We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Punctuation goes before the ref, not after. And all of your refs need proper format. David notMD (talk) 01:49, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the info! I believe I have addressed the citation formatting errors and hope the page looks correct now Joshmac81 (talk) 01:50, 18 March 2020 (UTC)Joshmac81
 * Remember to put the PAID info on your User page ASAP.
 * I cleaned it up a bit more. You need to fix the referencing. Cannot use his own LinkedIn. Here is an example of how to convert a http to a ref: REF REPAIR A tip - consider copying a section with refs into your sandbox, fix the refs there, make sure they look good, then paste the section back into the article. That way, the article history is not filled with ref fix edits.

David notMD, I really appreciate your help with this... I did remove the info related strictly to the LinkedIn bio (and that reference)… Thank you! ~Joshmac81

Paid and refs
You have yet to declare your paid situation on your User page, and seven of the nine refs are naked URLs. Fixing the first is mandatory, the second is necessary. David notMD (talk) 10:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

@David notMD Thank you; I've declared on my User page the paid situation relating to this article and enhanced all cited URLs on that page with author/biographical information and context.

Hi, this is Joshmac81... I went back in and removed anything that appeared to me to be unessential personal details, peacock words, etc. I hope the latest revisions address everything that was mentioned here. This is my first Wikipedia page so please bear with me and thank you for your patience and help! I'm trying and learning a lot from this valuable feedback :-)

Hello,

I have added another citation from CoinTelevision interviewing John Highfill about his book series and career. I hope this is sufficient for validating his noteworthiness in the numismatic community.

Your draft article, Draft:John Highfill


Hello, Joshmac81. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "John Highfill".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 21:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Draft:John_Highfill Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by Timtrent were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: It is time to put the creating editor out of their misery. This draft will not be accepted. The references are impossibly poor and this is despite being worked on. Notability cannot be created by magic. I have reviewed this before, but 13 months ago.
