I saw that you had joined IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help to ask about his draft. I have a few suggestions, but I can't claim that these issues are the only ones holding up acceptance.

You have a few external links in your body text such as the one for Israel Efros. If you cannot link to Wikipedia articles, these should be left as plain text.

The introductory section of an article is supposed to be a summary of sourced material from the body of the article and, as such does not need its own footnotes. You've supplied a summary statement about an important aspect of Kaplan's career; given it a footnote that I can't easily evaluate, though I do see that Kalmin's article cites Kaplan's monograph. Down below, you have a paragraph under 'Work' that expands somewhat on the summary statement, but reads more as your own editorial conclusions rather than as a set of statements supported by the additional articles that you cite, as a lump, at the end. Perhaps you could parse that out better? It should not read as if you, the humble Wikipedia editor, writing in Wikipedia's voice, express the judgment about what is consensus among scholars. It's also a sign of problems when you pile three or more footnotes onto a single sentence.

The notability criteria that should be considered for Kaplan are probably those at WP:NSCHOLAR, since we would not expect to find general press coverage to support the more common sort of notability. It could be that you can only find enough sources to support the notability of his monograph, but not Kaplan himself. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:26, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

This was very helpful. Thank you! Iaroszler1 (talk) 03:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Minor edits

It looks like you've been marking some of your edits as 'minor' but they do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for minor edits. Minor edits are marked that way because they should be of zero concern to anyone: obvious spelling and typo corrections, cleaning up things that do not change the appearance of a page, ordering an alphabetical list so it is in alphabetical order.... Adding a citation is never going to be a minor edit.

Misuse of the flag has made it nearly completely useless and my advice to new editors is that they never set the minor edit flag. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
