Welcome! edit
Hello, Redabyss1, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

I've moved your draft to the appropriate location as above.
If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. I can advise you how to do that depending on the nature of any COI. Your draft isn't ready for article space yet, please read the following regarding writing an article:
- you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
- The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
- significant coverage in
- independent,
- multiple,
- reliable,
- secondary sources.
- Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
- You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
- There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
- You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
At present, the draft is seriously under-refrenced, and includes opinions and unverified facts]. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Jimfbleak please explain why you are fiddling with my partly completed draft. I put it here so I could peacefully work on it and instead you are trying to delete it when it is only half done.
- I do not understand any of the above. This is a professional encyclopaedic article from an independent person (me) about a major sector of the economy involving about two thousand firms. Are you objecting that I have referred to half a dozen of these firms and given their websites? Thousands of firms have individual entries on wikipedia, I have corrected some of them, and they all refer to the firm website
- There seems nothing for it - I will have to remove this article and complete it offline to prevent this kind of unpleasant and unwanted interference. Redabyss1 (talk) 01:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's only by chance I came back here, if you want me to see a message, you can post it on my talk page. You can alternatively leave a message on this page, and I will know you have done so if you start it with my user name, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~~~~ when you post it. That will send me an alert.

- I obviously haven't deleted your draft, or it wouldn't be here now. What I have done is move it to a more appropriate location, and do some fixing. When you post here, you have to accept that anyone can make good faith edits to your text. You are right about the links, they must either be in refs or External links, not in the body Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
May 2022 edit
Hello, I'm Mako001. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brian Howe (politician), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 13:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Community housing in Australia moved to draftspace edit
An article you recently created, Community housing in Australia, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). It also has issues with not maintaining a neutral point of view, and includes personal opinions and commentary. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 14:55, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mako001, the article already has about 26 citations from reliable independent sources, more than the average new article. I've trawled the internet and I think it will be quite hard to find more. There are a few newer housing books that may have something, but by and large the subject is too new to have much in the way of academic commentary. In my opinion the article very much meets notability, it's ready for review and ready for mainspace now, but I'll flip through it first and see what more can be done. Redabyss1 (talk) 00:34, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- It does indeed have a lot of citations, but the absolute number of citations isn't the problem. It would be fine with half the number of citations, so long as all statements are supported by reliable sources. However, several sections and paragraphs do not have any citations. That is the primary reason I moved it to draftspace.
- Having been around for 20-30 years, this topic should have enough material available to source everything in the article, and you don't necessarily need to have academic commentary, just reliable sources. Even so, you may find that you do need to try the old-fashioned "look in the library" method to find sources.
- On the topic of how other articles have less citations, it is indeed quite common for a brand new stub to have only two or three citations, but everything should be sourced and cited correctly.
- By the way, I responded to your message on my talk page as well.
- Cheerio and happy editing! Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 06:47, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for the explanation, lets see what I can do. I agree looking at it there are some subsections that do not have citations. The annual reports of these companies are always the best source, they are audited and public and I hope they count as 'reliable sources'. Redabyss1 (talk) 07:41, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red edit
Hi there, Redabyss1, and thank you for creating two detailed biographies of women. If you intend to continue along these lines, you might like to become a member of Wikiproject Women in Red where we are trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Ipigott. I have tried to join the project before but can't work it out. I think that there are a lot of women in areas such as management and economics who have made really serious contributions and are trailblazers, but they are underrepresented. One problem is they often don't get the kind of direct media attention that is necessary for wikipedia, either because those professions are not of interest to the press, or because they were passing credit to senior men. In the case of the two I have done - they were "lucky", though they probably don't think so. Redabyss1 (talk) 14:32, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- You've successfully signed up now -- so welcome to the project. You might find some useful tips in our Primer. You are quite right that quite a number of prominent businesswomen are not sufficiently covered in the media for notability to be established on Wikipedia. It a general problem with women. Please let me know if you need any help with your next biography. Seasons greeting and happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:59, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
