Hi!

[edit]

It looks like you've put a lot of work into a family tree. It doesn't meet Wikipedia's guidelines though. Here's a reference: WP:ISNOT. To keep another editor from coming by and recommending it for speedy deletion, you may want to move it into your sandbox and use it as a guide to write individual articles about the people in the tree (if they meet WP:BIO guidelines. If you're related to anyone though, you may be considered to have a WP:COI which you'll need to disclose. The best place to start is with the Article Wizard, here: Wikipedia:Article wizard. If I can help, you can just add a message below mine and I'll see it. Orville1974 (talk) 00:17, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Woollett article

[edit]

It seems the best way to fix this is to break the article into two. One for the notable architect for whom the article is titled (1873-1953), and one for the artist/architect (1901-1988). The others already have articles or don't appear to reach WP:GNG standards. The genealogy site you're using as a reference, and the artist exhibition site probably won't be considered third-party sources, so if you have other references, I recommend using them. Once everythings written, you can create a WP:DAB (disambiguation) page to help direct readers to the correct article: William L. Woollett (architect) or William L Woollett (artist). Does that make sense? Either way, I still recommend you move this article to your sandbox as soon as you can to avoid a speedy delete until you have time to break it up into separate articles and include references that will meet Wikipedia standards.

Thank you for your suggestions. I thought I might have to break it into two articles. How do I move it back to the Sandbox?

I've created your user page and sandbox for you. You can find see your sandbox by clicking sandbox on the very top of your screen. The article itself is now safely located here: User:SoCalArchitect/sandbox/Woollett. You can split it up into pages, rewrite it, or whatever else. Once you're ready, you can push it to drafts for other editors to review. Here's some more help Wikipedia:Your first article on how to do it. Good luck and happy editing!

Can you take a look at the revisions I made? I would like to submit it for review and take it out of the Sandbox.SoCalArchitect (talk) 04:03, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've made some edits. You should now see a blue button at the top of the article you can use to submit your draft. In general, Woollett and Woollett designed some amazing buildings. The article doesn't make it clear to me if the article should be about him in particular, or the firm itself. Orville1974 (talk) 04:18, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see you pulled the trigger! Good luck. Your article is now in the draft space here: Draft:William_Lee_Woollett_(architect) Orville1974 (talk) 05:15, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lake Arrowhead, California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Taylor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

COI

[edit]

Hello! Do you have some kind of connection to the Southern California architecht Michael Burch? I ask because you claim to hold copyright on the picture used in his article. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
