00:18:21, 1 October 2016 review of submission by HunterK23
I just want to know why my sources are unreliable. The page is about an author who is published and the references are links to reviews of his book. Do I need more?(If so, I have them). Or, are the references not valuable enough? I, as of right now, think they are, as Kirkus and Huffingtonpost & are both valid sources( both on your wikipedia website) known for their notability. To make matters clear, it is about an upcoming author with 1 published book and a second one coming. Maybe only 1 book is not enough to warrant a page? Thank you HunterK23 (talk) 00:18, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The draft in question is Draft:Ian Thornton. The question is not whether the sources are reliable or unreliable, but whether there are enough sources.  Also, although the reviewer didn't note that the sources are not in the form of footnotes, that is a problem, especially for a biography of a living person.

I have created one article about a school in sand box. The review i got is "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources." Then i added school and some website references under the reference heading. And i have also added the link for some important words in my article. My question: Is that my article is correct now?

 * Your article submission lacks inline citations. Please se WP:IC for more. Additional citations are also recommended. Happy editing!  JTP ( talk • contribs) 19:41, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You have provided three references, none of them in-line, but two of them are to the school's own web site. Establishing notability normally requires at least two sources that are independent of the subject that have discussed it in detail.  Please provide more independent coverage in addition to the school's own web site.  Robert McClenon (talk) 21:10, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
