Dear Wiki

I re-edited my submitted article and made it very brief and supplied references for all factual matters but I could not then see how to save the changes I had made using the 'edit source' option. Can you let me know how I do this. Sorry to be so stupid but I have not done it before. Cheers Mfsstshr (talk) 15:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See you there! Numberguy6 (talk) 16:11, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you. I am still not sure how I can supply a reference to something which may be based on personal knowledge (e.g. where someone went to school) or when someone was appointed to a particular job. Cheers, Mfsstshr (talk) 09:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Rigby (medieval historian) (August 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

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:

citation style isnot clear please read WP:REFB for help.
