02:36:24, 24 April 2017 review of draft by Jkim713

[edit]


This is my first submission to Wikipedia and I am trying to fix my reference list. How do I use a reference multiple times in my content. The last line in the my submission references 4 earlier cited remarks but when I cited it, the reference list created whole new lines, that is my list of 10 references became a list of 20 references..how do I fix it?

Hello, J. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. I think you're looking to use the "named reference" technique. You can learn about it at WP:REFNAME. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:48, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have writing an entry on Margaret Manion. I have received this message "This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page. (April 2017)" I have tried to write a lead section. Would you please let me know how to make it better conform with the requirements.

Reply to Pergameno - While this is not generally the place for questions about accepted pages, and is instead a venue for questions regarding pages not yet accepted, there is some easy advice I can provide. A proper lead generally covers all the major aspects of the page in general. Your current lead does not appear to cover all her positions or major publications, if appropriate. A few more sentences should do it. Then ask on the talk page if other editors (especially the person who posted the tag) is/are comfortable with removing the improvement banner. If you do not hear back, you can take that as a yes, and if you do, then re-engage. Hope this helps! Isingness (talk) 03:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello K6Ka, I respectfully requested that the present photograph of myself be removed and I will provide a more accurate Official Air Force Photograph. The present photo appears to have been "edited" or photo shopped....I will be pleased to provide an Official Photograph upon removal of the present One. Thank You, Christopher S. Adams, Jr, Major General, USAF (Ret)

14:22:12, 24 April 2017 review of submission by Marc Daum

I noticed the article « Bijoux Burma » was declined. I understand i have to rewrite the article to appear to read more than an entry in an encyclopedia. So i will. But also: do you think my article has enough references and sources to establish its notability ? Only two of them i mentioned, are written in english and independent. The other one are in french (for example a thesis from La sorbonne University) or coming from Bijoux Burma official Website. Should i add more? May I add 10 others including articles in Vogue and Paris-Match.They’re not written in english but in french. If so, how long could be the article ? Thanks a lot for your precious help.

Reply - While the quality of the references you have used will be reviewed by the person who decides whether or not to accept the page, and I do not want to step on their toes, I would definitely state that you do not have enough references for the content you have written--because not everything has been cited. If you cite everything, you will stand a better chance for acceptance, if the subject matter is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Isingness (talk) 02:33, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

May the following articles, while not suitable for coverage in the page itself as not specifically about CollectPlus, not provide requisite evidence of notability for CollectPlus, as per the guidelines? [1] This article references CollectPlus as a key rival to Royal Mail amid its plans to develop its click-and-collect offering. [2] Similarly this article references CollectPlus as a rival that Tesco is seeking to match with development of its click-and-collect offering. [3] this article discusses the best and worst parcel firms in research conducted by MoneySavingExpert, again referencing CollectPlus with significance.

The following are published articles discussing research conducted by CollectPlus: [4] [5] [6] Again, hopefully they show notability but were not included in the original submission as they are not directly about the company.

I hope this demonstrate notability of CollectPlus, but if there anything further I can do, please let me know. CollectPlus is the returns service for a number of known brands such as Amazon, John Lewis and Asos, and announcements in national press can be provided as citations as well if necessary.

Thank-you for your consideration. If none of these are considered sufficient for notability and the article submission remains rejected, I will wait for more notable coverage to be obtained before considering again.

Thank-you.

Hello, CR. Thank your for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the great delay in response. Later today, I'll leave some comments on the Talk page of your draft, and will notify you when I do that. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:22, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
