User talk:Nj1948/sandbox

Dear Star,

Added an introduction, postscript and conclusion to the article The Gallery 1973-78

Can you kindly review the additional entries in my sandbox. Appreciate your assistance in formatting inserts of citations/references in the correct format for resubmission to Wikipedia editorial, to avoid further rejection of the article.

Thanks Nj1948


 * Hi . I think you're understandably a little confused about the process. You're not submitting this as a standlone article as it is not suitable for the encyclopedia, but rather you can make an edit request for some of the information on the article's talk page. I will work on this when I have time, but you can use this process to request the attention of another editor. That link tells you exactly how to do so, including the format. If you're going to use this space, I will delete User:Nj1948/sandbox/The Gallery (1973-78)? but the conversation should really be in one place.  Star   Mississippi  18:04, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star

Read this thank you

The aim would be a stand alone article. What is the other option to an article in Wikipedia?

Am I better opening the content to another editor to assist its formatting for resubmission

Nj1948


 * I'll be honest,, I don't think this is going to be a standalone article. Most galleries have one article and this one doesn't seem to be any different. The content may (or may not) be incorporated into the existing, live article. You are certainly welcome to get another opinion by submitting it to WP:AFC as you did as my opinion is just that and is in no way binding. Star   Mississippi  21:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star

You're right, my message was confused. I have been adding content, images and references intended to expand the existing article, The Gallery 1973-78, not to request a new standalone article.

So go ahead and delete the sandbox and I'll format the citations. Can you kindly send an example of how to do this according to Wikipedia requirements

Thanks Nj1948


 * This should help, Nj1948: Help:Referencing for beginners Star   Mississippi  13:34, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star Thanks for this, read through and will apply citation inline

Were you going to close the sandbox and open the files to vexations or others towork on the additional entries? Nj1948


 * Yes, and any other editor is able to access this and edit it.  Star   Mississippi  17:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Star Organising number sequence for notes and references then try inserting citations Nj1948

The Gallery 1973.78
Dear Wikipedia

I have deleted additional entries to the article from my sandbox

Editor Eagleash rejected my resubmission immediately indicating unreliable sources

All citations given were from reliable sources? Booths, journals and newspapers

I do not think Eagleash has taken sufficient time to examine the subject If an editor with more specialist knowledge is offered I may consider re submitting the data a third time for serious evaluation

Nj1948 Nj1948 (talk) 14:34, 6 September 2021 (UTC) mis-spell in the above message - books not both


 * please stop re-submitting this as a standalone article. It will not be approved as that, which you have been told on several occasions. You are not following the guidelines, and Eagleash was correct in their decline. The material might' be incorporated into the existing article, but not as you have it here. Courtesy and also  whose assistance you had requested elsewhere. It would be helpful if you kept the discussion in one place and indented your replies  Star   Mississippi  23:23, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the ping . FWIW, this was the draft that I declined. At that point it contained only 2 malformatted citations and did not resemble a Wikipedia entry, which is why the creator was referred to WP:YFA, the manual of style and other advice given. After that, NJ blanked their sandbox and I have had no involvement with the page since and am not sure what has happened subsequently. Eagleash (talk) 03:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star,

Thank you for your attention

The texts and images were submitted as d as additional entries designed to expand the article The Gallery 1973-78, they were not submitted as a stand alone article.

The citations were sourced from reliable sources: books, journals, newspapers and the web.

If there were errors in the structure of the additional entries a simple bulleted list of what is acceptable in expanded entries to Wikipedia will be sufficient to correct the format.

 * You need to make an edit request at Talk:The Gallery (1973-78) not submit a sandbox. Theroadislong (talk) 08:10, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * , to expand on what said-the reason these are declined is because you are not following procedure and you did in fact submit this as a standalone. For anyone trying to follow, the rest of the conversation is at Talk:The Gallery (1973-78). NJ, an edit request would be succinct, and one or two facts or notable pieces of the gallery's history. Not the entirety of your sandbox in one go. It's just too much for any editor to review.  Star   Mississippi  13:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star,

Received and understood.

If I prepare a radically clipped edit along the lines you suggest, do I place this in my sandbox for review, and images - one or more? + If I title this 'Additional entries' will this identify as not a standalone submission.

Nj1948


 * Hi . No, the sandbox is where you work on it. When you have the piece(s) of content ready that you want to add, copy them to Talk:The Gallery (1973-78) and follow the steps and templates here: Edit_requests. Please focus on the most important pieces of the gallery's history that are well-sourced to reliable, independent, published sources. Would you like me to unblank your sandbox so you don't have to start from scratch? Star   Mississippi  13:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes please in blank

Thank you Nj1948 Nj1948 (talk) 14:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Here you go User:Nj1948/sandbox. Star   Mississippi  14:05, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star

I have a revised version of additional entries in my sandbox if you can take a look

Please advise again the next step to copy and paste to the article for editors evaluation

Thanks Nj1948 Nj1948 (talk) 09:01, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

please read the instructions above from and I about how to proceed with an edit request. Star  Mississippi  13:30, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks doing so Nj1948 Nj1948 (talk) 13:43, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You will need to make the suggested edits line by line together with a reliable source for each fact, if you submit the changes en masse there is virtually no chance of them being implemented. Theroadislong (talk) 17:47, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Star,

As I have written to editor Theroadislong; having read the instructions to Request Edit I find them too complex to handle. I have therefore decided to withdraw my additional entries to the article The Gallery 1973-78. Can you therefore kindly delete my sandbox and the misplaced entries in the Talk section.

Thanks Nj1948


 * Thank you for this update, . I will do so now. If you change your mind in the future, just let us know. Star   Mississippi  13:11, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Ma my thanks for this
