Talk:Brian E. Kinsella

Meritorious Public Service medal Award recipients
Hi Everyone,

I have just published an article for review (Current prediction: B-Class), about Brian E. Kinsella, former U.S. Army Captain.

I am covering his life prior to, during, and after service, and am including notable efforts within volunteering to various assignments and initiatives, mostly within the realm of reducing the number of solider suicide in the U.S.

I am also trying to highlight his efforts during the August, 2021 evacuation crisis in Afghanistan.

I am hoping to advance an assessment for approval of my draft, and am meeting CLASS-B requirements, and believe I have well-sourced citations.

If you have time, please post any feedback on what I might do to improve my chances of expediting the very long back-log.

This is hopefully my first attempt of writing biographies I research on people I find worthy of mentioning for their efforts to improve lives for others.

Thank you so much for your time.

Best,

Updated draft
Hi everyone,

I’ve updated the draft to address these two bullets I left on there after Johannes’ latest comments:

• Ref 2 is a press release

• Ref 9 doesn't discuss the draft's subject

--Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 15:37, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Here’s my thoughts on this (Mwikiforce):

Ref 2 the military press release is here to verify Brian E. Kinsella DID receive the medal. No other admissible article refs are available.

Ref 9 - I left in, because it proves that the nonprofit Brian E. Kinsella was the CEO of, did have an initiative called The Black Box.

Happy to remove if not needed. Any feedback is valuable, so thank you in advance for your time.

 * Ref 9 is now ref 12. Mwikiforce (talk) 17:17, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Keep going!
Hi @Mwikiforce, thanks for reaching out by email. I'll reply here if that's ok.

I think you're doing a good job here at addressing the reviewers' concerns. Sharing your list of references here on the talk page might be a good idea. Although a couple of the references used previously were problematic, it's worth remembering they are just two references from a bigger list - my opinion is you're doing enough here to demonstrate that the subject is notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopaedia, and the article is well written. I'm not a reviewer though so ultimately it's for them to decide. WaggersTALK  09:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi WaggersTALK,
 * Thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking the time to read my email and respond. I truly appreciate the feedback! It's SO helpful, and uplifting (to keep going!) :-) Great idea about publishing the list of references. I have attached it here.
 * Best,
 * Mwikiforce
