Question

Do Wikipedia pros monitor this and answer questions? Snapperdoctor Snapperdoctor (talk) 18:20, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi doc. No, we don't monitor all user talk pages for changes, but you can utilize the template {{help me}}, and somebody will be with you. Mind you, it can often take an hour or more. You are guaranteed quicker feedback at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Happy editing, Sam Sailor 20:34, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

October 2018

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Bob Stanford, from its old location at User:Snapperdoctor/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sam Sailor 20:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bob Stanford (October 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 Sam Sailor 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Totally unsourced. If you have a stack of URLs I'll help you with formatting.

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:Bob Stanford 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:Bob Stanford, 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 need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft article, Draft:Bob Stanford

Hello, Snapperdoctor. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bob Stanford".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 20:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
