@I dream of horses: Maybe a good start would be how to properly respond to you, ha! Yes, a novice and trying to write a first article. DeyoGlines (talk) 15:53, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You responded to me! The article wizard and articles for creation are a good way to learn how to make articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by I dream of horses (talk • contribs) 16:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! I hope we can stay in touch. It seems something I should learn in our conversation is how to make my signature smaller like yours above. @I dream of horses:.

Actually, I "made it smaller" by accidentally not signing, something I thankfully don't do very often. Whoops! -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 22:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ethan Chorin (June 10)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article must be built from information found in third-party sources (newspapers, magazines) that are independent of the subject of the article. Those sources must be referenced in-line with the text they support. No un-referenced material is allowed. The references must be wholly or substantially about the subject of the article, not about related topics. Also see wp:AUTHOR for criteria.

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:Ethan Chorin 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.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Ethan Chorin. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!
