Minor revisions in Draft:Donald E. Frith edit

I made some revisions in Draft:Donald E. Frith -- just minor revisions which tidy it up a bit. You have made a good start at creating a Wikipedia article about Donald Frith, and I encourage you to continue. I agree with the reviewer about what is needed: references to coverage "in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The two refs now in the Draft are useful, but do not address the issues discussed in Wikipedia:Notability (people). I would be glad to help with improving this Draft, but I do not know enough about the subject to find these needed refs. The Draft is on my watchlist, so I will be alerted to any changes made in Draft:Donald E. Frith, and I will attempt to help. CWBoast (talk) 19:21, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Some ideas for next steps, in the Draft:Donald E. Frith draft edit

Marleyredd: Please don't be discouraged with the changes which have been made to the draft Draft:Donald E. Frith. If appropriate references can be found, there is no reason why this draft cannot, eventually, be turned into a Wikipedia article. I am fairly confident that the people (User:CommanderWaterford and User:Curb Safe Charmer) who have evaluated the draft are working in good faith to help you develop an article -- even if their actions may seem rather brutal, at first sight. Now that the latter person has removed material which (User:Curb Safe Charmer) regards as too close to an exact copy of possibly copyrighted material, I believe that the draft can be worked on -- with no danger of it being deleted. The key step is to find and insert references which support statements in a revised draft. If you would be comfortable using e-mail to communicate with me about how to improve the draft, I could send you an e-mail through the Wikipedia system (without revealing my e-mail address to the wider world). If you "create" a user page (titled User:Marleyredd) with at least one character of content, then I can go to your user page and click on "Email this user" to send you an e-mail -- which will give you my e-mail address. If you choose to reply to that e-mail, then I will learn your e-mail address. (And neither of us will have revealed our e-mail addresses to the wider world.) In order for this to work your e-mail address must be registered with Wikipedia, registered as the e-mail address of User:Marleyredd -- you may have already given you e-mail address when you set up the user name User:Marleyredd. I hope to write you an e-mail explaining further what I might be able to do to further the cause of "Draft:Donald E. Frith". CWBoast (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Marleyredd: I see two new things in Draft:Donald E. Frith -- (a) you added an idea which looks like it can lead to a reference (or maybe multiple references) and (2) you restored the AfC submission template at the end. I think that it is a good idea remove that template for now, until the article can be strengthened; I suspect that adding it now will result in another review (and rejection) of the article. In fact, I removed it myself -- to get it out of there quickly. I will write my thoughts about item (1) later. CWBoast (talk) 13:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Marleyredd: The other thing I see is that you created your user page, by putting a short statement about yourself there. That's a good step, but it seems that another step is needed if you want me to be able to write an e-mail to you: you may need to tell Wikipedia what your e-mail address is, or, you may need to change your e-mail preferences. (If you don't want to tell Wikipedia that, we can continue communicating here, on your "Talk" page.) I believe that if you click on "Preferences" at the top of the screen when you are signed in as "User:Marleyredd" you will find a section titled "Email options" within your "Preferences" page. I guess this is where I told Wikipedia my e-mail address (years ago) and where I can manage my e-mail preferences. CWBoast (talk) 14:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Donald E. Frith moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Donald E. Frith, 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.
