my first attempt at writing for wikipedia

I have started a stub at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zemedia/draft_article_on_Pierre_Clerget

This is an English language version of https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Clerget

This is my first attempt at writing for wikipedia, and I am still learning how to write correctly. There appear to be a huge number of detailed guidelines on wikipedia about writing for wikipedia, and I have found some aspects of it quite difficult - especially citing work correctly. I am still not sure if I have succeeded and would welcome some help with this.

Thanks, Zemedia (talk) 18:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jump Derry (February 14)

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

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:Jump Derry and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Please go to Draft:Jump Derry, 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The guideline this needs to meet is WP:NBOOK. These awards aren't major awards, so they don't help demonstrate notability, but maybe you can find some more newspaper/journal reviews? -- asilvering (talk) 03:04, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
