Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 8)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), 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:

This draft has no references. Please do not create multiple copies of drafts here and at Draft: George Freedman.

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 User:Uncertainty3214/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Multiple copies

You seem to be creating multiple copies of your submission about George Freeman, I've deleted them all except the most recent one which is User:Uncertainty3214/sandbox. Please just work on this copy in future. As it stands you have a lot of duplicated copy in there. You don't need to re-add everything each time the submission is declined, just edit the existing copy; it can always be compared against the previous version from the page history. Although it looks like you have added some references, the formatting makes it very difficult to see this and what they support. Wikipedia has several ways of marking up references and you need to adopt one of these. The commonest and how to do it is laid out at Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. Have a read of that page then try and use the information on your submission. That way it is going to be a lot easier for a reviewer to decide if he is a notable person, from what I can glean, he probably is but the information needs laying out in a way that this is easier to tell.

The article is back up for review. I didn't get that it was blank so perhaps there is progress. I think it's now a concern of referencing style

I have added email links if there is doubt with his notability.

Can you please provide an example of referencing style?

Also I find the jargin of sandboxes and tea house limiting and confusing. What are they in reference to? Can they/ it be more appropriately named?

The userbility is surprisingly overwhelming and without rhythm. Very daunting for a novice and older user
