User talk:Rainydays27

Looks good so far! Couple of general points from yesterday. Some more training guides (pdf) are available and on the Dashboard here. Thanks for joining us yesterday! Stinglehammer (talk) 16:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) The lede opening sentence of any new article needs to establish very clearly why this person (or topic) is notable/remarkable/significant/important for inclusion on Wikipedia. The Manual of Style WP:MOS has guidance for writing a good opening sentence which summarises/contextualises the person but equally you can view other biography articles on Wikipedia similar to your article to see how they have opened.
 * 2) Citations should back up every statement (place after full stop) or at least every paragraph.
 * 3) Headings are only capitalised on the first word only. You can check other articles for typical article headings used in biographies or visit Wikipedia's Manual of Style WP:MOS.
 * 4) If we can add 50-100 words and 3 or 4 (or more) references from reliable published secondary sources (more is always better for establishing wider notability) then we have something we can publish. For help publishing you can email me at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk or view our website page here.

Shirley Townend moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Shirley Townend, 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.

 * Hi — just to explain, when I was reviewing this article, I couldn't find any 'claim to fame' or indication of notability (see WP:N), and was first going to propose deletion. However, I noticed that you're a fairly new editor — and welcome, BTW! :) — so I thought I'd draftify this instead, to give you more time to work on it. Hope that helps, and if you have any questions or comments, ping me. Best, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Shirley Townend
Hello, Rainydays27. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Shirley Townend, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
