Thanks for creating Margaret M. Perry, ClareB!

Wikipedia editor Rosguill just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for creating a much-needed article about an important woman scientist! In the future, try to avoid directly quoting sources so much, as it can cause copyright problems for wikipedia.

AfC notification: Draft:Zita Stead has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Zita Stead. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 17:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Theroadislong:, many thanks for your comment, I have now removed the Find a Grave citations and included new citations from primary sources available on Ancestry, which I hope will count as reliable sources. ClareB (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Viva King (March 9)

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

Hello, ClareB! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

See you there! CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Clare

Hi, my name is Asareel. I am a member of the project Women in Red. Thank you for creating the article on Zita Stead. As a project that targets women and women related topics for development into articles we rely on editors like yourself to close the gender gap here on Wikipedia. It's not easy but we are determined to make a difference. I am thrilled this article was promoted to main space and I am fascinated by Zita's work as a medical illustrator. Congratulations and please continue to create and edit. If you ever need assistance or want to ask questions please do not hesitate to ask. We have amazing and knowledgeable editors, in WIR, who are ready to help if we can. --ARose Wolf 12:05, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ARoseWolf:

Hi Asareel and thanks very much for your kind message and words of encouragement - I'm pleased that Zita finally has a page! I have a list of women I would like to write articles about, so now I just need to find the time... Thanks again and I'll be sure to reach out for advice if need be. All the best, Clare ClareB (talk) 08:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Viva King

Hello, ClareB. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Viva King, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:02, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
