Your submission at Articles for creation: Barry Ley (April 21)

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

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 06:20, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Radha Stirling. Thank you. Sungodtemple a tcg fan!!1 !11 !! (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sungodtemple a tcg fan!!1!11!! (talk). I did assume good faith. However please can you do so? The notice at the top of the article asked for citations and headings. Btoh were provided, then you undid that work in what appears to be bad faith. Also there is an issue with some joker deleting "fair use" licensed images from Wiki Commons. Can we focus on stopping that behaviour? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CatJon1 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That 'joker' was me. Looking at the policy commons:Fair use, we see that fair use files are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. They must be uploaded to Wikipedia locally, and be marked as Fair Use, per the EW fair use policy. This is why I marked the images for speedy deletion.

For the edits, you did partially solve the problems, but there was a lot of cruft, or unnecessary detail. It's similar to adding all sorts of population, land area, etc. stats to the United States article so that they take up the entire page. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, no one cares about excessively detailed population stats! The appropriate policy is Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The edits you made did add citations, but also added too much detail. Another thing is the external links. Way too many there. See Wikipedia:LINKSTOAVOID. And, of course, make sure to keep a neutral point of view, which you did not with statements like "British property tycoon hailed as one of Dubai's most successful entrepreneurs".

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but the edits you made were not really reliably sourced, and they added other problems as well.

And also, tips for the talk page: Please sign your comments like this: ~~~~, and use colons like this : to make indents, for better readability. I've done this to your previous comment. Thanks for listening to this rant of mine.

Please do not remove or change reliably sourced and cited content

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Firestar464 (talk) 06:51, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Radha Stirling. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Melcous (talk) 12:56, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other editors agree. Tradeze for example. Please stop Melcous et al from their edit warring— Preceding unsigned comment added by CatJon1 (talk • contribs) 13:01, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
