Your submission at Articles for creation: Carol Wilder (November 6)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Her notability has not been properly demonstrated by this draft as written. You do not demonstrate a person as notable by making things named in the article body offlink to their own self-published websites about themselves -- you demonstrate her as notable by showing that she has received reliable source coverage about the things she's done, such as media coverage or analysis of her work in other people's books.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Carol Wilder and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Carol Wilder, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Please help me with: I did not register with an email and I forgot my password. Now I can only access to my account through this computer that I have to return soon. How can I retrieve my password? Thank you!

HelloNYC (talk) 20:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC) HelloNYC[reply]

You can't "retrieve" your old password, exactly, but what you can do is change it to something else while you're still logged in. At the top right of your page, where you've got your username-talk-sandbox-watchlist links, click on "preferences" — and on your front preferences page, you'll have a "change password" button. Click on that and follow the process there, and of course make sure to either pick a new password you'll actually remember, or write it down somewhere secure where you won't lose it (e.g. a secure file on your phone). Hope that helps! Bearcat (talk) 21:06, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, don't forget to wipe your user data from the computer before you return it, so that whoever uses it next can't break into your Wikipedia account. Bearcat (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I should have specified that while this site doesn't offer a way to retrieve your old password from here, it may be retrievable from the password manager inside your browser as well. You should probably still change it before you give the computer back for security's sake, of course, but make sure that you tell the computer not to save the new password.

Please help me with...

Hi Wikipedia community, I have edited my article on Carol Wilder more than a week ago and I haven't heard any feedback from the community yet. Can somebody help me understand the process or if my article updates have been reviewed?

Thank you so much!

The draft hasn't been submitted for another review; there is a "Resubmit" button in the "Submission declined" messagebox that you can use. That said, I don't think the draft currently establishes that Wilder meets Wikipedia's standards of notability; to me few of the references look like reliable sources that are independent of her.

After deleted, another page is created with Simple English[edit]

Hi all,

I have created a page and then it is deleted [[ but somehow its info is put into a page with similar name, only that it come under "simple English": [[1]]

Can someone please help me understand this?

Hi HelloNYC. The article on Simple English Wikipedia was created by you. Here's the article history there. It looks like you had ended up on Simple, perhaps thinking it was the regular English Wikipedia? Voceditenore (talk) 11:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
