User talk:Drewsinha

Welcome!

Hi Drewsinha, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've written some advice on editing here for students in Prof. Jackson's similar classes at Longy School of Music which you might find helpful. You'll find it here. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page (User talk:Voceditenore), or place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, ask your question, and another editor will come along to help. When you leave a message here or on any other talk page, be sure to sign it by typing ~~~~ (4 tildes with no spaces between them) at the end. When you click save, the Wikipedia software will automatically convert that show your user name and your talk page (with links to them) as well as the date and time when you signed. WP:SIGN has more about all the ins and outs of that.

You might also be interested in WikiProject Classical music and WikiProject Composers. They have various guidelines for articles in this area and talk pages where you can ask advice from editors experienced in writing articles on classical music and related subjects. You'll find these guides particularly useful: WikiProject Composers: Guide to online research and WikiProject Composers: Copyright guidelines. Happy editing and best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 09:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The Teahouse

Me again. I also wanted to let you know about Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Voceditenore (talk) 09:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

April 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Andy Wood, from its old location at User:Drewsinha/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 19:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Andy Wood (guitarist)

Hi Drewsinha. Thanks for your note. This looks quite promising, but I have a few recommendations.

1. The exact date of birth is problematic. Is there a reliable published source for this? If not, it should be omitted. See also Wikipedia:DOB.
2. Copy edit for a more formal and neutral tone, characterising him as "an in-demand hired gun" is an example of something to be avoided. Aim to make the prose as boring as possible.
3. Avoid using his personal website as a reference, particularly for assertions like "He is known for his proficiency in genres such as rock, metal, fusion, country, and acoustic bluegrass"
4. Add more independent sources and flesh out the biographical data. I recommend this from City View Magazine, This from WBIR, and this from The McDowell News.

Hope that helps. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:58, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Andy Wood (guitarist) (August 5)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Bilorv was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: The topic is not "notable", Wikipedia jargon which isn't intended as any sort of comment on the person himself. Refs #4 and #5 may go some way towards notability but they are local news pieces and other references are interviews (so not secondary sources). Playing as a support act for notable bands does not make an individual notable and Wood's studio albums do not seem to have generated any national critical reviews.

Hello, Drewsinha! Having an article 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! — Bilorv (talk) 09:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
