- @Mollerbook: Welcome to the Help Desk. Do you have a specific question? Your draft, which was formerly at Draft:Rav Yoseph Weiss, had to be deleted because it contained material that had been copied from a website where the text was protected by copyright. The vast majority of the text you can find on the Internet is copyrighted, and that means it can't simply be copied and pasted into a Wikipedia article. Instead, you should summarize what reliable sources say about a subject in your own words. Here is a useful resource about how to paraphrase well if you're interested.

- You refer to the subject as an award-winning alchemist. Alchemy has been considered a pseudoscience for two hundred years. Please clarify. Your reference doesn't clarify. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:18, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

[edit]
My submission was rejected because of a problem with sources. However, I provided sources from online media and news websites, including Business Standard, Economic Times and Tech In Asia. What sources constitute as reliable? That would help me in shortlisting references. I used "Croak.it" -wikipedia to search for links as advised in the Help section, and thought that I'd collated the best sources.
Thanks in advance.

- The sources do not appear to be independent. If you need more advice, please ask for help at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:17, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

[edit]
Hey.
The article I submitted was declined. I'm wondering if someone can help me. Apparently, the references I provided do not adequately show the subject's notability. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what kind of sources I should look for? Also, should the article be shortened, perhaps? Any other tips? Thanks in advance.

Hi. My user name, Pidgebird, seems to be defunct. I would like to re-edit my submission: The Black Chronicles: Our History As News. I submitted it first on 19 March 2014 and had some useful back and forths with FreeRangeFrog. My last effort was on 1 May 2015. Do I need to re-activate Username: Pidgebird? Can I move ahead with my re-submission? Thank you!

- Your username seems to be working. If you have difficulties with it, ask for help at the Help Desk or the Teahouse, but I don't see a problem, so go ahead and try to edit the draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:15, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
