Please help me with... My references for the article I have written are mostly either in Hebrew or Yiddish. None as far as I know are available on the internet. All are for books published by the subject in the mid to late 1800's, books published by a historian in the 1980's and a journal article in a Hebrew language periodical in the 1980's, as well as a reference from the Jewish Encyclopedia (in English) (not sure but I believe it was the last version and was from either the 60's or 70's. I do not have the capability to type on this computer in Hebrew but can provide translation or transliteration for the references. What should I do? I have never done anything on Wikipedia before. But I am very familiar with my subject who was once a well known Zionist writer and is an ancestor of mine. Edgfeinberg (talk) 19:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edgfeinberg, offline sources are perfectly acceptable. It just means when you're using the refToolbar (see WP:REFB) you don't enter anything in the "URL" field. Primefac (talk) 14:50, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Natan Friedland (March 15)

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

The subject has potential. Only sources that have been published may be used in Wikipedia, so the references to personal communications from Rabbi Solomon Sternstein and Minnie Feinberg must be removed, as must the content they support if they are the only sources for it.

That leaves only works by Klausner as references. Wikipedia requires multiple references to establish notability, and counts all publications by the same author as a single reference for this purpose. Wikipedia requires multiple sources so that a balanced article can be written that doesn't simply repeat one person's point of view. If the subject is notable, then multiple writers will have written about him, in depth, independently, in multiple sources. The draft must cite at least one other reliable published source about Friedland and independent of Klausner.

I've fixed the footnote formatting issue raised by MatthewVanitas. I took the liberty of using cite templates to facilitate displaying more complete information about the references. This should help find the right reviewer and help them find the sources. One reference that needs more information is Ha Umah. I believe there has been more than one periodical by this name, so additional information such as publisher and date is needed for clarification.

As you break the text into sections, as MatthewVanitas has advised, you may find the essay"Writing better articles" useful. It has especially good advice about writing the lead. {{Biography}} gives a suggested framework for biographies, not all of which need use every section.

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.
