Welcome ChurroCat!

Hello ChurroCat. 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 {{Help me}} 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!

Hi @Greenman I will leave this comment on the Talk page for Jane Fine, but I've added a reference to nearly every sentence, so I think that the page should be ready to be checked again (by you or any other qualified editor). ChurroCat (talk) 14:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jane Fine (July 15)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

way too many primary sources here.

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.

Hi! Can you clarify about "way too many primary sources"? I believe that this is the opposite, given that I have added references to nearly every sentence (as I was instructed by a previous editor) from secondary sources.

The artist is notable. She is one of a few female artists to have won an individual NEA grant, she is represented by a number of collections, and was an integral part of the Williamsburg art scene from the 1980s onwards. ChurroCat (talk) 14:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong Can you advise on which primary sources were "too many"? ChurroCat (talk) 14:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have used [1] 12 times for example and there are other instances of profile pages which are primary. Theroadislong (talk) 14:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please wiki link the museums so it is clear that they are notable. Theroadislong (talk) 14:30, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll do that, too, if that helps make a case for their notability. 71.249.54.92 (talk) 14:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll change that. 71.249.54.92 (talk) 14:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Would you be able to tell me which sources are unreliable? I purposely used sources from JSTOR and Google Books when possible. Many of the websites are art magazines and journals, too. Please let me know and I can revise. Thanks! ChurroCat (talk) 17:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Also the text was correct: 'If you are here just to castigated me (I know there shouldn't be "d", so it's a mistake; fix it yourself), please don't come here. Find anywhere... They are meant to pass a message, and obviously not a grammatical error. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 18:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry! I honestly thought you were encouraging people to edit it given that you wrote "it's a mistake; fix it yourself." ChurroCat (talk) 18:54, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
