User talk:Mizpat

Hello. I am experienced in editing/copyediting and in WordPress website building, but I am new to Wikipedia article creation, so I am using the Visual Editor and I have some questions.

FYI: I am creating this article as a favor for a former professor and friend, Refugio I Rochin, which I have disclosed.

FYI: I don't really understand the purpose or workings of the Talk page or the User page for my account.

Q1: I clicked the link Submit your draft for review! and I see it in the page called Category: AfC submissions by date/13 June 2019, but the warning box titled "Draft article not currently submitted for review" is still there. How and when does that warning box go away?

Q2: In the References section is a warning message in red: "Check date values in: |date= (help)." I skimmed the Help page but can't tell what's wrong with the date in the reference. It's similar to all other dates in all other references in the list. Can you identify the problem and how to fix it?

Q3: How and where do I find comments/edits/questions by other WP editors on this article? I've signed up for email notifications and the article is on my Watchlist, but is there anywhere else I can check? Will they show up on this Talk page?

Thank you, Mizpat (talk) 16:21, 14 June 2019 (UTC)Mizpat

Help me!
Please help me with... the latest notice posted on Talk: Refugio I Rochin Talk:Refugio I Rochin about the article adhering to the policy on biographies on living persons. There is no other information, such as what specifically might be "contentious" or "libelous," because I see nothing in the article, which I wrote for a friend (fully disclosed from early on), that might be considered "contentious" or "libelous." I was very careful in my wording and documentation to remain neutral. I am a novice on Wikipedia and, based on this difficult, mysterious experience, will likely never return as a contributor in any form.

Please advise, and be specific, so I can address any possible "contentious" or "libelous" content.

 * That's just a reminder about the relevant policies; it does not indicate that the article currently has those problems. Huon (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. If only it said as much. I'm tired of Wikipedia after just one article, as a favor to a friend. Never again! Mizpat (talk) 04:58, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
