Your submission at Articles for creation: Marcia Joanne Bennett (June 26)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You cannot use her own books as sources. The article must be built from information found in third-party sources (newspapers, magazines) that are independent of the subject of the article. You need reviews of her work, or substantial articles about her in reliable sources. I am not sure she will meet WP:AUTHOR - her books show up held in very few libraries.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Marcia Joanne Bennett and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Nomination of Martha deMey Clow for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Martha deMey Clow is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martha deMey Clow until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

I want to thank you for your good faith contribution to the project. Unfortunately, based on what I can see, I do not think Martha deMey Clow meets Wikipedia's standards for notability. Specifically, the criteria for notability for an author do not seem to be satisfied in her case. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be following your talk page, so you can reply here.

Students

Please remind your students to not include revealing personal information (email, social media, addresses, etc.). David notMD (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David notMD, they have been reminded on several occasions. Is there a page in particular that gave you pause? I can talk to the student about it. Best, Stevenarntson (talk) 17:07, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had not looked at any. Just that in past, looking in on student assignments to Wikipedia, have seen issues. David notMD (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And looked. Most have not made any entry yet. A few have written about their Wikipedia interests in ways that suggest they thing their original research/thoughts/information could be valid content to add. See for example English-3000, ENGL101S0502, An Kobayashi. David notMD (talk) 17:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for checking David notMD. We'll be learning about NOR and Verifiability this week in lecture. Best, Stevenarntson (talk) 17:47, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikicode

Hello! I saw your post in the Teahouse. I would reccommend getting them to edit with good old wikicode rather than the visual editor. Plain text and italics, bold, indents and links is 90% of the wikicode they will ever need.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, ThatMontrealIP, I have considered it a little, and may do so. The visual editor is very convenient for the populations I deal with, though, because there's very low computer literacy. Most of my students have clicked a "bold" button in MS Word, but very few (if any) of them have ever marked up text for styling. Of course, they could learn--but I've got limited time with them and many other issues to try to cover... :) Best! steven

Hello

I just wanted to say I'm happy to help as a more direct contact with any issues you or your students may have. I'm a fairly experienced editor here and really would like to see new editors thrive. If you haven't read it already, you may find the info at WP:ASSIGN useful. Thank you! Ed6767 (talk) 00:17, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting in touch, Ed6767. I'm finishing up my Wikipedia work for this quarter, and it's going well. When Fall quarter starts up in September, I'll be leading 50 more students through some trainings, and will get in touch if there are questions. I'll also have a look at the resources you mention here. Best! Stevenarntson (talk) 16:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is Justin Pham. I don't see the edit icon on my page for my Wikipedia page and I am confused as to why it didn't show up. Is this a technical difficulty?
