Katherine Hoover
A page in your userspace isn't allowed to be filed in any mainspace categories at all. It doesn't matter if they're "duplicates" or not — the page simply is not allowed to be filed in categories at all as long as it remains in your userspace. Categories are permitted to appear on the page in disabled form, so that they display as text links to the category but do not directly file the page in the category — but if a page in your personal user sandbox is actually appearing in a category as an entry, then that category has to be either disabled or removed, because sandbox pages are not allowed to be filed in mainspace categories. Bearcat (talk) 15:27, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No. The current list of categories on the page are already disabled, which means they're not a problem. However, if and when you do move the page back into articlespace, then you'll need to take out the colon in front of the word "Category" in each category link so that the page will actually become filed in the appropriate categories — but as of right now, since they're already disabled you don't need to do anything else to them.

KylieTastic (talk) 20:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey
Sorry, you came on the help chat when I was dealing with my cats.

The problem with your work on the Katherine Hoover draft is that we already have an article on her. You're welcome to integrate your content into that. DS (talk) 02:55, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Major problem
If the only source for the information is "I went and talked to Hoover's family and this is what they told me, nobody else has this information, it's not been published anywhere," then we can't use it.

Wikipedia can never be the first place the information is published. This is per our general prohibition on original research.

I'm sure you're telling the truth, but it's the general principle. If we allowed "I talked to this person's family after they died, trust me, this is what they told me, I have no reason to lie"... well, people would abuse that. Because humans are terrible. DS (talk) 06:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Why continue editing?
You have been told that Katherine Hoover exists, so why continue editing Draft:Katherine Hoover? Instead, copy/paste content you have into the existing article. Do NOT include interview information. Do NOT include any mention of her unpublished writings (her desk papers). Also, as you clearly have been in direct contact with the family, that constitutes a conflict of interest. The nature of your connection should be described on your User page. David notMD (talk) 09:47, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Do not submit your draft
You have been advised that an article about KH exists. Thus, do not submit your much longer draft to AfC. Instead, merge your content into the existing article. This can involve deleting content from the existing article if you are of the opinion that your references are better. Earlier, you were advised to declare a conflict of interest on your User page, as there is evidence that you have been in personal contact with KH family or others as part of your researching the topic. ( "I went and talked to Hoover's family and this is what they told me.") Do not neglect this declaration. David notMD (talk) 08:12, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Your not submitting your draft is appreciated. See Reliable sources for some guidance. "Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a doctorate, and which are publicly available (most via interlibrary loan or from Proquest), can be used but care should be exercised, as they are often, in part, primary sources. Some of them will have gone through a process of academic peer reviewing, of varying levels of rigor, but some will not. If possible, use theses that have been cited in the literature; supervised by recognized specialists in the field; or reviewed by independent parties. Dissertations in progress have not been vetted and are not regarded as published and are thus not reliable sources as a rule. Some theses are later published in the form of scholarly monographs or peer reviewed articles, and, if available, these are usually preferable to the original thesis as sources. Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence." David notMD (talk) 10:16, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~ S Philbrick  (Talk)  18:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Please forgive my reply to the wrong location. You will see a new topic Katherine Hoover.
 * Also, if you compare the current list of known compositions within her main article, Each of our compositions is fully cited and there are no copyright violations. For example, If you review the ways to improve a composer's article to increase its grade you will see that they would like to see the duration of the work, how many minutes it takes to play, added. That additional information can be found in the various citations. Other things that they like to see added is inspirations for the art, premier performance info, famous musicians who've performed the music.
 * I truly hope I can fix this. Any advice is welcome. Thanks, AJ, AjAirFlex (talk) 19:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I responded elsewhere. S Philbrick  (Talk)  00:22, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
