Autobiography

I see from your userpage draft that you are writing the page as an autobiography. I would suggest that you read the advice at WP:Autobiography. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:05, 27 January 2019 (UTC) Well observed, David Biddulph, and many thanks for the advice. I am aware that Wikipedia strongly discourages ego-trip autobiographies, and rightly so. I also note that biographies of some of my former colleagues such as George Taber and John Barron have been published, apparently with no problem. I can only leave it to the editors to decide whether my journalist and writing career can be considered "notable."Wordcobbler (talk) 17:34, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Wordcobbler[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joseph Harriss (April 17)

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

The majority of sources are writing by Harriss. You need to find some independent reliable sources focusing on Harriss himself. The UPI and episcopalarchives.org sources are not enough on their own.

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:Joseph Harriss 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:Joseph Harriss, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" 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, 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The last review called for independent reliable sources and none have been added since. Quotes have been provided that are limply attributed to serious publications, but there are no actual citations other than the name of the publication. If you can show where these quotes come from then they may likely support notability.
