Diane Mary Bridson

Hallo, I saw this pop up in Category:Stubs and noticed it needed a little tidying up as well as stub-sorting, but then got into an edit conflict as you were still working on it. I'd done so many little changes that it seemed best to over-write your latest version, but I then compared and replaced the section on plants named for her, which I think was all that was lost.

A couple of little points: the opening sentence should be ... a sentence. Wikipedia ususally starts the article "'Xxx (born nnnn) is a yyyyy". Oh, and "born" rather than "b."

"Selected publications" is the usual heading to use, not just "Publications".

I thought the mention of her botanical abbreviation was probably better further down, I think that's where I've seen that template used for other botanists. I gave Gavin's dates (and added the pair of them to Bridson, the surname page). And gave her a couple of redirects from shorter names while I was at it.

Thanks for creating this article, and Happy Editing. Apologies if I missed anything in the edit conflict. PamD 16:32, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Avoiding edit conflicts

If you want to warn other editors to keep off for a while because you're still actively editing an article, you can add {{in use}}. Another useful template is {{under construction}} which I interpret as "Please think twice before proposing this for deletion, I'm still working on it though not this minute, other contributions welcome".

Your submission at Articles for creation: Christine Melanie Wilmot-Dear (February 13)

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

Thanks for creating this draft. More details are needed to show how she meets the notability criteria for someone to have a biographical article on 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Christine Melanie Wilmot-Dear and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Christine Melanie Wilmot-Dear, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.
