Kelly Townsend

Hi Joan (if I may). Thanks for your edits to the Kelly Townsend article. I've started to go through the article and corrected a few formatting errors and other issues, and removed material that cites websites that aren't reliable sources. I see you've reverted several of my changes: while you're welcome to do so, it's generally preferable to begin a discussion at the talk page (Talk:Kelly Townsend) rather than reverting without explanation. If you haven't done so already, you might also look through my edit summaries in the article history, where I've explained the rationale behind each of my edits. I hope I've been fairly clear, but let me know if you have any questions about any of the above or any of my edits. All the best, – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you. I didn't know. I appreciate your updates. You worded some better and provided links. I think it is important that this info is in one more easily accessible place so the clear patterns show with our elected officials. JoanTEditor (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know if my edits are acceptable. JoanTEditor (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please advise which information needs better sourcing? JoanTEditor (talk) 10:14, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See existing edits made on the article page. Corkindale (talk) 17:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See if the revised format proves helpful. Existing format includes a lot of controversies that may not comply with WP:UNDUE. Irrespective of that interpretation, if included they would be more compliant with WP:BLP if listed in the following format:

election information
legislative accomplishments
legal/cultural controversies

References

That makea sense. I think what I had been getting at is there is alot of information out there regarding her but it was disjointed and all over the place in separate articles. I believed there was enough out there in the public interest that its good to have at least some of it in one place. Thank you again for your edits. JoanTEditor (talk) 01:58, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a better structure is in place now for you to follow so happy editing. Corkindale (talk) 02:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article moved to draftspace

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Stephen Richer, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to Draft:Stephen Richer where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:48, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Richer (October 4)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 people). 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:Stephen Richer 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.
