User talk:Otepoti Creative

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

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.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The article claims "Iona Winter is a widely anthologized writer...", ...yet the reference for this claim is listed as the subject's personal website (Reference #1). As a whole, self-published works should be avoided as sources when possible, because they cannot be used to determine the subject's

notability

according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Reliable coverage from secondary sources are often what is most usable to determine the subject's notability, while most of the sources currently in the article are primary ones, or only provide passing mentions of the subject.

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

• 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.

Kia ora and thank you for your fabulous new pages on Colleen Maria Lenihan and Talia Marshall. :) It looks like you're already aware of WikiProject New Zealand and have found your way around successfully; I'd also like to invite you to join WikiProject Women in Red (a project focused on creating content about women) if it looks like something you might be interested in.

Please do let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help with. I am stoked to see a new editor creating such great articles about New Zealand authors! Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:35, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much @

Awesome, hope so (she definitely warrants a page). If I get chance I'll take a look later and see if there's anything I can add, but at a glance I think it's looking good. :) there's always a lot to learn! Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:00, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Otepoti Creative, and welcome to Women in Red. I must say you've been astonishingly productive over the past two or three days with three new women's biographies. I've tagged their talk pages as WIR-282 in line with our current focus on women writers. As a new contributor, you should find it useful to look at some of our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Please let me know if you run into difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I'll check them out! I've been meaning to add those biographies all year, glad to have finally done them. Otepoti Creative (talk) 20:26, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kia ora lpigott and @Utopes, thanks for all your help and apologies for the dumb question... Does Utopes need to be the one who reviews the changes on the Iona Winter page I made as a result of their feedback, or can any (not sure of the right term) "super editor" do it?

I'm hoping to add some more Māori/women New Zealand writers/artists over time, but am glad to have made a start :) Otepoti Creative (talk) 09:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
