Your submission at Articles for creation: Jonathan Greenaway (August 7)

[edit ]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dege31 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Does not pass NBIO, does not pass NACADEMIC, only one source contributes to GNG (Revkin, 2016)

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jonathan Greenaway and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Missouri Williams (August 7)

[edit ]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Source 1 and 2 are primary sources. Source 3 is a random blog. Source 4 is your best source, but it is more about her book than herself. Same with source 5. Source 6 is another primary source written by her.

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 after they have been resolved.

Hi there,

Thanks for the comment on the draft. I'm still getting the hang of some of the specifics & standards of things on Wikipedia for different kinds of pages.

Just a sort of response/query about some of your comments.

Source 1 and 2 are primary sources.

Fair, I can edit in alternatives for these.

Source 3 is a random blog.

Locus Magazine is not a random blog. The specific web article cited is from their July 2022 print issue of the magazine. Locus Online has won Hugo Awards, the main magazine has won numerous. It's a staple of science fiction & fantasy media.

Source 4 is your best source, but it is more about her book than herself. Same with source 5.

Both sources are more about her book, but they are used to illustrate the praise & awards received for her work.

Source 6 is another primary source written by her.

Source 6 is neither a primary source, nor written by Missouri Williams. It is written by Matilda Battersby. The Bookseller is also the premier UK-trade publication for publishing & literature.

I'll go about editing in some better references for things tonight, but I'd appreciate some clarification on those points.

Tone

[edit ]

In the future, and especially for The Vivisectors, try avoiding an editorialized tone, and aim to sound neutral and encyclopedic. For example, These reviews and others all maintain praise for Williams' imagination & evocative prose however sounds very promotional. Always quote or neutrally rephrase a person's praise. Thank you. toby ^(t)(c)(rw) 20:24, 26 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
