User talk:JulieMay54

September 2016
Thank you for your recent contributions. But as you had created the page in what we call the "Article space", it was bound to get deleted. Your sandboxes should be maintained in your user pace and not in the article space. To that extent, I have moved the page you created to your user space. You can find it right here: User:JulieMay54/sandboxwaiting. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Lourdes 08:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Lourdes for your assistance. This is a draft article which I obviously put in the wrong place. Thanks for the assistance. Hopefully I can lose my training wheels soon. JulieMay54 (talk) 00:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks User:Legobot I am currently travelling and may not always have internet but will try to respond as promptly as possible. JulieMay54 (talk) 06:06, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry Julie May, but I have failed the Good Article nomination. I have left a detailed explanation at the review page. If you have any questions you can ask them here or at my talk page. If you want to ask someone for a second opinion of my review I will not mind. Please don't take my comments the wrong way, I do not think your article is bad - in fact it is better than most of the articles on here - I just don't think it currently meets the GA criteria. I hope my comments have been constructive and I wish you the best in taking this article further. AIR corn (talk) 07:25, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks User:Aircorn all useful feedback. I'm finding the GA process a valuable learning tool. I will look in detail when I'm not travelling. I found it difficult to find the right balance around the controversy so agree with what you're saying. JulieMay54 (talk) 10:02, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem. I used to be very involved in the GA process and agree it is great as a learning tool. You do get some variability with reviewers and I am probably a bit harder than some. If you need any help let me know and if I have time I will do what I can. AIR corn (talk) 21:18, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Sandbox use, and Anthony D. Holmes
Hallo Julie, I've come across your new article Anthony D. Holmes (Medical) while working on redirects at New page patrol. Thanks for creating it, but I saw a couple of problems.

Firstly: the article title: no need for disambiguation as he's the only "Anthony D. Holmes" in the encyclopedia. If he did need disambiguation, a noun is preferable to an adjective, and capital letters aren't used except for proper nouns - so "(surgeon)" would have been better. I've moved it to Anthony D. Holmes (and created an incoming redirect from Anthony David Holmes - important, as people are sometimes linked in other articles (eg lists of award winners) with their full name.

But Secondly: more complicated... using your sandbox to create article after article and moving them to main space produces an accidental effect of a long and irrelevant history for the article. I've done it myself once in the past and realised it doesn't work well. Looking at this I can now see that everything before 10 February 2018 is irrelevant, and confusing - it looks as if the article has been around since Jan 2016 and that you've done a huge proportion of the editing since then, which flags up WP:SPA/WP:COI worries at a quick glance. I don't know whether there's a way this can be retrospectively cleaned up - pinging because he knows about these things. In future it might be better to start an article as "JulieMay54/Anthony D. Holmes", ie create a subpage specific to the article, so that you can then move it into mainspace with no historical baggage. Alternatively, create an article in your sandbox but then use cut and paste to create it in mainspace - no worries about copyright, attribution etc, because it is all your own work, and the history of it being created incrementally by yourself isn't really significant and won't matter if it gets lost (would be preserved if you took the subpage route). Either way, the resulting article then has a clear and correct history.

Happy editing! Pam D  08:32, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I have moved those old irrelevant edits of Anthony D. Holmes, to User:JulieMay54/sandbox2. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:07, 16 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks - I knew you'd be able to fix it! Pam  D  09:10, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

and Thanks for the advice. Ive never been sure how to manage clearing my sandbox to begin again. I will try your suggestion of using subpages. JulieMay54 (talk)

A kitten for you!
Thanks for all the photos you are uploading. Many of our country areas don't have a lot of photos available on Commons, so keep up the good work!
