answer to (talk) message

Hello Jezhotwells, I got your message. I have just, this morning (French time) created my first article, and I got my first problems. This article is the plot summary of PG Wodehouse's book The Man Upstairs. My article is about the story "When Doctors Disagree". I also created a link in "The Man Upstairs" article to reach my article. First problem : if you can reach my article through the link in "The Man Upstairs", you cannot reach it if you just write the name of the story in the Search Box at the top right of the Wikipedia site. Second problem : At the top of my article, Wikipedia has added a box explaining that my article needs additional citations for verification. At the bottom of the article, I gave an external link to the Gutenberg Project site where you can read this short story in its full length. It is then easy for anyone to verify if my summary is good or not. I guess I have made a mistake somewhere… but where ? I'am waiting for your answer to know where my mistake lies. Cordially yours GabbiGB (talk) 11:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

A link to an online copy of the story is fine, but it is not a reliable sopurce discussing teh story. I answered you in full at WP:EAR#My new article "When Doctors Disagree (short story)" posted to-day. It is likely that the article on the story does not meet the notability guidelines for books or stories, so it will likely be deleted soon. Please familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines, expecially those about referencing. Links above. Jezhotwells (talk) 11:52, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
