Currently I was rejected for an article I submitted on the Bio of Ceil Clayton who was a very well known Musician and Piano Player in the St Louis Region and other cities. I am looking over criteria and they only thing I can figure out of a rejection is that I need more references.. How do I show references if they are articles from newspapers and magazines that I only have clippings from?... Is there a place to scan them an upload so you can actually read the articles?

I have in possession her own handwritten tax records that shows all the places she performed over a 15 year period that she used for her own IRS taxes yearly

I have listed a few books she was mentioned in how do I show them?

She is in the MO state and St. Louis Hall of Fame Jazz singers/Players... Should I list that and how do I show it?

She has played over the years on Radio.. I have knowledge of it since there is newspaper articles on it but radio stations archives are sketchy ( I think they have no idea where the history archives are stored at)

She was part of the Gaslight Square scene in Saint Louis MO and they had specials on TV and the History Museum on Gaslight Sq. and she was on them

So what do I need to provide for your approval.

Thank you for your positive pro-active feedback

Much appreciated

Aloha! My first submission got declined, saying this subject already existed. I went to the link to the University of Hawaii at Manoa page, and didnʻt see the Library and Information Science Program listed there. I did see the library. I noticed there was a page for the UIUC Graduate School of Library and Information Science. /info/en/?search=UIUC_Graduate_School_of_Library_and_Information_Science

I was wondering if I could create something similar, where is it only about the LIS program, and not the entire University of Hawaii? I changed the article heading, to try and place more emphasis on the LIS program and not the University, since this may have been confusing. Iʻm new to this, but enjoying the experience so far. :)

Hi Poi ponder, I'm Glad you're enjoying editing. Wikipedia favors large, comprehensive articles. This means that information about particular parts of a University almost always belongs in the main university article, not in a stand alone article. See the essay Wikipedia:College and university article advice's section on faculties, academic colleges, and departments, and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which notes that except for law schools or medical schools, parts of universities are not inherently notable. Whether UIUC Graduate School of Library and Information Science is an exception to the rule, or an article that should be merged into University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign I can't say without studying it further. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality and low quality content. There are lots of bad examples out there that new articles should not be patterned after.

There's an entire WikiProject Universities dedicated to articles about universities. Their article guidelines, referenced above, may help you see how to incorporate some of what you've written into University of Hawaii at Manoa. You can also ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities or Talk:University of Hawaii at Manoa. I think the founder, date of founding, name change, and accreditation would be worthwhile things to mention. Leave out the vision, values, and mission. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 20:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi, could you tell me what I need to do to correct the article? Is it more references that I need? Thanks

Hi Kms49, It isn't the number of references that is the difficulty, but the type. To show notability as a creative professional, there must be significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of Sheehy. The cited sources are:

• one obscure book (held by just 4 libraries worldwide) with an unclear amount of content about Sheehy
• Sheehy's own website and other writings (not independent)
• Two self-published sources (not reliable)
• Outside In, a website for artists to publicize themselves (not independent)

Some editors might count the book towards notability, but none of the other sources count. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 00:37, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Hello,

I have been adding sources and other information to this page in preparation for resubmitting it.

I thought I had successfully uploaded a photo of the subject, Walter A. Scheiber, but now it isn't showing. I checked in Wikimedia uploaded files and it doesn't seem to be there. But when I tried to upload it again using the upload wizard, it required me to identify the article it will be part of. Then, when I wrote the name of the article, it said it doesn't exist.

This seems like a catch 22! Is it the case that I can't upload a photo until the article is published? If it is not the case, how do I upload the photo beforehand?

FYI, this is a free image.

Also, I want to upload a second image to appear in the body of the article. The one I am writing about is to be the main image, and I want it to go in the "infobox."

Thanks. Mirialova ( talk) 23:40, 11 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi Mirialova, Concentrate on getting the draft approved, something that isn't affected by the presence or absence of images.

From your description of the error message it sounds like you might have omitted "Draft:" from the name of the article where you planned to use the photo. There are also certain types of images that may not be added to drafts, but may be added to articles. The photo you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in January was deleted as explained here. Copyright law is insanely complicated. Time enough to tackle it if and when the draft becomes an article. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 01:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
