Ora Williams moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ora Williams, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Atlantic306 (talk) 23:20, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ora Williams has been accepted

Ora Williams, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Tatiana Rosenthal

Hi there, Dsp13. I have come across two articles on the same person: Tatiana Rosenthal and your more recent Tatiana Rozenthal. I think the best way of dealing with this problem would be for you to edit your additional details into the older article and provide a redirect from Rozenthal.--Ipigott (talk) 13:47, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Whoops. What's even more embarrassing is that I seem to have written both articles, and didn't remember the first when I wrote the second. Thanks for spotting it! Dsp13 (talk) 15:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for sorting it out so quickly. I'm not surprised you can't remember what you wrote about some time ago, especially as you have created over 1,500 articles. I suffer from the same problem.--Ipigott (talk) 06:55, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
