Symeon Shimin moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Symeon Shimin, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I went back through and made more citations months ago on this. The artist the page is on is no longer living and the family asked me if I would help Them create this page. I’ve addressed the image deletion issues as well. Can it be republished? MaddAnna (talk) 19:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi, I have gone through and added more citations, could you check it out and let me know if we need more? it's really hard to find things that reference Mr. Shimin outside of the book his daughter wrote on him and the website that is its companion. but I hav gone through and tried to add more to each section to get this so it can be published. MaddAnna (talk) 22:47, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

I don’t understand this at all. The article was written by his daughter and she asked me to help with the submission process. We reviewed a ton of other artists before hand and I feel strongly that this style matches other articles in Wikipedia. Why can articles on something like The Rolling Stones be full of misinformation but this one which is accurate not be approved? This is one of the most frustrating processes of all time.

Draft:Symeon Shimin
Hi How goes it? I started working on the article after I reviewed it. It isn't the fact that it is nonfactual, it was the layout that was the problem. All articles on here must follow WP:MOS, the Manual of Style, broadly speaking. All article types must have the same layout. This article didn't have that. I've started to pull it together. If you fancy giving me a hand, I need some more references. There are whole sections that don't have references. I've been putting the references you created back into the article. If you give me a shout, I can tell you what is needed. Everything from Mid Career/Maturity 1936- 1972 onwards, needs ref'd. At the moment, it has about a 20% of staying, as I can't locate the stuff myself. I will work on it today, and tomorrow and I see how it looks, but if its unsourced, no editoer will give it passing review.
 * Good work. I thought you'd left. I'll start working on it again this weekend.   scope_creep Talk  09:23, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey thanks. I left you a message in your talk page. I would love help with this. I feel someone Shimin is an important artist and it would be nice for this page to get published. You mentioned references. How can I help? Are there specific places that you think need them. Some would be the same firings as already referenced but I’m sure I can find some more.

Good work. I thought you'd left. I'll start working on it again this weekend.  scope_creep Talk  09:23, 4 June 2021 (UTC

thanks let me know if you need more. I tried to fill in as much as I could  That is it now published. Solid work. A bit smaller than it looked originally, but a decent article nevertheless. Please thank editor user:Possibly for pulling it together at the end and publishing it.  scope_creep Talk  10:20, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for working on this for me, and getting it published, super stoked on that. is it possible for me to go in and put the images in that we uploaded into the commons for this project? we've already done all the permissions for use on wiki. also, was it cut down because of references? MaddAnna (talk) 02:37, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * How goes it? Good to see you back. Yip, you can put images in, if they are public domain. It was cut down because a lot of it wasn't referenced, it wouldn't have been allowed through with that much unrefed. It is a much better article for now. To be honest, I'd forgotten about it. Thankfully, it was rescued by Possibly. It can now be expanded if you find suitable references. There is still references needed. You will see the Citation needed template. Everyone of them needs a reference. If you have a lot of images, then can perhaps be put in a gallery. Here is an example of a decent gallery: Similarity system of triangles. You need to mess about with the width and heights to get them to fit, but its only five minutes work.     scope_creep Talk  08:53, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * i've started the gallery to give you idea an idea of looks like. Hope that help.   scope_creep Talk  09:21, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey thanks so much for your help. I'm wondering why in his bio image where it has born and died it doesn't have the dates for those? is there someway I can add those in? MaddAnna (talk) 20:01, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In the Infobox, there is two properties, birth_date and death_date that have two templates that are uncommented out. Uncomment these and fill them in. It is worth adding as much information as possible to the infobox. It is good for readers who use mobiles (the majority) and want a quick glance to see who he is.   scope_creep Talk  08:20, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
