De' Anyers family moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to De' Anyers family. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Peter Daniell, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see MOS:DRAFTNOLINK. Renewal6 (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Peter Daniell. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:29, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the guidance. Is there a way based on the manual of style to have some link to it or do you have to wait until the draft is in the article space ? thanks Starktoncollosal (talk) 16:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi there. Yes, you have to wait till the draft is reviewed and moved to article/main space before linking can happen. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Since you asked for advice: I will admit this isn't my strongest point in history, but I'll look and see if I find something. In the meantime, the suggestions you got at the AfD are good ones; find some sources that discuss the subject in depth, then add them into the article and point them out in the discussion. If you have any issues with formatting references let me know, even if you have good sources it can be a gigantic pain to insert them.

thank you, I thought that references 1-6, 11,13 and 14 were the more in depth ones (particularly the actual biography on the family) .. and then several of the others are actually primary sources (witten at the time) from archives. I think and maybe you could let me know your thoughts on this , that it may be a case of wording in the article itself which makes it sound 'tangenital' and slighlty disconnnected.
I think in text addressing of the sources were in it at an early point but may have been removed :/ vauge memory of someone doing it. Starktoncollosal (talk) 19:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
