Welcome Wikibaker!

Hello Wikibaker. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Ania Malinowska moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ania Malinowska, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent and secondary sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. bonadea contributions talk 08:29, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources are primary. The "Biography" section is entirely unsourced (where does the information about her date of birth or where she grew up come from, for instance?), and it looks like the section "Cultural criticism" almost entirely cites her own publications – the Pearce citation might be a review, but there is not enough information in the citation to let the reader know where it's from. Listing an author's most important works is usually relevant, but using them as sources is only appropriate for basic facts such as year of publication. The section also reads like an attempt to promote her work; it is the kind of text that would be appropriate in a presentation of a keynote speaker at a conference, or an author bio in a book, but nt in an encyclopedia article.

Have a look at this information about the notability and sourcing criteria for articles about living people, and these criteria for academics. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 09:38, 31 January 2022 (UTC) Many thanks for the guidance, bonadea - I'll work to make the modifications that you've suggested. The vast majority of the biography information was obtained from Malinowska's academic publication, "Data Dating" cited in the article. I'll work to identify additional independent sources, and once I have it shaped up I'll resubmit it accordingly. Wikibaker (talk) 05:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft of Ania Malinowska

Thanks, Wikibaker, for your work on this biography. As you can see, it is not easy for new contributors to write about people they consider to be highly notable. The main problem is that most of your references are to what we refer to as primary sources, that is sources that are directly related to the subject. To establish the notability of the subject of a biography, Wikipedia relies first and foremost on secondary, independent sources such as coverage of their achievements by other authors in newspapers, journals and published books, as well as reports of award ceremonies, and in the case of published writers, critical assessments of their works. You can find more advice in the Essays listed on WikiProject Women in Red, in particular our Ten Simple Rules. If you intend to continue writing biographies of women, I would encourage you to join the project by registering at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. In any case, please let me know if you have been able to follow up on my suggestions. I would be happy to offer advice on an updated version of the article and let you know whether I think it is ready to be accepted as a Wikipedia article. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ipigott FANTASTIC. I will absoLUTELY take you up on your offer of advising my updated article that I will be crafting, and I will also register with the Women in Red Project as you suggest.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, and thank you in advance for providing counsel on the revised version of my article that will be forthcoming. Wikibaker (talk) 03:10, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Full citations

Hi @Wikibaker: How goes it? I see your using a lot of bare urls which are destructive. Please take a look at WP:REFB which is a small tutorial on how to create full citations. Bare urls are effectively useless and don't last. Full citations are better. scope_creep^Talk 08:21, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep Fantastic. I'll make those tweaks accordingly. Any other suggestions for me to be able to get my article published? I've heard that Wikipedia is focused on featuring more women in the sciences, so I would think my article would be helpful in that regard. Wikibaker (talk) 09:31, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She is definently notable, it just needs more high quality book review references. Give me a ping when your've completed the references update and added book review refs. scope_creep^Talk 13:52, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Thank you so much for your help and for explaining my error. I really do appreciate your expertise a great deal, and see that you were kind enough to make edits to my recent contribution on the Phil Hendrie article. Just for clarification - is the current version of the article good to go or are there additional edits that you would recommend that I make? Thanks again. @Wikibaker Wikibaker (talk) 03:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell the current version is okay from a copyright point of view. — Diannaa (talk) 12:32, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
