Hi Iamseanjay,

You'll notice I've done a cleanup of the two drafts and your sandbox, the draft that you've submitted was placed in the draft space. I've declined it for now because it does not meet our standard for WP:Inline citations. You may want to review WP:REFB, feel free to ask if you have any more questions. You can get my attention on your talk page by including {{ping|MicrobiologyMarcus}} in your reply and signing it with four tildes ~~~~.

Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 21:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the review, can you please let me know which of the references is violating wikipedia referencing rule so I can make corrections. Thanks Iamseanjay (talk) 21:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Iamseanjay: it's not that any of your references are in violation of Wikipedia policies, it's that there are too few. There are two policies that are addressed by this: WP:Verifiability and WP:Notability. You need to cite every piece of fact stated in an article, and by doing so, you will show that the subject of the article has been covered by enough external sources (i.e. demonstrate notability) to warrant an article on the project.

In regard to your references, you have begun to use proper <ref> tages and {{cite web}} templates, but you have some errors. You'll notice on the bottom of your draft in the references section, it currently has "{{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)" in the references section.

Follow the tutorial for the reference toolbar on Help:Referencing for beginners or this video: File:RefTools rework.ogv.

As an aside, please do not resubmit without fixing the issues first. As it says on the template, If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

Note that I've added some things to the page so they fit the wikipedia formatting. This includes the {{reflist}} at the bottom to help format your references. Don't undo these edits as they are helpful to your page. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 21:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (February 22)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic 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 people). 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 User:Iamseanjay/sandbox 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.
