Your submission at Articles for creation: Vagina Museum (March 17)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Vagina Museum and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Vagina Museum, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Fixing "publisher" field in citations at Vagina Museum[edit]

I used an automated tool called WP:ReFill to automatically turn your bare URL links in the footnotes into full(er) citations. But for whatever reason it mostly got the titles right and some dates, but in most cases didn't catch what publication your cites are pulling from. Like it got "India Today" right and I manually fixed "Atlas Obscura".

If you have a moment, I suggest you search for the parameter "publisher=" on the page, see where a cite is missing it, and just manually type in "Cosmopolitan" or "London Times" or whatever. Shouldn't take you more than a few minutes and is good editing practice, and will make the sourcing clearer to the reader. Minor tweak but good for thoroughness.

Thank you! I will do this. Still learning the ropes :) Londonpersonintown (talk) 17:22, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

It says that I've been blocked because Bbb23 thinks that I'm a sockpuppet of Funkygishh. This isn't true and I have no idea who this even is. I don't know how they "confirmed" this either. Is there a way I can prove I'm not this person? Totally perplexed by this situation

Decline reason:

They confirmed it using the checkuser tool, which uses logs / technical site data. SQL ^{Query me!} 00:59, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thank you for the reply that "They confirmed it using the checkuser tool, which uses logs / technical site data". I think there must have been an error in the tool. Perhaps at one time I shared an IP address as this user? I work at many places around town so change IP addresses a lot, I'd imagine. We appear not to even have an interest in editing similar pages. I have only ever edited a page I created Vagina Museum which is a project in London. Funkygishh appears to have created pages of an Israeli artist, someone called Peltsman (not sure who this is since the article has been deleted - maybe the rapper? This is all I could find with a cursory google), Stefan-Pierre Tomlin who I'm guessing is the Tinder guy (another google was required), an art gallery director and a woman called Georgina Adam which considering the theme of the other two is probably the one who wrote the book "Dark Side of the Boom: The Excesses of the Art Market in the 21st Century" rather than the Financial Times journalist. Whereas both the Vagina Museum and some of these people in the arts are both vaguely in the same sector, there is no connection between them. I also have never edited these articles. I hope that this shows I'm not Funkgishh since we do not edit the same things. Many thanks in advance for your help in this matter. Londonpersonintown (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The checkuser tool involves far more than just your IP. SQL ^{Query me!} 02:59, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
