Ben Passmore moved to draftspace[edit]

It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the subject of Ben Passmore, and as such you should submit this article to be published through the Articles for Creation process. Before editing the article further, please first disclose on your user page and on the article's Talk page whether you have received money to write this or other articles on Wikipedia, or if you have any other kind of conflict of interest concerning the subject. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. Before submitting, you should make sure that the article is fully compliant with Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability policies, as well as our notability guidelines. When you’re ready, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. This process is encouraged, but optional. If you choose not to participate in it, you can remove the AfC template and move the article back to mainspace. You should also consider reaching out to the Teahouse for additional feedback and aid from experienced editors. signed, Rosguill talk 00:17, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed to Rosguill, This message is disheartening. I am a librarian of many years, but new to editing Wikipedia. My idea was to work on pages of cartoonists of color. I have read some Passmore's work and saw an opportunity to learn the ropes while creating this page. I have zero connection with him, and no strong desire for this particular article to published to Wikipedia, shall I delete the article to prove this? I wish Rosguill explained why "It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the subject of Ben Passmore." I put a lot of time and effort into the article and did a good amount of research, citing all my sources along the way. I looked over Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability policies, as well as notability guidelines and felt it compliant with all three. I will give it some time to see how I feel about this rather confusing setback before I decide if I will submit the article for review or just delete it and decide not to work on Wikipedia.

It was less the content of the article, and more your editing pattern of making exactly 10 edits followed by creating a biography of a living person, which is a dead ringer for paid editing. At this point, as you've denied any conflict of interest and I don't have any additional evidence that suggests you're lying, feel free to resubmit the article by clicking the button placed at the top of the page. signed, Rosguill talk 22:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red[edit]

Hi there, Spacecat711, and welcome to Women in Red. We're always happy to have librarians as members of the project, given the high standard of work they generally produce. On the basis of Ben Passmore, you seem to have a pretty good idea of how to present biographies but now that you are specifically interested in writing about women, you might find our Ten Simple Rules a useful guide. Have a look at our Redlist index for inspiration. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:33, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ipigott, Thank you for the welcome. I do have a draft that I would like for someone from Women in Red to review. Draft:Crystal Kewe. This is an astounding young technology professional from Papua New Guinea who, among other accolades and achievements, has won the Westpac Outstanding Women Award that I saw on your talk page. Thank you for any assistance you can provide! Spacecat711 (talk) 00:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Spacecat711[reply]

The presentation is fine but I'm not sure the article will meet acceptance criteria for notability. As you may have seen, there have already been discussions as to whether the award is significant enough. Nevertheless, as she seems to have enjoyed considerable press coverage and her business is doing well, I have moved the article to mainspace. Well done!--Ipigott (talk) 07:28, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ipigott, I created a draft article (stub) for the author Traci Chee. Draft:Traci_Chee. I prefer to have an experienced editor review my pages and post them to mainspace for me. Would you be willing to look it over and do this for me? Or direct me to someone else? Thank you. Spacecat711 09 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello Ipigott and Megalibrarygirl, I created a draft article (stub) for the author Wai Chim. Draft:Wai_Chim. I prefer to have an experienced editor review my pages and post them to mainspace for me. Would either of you be willing to look it over and do this for me? Or direct me to someone else? Thank you. Spacecat711 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Quick info on formatting[edit]

One more little item, as I understand it, User:Spacecat711. I appreciate the thank you on talk page for your Crystal Kewe draft . When you are on a talk page and responding to someone, you can put a colon in front of your response. (I went ahead and added one to your response on that page, if you want to go see it.) Two colons created a further indent. You can see an example of this on the first conversation on this talk page. Notice how the responses indent further and further? Each new commenter just added one more colon in front of text than did the person before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oughtta Be Otters (talk • contribs) 03:35, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!
