Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Cardwell (June 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CurryTime7-24 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:

WP:JOURNALIST

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:Peter Cardwell 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.

Keir Mather

There seems to be no source for his being at Hymers College. How do you know this? I've removed it as unsourced. Are you connected with Mather in some way - friend, colleague, family? If so, please read WP:COI. PamD 18:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - listed in the alumni section of Hymers College page. Will see if I can find a further source. Oxonwiki (talk) 18:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also according to the print edition of the London Evening Standard (pg. 11) he worked as a researcher for former MP Matthew Parris. Oxonwiki (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023

Thanks for contributing to the article David Pepper (intelligence official). However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting in touch. I have added a citation as requested. Oxonwiki (talk) 22:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 22:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023

Hello, I'm Nagol0929. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gagan Mohindra, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nagol0929 (talk) 14:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2024 UoOCE

This page is turning into an interesting one. Thanks for your help. I said "went on the record with" as a slight dig at all the people only willing to comment anonymously, but I'll let your toning down stand.

Something that did quite surprise me was Cherwell reporting on the new committee without any comment at all. Wouldn't have happened in my day. Moonraker (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed - and already a lot of coverage in the national press given that no candidates have officially declared as yet! Bram880 (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jan Royall

Can I suggest that you edit a little more gently at Jan Royall? While your opponents are clearly behaving worse than you, it fundamentally takes two to edit war. You are also not giving any explanation of your edits, either on the talk page or in edit summaries, which makes your edits come over more high handed than they actually are.
