September 2021[edit]

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:Ellison Hoover, from its old location at User:LynnMcRae/sandbox. 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. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 21:36, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Herschel C. Logan[edit]

Hello, LynnMcRae,

Thank you for creating Herschel C. Logan.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

There are numerous unsourced statements, which require inline citations per WP:BURDEN.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Meena}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

@Meena:

Thank you for the feedback as I am still relatively new. I see I didn't cite sources for basic biographical facts since they came from multiple placesin my overall source list. I will seek out other instances that appear missing (or that I relied on a single citation covering more than the immediate paragraph). Since I see no specific ^{[citation needed]} tags, do I understand the process is to address the issue, then remove the refimprove tag myself if I feel I have provided sufficient added citations, with my justification in Talk? or is there a more formal review process to invoke? Thank you for your guidance.

Hi, thank you for asking for help when you need it

You need to ensure that every statement on the article has an inline citation to help meet WP:V. Or, if an entire paragraph is backed up by 1 source, then put that citation at the end of the paragraph. – Meena • 07:53, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{Re|Meena}

One more followup/broader question, as I often look to other/similar articles for guidance. If I see an article like [J. J. Lankes], similar to mine (I actually link to it), which has sources but zero inline citations, would it be appropriate for me as a fairly novice contributor to add a refimprove tag? I so respect the roles of experienced Wikipedia editors and the enormity of the task and also understand it's largely volunteer driven. But I want to make sure my actions are appropriate and welcome. Thanks!
