Nicola Adams

Hello PatGallacher, I'd like to clarify my intention for changing the above article on Nicola Adams. She has mentioned in interviews numerous times that she is bisexual (and this was the reason for why she fought for a female partner on Strictly Come Dancing) so it was wrong for the article to mislabel her as gay. The cited reference that was already there does mention her bisexuality*, so that is why I didn't add my own cite.

so this was in fact an incorrect cite for the misinformation I was trying to correct in the first place.

Arthur Mullard

Hello PatGallacher, I just wanted to clear up the nature of my (now-reverted) edit to Arthur Mullard's article- I in no way sought to indicate 'doubt' regarding the allegations (as there's no way I personally could have any real knowledge of it), but wondered if perhaps the emphasis on his daughter's claims was too great given the absence of any other sources than the Sunday Mirror, which, as the Sunday edition of the Daily Mirror, is presumably subject to the same consideration given to the latter at Wikipedia:Potentially unreliable sources. Since you've reverted the edit I don't intend to try again, but I do think it a shame that no other sources- even referring to the allegations second-hand- seem to exist which would lend credibility to them, and more to the point, to the very insistent manner in which details of said allegations are presented in three separate sections of the article. Just wanted to let you know where I was coming from when I made the edit, lest it be considered that simple doubt regarding the truthfulness of his daughter's claims had motivated me. Thanks!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ruth Baza (August 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:

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.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ruth Baza and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Deletion discussion about Gilbert Wynne

Hello PatGallacher, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Gilbert Wynne, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gilbert Wynne.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Miminity}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Terence Wilton moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Terence Wilton, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
