks where she is sourced. Are these ok?Big thoughts (talk) 13:25, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I added some references, and did a slight edit (copy and format). Her notability is established, it's just a matter of being able to verify the assertions of the article. You should be able to do that with targeted searches. You can use the sites for the organizations that she's affiliated with to verify her involvement if nothing else is available, but you should avoid using the bio information that's on those sites. Also, with the publications, you should write the name of the article and the publication, with the date, and then cite it as opposed to linking to the article directly.

It's almost there. It really is a great article. Thanks for writing it! I knew nothing about her - I'm glad I came across your submission. She has such a great story. (I'll keep my eye on the draft but ping me if you need anything.) JSFarman (talk) 02:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JSFarman! Thanks for the guidance. I might still have screwed it up massively. Most of the works are massive articles in bigger books or journals. I tried to do them using the cite tool but then it duplicated them into the reference section. Not sure if that is right. I also removed a few things that I could only really find on bios that were from Peters herself.
