Ernest J. T. Martin moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ernest J. T. Martin, 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,
 * I've been trying to add citations. I have numerous references relating to Ernest J. T. Martin ready to cite, from the Claremont Courier newspaper (one from 12-12-09), but when I add the citation info and hit Generate, what is generated is not what I typed in, and not relevant to the text.
 * I have an article from the, that is all about William Knox Martin, who is the father of Ernest J. T. Martin, the artist I'm writing about. Same thing is happening - a completely unrelated citation is filled in that is not what I've typed, and not applicable to the article I'm doing.
 * I'd appreciate any help you can provide so I can handle this issue. I have old newspaper articles from France, with dates of Mr. Martin's exhibitions, bullfights, etc - not sure how to cite them.  Should I submit them as images?
 * Many thanks! Samcgowan599 (talk) 06:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Samcgowan599 (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Is it possible for me to hire you to repair the Ernest J. T. Martin Wiki page so it would be live tonight?
Hello Hughesdarren. Thank you for your interest and information above. I am having a difficult time because I would like to have this wiki page about Mr. Ernest Martin to be live in 4 more hours, and I am having a difficult time absorbing and understanding the process. I now get what is needed for citations, but do not see how I can add them in draft mode.

I found one citation for Ernest J. T. Martin's patent for an Uzi called The Uzi Cocking Bar, from the US patent office at this url: https://www.freepatentsonline.com/4827652.html, and I have other references to address the reliable independent sources concerns, for instance:


 * 1) an article in a magazine by the US Federal Aviation Administration titled Aviation News, July 1972, Famous Fliers, William Knox Martin, El Intrepido Aviator Americano page 12-13.
 * 2) An article about a painting of his in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Thursday, November 11, 2010 titled Veteran's Day Tribute, Red white, true blue, Artist roots deep in service by Diana Sholley on the front page of that newspaper, continued to page A4 inside the publication
 * 3) An article in the Claremont Courier (claremont-courier.com) titled "An intense man, shaped by a hunger for life" on the front page of the newspaper and continued on 2 more pages in that Saturday, 12-12-09 edition of the paper.
 * 4) A copy of Le Meridional Dimanche La France, 26 September 1954 about Ernest J. T. Martin's exposition at the Musee des Beaux-Arts, also front page of that paper with a photo of one of his paintings from that exhibit
 * 5) A newspaper article from Midi Libre, 11 Mars 1954 Via Le Mexique et L'espagne L'unique torero actuel nord-americain E. J. Martin set venu se fixer...a Nimes
 * 6) The actual hand signed letter from Director James Johnson Sweeney of the Guggenheim Museum in New York from April 3, 1956 to Mr. Ernest J. T. Martin requesting him to bring some of his work to the museum. And I have other additional articles in different French papers about Ernest J. T. Martin's art exhibits and bullfighting, a flier from a lecture series and art exhibition he did at Oxford, that I believe should satisfy the reliable, independent resources requirement. Is there any way you can help me by adding these references/citations so the page I wrote about Mr. Martin could be live tonight by 6 PM Pacific time?  There is an art exhibition opening tonight of his art work, and I was hoping to have this published by then.  His brother Knox Martin is a very established painter who passed away recently.  He was 99.  Ernest's daughter, America Martin also a fine artist, has her own Wiki page.  The gallery I am trying to assist is new, and this would help a lot.  Thank you.  i am looking forward to being able to help edit.

 * Hello Hughesdarren...Possibly another solution that would work - could you publish my article as it is for the next 4 days only, now that you've seen the citations I have currently above, and I will redo my article in these next four days? Would that be possible?  Please advise.  Thank you.
