Your submission at Articles for creation
[edit]I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Henry Albert Seymour. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

Suggestions
[edit]I would NOT recommend any editor-created literature. *independent reliable source* means independent of the subject, and independent of Wikipedia and its editors! Citing sources you used to *create* your pamphlet would be fine. --Lexein (talk) 00:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is, until my research there has been so little written on seymour that a lot of the information has been researched by me. Sadly I have not had a book deal yet! --danielhuckfield
- I sympathize with your situation. It is covered in the strong guideline called WP:OR - Original research. It's a good read, and hopefully explains why your article may not be releaseable even if you get a book deal. I'm of the firm belief that Seymour was probably written about and reviewed in indices and other lit or polit journals - you will ultimately find those sources!
- Your situation is not dire. If Seymour's notability can't yet be established with independent sources to justify a standalone article, he can certainly be included in a list. Find a list about other authors in or near his genre, and add him (and your sources so far) to that list. WP:N specifically does not apply to contents of lists, only to subjects of whole articles. For example: list of 19th century magazine publishers? You'll have to do the searching. --Lexein (talk) 00:09, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't sure whether to call the article Henry Seymour (secularist) or Henry Seymour (anarchist). In any case, I've listed him on the Henry Seymour disambiguation page. Hope the name is satisfactory. Sionk (talk) 17:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Page #s
[edit]If you have access to Seymour's Sound book (since you got the photo from it), who was the publisher? never mind, found it. And can you add a page # to the James ref? --Lexein (talk) 07:20, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]Google Scholar lists 4 books as citing Seymour's Sound book. This lends credence to his authority on the subject. This is one of them:
- Allen Koenigsberg (1969). Edison cylinder records, 1889-1912: with an illustrated history of the phonograph. Stellar Productions, 1969
This related book oddly this seems not to list Seymour. Weird.
- H. Frank Andrews (January 1, 1986). The Edison phonograph: the British connection]. City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society.

DYK for Henry Seymour (secularist)
[edit]On 14 February 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Henry Seymour (secularist), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Henry Seymour was a secularist and anarchist who introduced the Edison Disc record to England in 1913? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Henry Seymour (secularist).You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
