 * Wikipedia is not for promoting or "generating awareness" of something, even if its a noble cause. Wikipedi articles require multiple reliable independent sources with significant coverage (not yust passing mentions). Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi! My article was declined because my references do not show significant coverage about the subject. How I can improve that? Is pasting links to additional articles will be enough?

 * In this case not at all, because this appears to be copied from elsewhere. If that external website belongs to you, you may have a look at WP:DCM. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

This draft article was rejected with the explanation: "Subject fails WP:GNG. Please wait until the subject dies. Stuff the subject wrote doesn't count. I don't think AAAI Fellows are notable, either. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)".

This is insulting. It is certainly not an objective assessment of the notability of the subject of the article. Moreover, it is entirely against the democratic ethos of Wikipedia: that anyone can present a point of view, so that one subjective view is balanced against another. In this case, one person has acted upon a subjective assessment, and suggested that the subject needs to die to be regarded as notable. This dishonours not only the subject of the article, but Wikipedia as an institution.

14:09:08, 4 July 2020 review of submission by Ulrich131
Hello Helpdesk, I am very pleased with accepted article on Ruth Clayton, but I wish to improve it by adding relevant images that I have now obtained. I have read the appropriate Wikipedia pages, determined that they are non-free images and will need to be be uploaded to English Wikipedia by fulfilling criteria for fair use rather, than using the Wiki Commons route. I have the relevant information to make the case for fair use. However when I launch the File Upload Wizard I am told that I am not able to do so because I am not autoconfirmed. Is it true that I can successfully submit a new entry to Wikipedia but not improve it by adding relevant images? Or am I missing something. I would be very grateful for your help and advice. Ulrich131 (talk) 14:09, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi . Yes, that is true. There are some limits on all editors who are not autoconfirmed, because too many abused their editing privileges. They are able to create articles through the Articles for Creation process, but no similar mechanism allows them to upload non-free images. Autoconfirmed is a very low bar. You will reach that status after you make three more edits. They needn't be major edits, but neither should you try to game the system by making completely meaningless ones to reach the magic number. See Community portal for simple ways you can improve the encyclopedia and reach your goal at the same time. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:52, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually,, is incorrect here. The Files for upload process does for files what Articles For Creation does for drafts, it allows users who are not autoconfirmd, and indeed who are not even registered, to request assistance in uploading images and other files. However, the process is simpler for autoconfirmed users. But given that you have managed to get a valid article through the AfC process, Ulrich131, I am simply going to mark your account as confirmed, which gives the same rights as being autoconfirmed.

On 20th June my submission was declined for not meeting notability & inline citation criteria. I was asked to include details about my subject more as a sports player than sports administrator since his notability criteria as a player is met. I have made the following changes to my draft:

1. Changed to Summary to start with his playing career 2. Included more details as a sports player in his playing career section 3. Moved the links from 'External Links' section to 'References' section to meet inline citation criteria

Are these changes enough for the article to qualify?
 * The inline issue still remains unaddressed. Please visit references for beginners to know how to add/cite references in Wikipedia. ~ Amkgp 💬  15:43, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Please may you help me make this page suitable? I’m struggling with what else needs to be put in and how I go about that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
