Your submission at Articles for creation: David Hertzberg (March 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Randompersonediting 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 music-related topics). 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.

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:David Hertzberg 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.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: David Hertzberg (April 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CurryTime7-24 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Subject probably is notable, but the draft in this current state reads like a series of PR blurbs rather than an encyclopedic article. To the editor working on this draft: please read the links included in the rejection template so you can understand what this draft needs before it can be approved for mainspace.

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.

query about meaning of "reviewed"

@TechnoSquirrel69 - Thank you for reviewing this article. I have a background in old-fashioned analog copy editing but am new to Wikipedia. What does it mean that this article was reviewed but neither accepted nor declined? Is further feedback needed or should I continue to edit the article as I see fit and wait for another review? Thank you so kindly so your eyes and assistance. 00ranges (talk) 05:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey 00ranges, could you link to the article that you're referring to in your message? I'm not entirely sure what the context of your question is. Thanks. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article I'm referring to is Draft:David Hertzberg. I received a notice that you reviewed the article yesterday, but the article was neither accepted nor declined. I'm curious to know what this means, and if there is something I should do as a result. Many thanks for your help. 00ranges (talk) 09:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still checking with some of the software people, but I believe that message was sent to you by mistake. I was conducting some routine checks on your draft, but I did not engage with it in my capacity as an AfC reviewer. I appreciate your patience with the situation; you can feel free to continue editing the page as usual. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:46, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for looking into this and for your quick reply. Is there something I can do to further improve the article and/or expedite the review process? Appreciate your help and expertise here. 00ranges (talk) 20:49, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see below, I've accepted your submission. The most important feedback I have for you is to avoid copying text from external sources — your draft contained entire paragraphs copied from the sources cited, which is not acceptable on Wikipedia per the copyright violations policy. I have removed a significant amount of text, but there's still some cleanup left to do. See the report — the similarity percentage should ideally be in the single digits. Also, the source BroadwayWorld is considered unreliable, and I'd recommend removing or replacing any citations to it. I've placed some maintenance tags on the article highlighting these issues which you can feel free to remove once addressed. Let me know if you have questions about anything else. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your help with this, for accepting the article, and for your feedback. I have deleted all uses of the source BroadwayWorld, and in one instance, replaced it with a reliable source. And thank you for your edits to the quoted material. I have edited and changed them a bit to prioritize relevant description of the subject over qualitative evaluation, and paraphrased and summarized accordingly to avoid excessive quoting of cited sources. I have also removed the maintenance tags. Again, many thanks for your assistance. 00ranges (talk) 23:29, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
