Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 17)

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Wikipedia is not Facebook.

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 User:Olusola D, Ayibiowu/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

I apologise for the reviewer's dismissive and unhelpful comment above. However, I have to point out that "the creation of autobiographies is strongly discouraged" as explained here. Your attempt to publish the sandbox article shows that you have barely begun to learn about creating articles that will be accepted here. If you wish to create an article I recommend that you choose a topic unrelated to yourself or your work and follow the process laid out here. You asked elsewhere for advice about referencing. This page may give you a start. References quoted should relate directly to the topic of the article and should say something significant about the topic - not just a passing mention. If you have further questions, I can recommend the Teahouse which focuses on helping new editors: Noyster (talk), 18:05, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Use of multiple usernames

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello Olusola D, Ayibiowu. You appear to be using different usernames - this one and Olusola David, Ayibiowu. I have to point out that it is against our username policy to use more than one username. Doing this makes it difficult to identify the totality of contributions made by an editor, and makes it uncertain whether messages posted to a user's talk page will be seen. I have posted a similar message to the other talk page and would urge you to choose one of the two usernames and edit under that only. Thank you: Noyster (talk), 15:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
