Hello, the reason I moved the article is that the one source cited for his career [1] names him as Bert Foulds. Feel free to improve the article with your own sources. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:15, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I take it that you are London based- that does make it easier! We have a fairly long meet up of amazing people on the second Sunday of the month at the Penderal's Oak, Wetherspoons, Holborn. It runs from 1.05 till 5.00 officially, somewhere near the entrance around table 38. London 144. I have a section on an untidy userpage-User:ClemRutter#training- which gives links to training material- and reference material too. That will help in getting this article accepted.--ClemRutter (talk) 11:47, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article- the content looks fine the referencing issue have been addressed and that was the main criticism. So I think it is a case of waiting. It will pass. As I understand it this draft procedure is triggered by being new and having a low edit count. So can I suggest you build up your own user page, experimenting with sections, formatting tricks and give the reviewer something to go on if he checks up. Then back here. The page needs sections- at the moment it is just a history. Think of the end user (for instance the BBC radio reporter for instance, who had to do three minute script for a breaking story in zero time, they will Google, find this first, glance at it, see the prose is excellent and will just change a few words so there isn't a blatent copyvio- and you will be on the air). Section- what do they do now? where do they do it, who's in charge. What is their relevance to society- and the theatre world History- beautiful well referenced prose- you have that (though you could split it into before the name change and after. A section a list of greatest achievements. A see also section- for related companies. Go to the top and place a tag and then sit down and write and info-box! I am all in favour of incorporating wiki-training in any course and the London meetup 144 is a great place to exchange ideas. --ClemRutter (talk) 12:22, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then there is the infobox. Template:Infobox theatre group most pages have one. It is template so just copy the gobblegook across onto the page and fill in the bits you can. Then preview to see the magic.

I'll ask Ritchie333 over here to have a look and advise how to get this tranferred from Draft: space to mainspace more quickly.ClemRutter (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've accepted the draft. The standard for draft reviews is not (and never has been) "does this have enough sources" but rather "would the article be deleted if it was in mainspace". As there are multiple book references, and a quick Google Books search shows the Vic-Wells Association name-checked in several publications, it would be unlikely to be deleted even after a

full deletion discussion

.

The next London meetup is at 1pm on Sunday 14 July at the Penderel's Oak, 283-288 High Holborn WC1V 7HP. As Clem says, the meetups are a good place to see what regular Wikipedians get up to and also to get real-time help from experienced editors. For example, last week in Oxford we had a brand new editor who wanted to correct information in a biography but didn't have a suitable source. RexxS, who is very experienced in training new users and has run many workshops on them, gave them plenty of advice and ideas, and we might see them at the London meetup trying to see what to do next. (He can also sort the infobox out if you ask nicely). Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page says "I am interested in editing articles about remarkable women" - you may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red which is geared towards improving Wikipedia's coverage of women biographies and acts as a place to exchange ideas and help each other out with source material and general improvements. Megalibrarygirl may be able to give you further information. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:37, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
