I DID write and submit an article yesterday (15.04.15) but you now tell me that my article was empty. Where has my article gone?

The article that was and is empty is at User:TAPNorton/Third Age Press. I think you wished to submit User:TAPNorton/Third Age Press which you have not yet done. I will take steps to initiate the move to the Draft: namespace for you. You need to submit your draft. The order of these things does not matter Fiddle Faddle 10:23, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As a first time user, I want to update the bio of General Richard H. Ellis to include a few extra lines regarding his service after retirement from the USAF. I do not know how to properly insert references. Thank you. RubyJMDE (talk) 19:13, 16 April 2015 (UTC)Jane[reply]

Request on 23:58:40, 16 April 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Kimoller

I wrote for assistance a few days ago but could not initially find a record of my message, but now with some help I have found it, along with a response. I now have a more concrete inquiry about verifiability and notability. I submitted an article about Burton D, Carley (not accepted yet, on notability and verifiability grounds), who is a very prominent national level clergyman of Unitarian Universalism (see Wikipedia article) and has been pastor of the Church of the River (First Unitarian Church of Memphis) (see Wikipedia article) for 32 years. The fact that he is a prominent leader is easy to verify in a regular magazine publication called UU World. If I include in the submitted (revised) article, website locations where the archive of the magazine (published quarterly since at least 1999, with a current circulation of 126,000) provides independent references to his roles in the national organization, would that be sufficient to meet the verifiability and notability requirements? There are additional independent sources like this that verify Carley's role as a significant leader in Unitarian Universalism. Would it be useful to cite more of these additional sources? Would website addresses where information from these sources can be found be sufficient? For mentions in the magazine, we can cite issues, dates and page numbers of references to him if necessary, but I think it would seem to clutter the article.

@Kimoller: I have added a comment to Draft:Burton D. Carley which, while generic, answers your question. Fiddle Faddle 10:55, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
