User talk:Lola60311

Please feel free to talk on this page.

Welcome

I can't decide which of the welcome templates to use. The most important page for a new user who wants to learn lots is the Editor's index to Wikipedia. --Teratornis (talk) 18:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barb Higgins

I have started a page for Barb in my userspace feel free to add information to it, once it meets Wikipedia standards I will move it to the main space. It must maintain a neutral point of view and everything needs to be properly sourced. The article should mostly be about her career as a journalist, since her political career is still barely existent, Wikipedia is not a news outlet. If you have any questions or concerns please leave them here as I will have your talkpage on my watchlist. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 20:45, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much I appreciate it.

Please review WP:POLITICIAN; a candidate for political office is not notable just for being a candidate. Certainly if she wins, she'll obviously qualify for an article as a big-city mayor — but Wikipedia's job when it comes to politicians is to write articles about people who have actually held a political office, not to be a publisher of campaign literature for candidates who haven't actually been elected to anything yet. We're not news media, we're an encyclopedia, and simply being a candidate for political office doesn't in and of itself make her a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article.

Toronto also has municipal elections coming up in the fall — and out of all the candidates for mayor, the only ones who have articles on here are the ones who were already notable enough for other reasons (being an MPP, a city councillor, etc.) that they'd still have articles even if they weren't running for mayor. As Mcmatter points out above, Barb Higgins might be sufficiently notable as a journalist, but even that's not a given when it comes to local news anchors. It ultimately comes down to the quality of the sources — if the only meaningful information on the web about her career in journalism comes from a profile on CTV's own website, then that won't be good enough, as it will fail the requirement that sources be independent of the topic.

You're certainly free to work on a new version of the article in userspace, but unless and until she actually wins the election I just can't guarantee that a version sitting in articlespace wouldn't get deleted again if it isn't supported by really solid sources.

Ok, thanks for taking the time to give input and feedback. I'll work on the article as award winning journalist and see if I can meet the requirements you've mentioned, and, if she wins then at least I've go t a head start.

Mcmatter, please have a look at the Barb Higgins page in your userspace. I have worked to create an encyclopedic article stub that is primarily about her journalistic career and only peripherally about her current run for office. Several secondary references have been used, including news outlets beyond CTV where she worked. I feel notability as a journalist has been established through her documentary and series that have won national awards. let me know if you think it is nearly ready to go up.

I think it may be ready, I have put up a request for feedback if the reviewer gives a positive review I will move it to the namespace. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 16:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to add, I am doing this article a longer way then many articles are written, the reason I am doing it this way is so we have time to work on it , or else it would have been speedy deleted before the 3 edit. For any future articles that you wish to create I always suggest doing it in your userspace first and having a peer review done before you move it to the namespace. Many editors, myself included, scan the new page creation log and hit hard and fast with criteria for speedy deletion to maintain the Wikipedia policies. The Userspace is more liberal and allows time for editors to grow new healthy articles to meet Wikipedia policies in the namespace.- Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 16:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page is now live- Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 16:41, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I appreciate the help and a bit of guidance putting up my first article.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Business Council of Alberta (October 15)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 organizations and companies). 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Business Council of Alberta 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:Business Council of Alberta, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.
