Move on Celia Haig-Brown

Hi @Featheredphilosopher I noticed, that you recently moved your page to the Mainspace (the "main" Wikipedia). As you then added the draft review template I assumed you did not intend to publish your page just jet. Accordingly I moved it to Draftspace. If you did mean to publish it to Mainspace, feel free to revert my move. ~ Squawk7700 (talk) 23:35, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for jumping in to help @Squawk7700 I did mean to publish my page, but I'm new at this. I believe the next step is for an experienced editor to review my draft so I added the draft review template thinking this would flag for review. How should I proceed for a reviewer to assess and publish in the mainspace? Featheredphilosopher (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it would make sense for a reviewer to assess in draftspace... Featheredphilosopher (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My page has been deleted, can you help restore it to my sandbox so I can follow the correct steps for a reviewer's assessment? Featheredphilosopher (talk) 23:43, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your page hasn't actually been deleted, just moved to Draftspace, you will find it here. ~ Squawk7700 (talk) 23:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Featheredphilosopher Based on one of your edits I suppose you wanted to get your article reviewed through the article for creation process, am if this is the case you can just add {{subst:submit}} to the top of your page. ~ Squawk7700 (talk) 23:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you, this is what I wanted. As a new user, I appreciate your help. Featheredphilosopher (talk) 23:56, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, congratulations on your first article anyways and no worries, you'll learn quicky. Happy editing Squawk7700 (talk) 23:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @MediaKyle: thanks again for reviewing Draft:Celia Haig-Brown! I appreciate your feedback on citing the list of works and awards with secondary sources (this is different from academic citations). I also rewrote to remove time relevance, editorializing and peacock terms. And fixed the format of the inline citation. Are you able to provide an assessment prior to resubmission, or is it best to select the resubmission button and go from there? Featheredphilosopher (talk) 00:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Featheredphilosopher! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! MediaKyle (talk) 13:40, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the encouragement MediaKyle! I didn't expect to nail it on the first try and I'm very appreciative of your comments so I can learn and apply. Featheredphilosopher (talk) 21:16, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Celia Haig-Brown

Hi Featheredphilosopher, I'm starting a new section for this to make it a little easier to follow. First of all let me say good job on cleaning up the article, it certainly looks a lot better now. I believe this is a clear pass for Wikipedia's notability guidelines for academics at WP:NACADEMIC, so there's no issues there at all, and I'm happy to accept this pending a couple changes: as of right now, there's no citation for the statement about her family members. Any kind of personal information must be properly sourced. It's important to note that the bar for citations is higher when dealing with biographies of living people, see WP:BLPSOURCES. There's also a couple sentences under the "academic career" section that could use an inline citation. In general, you're looking for quality over quantity - if some of these details can't be cited by a secondary source, it may be better to exclude them. Primary sources are best used for backing up details provided by a secondary source. Overall though, the article is in good enough shape that once you add some citations I think it deserves to go to the mainspace for further development. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you SO much. This has been a fun side project and very useful for me to learn how to do this. I've replaced the citation in the filmography section and added a citation for the statement about family members. I'll get to work on finding citations for the sentences in the academic career section and if I can't confirm I will remove them. Featheredphilosopher (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
