I am asking for a second opinion on the acceptance of the page of Colin Guillarmou, a French mathematician. The draft was rejected because it contained too many citations to subject's own works. However, this is common in a mathematician's page. Compare this entry, for instance, to the one of the following mathematicians:
Guido De Philippis,
Vincent Pilloni,
Fanny Kassel,
Serge Cantat, etc. The fact that we refer to a mathematician's accomplishments by quoting its publications is normal. What gives credit to them is the fact that the publications appeared in prestigious journals. For a mathematician, the very top journals are:
Acta Mathematica,
Annals of Mathematics,
Inventiones Mathematicae,
Journal of the American Mathematical Society,
Duke Mathematical Journal. The caliber of these journals correspond to the one of, say,
Nature (journal) for a natural scientist. If you check the Wikipedia page of the other mathematicians that I mentioned, you will see that they all cite the person's best papers.

Well, if the pattern of a mathematician's Wikipedia page should be similar to those of Cantor, Kepler, or Noether, you may as well go ahead and remove the Wikipedia pages of 99% of contemporary scientists, as well as those of 99% percent of the statesmen (say, those whose patterns fall below the ones of Julius Caesar and Napoleon). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.56.218 ( talk) 06:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Whenever I try to edit the information about Zafar Sareshwala, it gets changed. my edited details are removed and the page goes back to its previous form. please help me to improve the details about Zafar Sareshwala.
After having added pictures to three important wooden mosques (some on UNESCO lists) in Turkey and having received "thanks" messages from another user for doing so I noticed that, though mentioned several times in articles, there was no information in the English Wikipedia on a mosque in Afyon(karahisar) that is important too. I thought I'd be useful in supplying some pictures and what information I had in my first article in the WIkipedia. I now am informed the information lacks a source.
Though I know several languages my Turkish is poor. But I checked the Turkish Wikipedia and found information about this mosque that roughly corresponds with what I wrote, though Google translate corrupted some parts. A first question is: might I use that as a reference? What worries me is that the three sources mentioned as reference in that article all link to the WaybackMachine. I find that very many articles nowadays about Turkey end up there, probably because the English Wikipedia is blocked in Turkey.
I found a picture I took in 2012 of a notice at the mosque itself, undoubtedly put there by (or accepted by) local authorities. In English it provides the information I used in my article. I might put a jpg of that picture in the gallery I put in. Might that be a reference, and be sufficient?
I also find the information confirmed in several travel guides that I own and use, how valid as sources would you consider those? I mentioned a Dutch translation of a Knaurs book, I find the same information in a Dumont "Reisefüher" in German, as well as on several tourist sites on the web. One I found (in Turkish) seems to be by the government (gv in the address: https://www.kulturportali.gov.tr/turkiye/afyonkarahisar/gezilecekyer/ulu-camii839501 ) Might that be a valid source?
Sorry for asking many questions, I try and write a good article, but Turksih sources that are dependable are hard to find. Dosseman ( talk) 13:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for a speedy answer. Could you confirm you read this, my answer, as I do not understand the Talk-system quite yet?
When writing "Travel guide books" I meant "published travel guide" books. I have contributed to several over the years and know how thorough their proof-reading and checking of sources generally is. As for history of muslim buildings, I'd not be too trusting. For certain periods the source may be just one traveller who visited a town and wrote a book about his travels, or such. Or a stone above the entrance. Because of earthquakes and resulting fires many archives were lost. And there also is the problem of differing calendars and resulting errors.

Any suggestions for resubmitting this? If I can gather more notable sources is that sufficient?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
