Please help me with... Dear all, I have written my first Article [Draft: Pearl Dykstra] but after some initial feedback, there has been a month of silence. How can I ask for someone to look at the page and hopefully approve it? Many thanks for your help! Kind regards, Renske Dutchscholar (talk) 16:26, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pearl Dykstra (April 29)

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

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This subject is notable under WP:NPROF, simply searching her name via Google scholar reveals as much. I'm still going to decline this draft because of the following: the use of inline citations is too spotty. The first paragraph in "Biography", for example, has no source at all. This is an obvious violation of WP:V and WP:BLP. Then, there is too much detail in the research section and the sourcing is often imprecise. If these issues (particularly the first) are corrected, the submission might well be accepted.

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.
