Moved your inquiry

Hello! I moved your inquiry about reliability of sources to the reliable sources noticeboard, which is a better place for such queries. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Your userpage

Hi Bappy, I'd like to suggest that you write something on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bappyh&action=edit&redlink=1 your userpage], so that it doesn't show up red when editing or posting, and also because it looks friendlier and more knowledgeable with a message. I suggest that you put [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bappyh/sandbox&oldid=811543202 this] on it. :) Softlavender (talk) 17:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Tips and tricks :)

{{totd}}

This is a template, and you can move it to your userpage if you prefer. The template and some other similar ones are listed here: WP:Tip of the day#Tip templates. (The tip today is kind of a bore.) I will post the Wikipedia Adventure for you below, which is a fun way to learn. -- Softlavender (talk) 18:34, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

{{divbox|blue|3=I agree with the original decline, unfortunately. It needs more significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability: there's very little about him, specifically. For example, none of the sources in the article (inline or otherwise) back up the third paragraph, which covers much of his career. The fourth paragraph is much the same.

I agree with the discussion on the noticeboard that it's a borderline case, and some more coverage - if it exists - could well get it over the line.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer.

Dear ::{{ping|The Drover's Wife}}, dear ::{{ping|Kb.au}}, Thank you so much for your precious guidance. That first submission experience taught me a lot. But I'm kind of frustrated when I look at Jeff Watson's page (a personality that I mentioned in my submission), specifically on its references that are quite poor and contains one I used. What's your opinion about it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Watson_(designer)
