Colin William Wyatt

Hello, ToadetteEdit. You have new messages at User1's talk page.

Hello. The template tells me to click 'new section' but I do not see a tab 'new section'. I replied to your message on my talk page. I did not realise I had to alert you here to the fact I had done so. I would be grateful for clarification and further advice. Also you or another has changed the title of this draft submission from Colin William fforde Wyatt to Colin William Wyatt. Is this to identify the second draft submission? Because this would be an incorrect title for a final version. I would prefer to use the simple "Colin Wyatt". I only began with the subject's full name because of another Colin Wyatt. Thank you.

Hi @IonaFyne! The article was moved per policy on article titles, that articles on subjects should be titled based on commonly recognizable names documented by reliable sources. As for the decline, if it is because it is "not adequately supported by reliable sources", then I found some passages unsourced. If the decline was about notability, I would advise you to read the notability guideline, especially those on people. If you are referring to I only began with the subject's full name because of another Colin Wyatt, then I suggest that it would be disambiguated. Hope that helps!

Thank you again for your reply (17 May). Your help is much appreciated.

I redrafted and submitted my article based on reading Wikipedia guidance articles and Wikipedia entries in order to understand and follow Wikipedia requirements.

On 7 May, I asked if I might have further assistance relating to the decline of the submission as "not adequately supported by reliable sources". This was because I am struggling to understand when it is permissible to refer to writings by the subject and when it is not permissible. May I have clarification on this, please?

I had provided references to articles by the subject in entomology journals and in alpine journals but then removed them because I was told that it is not permissible to reference articles written by the subject.

But, for example, Wikipedia has allowed such references for its entry on Chris Bonington:

Bonington, Chris (1988). "Menlungtse Attempt". American Alpine Journal. 30 (62). New York, NY USA: American Alpine Club: 275–278. ISBN 0-930410-33-5.

^ Bonington, Chris (1989). "Menlungtse Western Summit". American Alpine Journal. 31 (63). New York, NY USA: American Alpine Club: 284–286. ISBN 0-930410-39-4.

I had put in references to magazine articles by the subject because I had a message that sources had to be cited.

But, for example, Wikipedia, for Robert Macfarlane (writer), allows this general paragraph with NO sources cited:

"He has also published many reportage and travel essays in magazines, especially Granta and Archipelago, as well as numerous introductory essays to reissues of lost and neglected classics of landscape and nature writing from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, notably J. A. Baker (The Peregrine) and Nan Shepherd (The Living Mountain and In The Cairngorms)."

Once again, I really do appreciate your help with this. IonaFyne (talk) 14:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Please see my message of 21 May. I am sorry - I forgot to end it with the four tildes.

I notice that these tildes do not show in the preview of this message. But they are here - once with the brackets and once without the brackets.

Good afternoon, I've had an alert letting me know that there is a comment to my last question. When I click on this, I cannot see a comment, and it looks as if I may have sent my question from user1, and I do not understand why this has happened. Your response to my question would be very valuable to me. IonaFyne (talk) 13:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Nederlandse Leeuw, why you won't even nominate List of battles by geographic location per WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN and WP:UNSOURCED? Toadette^Edit! 23:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
