Hello, Evadeluge, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Dorothy Hewett, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

So I have tried offline first - sent an email, as for the whole articles for creation process, they are well intentioned, but you will find things that might be nuanced problematically. There are quite a lot of suggestions that i would make if you are a 'new user', but short of revealing connections with the subject, I will wait and see. If it (discussion etc) remains on wiki - the character list in the draft is well beyond what WP:NOT and WP:ABOUT try to deal with - who said so? The presumption on the writer of wikipedia articles is that bulky sections of assertions as such are in actual fact verifiable with Wp:CITE and WP:RS - as it stands it is WP:OR. JarrahTree 02:42, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
The statistical chance that there is any cognisance of the issue or the context understood is very low...
actually needs a separate article
- the actual number of people 'watching' and keeping up with things can be very low JarrahTree 02:47, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
Another thing non australian editors havent a clue about is Trove - https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/34377456?keyword=hewett%20this%20old%20man - what that might have can be useful
What is very useful (but also at times very frustrating...) is the purpose built wikipedia citation
as I have put into your draft - but it doesnt date the access, and offers only the isbn....
there might be a preference that you have for the style - but remember WP:MOS usually
has a good guideline if you ever flummoxed by wikipedia idiosyncracies
linking new fortune theatre - directly to the uwa article is a problem - no one has got around to have a reasonable history of the octagon/new fortune/dolphin theatres - although a better link might be University_of_Western_Australia#Arts_and_cultural_facilities the text smells like PR spirit... JarrahTree 03:09, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
and see the shenanigans around earlier things, and glad I wasnt around - one has to abide WP:AGF and its related entourage, I would have probably burst a boiler over some of the things there... JarrahTree 07:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

PK650 ( talk) 09:26, 27 April 2022 (UTC)Hello, Evadeluge,
Thank you for creating Bobbin Up.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Thanks for the article! I've marked as this as reviewed. However, there are a couple of issues. Firstly, upon reviewing quickly, I saw numerous grammatical issues I corrected, so I've added a copy edit tag. Secondly, I've seen the talk page message and concur that writing a synopsis for a collection of short stories is difficult. However, please have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction- as the guideline is 400-700 words, the current version, at 1300 words, is unfortunately overlong. Third, please also have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section- unfortunately, the current lead section fails to summarise the background and history or criticism sections. Also, I'm not too fond of the block quotes in the criticism section, have a look at Wikipedia:Copyediting reception sections; it is an essay, but generally, block quotes in reception sections need to be reworded/paraphrased. Still, thanks for the article and well done!
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|VickKiang}}

Hi VickKiang I managed to cut it back from 2000 to 1400, would have to adopt a new structure to go much lower.
This business about 400-700 words seem to be more honoured on the breach. Take a look at Faulkner's "Sanctuary", (1500 words) Ulysses (2000 words) War and Peace (3000 words). Maybe I will put a sticker on those!
Ill give it some thought

Excellent! I had no idea that one could access all these databases after 500 edits. You have no idea what a performance I have had to go through to access some of them - viz do a grad Diploma just to get student status at a university library.. Evadeluge ( talk) 04:06, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
