Talk:Edith Farmiloe

Latest comment: 4 years ago by David notMD in topic Good stub article

I have published a wiki page on the children's author, Edith Farmiloe, which I would like someone to review.Adelphi14 (talk) 13:15, 14 October 2018 (UTC) I have also put in a link to Franklin Thomas Grant Richards, her publisher. I've had one draft page for him taken down as it infringed copyright so I have done another one and will rewrite the text if that's OK.Adelphi14 (talk) 13:15, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Good stub article

edit

Adelphi14 Although Theroadislong did a drive-by drop WP:REFB on your draftpage without properly taking the time to point out which reference they had concerns with ... what they neglected to point out is that you have created a very good stub article on Farmiloe. A subject who has very little online content to draw sources from and cite within a WP article. The references that you do have cited were the only ones I could find online, too. I commend you for having gleaned what you did to create the article you have. The sticklers here at WP would ask God for a reliable source if He were to ever say in an article: "I created Heaven and earth ...", I'm afraid. Honestly, I would not wait for someone to review this article. I would remove the resources that are questionable; move them to a new section: Notes or External links, and simply place a "citation needed" tag on questionable content. Let other editors contribute. After all, this is WP - a community encyclopedia. Your article is good for a subject who is notable but has very little written about them. This is a good start; but should not be penalized because it does not answer all the questions that certain editors here at WP will always have no matter what the source or content.

If it were submitted I would be more than happy to accept it. Theroadislong (talk) 20:48, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Removed two refs that had no apparent connection to the text of the article, replaced one with a valid ref, and put two others in a proper ref format. David notMD (talk) 02:43, 3 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
