Hi! It looks as if you've done nothing since you came here but add short unreferenced mentions of Eyebeam (organization). That probably is not a great idea, as those mentions add little or nothing to our knowledge of the various artists, and – taken all together – your edits could be seen as promotional. Could I suggest looking for some different way to contribute to the project? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:03, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

January 2016

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sarah Cook (curator), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please take a moment to read up on policy and MOS

Hello B kushinski,

You have contributed a large number of good faith edits to artist's biographies, adding a brief sentence about their involvement with Eyebeam. There are some problems with your edits, and I'm concerned that your contributions create work for other editors who now need to fix problems that you have created. You have been reminded that you need to provide a source, which you appear have been doing since the reminder, but the source you choose is not ideal, as is is a primary source. Please read up on WP:PRIMARY. Also, you have been adding the Eyebeam material to the lead of the article, as you did here. The lead is the summary of the body, and should not contain miscellany that is not covered in the remainder of the article Please see MOS:LEAD. I don't mean to discourage you, but I urge you to consider the impact of your edits on other editors. Don't hesitate to ask for help at the Teahouse All the best, Mduvekot (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Joo Youn Paek, from its old location at User:Bmk567/sandbox/Joo Youn Paek. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 18:33, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ingrid Burrington (February 17)

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

Is this draft meant to be a biography of a living person of Burrington, or an essay about her ideas? If it is a biography, it needs to focus on her life and career. If it is about her ideas, any idea that she has written notably about, in the sense of having multiple third-party reliable sources comment, should have its own draft article.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ingrid Burrington and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello! Bmk567, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ingrid Burrington (February 17)

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

It is still not clear whether this draft is meant to be a biography of a living person, in which case it contains too little information about the subject, or whether it is meant to be about her ideas, in which case each of the ideas that is notable should be in a separate article. This draft does not make a case for her notability. Also, are you Ingrid Burrington?

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ingrid Burrington and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joo Youn Paek (February 22)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Joo Youn Paek and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
