ISCB Wikipedia competition 2017 - final stretch

Hi ThokozileA, thanks for signing up as a participant in the ISCB Wikipedia competition. The period for eligible edits will end on December 31 (UTC), just over four weeks from now. On behalf of the organizers, I would like to encourage you to move forward along this final stretch of the event: as a reminder, your claimed article is Genome. If you've any questions or comments, I would be happy to read them on my talk page, or on the competition talk page. Thanks, and good luck! Amkilpatrick (talk) 09:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Clare Malone (January 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Innisfree987 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hi and thanks for your submission! In order for Malone to qualify for an entry in the encyclopedia, we would need to see more secondary source coverage of her/her work from independent sources--that is, sources she didn't personally write, nor were written by places she worked or went to school. So the AdWeek source is a good start--more like this would really help. Thanks! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:04, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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:Clare Malone and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Clare Malone, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
