edit Unable to review
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.
- The citation style predominantly used by the Tom Linebarger article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
- Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)
In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Tom Linebarger article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:
In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review. |
Kindly write a new edit request, taking care to ensure that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that new edit request below this reply post at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor.
Notes
- ^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.

- Hello @FebKate:, thank you for submitting this edit request. I have decided to decline your request at present as many of the statements you wish to be added appear to be aimed at promoting the subject. We may be able to add more information about Linebarger's education if a source that is independent of any company Linebarger has connections with can be found, but we will not be able to add the information about Linebarger's actions at the companies he works for or his social justice initiatives. I hope you understand this. Thank you, Redtree21 (talk) 08:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
