Hi Joyous, the addition I made about Hallervorden was documented in a radio piece that was broadcast by BBC. I was the reporter who interviewed him. Sapotilex (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapotilex - on the file's talk page you posted a "Contested deletion" stating that it should not be deleted "because it is a credible biographical profile of an internationally recognized author and teacher." To which @Pigsonthewing responded: "That may be so, but we do not accept articles in PDF format. You should paste the content into a Draft article."

See Wikipedia:Drafts on how to create a draft article. — ERcheck (talk) 13:26, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As written just now, I converted the draft to plain text, uploaded it and tried to sandbox it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Eli_Jaxon-Bear

but now I get a message that the file doesn't exist. Sapotilex (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapotilex - I find it -- Draft:Eli Jaxon-Bear. As it came from "text", you will need to work the citations into Wikipedia formats - see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Also, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style. — ERcheck (talk) 15:33, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you get a review when you submit it to the AfC project. I've added the submission template, it has a blue 'submit' button, just click that when you're ready. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:12, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Sapotilex (talk) 14:13, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:REFB for advice on referencing using the preferred method of dynamic inline citations and footnotes. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:13, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing the submit button though. Sapotilex (talk) 14:13, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a blue rectangular button in the bottom right corner of the large grey box titled "Draft article not currently submitted for review." -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:15, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Perhaps we're on different pages -- I see nothing that fits your description. Sapotilex (talk) 14:17, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may be looking at a cached copy of the page, if you refresh your browser it might help. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that helped. I'd uploaded the draft in plain text, but can't eliminate the blank spaces between reference listings as they appear on other wiki pages. Sapotilex (talk) 14:20, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Must step out now but submitted the draft as is and look forward to feedback. Thanks for your help. Sapotilex (talk) 14:23, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you change the referencing to the preferred method, per my previous comment, the footnotes become much smaller.

The main reason for doing so is that the referencing becomes dynamic, meaning that it stays always up to date even when you add or remove content or move sections of it around. With your current manual method, every time something changes, the citations need to be renumbered and/or the footnotes rearranged. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

>If you change the referencing to the preferred method, per my previous comment, the footnotes become much smaller.< Not sure how to do that but will revisit this evening. Sapotilex (talk) 14:33, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eli Jaxon-Bear (September 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by RangersRus 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 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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Eli Jaxon-Bear and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, 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.
