Vera Felicidade de Almeida Campos moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Vera Felicidade de Almeida Campos, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:27, 23 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Responding to your question about me, the entry editor: I am not paid to develop this or any entry on wikipedia (I don't understand why you thought that ???); I know and study the work of the psychologist Vera Felicidade. I am the editor of the entry on Vera Felicidade Almeida Campos in Portuguese (Wikipedia.pt) which has been published since 2012. I saw that Vera Felicidade de Almeida Campos is on the list "Women in Red/Missing Articles in english" and from that I decided to do this English entry with changes to the article published on the Portuguese Wikipedia that were requested in 8 interventions (from Wikipedia's editors) during this week and that helped me to improve the final result. All demands were met and the article was accepted and published. I hope I have answered your question and I await the publication of the entry.

Read the instructions
In the infobox, for date of birth, it says. It probably isn't obvious to a new editor, but what this means is:
 * This is a comment to editors, not to readers (the " marks it out as a hidden comment
 * Then it means "enter the birth date using the birth date template"
 * And goes on to point out that the month, date, year, should be entered as 2, 2 and 4 digits respectively

So rather than typing "08, 18, 1942" (which, as I pointed out above, is not an acceptable date format in any circumstances - not least because 08, 10, 1942 could be read as a date in either August or October), you need to take away the "comment" markup and use the template, ie leaving it as , which displays as 8. .... Aaargh this isn't working. The birth date template info was wrong.

Going back into this (why am I wasting so much time on this article?), I see that the infobox was added in this edit, where you misunderstood how to input the birth date and added it beside the commented out version of the template. But at that point the template said. So you should have typed, which displays as August 18, 1942. At some point later you or another editor changed the instruction inside the comment, to make it wrong. I've had enough. Please take care with your edits, don't meddle with code you don't understand: ask questions if need be, but then listen to the answers and edit carefully. Goodbye.

 * Couldn't resist following up on this: it was in this edit that you changed the instruction in the infobox, but ignored it anyway. What a mess. I've fixed it.
 * And you don't use an infobox to add a photo to an article. I've fixed that.
 * The way to add a URL to an infobox was explained just as the way to add a birth date was, but as you didn't understand it I've fixed that, too: now you have a clickable link in the infobox, but without the "http://" either. Pam  D  19:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @PamD PamD Please receive my sincere apologies for the confusion with the date format, infobox etc. I am not just giving justification, but I was exhausted with a lot of work these days at my workplace and underestimated the importance of studying the formatting and coding of wikipedia articles. No excuses!
 * I mainly want to thank you for your edits on the Vera Felicidade de Almeida Campos article and for all the instructions you have given me since the first contact.
 * And finally, just today I looked at your UserPage and was impressed with the quantity and quality of your work on Wikipedia English! As a reader I thank you, and I admire those who, like you, work dilettantly for the democratization of culture. @Lidia Pita Lidia Pita (talk) 21:20, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There is a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey and I hope I've helped you along the way. Happy Editing! Pam  D  06:05, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @PamD You certainly helped a lot. Thanks and regards. From now on I await the final review and hope the article will be moved to mainspace. I came to this by looking at the Women in Red Project (Campos is on the psychologists list) which I think is an excellent project. @Lidia Pita Lidia Pita (talk) 10:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello, Tutwakhamoe, yes it is extremely frustrating to have the article rejected. I worked very hard to make this article good for publication on Wikipedia, I had help from about 8 senior editors who generously dialogued and collaborated with me 4 months ago and approved this result (content and form) and since this date we were waiting for the final approval. But worse than being frustrating for me is the fact that the information about the author's work will not be available in English language on Wikipedia. Dr. Vera Felicidade de Almeida Campos has a great influence on psychology in Brazil, there is a subject at the University, in the psychology department, which bears her name in the title, for example, and the initiative to make an entry in Wikipedia English was in Wikipedia itself: she is on the Women in Red Project list and it was when I saw her name on this list that I decided to do the article. It is a pity that the article will not be published! Lidia Pita (talk) 01:24, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I too have some of the articles that I spent considerable time creating got draftified by other editors, so I can understand your feeling right now. But any review need to abide by the established rules, and at this point the draft is too reliant on self-published materials. Please understand that even if I have accepted the draft then, without fixing the issue the article would have been tagged for improvement or even nominated for deletion by other editors. Sources don't need to be in English, reviewers can use Google Translate to review citations in other languages. Since the subject is an expert, her works can be cited under WP:RSSELF, but an article where about 3/4 of the citations are self-published is not really appropriate.

 * @Tutwakhamoe I will follow your suggestion, thank you. Lidia Pita (talk) 10:40, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
