Your submission at Articles for creation: Simon Langley-Evans (January 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HickoryOughtShirt?4 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:

He might pass WP:NPROF but you need more citations

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.

Hi Shakeandvac! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Malcolm J. Bennett that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hi there- thanks for the advice. I am new to this. I thought it was minor as all I did was link the stub to preexisting categories.

That probably was minor, it was an edit on 26th Jan I was thinking of. Anything you get stuck with you, feel free to let me know on my talk page! -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where to place ref tags

Hi, the following should help with placement of punctuation in regards to references, I have corrected your ref edits in Campuses of the University of Nottingham

Ref tags should follow any punctuation (usually a period), not precede it; see WP:REFPUNC. There should be no space between the punctuation and the tag:

Markup	Renders as
...text.<ref>Content of the reference</ref> {{reflist}}	...text.^[1] Right ^ Content of the reference
...text<ref>Content of the reference</ref>. {{reflist}}	...text^[1]. Wrong (tag before punctuation) ^ Content of the reference
...text. <ref>Content of the reference</ref> {{reflist}}	...text. ^[1] Wrong (space before tag) ^ Content of the reference
