Help me!
Please help me with... Hi there, and thanks in advance for your help!

I registered as a user about a year ago, and have created an article (still in draft pile) and edited several pages of interest to me.

However, my user name is still not recognised. I don't know why and, since it does not stop me doing things, not sure its a problem. That said, would like to be properly recognised!

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

 * Hi David, I'm not too sure as to what you mean by your username being recognized, are you able to elaborate on that? (Please  in your response) — IVORK Talk 23:45, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to assume that you are confused about why your username appears as a red link. That happens when you have not created a user page. Creating a user page is entirely optional and one thing some people do is redirect it to their user talk page. If you click on the red link, you'll have a chance to create the page or redirect, whichever you want. Or you can leave it as a red link, no worries.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 02:00, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi there.

Would be weepingly grateful for any advice on how to progress from draft to published! The article, which I first submitted on 29 October, 2020, is Draft:Jan Owen (social entrepreneur).

Thanking you in advance! Davidetalg2 (talk) 01:53, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You've submitted your draft for review - that's the next step towards getting your draft published as an article - but it may take a while. Meanwhile, you can continue to improve the draft. One thing to improve it is to try to find secondary reliable sources to replace the many primary sources that you have used. Wikipedia actually prefers secondary sources rather than primary sources. Having too many primary sources in your article makes it look like you are trying to force notability through your own original research rather than through finding the sort of reporting that does help establish notability.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 03:29, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I fixed the citation style and removed the maintenance template. GoingBatty (talk) 04:08, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Jan Owen
When I read it through, I felt like some of the terms used to describe his charitable adventures seemed slightly less than neutral and unnecessary, which was the main reason why I declined it. Noah!💬 18:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
