Your submission at Articles for creation: Adrian Shaughnessy (April 24)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

Your only 2 sources are obituaries of unrelated people written by him which are considered WP:PRIMARY and cannot be used to establish notability. The rest of this article has no sources whatsoever.

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:Adrian Shaughnessy 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 there @Blaze Wolf. Thanks again for your feedback on this. If you had time, could you take another look at my article, which is now updated with sources/citations? @Tails Wx mentioned below that they would leave it to another reviewer after my improvements. Many thanks. Looktowindward (talk) 08:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, some sources don’t have significant coverage of Shaughnessy, and therefore doesn’t satisfy notability guidelines, per Blaze’s second decline reason above. On second thought, it needs more work. Tails Wx 12:43, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Many thanks for the review and the help. I accidentally submitted the article before adding my sources/citations to the text, which I have here as a list. They are now in the text (both as refs to contributions to graphic design, and also, importantly, to articles where the subject is Adrian himself). Looktowindward (talk) 14:24, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am also referencing the published works now. Thanks. Looktowindward (talk) 14:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks better, I'll leave it up to another reviewer. Good work on the improvements! Tails Wx 15:31, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! Looktowindward (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking my IP address

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Looktowindward (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

A block was put on my IP address (the message suggested my IP was within a 'range' that included accounts which had been abusive). I have not been abusive on the site. I am currently accessing Wikipedia via another Wifi to write this, so as yet haven't checked at home if the block has already been lifted (I left a message for the person who had blocked the IP, via another account I set up, but they have not replied yet). Thanks.

Decline reason:

You have not provided your IP so we can look into this. If you don't want to post it publicly(understandable), you may use WP:UTRS to provide it privately. 331dot (talk) 09:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
