05:47:21, 16 April 2022 review of draft by LightProof1995
Hello, I am having trouble writing this article to make it sound neutral. I can't tell if I need to add more *science* to it, or if it just doesn't have enough references, i.e. the "don't speculate". It is possible I wrote some stuff down that I saw, without me including it in the references... but I'm not sure, there is a lot of science in the references. Any help on this would be much appreciated. EDIT: I added some more references. Everything I talk about is 100% covered in the references now. I feel like I only hardly changed it though, and I need a second opinion before I resubmit it.

 * If you have to ask, you should not be editing Wikipedia until you can figure it out for yourself. 331dot (talk) 17:04, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

My draft article was declined - I don't understand why. Someone who was Mayor of a city in four separate terms should qualify for a Wikipedia article, shouldn't they? (I would have thought that anyone who served as a major qualified.)

I realize the sourcing is fairly thin, but sourcing for people who lived in the 19th century in the United States is necessarily going to be difficult to find unless they were famous on a national level. Is there something I can do to improve the article to gain acceptance? (I will continue to look for more sourcing.) Txantimedia (talk) 18:09, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

 * It is true that most mayors merit Wikipedia articles, but there must be the necessary sources. I think if you improved the sourcing you can get it there.  Sources do not have to be online, as long as they are publicly available. I think a local historical society or library might be a good place to look. 331dot (talk) 19:01, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will attempt to find additional sources that cover his service in depth. Txantimedia (talk) 17:22, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
