Emceeaich, good luck, and have fun. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:08, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, TonyBallioni, I'm a little salty from how the original page on Dr. Strickland was handled, but I appreciate the welcome. --Emceeaich (talk) 00:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

No problem. I was mad too; it’s how I found the draft. Also, see my talk for a reply about hist merging from Primefac and myself. FWIW, the history is preserved in the redirect and making it a redirect actually means it has little to no chance of ever being deleted, versus a stale draft which is deleted after 6 months.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gender in John Varley's Works (December 12)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gender in John Varley's Works and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Please elaborate on why you are dismissing the sources. This is proposed as an addition to an existing article.Emceeaich (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Emceeaich! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! AlphaCore talk 12:40, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

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 Ayodele Nzinga, 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. radioactOlive_(she/it)(talk) 21:14, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

I had to go searching in sub-pages of the Manual of Style to find the rule, which you did not mention in your note here, governing how professional titles and degrees are handled. Linking to that instead of a passive aggressive template would have been more helpful and would do more to encourage me to continue contributing. Emceeaich (talk) 23:28, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Apologies - I watch the recent changes page and use a couple of automated tools to revert changes/leave templated messages. Most of the templates include an ending encouraging asking me about why I reverted the change, and I'm not sure why this one doesn't. However, these tools and templates are rather necessary given the amount of vandalism Wikipedia gets - I'm sorry it turned out to be discouraging in this case. I'd have been happy to point to MOS:DOC if you hadn't clearly already found it. radioactOlive_(she/it)(talk) 02:17, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Gender in John Varley's Works
