Not sure what the protocol is for replying to an earlier reply. But creating a new entry, quoting the original issue, just in case.

I am new to submitting on Wikipedia. Can you please review this entry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Asoka_De_Zoysa_Gunawardana

For a simple article like this, I am trying to understand how you strike the balance between a) citing sources and b) not infringing copyright.

I have taken a second pass at re-drafting the content after the initial rejection.

Thank you for your guidance!

 * @IntlLaw I suggest you read Help:Your first article coupled with Help:Referencing for beginners
 * You must use your own words. You may quote small items from cited sources Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 15:10, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

 * @Timtrent Thank you for the suggestion. I have read the getting started guide and have made edits. Is it possible for you to take a look and give feedback? Thank you so much!

 * I think the article would be improved if you could find a source stating when he moved from Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court (1997?), *but* you go with the sources you have, and those are, IMO, good enough. He is notable, it is referenced and when you are ready to submit again, I'll happily move it to mainspace. There are more things that can be done, but those can be done either before or after the move.Naraht (talk) 09:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Naraht Thank you so much for the feedback. You have a very good point. I have cited a source which has 1996 as the date of appointment to the Supreme Court. Can you please move to the mainspace?

hi, why has the draft been rejected? Janani Krishnamurthy draft. do let us know how we can edit it and what changes need to be made so it's reviewed and published. She is one of the top 100 women in India and has been awarded and it's great because no one from south India especially the rural parts of Tamilnadu has ever got the award.
 * It was rejected and deleted because it was blatant spam, and your message above is almost certainly a factor in why your account got blocked. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Jéské Couriano 20:57, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

I do not know how to adequately support my article with reliable sources or have my article show significant coverage about the subject on Lion Mums. LaurenceLian02 (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Please read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about something; you should summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 16:33, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

The rules on submissions seems rather arbitrary - could you please explain how my entry is significantly different to that at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Diorama_Theatre

Thanks

 * See other poor quality articles exist for that argument. Your draft has zero independent sources and has spam links to their own website. Theroadislong (talk) 20:42, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
