  • It is common for draft biographies to require disambiguation. The reviewers cannot expect new or inexperienced editors to understand how disambiguation is done. You're welcome. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:42, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Carolyn Taylor, What Now, 1990s.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:00, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! ArleneHerman (talk) 10:15, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ArleneHerman, I've moved a lot of text between sub-sections – especially in the "Career" section – so it reads in chronological order. I also removed some redundant text. I noticed some of the text is referenced with self-published sources produced by the article's subject, which you should be careful with; see here. Good luck with the article and cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:28, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! @Baffle gab1978! ArleneHerman (talk) 10:15, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ArleneHerman,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Death of the Dickason children for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Death of the Dickason children to be deleted, you can , but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

An article you recently created, Mateo Metcalfe, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

• Hi @Liz. This was an accident. It needs to be removed. It's for the Spanish wikipedia which it's done in full now. English version is Matthew Metcalfe. I added a note to get it removed. Thank you. --ArleneHerman (talk) 04:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ArleneHerman. I have made some minor changes to the Luke Bird article, including adding an automatic infobox (it takes its information from Wikidata. See:D:Q121991348).

At present, this article is "stranded", with only one other "normal" article containing a link back to Luke Bird. You can see the incoming links by going to the article and finding the "What links here" option under Tools on the left hand menu. Ideally, some additions would be made to other WP articles where it would be relevant to mention Luke Bird, so that it has more chance of being viewed. (However, I see that on a Google search, the article already appears in the top 6 hits). Marshelec (talk) 21:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see the changed you have made! Thanking you so much for helping with this. I was wanting to create an Early life etc. but I wasn't able to find many sources about his early life. Just that he was born and raised in Whangarei. Also didn't want to take too much off some agency website I found as this would be quite a strong primary source. Thank you again for your help!

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ARandomName123 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:

Most sources are merely passing mentions, and provide no significant coverage.

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 after they have been resolved.

Thanks for adding more sources - I think unfortunately though, they're still not enough as they tend to be talking about Linehan in the context of Bill and Ben and not in his own right, so they're not really enough to determine his individual notability.
