Representation of Black Women in Film moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Representation of Black Women in Film, 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. ... discospinster talk 01:03, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Waddles 🗩 🖉 03:18, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your draft

edit

I moved your draft to your sandbox. It's now at User:KyleiMontgomery/Representation of Black women in film. Please be sure to add inline references to your article before moving it to mainspace. Please get in touch if you need assistance. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:41, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Instead of creating a new article, I think you should work on expanding the Representation of African-American women section of the Representation of African Americans in media article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:44, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
When you're working in sandboxes, you can only use images that are available under a free license. Images like File:Annalise Keating HTGAWM.jpg and File:TylerPerrysAcrimonyTeaserPoster.jpg are non-free images that are being used on Wikipedia subject to specific non-free image criteria (you can have a look at the guidelines around this used on this page). One of the conditions is that you don't use them anywhere outside of mainspace. They were helpfully removed from your sandbox by Marchjuly for this reason and shouldn't be added back.
In addition, if you do choose to use non-free images once you have moved your content live, you will need to add a specific justification to the image pages. Please let me know if you plan to do this, and I can help you with this. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:03, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
