This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Shelley's Vegetarianism (March 31)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

The evidence does not show notability, much less justify this elaborate treatment. It could rather be added as a sentence or two to the article on the author.

I quick note, I'm sorry that you've had such an uphill battle so far. These are fantastically sourced and contextualized looks at these written works, and they are more welcome than your experience so far might indicate. The good news? You've far surpassed 10 edits and 4 days, so you technically don't need to submit through the Articles for creation process anymore. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC) Thank you.[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Odontocetes

Thank you for creating Reasons for not eating animal food.

User:Animalparty, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Nice start. I think the "Text comparison" is a bit too much primary source presentation for a general encyclopedia article, and perhaps could be simply transcribed to Wikisource.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Animalparty}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Figs or Pigs?, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 21:54, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

John E. B. Mayor

Have you ever come across a copy of John E. B. Mayor Plain Living and High Thinking?. It is apparently a collection of his vegetarian essays but I doubt hardly any copies were ever published. It's probably one of the rarest books out there. I have never been able to find it. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From the Dictionary of National Biography "He set forth his views on diet first in 'Modicus Cibi Medicus Sibi, or Nature her Own Physician' (1880); and subsequently in the selected addresses published in 'Plain Living and High Thinking' (1897)."
