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. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), 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, -- TNT (talk • she/her) 21:54, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Beaver State Fling (February 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 TheTechnician27 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:

I looked for news articles and books that mentioned the Fling, but the best I could find was a very brief mention in the book "Emerging Sports as Social Movements" (2021) – and even that brief mention wasn't about the Fling itself as much as it was Brathwaite's shot. The Golf Digest source is reliable and independent but discusses the course and tournament itself in no substantial detail (once again, it's about Brathwaite). Same with the USA Today source. The Disc Mania source is from the blog of a disc golf equipment store, bringing its reliability into question. However, as the author is apparently this Rick Saffeels, I think it's usable to contribute somewhat toward notability. ATDG doesn't have any indication of editorial oversight per WP:RS. The PDGA and Beaver State Fling sources are reliable but not independent. The article from The Oregonion is, I think, exactly what a good source for this should look like, and I think a couple more high-quality sources just like it would result in this draft being 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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Beaver State Fling 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:Beaver State Fling, 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Hebrewhurricane. Thank you for your work on Portland open. North8000, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Good start. From the text it looks non-wp:notable but there's more info in the sources.....suggest adding it to the article. Happy editing!

Hi @North8000:,

I appreciate the feedback. I am pretty new at this, I guess I struggle a bit to know how much and what to add to something like this. I could pontificate about various Portland Opens but I think the goal is to try to keep it succinct and high level. I guess I am wondering if you have any guidance for me that might be helpful.

Thanks! Hebrewhurricane (talk) 01:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If it was just a few "it happened" facts and then the results, it shouldn't be an article in Wikipedia because Wiki isn't about sporting stats. But you have sources which cover it in more depth. The best advice I can give is to cover the other angles that you sources have chosen to cover in more depth. Happy editing! Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
