You need to hit "Publish page" in order to save your work. This will make it publicly-viewable to anyone who knows where to look, but Google will not index user pages. (It used to be "save page" but people kept complaining about their work being findable, so it was changed.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 21:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your reply.

When i click on the Publish page button, a pop-up menu appear with the text 'Save changes'

You can chose the options: Permanent, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months.

What does this mean and what is advised to chose for the first time you want to save the work.

My page is for sure not ready and i still need want to add many things.

I just want to safe my draft now to not loose my work.

And what does the first line in my page mean.

Thanks for your supportand time ! Johnst65 (talk) 03:44, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Saxon Quinn moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Paul Saxon Quinn, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi, as you can see, I've moved this back into the draft space, because there are a number of issues that need addressing.

First and foremost, while the band Saxon is clearly notable, on account of their gold records etc., individual band members need to establish their individual notability, otherwise per WP:BANDMEMBER they will just redirect to the band. It isn't entirely clear that this person is notable, at least not by the general WP:GNG route, which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources — note that interviews, blogs, and other primary source don't count.
Secondly, the copyvio detector reports close paraphrasing of several external sources, and these passages need to be rewritten in your own words (you can see the offending text highlighted in red in the copyvio detector results).
Some of the content in the draft is not referenced, which would be a problem for any article, but especially so for an article on a living person, see WP:BLP. Please note that every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and private personal details such as DOB must be clearly supported by an inline citation to a reliable source, or else removed.
There are also issues with the name.
1. The article is titled 'Paul Saxon Quinn', but I'm assuming that 'Saxon' isn't part of his name? This should probably be moved to something like 'Paul Quinn (guitarist)' instead.
2. The article starts with 'Paul (Anthony) Quinn', without explaining whether the 'Anthony' is his middle name, actual name, or something else.
3. And finally, the article refers to him several times as 'Paul', but we should never call people by their first name only; these should be replaced with either full name, surname only, or personal pronoun.

Issues 1 and 2 are serious enough to possibly cause this article to be deleted, had it been left in the main article space, and this is why I've moved it. Issues 3 and 4 are lesser problems, but nevertheless need addressing before publishing. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Hi, Thanks you so much for these valuable comments. This is my first article so i am pleased with adressing these issues. I am used to write scientific papers, but i am new in the WiKi community. I will go carefully thru all these comments and make sure i will improve them by the WiKi guidlines. Paul Quinn is indeed a founding member of Saxon and thus partly also creativily responsible to these gold certified albums. His name is on these albums, but i am a few confused how this individual notablily can be proved if it can not be done with interviews, and blogs.. How this is normally done. On point 2: i used " " to mark the text i paraphrased and also add the source. Is this allowed in WiKi or do i still need to rewrite it in my own words. Point 3 i will check and relativily easy to tackle. Point 4 is also easy to adress. So i will work on the Draft to improve the article. Do i need to click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button or i can i directly move it into the public space like i did this time. Thanks again, highly appricated.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul (Anthony) Quinn (Guitarist) (December 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 Thatguy1987 was:

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
