Helen Aldwinkle[edit]

Heya! Started a draft for this at this page in draftspace. I don't have a Times subscription; but should be able to get it through Glasgow libraries, or maybe NLS? Lirazelf (talk) 10:57, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

added some more bits from the Times obit, and an Aberdeen express piece I found through NLS. Needs a bit of copyediting as I think I'm too close to the original wording, could you take a pass? Lirazelf (talk) 20:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Lirazelf: Thank you. I've had a pass on your copy and I think it does not look too close to original wording. I added some early life and career details this morning. Looks good to send to article? LeahLockhart (talk) 08:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)LeahLockhart[reply]

New article[edit]

I've tagged your new article about You Should See Me in a Crown as needing some improvement. To clarify the issues:

As a new book by a first-time author, with no indications that it has received significant coverage in the press (Goodreads reviews don't count as this is mostly user-generated content with little if any editorial review), the book does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion at Wikipedia. I have not nominated it for deletion, because it is possible you can improve this situation by providing more citations to reliable sources, but for now, the article does not look like it belongs at Wikipedia.
The article relies too much on primary sources, including the book itself, the author's interview, and the author's own website.

If you can address these issues, great. If not, I or another editor are likely to eventually nominate the article for deletion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:40, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiDan61: Thank you for flagging. The article was firmly in the 'too soon' camp! Improvements have been made.
