Hattie Hansen (MBE)^[2] is a plumber and entrepenuer; CEO of the Stopcocks Women Plumbers franchise for women in the plumbing trade^[3]. She has become a spokesperson for minorities working in UK trades and construction encouraging women who aren't widely represented already to flourish in the industry.

Career After growing up in North East London and completing a Psycology Degree Hansen worked as a teacher in inner-city schools for eight years. She enroled on a plumbing course as a self employed apprentice. After practising as a plumber for 15 years she founded Stopcocks as a means of promoting and enabling female plumbers. Women currently make up around 3% of the construction workforce and 1% of plumbers so the Stopcocks network provides support to self employed women and training for those getting established in the trade.

Hansen authored 'The Joy of Plumbing: A Guide to Living the Life You Really, Really Want'^[4] published in 2011 and is regularly featured in the national media and as an event speaker.

Hattie Hansen was named in the 2020 New Year Honours list as MBE for supporting and promoting women in the plumbing and heating industries.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hattie Hasan (April 15)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 and 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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hattie Hasan 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:Hattie Hasan, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

I have updated the article and it has now been accepted. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 01:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Picture error[edit]

Your addition to this article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybuses_in_South_Shields

of what is admittedly a most atmospheric picture of a tramcar is not especially helpful. It would be much more appropriate here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Shields_Corporation_Tramways

86.130.154.26 (talk) 22:12, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand the distinction between a 'trolleybus' and 'tramcar'.  Please feel free to put a copy on the page you proposed.
