Abe Jones

Hello, and thank you for trying to improve the article about Abe Jones Jr. I thought I needed to explain why I undid some of your changes.

Some of the additions you made were factually incorrect:

Mr Jones didn't start playing in the Football League in 1919;
he didn't play for Stoke in the Football League;
there's nothing in the article to verify his date of death as after 1924 – he was known to be alive in 1924, but that doesn't verify after.

Others ran counter to the standard formatting used here, e.g.:

If we don't know the dates a player was at a club, it's standard practice to leave the field in the infobox blank, not to write "unknown" or similar. Similarly, if we haven't done any research on part of a subject's life or career, we don't write that that part of his life is unknown: it isn't unknown, it's just that no-one's added any details to the Wikipedia article yet.
Where a subject has a nickname that's just a common contraction of their first name, we don't need to repeat it in the opening sentence: see MOS:NICKNAME.
British English for a player of soccer football is footballer, not football player.
It's standard to keep separate references separate, and to be as precise as possible, within reason, to make it clear where the cited content comes from and easier for a reader wishing to verify the content to do so: in Mr Jones's case, his personal data and the clubs he played for are on page 101 of the Matthews book, and the actual games he played in are on p.162. See WP:CITEHOW, WP:CITEVAR, WP:CITEPAGE.

If there's anything you want to ask, please feel free. I'll leave the page alone for a bit, in case there's something else you need explaining, and then restore the standard formatting. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elliott Marc Jones (May 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 Chrissymad 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.

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:Elliott Marc Jones 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:Elliott Marc Jones, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Elliott-Marc Jones

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Elliott-Marc Jones, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Indie Advertisers

Hello Zhanglispain,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Indie Advertisers for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
