AfC notification: Draft:Cojoba costaricensis has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Cojoba costaricensis. Thanks! KylieTastic (talk) 11:38, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my article :) I removed the quoted content and paraphrased what I could paraphrase confidently. also, if you have time, what does "source is YB-NC-SA" mean? I looked up YB-NC-SA and didn't find anything. sorry I am new to contributing to Wikipedia. Morace80 (talk) 18:43, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, yes paraphrasing technical botanical descriptions is extremely hard for non-botanists (I'm not one). There are a lot of nice people over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants that would probably be able to help with such tasks. Sorry had a typo is the license - I meant BY-NC-SA which if you click the "Show Info" for that source shows it was released under. It's almost good enough as we can use BY or BY-SA (and others but I wont confuse) but the NC in that means Non-Commercial which is not compatible with Wikipedia - See: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ - Copyright is taken very seriously here due to the legal reasons but it's hard to understand all the details. In general look for non-copyrighted material such as Public Domain or CC BY-SA (which if you look near the publish button is what you publish every one of your edits under). I had noticed your edit to the draft earlier but you had self published before I got back home to accept formally, but that's fine. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:41, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Ways to improve Nathan Shaner

Hello, Morace80,

Thank you for creating Nathan Shaner.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I see that the profile photo used on this page is declared as your own work. At least at a glance, the sourcing looks fine and establishes notability, but any potential violations of neutral coverage must be declared on the talk page or in edit descriptions. Until the nature of your relationship is clearly stated, this article cannot be marked as "reviewed". Thank you!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|PatrickJWelsh}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hi Patrick,

thanks for reviewing my page. I'm a new wikipedia editor and am still learning my way around editing. I just updated the image with the correct sourcing (the image is not mine, it is in public domain, i am going to request the original image at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nathan_Shaner.jpg be deleted). Even though i did not take the photo I did work for Shaner 2 years ago and just disclosed this in my most recent edit. I should have done these steps initially, I was just trying to finish the article.

any additional feedback would be much appreciated,
