Your submission at Articles for creation: Anastasia Kingsnorth (September 3)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe 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.

DYKs

[edit]

Re your comment about "drive-by nominations". As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who started the article, or who nominated it. A drive-by can encourage a newer editor to write more articles. It encouraged me when I first started editing some 20 years ago. So, if you spot a new article with an interesting fact about it, feel free to nominate it at DYK. Mjroots (talk) 06:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries @Mjroots:. In fact, my first DYK nom was truly a drive-by nomination which I nominated just in-time: Cozy game (nom page) as I never edited the article other than (just now) to add to the cozy games category. I consider Jubilee Bridge (Tay) to be semi-drive-by since I improved it after nomination. The Midland Main Line upgrade was mostly edited by another user, then I proved that to GA and got that onto DYK. I sometimes considered a drive-by nom, but I often forget about it unless I created/improved it myself. My guess is that only 10% of created articles get nominated by DYK. My guess is that not many people know about DYK. JuniperChill (talk) 09:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me also add that I created and nominated Tiny Glade (nom) just before the 2024 rail crash in Wales. JuniperChill (talk) 10:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And the Tiny Glade article is getting a lot of views, almost 1000 yesterday, way more than I expected. I bet the DYK will get over 500 views per hour. JuniperChill (talk) 13:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling error

[edit]

I don't think there is a problem with correcting a spelling error even in a closed discussion per WP:REDACT as all it does is correct a spelling and the only way the meaning may be considered to have been changed is as a result of the error. I don't wish to have spelling errors in my posts and given that I later discovered it I don't think there is a problem with simply correcting it. I'm aware that correcting spelling errors etc in other people's comments is generally frowned upon, see Template:Uw-tpv1 but I don't think that applies with you're own posts even if archived, thanks. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out you've been doing it to others as well and none of the others have been reverted. I think this is a fine example of WP:IAR which I forgot about, and possibly also WP:NOTBURO. You are welcome to revert what I did to your comment at Talk:Newhaven. I would never edit others comments except under WP:TPO. There's even a discussion going on about this too about applying WP:TPO on archived discussions JuniperChill (talk) 23:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I don't really think there is a problem correcting typos even in archived discussions on you're own posts. As far as other people's typos go I don't do this except in cases like this where the typo would cause confusion in a discussion and if I do I always make sure I ping the user. I do occasionally remove double signs or additional headers from move discussions but otherwise per TOP I don't generally edit other people's posts. That said if I saw someone correcting typos in other people's posts I wouldn't revert or ask them not to unless the person who posted the comments complained about it.
