 * I nominated your draft for deletion because it's a copy of kordestan.irib.ir. Furthermore, your draft had no independent reliable sources. You have to make a claim to notability. Assuming English isn't your first language, try writing in Persian-language Wikipedia first. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi - thanks again, Fiddle Faddle for your encouraging words. I am slowly working through the biography and have found what I THINK are valid and reliable secondary sources. I THINK (but am not sure)that I have done the citations properly. However, I also acknowledge that there is a way (yet to be discovered by me) to to add superscripts to a reference that I use more than once. So, for example, I have used the same reference three times, and each appears with a different number in my reference list, instead of, for example, 2 a b c etc. I don't know if this is the correct place for me to ask someone to check just the first 10 or so citations/references, and to let me know whether these are acceptable sources. Part of the problem, however, is that most are not available online, which makes it difficult for you to confirm!

Please note that I have nowhere near completed the biography and there are errors in it. thank you helen Helen7274 (talk) 06:04, 2 October 2014 (UTC) Helen7274 (talk) 06:04, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello Helen. In general we would consider a published magazine or newspaper to be a reliable source. However, particularly as these are offline sources, it is often useful to provide rather more detail than you have. For example regarding the Blue Mountains Gazette, you could provide the title of the article concerned. Even more so, a reference that only says "The North Shore Advocate, 1983" is not really sufficient for someone to identify and find the source even if they wanted to. Is there an issue number or an author or an article title?


 * For using the same reference more than once for different statements, please take a look at Named references. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:30, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

The HuffPost Live Conversations page was submitted (and rejected) twice. I tried to correct the issues with the post the first time, by adding more references and information, but it was still rejected. Is there a reason why? Also, is there anything I can add to get it accepted? Thanks!
