Article on George Bernard Shaw
I would be grateful for editorial help with an addition to the Early Years section of the George Bernard Shaw article.
My name is A.M. (Tony) Gibbs. I am an Emeritus Professor of English at Macquarie University and a well known Shaw scholar. I have written and edited seven well-acclaimed books on his life and work. My book, Bernard Shaw: A Life (University Press of Florida, 2005) is the most recent full-scale biography of Shaw, and was described by Stanley Weintraub in the Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies as "the most authoritative yet and likely to remain so for some time". This description was endorsed by Brad Kent in his Oxford Bibliography article on Shaw and by other commentators.
I would like to add a final sentence to the first paragraph of the Early years section of the Shaw article, following the words "shabby-genteel poverty." The additional sentence is:
Different perspectives on the characters of Shaw’s parents, their marriage and financial situation, are presented by Shaw scholar and biographer A.M Gibbs.
The citations for this new sentence are:
A.M. Gibbs, Bernard Shaw: A Life (Gainesville, University Press of Florida,2005), pp.19-36.
A.M. Gibbs,“The Slaying of His Da and Other Recurrent Problems in Shavian Biography”, SHAW: The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies, vol 39, No.2, 2019, pp. 243-54.
I am having difficulty with the methodology of adding new matter to the Wikipedia articles, and I would be very grateful for assistance with this.
Kind regards,
Tony Gibbs

- Hi, Mevlut Bin Omar, a quick glance at the sources tells me (a) he might be notable enough for an article, but (b) many of the sources are in languages I am not able to read. I suggest getting assistance from an editor better able to work on such topics. Perhaps Styyx can? LadyofShalott 18:53, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Mevlut Bin Omar and LadyofShalott. I've looked at the sources and I think the article of Daily Sabah [3] pretty much includes all of the information and is in English. As you may have noticed most of the other sources include the keyword kim/kimdir. Those are about who he is, general information about him (Birth- year/place etc.). Most sources talk about the same thing. These are the "definately reliable" sources: [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Im not good enough to decide if a person is notable enough to be worth of an article, but I would give it a go. To sum it up: there are some reliable sources but these are about the exact same thing. If you read the article of Daily Sabah you know almost everything. ~Styyx Hi! ^-^ 08:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

- The problem is that I don't read Arabic or Turkish, and so while at a mere glance, it seems reasonable, I am not able to do a real evaluation. That requires looking at sources. I can do some minor cleanup and copyediting for English and Wikipedia style, but I am not able to say more. I would advise that you go through the sources you have and expand the article, using each source to give maybe a two or three references for each fact, rather than twenty one a single sentence. That will improve the article, as well as increase the value of each reference. LadyofShalott 18:01, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Assistance with an Article for Creation
Hello LadyofShalott!
First of all, my name is Calvin, and I am currently working on my first ever Article for Creation! I come to your talk page to ask for assistance with said AfC, and I found your user page by reading the list of active administrators on Wikipedia! I also read through your user page and you seem to be a very thoughtful and helpful editor. I am here to ask for help with the article for Kurt Kerns (Draft:Kurt Kerns).
The Article for Creation has hit numerous blocks for not passing notability guidelines, and just today the editor that Rejected the draft told me that he was not convinced, and I should try to ask another editor for their opinion. I would love for you to take a look at the page if you have time and let me know what you think! If you look at the draft's talk page, you can see the dialogue I had with the other editor about the AfC meeting the WP:AUTHOR guidelines, and his reasoning for Rejecting. After leaving Gravity Kills, Kerns has gone on to become a notable architect, so I am interested in what you think of that perspective.
Any assistance would be much appreciated, and I look forward to receiving your input. Thank you!
