Hi Rich! Thank you so much for the info. I would like to include the artists statement in the wiki page because it is important to understanding the artists work. If I use an inline citation can I keep that info? CrissCollab ( talk) 13:49, 17 June 2024 (UTC) reply

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

My previous concern remains unfixed and many of the sources appears to be affiliated to the subject, or is the subject talking, making it non-independent. Not all external links in the body are removed, and the wording is still promotional. Also for some of the citation is hard to understand like ebo Gallery: Contemporary Fine Art & Original Prints, DeAnn L. Prosia, About the Artist, Millwood, New York. Is this a website, a book, a sign, or something else?

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:DeAnn L. Prosia and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Sorry for the terse comments. I was rushing to write it down. Good luck on finding better sources and improving the draft! I noticed that you marked all of the images in the article as "own work" I have marked some of them for speedy deletion over at Wikimedia Commons. Please verify that those images were taken by you. Ca ^{talk to me!} 15:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you! And no worries. You can probably tell I'm a newbie. I didn't delete all of the external links because I thought some were important, but I understand if it is just not something you are supposed to do in wiki. Printmaking is a niche field, so I wanted to make the connections to certain organizations and people who are important to printmaking's history - they just don't have wiki pages (at least not yet!).

As for the citations, I will review the articles previously sent. Yes, some sources are websites, others in-person lectures, and videos...Again, I'll review CrissCollab ( talk) 16:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC) reply
