Your submission at Articles for creation: Edward Scheer (May 2)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:

The references here don't give enough coverage to satisfy the general notability guideline. If possible, please link to the newspaper articles to make it easier for reviewers to assess.

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:Edward Scheer 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.

Hi, I was wondering about the range map shown at the Podophyllum peltatum page which appears to be your contribution. It seems to extend much farther south in Florida than what is shown in other sources. In particular, The USDA plant database shows it existing in only Jackson county while the citizen science website, iNaturalist, shows a southernmost sighting in Tallahasee. I'm curious as to where your shared information comes from?

Thanks in advance, Cosmicaug (talk) 03:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for messaging me! To make these range maps I typically use BONAP and the USDA for the U.S. However Florida is definitely wrong, as well as Texas. I will remove this from the page soon, but I am not sure why I added those areas to the map. I will make an updated version as soon as I have available time.

Thank you again, Historynerd2 (talk) 01:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
