Your submission at Articles for creation: The Brogues (post-punk band) (September 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne 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 music-related topics). 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Brogues (post-punk band) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

Copyright violation

Hello Grbb! Your additions to Nick Baker (Kentucky politician) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. ⸺(Random)staplers 01:18, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink problems

You might want to review Help:Link, since I noticed you put in broken links on Nick Baker (Kentucky politician). In general, you should press the 'Show Preview' button to make sure the markup renders correctly. You can also use the sandbox to practice editing pages on Wikipedia.⸺(Random)staplers 18:28, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh by the way, if you're adding content, that isn't a minor edit.⸺(Random)staplers 18:57, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Minor would refer to orthographic or style changes, then? Grbb (talk) 19:23, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -- I see the links are gone now. Not sure what went wrong, but I'll use the preview function in future. This is one of my first jobs on this site. Grbb (talk) 19:22, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a conflict of interest? If so, you must delare it.⸺(Random)staplers 19:46, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

August 2024

Hello, I'm Mvcg66b3r. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, WBNA, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 23:00, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I added similar (but not the same) material which draws from the same citation as the text around it. Grbb (talk) 17:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No hard feelings. By the way, if you need help, just ask my good friend @Sammi Brie:. She's an expert in this field! Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I really appreciate it, and I think your edit made the entry much stronger. @Sammi Brie's list looks really impressive and in fact I am making a few more radio station page edits so I may call on her. Thanks again. Grbb (talk) 17:39, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to WXMA has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed.

@Grbb If you want help rewriting pages without the use of copyvio, I'd be able to help. I'd also like to show you how to not use bare URLs in citation, if you'd like. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. I struggled with re-writing those pages so any help is much appreciated. The weird footnotes are also a source of frustration -- I'd like to see how to tidy those up. Is there something I can read? I appreciate your feedback. Grbb (talk) 04:30, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
