Your submission at Articles for creation: Stephen Thomas (naval officer) (November 11)[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 Cabrils 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently does not. Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners. Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere!

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 Draft:Stephen Thomas (naval officer) 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.

Hi Cabrils,

I have fixed the duplicate reference, and added another from the BBC and cleaned up the refernces.

I hope its acceptable now.

Many thanks for the assistance.

Hi Cabrils, The youtube video I mentioned is actually from the Imperial War Museum (https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060027483), but I can't find a direct access still available through the museum. Also I have included the refence from the Gazette suplement (the offical paper for notifying awards and medals): https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/49134/supplement/12837. This video is also an Imperial war Museum production : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lw8eWE7aQ8&t=974s and Steve's combat is mentioned by his boss at 18.27. It can be accessed through the museums site here: https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/falklands-conflict-in-the-air-episode-3. I have put these links into the page. Also another youtube video has the original BBC reference here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0077c0f but it is no longer available except through youtube. So, 3 reliable source? Imperial War Museum, The Gazette and the 2 books (although I only have a copy of Wards book) Appreciate your help with this.

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Well done on making some good progress since the last review; however, some bits do remain unsourced (e.g., #Early life). If those bits are sourced, and perhaps the Falklands War section is tidied up a little (the date subheadings appear superfluous), then it could pass next time. Good work, though!

Dear Mattdaviesfsic,

I have removed the unsources material (later life) and added references for the start and finish of his career. I plan on adding the additional comments as soon as I can find the appropriate references. I am surprised by your comment on the Falklands War section being "Untidy"?. I used a similar format to an existing article (of Thomas's boss and that was acceptable to Wikipedia), and dividing the text into shorter chronological ordered sections which had the important dates as a subtitle seems quite correct and TIDY, so I am at a miss as what to do to this other than remove the dates (even though this format was accepted elsewhere in Wikipedia. This article is about a underappreciated war hero who was awarded one of the United Kingdom's highest decorations for gallant and distinguished service but won't be published because of his achievements in chronological order with the dates of his exceptional military actions. I have removed the dates in order to "tidy" the article and I would therefore respectfully ask you to re review the article and consider it for publication and rectify this "Injustice" of recognising this person's achievements.
