File:Information.svg Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a draft for a Wikipedia article about yourself, at :Draft:John Kenneth Paranada. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. jlwoodwa (talk) 21:57, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you for your message and for reviewing this draft. I want to acknowledge that I am the subject of the draft, and I understand the guidance on autobiographies and conflict of interest (COI). I’ve included the {{UserboxCOI}} on the page and would like to be fully transparent about my role.

:The draft has been written with careful adherence to Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing standards. It includes significant, independent coverage from reliable secondary sources such as:

:The Guardian (2025)

:The Art Newspaper (2023)

:Aesthetica Magazine (2025)

:Museum International (Routledge, peer-reviewed, 2024)

:GMA News, FAD Magazine, Tyndall Centre, and others.

:I’ve taken care to ensure the article is neutral, encyclopaedic in tone, and verifiable. I would greatly appreciate it if a neutral editor could review, improve, or adopt the draft as appropriate. I welcome any suggestions and would be happy to support the process to bring the article up to full approval, in accordance with all policies.

{{divbox|blue|3=You appear to have a basic misunderstanding of the writing of article here and the use of citations. As an example "{{blue|His appointment was profiled in The Art Newspaper in 2023, which highlighted the creation of a new curatorial role in response to the climate emergency. Aesthetica Magazine also featured Paranada in its 2025 preview of environmental art exhibitions.}}" adds no value whatsoever.

Instead please use what is said about Paranada in the references you choose, selecting them always from multiple independent reliable sources which give him significant coverage

We are not at all interested in the fact that something has been said about him somewhere. Instead we needs to know what has been said about him, and then to see it cited with a reference which passes WP:42

You appear to have written this WP:BACKWARDS, deleting what you wish to say and then striving for references to verify it. That has been a waste of your time, and you now need a total rewrite.

Why have you not linked carefully to the online references you are using? You have filled out a "retrieved" parameter, but retrieved nothing that we can see. The references are not only to verify what is said, but for readers of Wikipedia.

:Hi @Timtrent, thank you for taking the time to review the draft and for the detailed feedback. I've taken your comments seriously and have now reworded the entry significantly to reflect your guidance.

:The revised draft focuses on what reliable secondary sources have said about John Kenneth Paranada, rather than simply stating where he has been mentioned. I've removed vague or unnecessary attributions like “his work was featured in…” and instead provided directly cited statements from sources like The Art Newspaper, The Guardian, and academic publications, clearly embedding each citation with working links.

:The tone has been revised to be neutral and encyclopedic, and all claims are now verifiably tied to independent sources offering significant coverage. I've also ensured that retrieved links are live and visible to readers, per WP:CITE best practice.

:I hope this version better meets Wikipedia's expectations for notability, verifiability, and content structure. I welcome any further suggestions and thank you again for the support and clarity.
