Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 20:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Search For Order (August 17)

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

You have the right idea with the reviews, but they need to be independent to show notability. A quote from the publisher's website won't do. The review by Griffiths works - find some more like that.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Could you explain some of this rationale a little more?

In particular: Why won't a quote from the publisher's website do? Is there a better way to communicate how experts in the field responded to the book? I guess I don't see what the issue is. Would you rather I only say that specific historians felt good or enjoyed the book and then put a reference to the page where their quotes can be found? In a nutshell: is the issue that I used a direct quote or something else? The specific quotes I used I felt were indicative of the larger reception that the book has had in the academic world.

I also believe the photo of the book has been removed, will I need to take my own photo of the book that I own to upload it instead?

Thank you! Daddygotem (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Still hoping to receive a response and more information regarding this decision. thank you Daddygotem (talk) 14:18, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Are you able to provide more specific examples or information about exactly what is copyrighted that I used and what needs to be improved?

I am new to this and would love as much information as possible about how to better improve my editing skills for the future.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Search For Order (August 20)

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

Since the previous decline, the addition of only a single reference, the subject itself, does not further help establish notability.

Can you please provide more concrete feedback regarding my submission? It is incredibly frustrating to receive a single sentence with what feels like little to no effort in attempting to actually assist in how to meet the standards required for publishing.

I've yet to receive a response regarding the previous rejection, and I'm not entirely sure what exactly is lacking here. Is it simply that I don't have enough references? Or is it the quality of the references? Or is it something more? Do I need to find every single reference of the book in any published academic journal, or just one to meet the criteria? Is there an established, required criteria, or is it more dependent on each individual reviewer's expectations?

Can you please provide a more thorough reasoning behind your decision here so that I can actually improve my abilities and meet the necessary criteria more easily? Daddygotem (talk) 14:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
