Please help me with...

Hi, I've done enough to my first article and am ready to submit it for review. It is in my sandbox at UnlikelySailor, a bio about Reese Palley. As I was working on it the last few months there was always a box I could click on to submit it for review and publication. Now that I'm ready to do that, the button is gone! Arrgh. Thank you for any help you can give me. I have also asked this question on the Teahouse, wasn't sure if I should but thought it couldn't hurt. Thank you! Butch

It looks as though the sandbox template (with the blue submit button) has already been restored - you can also add the code {{subst:submit}} to start the submission process. However, in its current state it will be rejected instantly, as the page contains no inline citations to reliable, independent sources to verify its content. Please have a look at WP:RS and WP:V, and add references to the article (a simple introductory guide is available here). The article itself looks fairly good in and of itself (although the quotations section should be removed), but without inline references, there's no way it's going to be accepted.

Hi UnlikelySailor, I have edited the draft to give you an example on how to "combine" references (make several citations to a single reference). See [1]. As you can see I give a name to one of the references (so you replace <ref> with <ref name="insertname">). I then remove all other references and replace them with the code <ref name="insertname" />. If you have any questions let me know. All the best, Taketa (talk) 22:15, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
