Wicca article

Hello there, I reverted the edit you made here because the article has a long history of getting burdened with 'In popular culture' references and I didn't think that this one was significant enough to include. I realise reverting like this seems a bit knee-jerk, but perhaps you'd like to discuss it more on the article's talk page? Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 20:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Kim. No worries about holding the page off. I'm still trying to get a handle on Wikipedia guidelines and requirements. I wrote up the basic contents for Will's page and planned to add source notes as soon as I'm clear about how. I have numerous active links to 3rd party reviews and interviews re his band(s) and himself. Will excerpts or links to those sites help meet the independent source requirements? e.g.: https://www.kennedy-center.org/artists/f/fo-fz/the-funk-ark/

https://www.marmosetmusic.com/artists/the-funk-ark

https://www.gratefulweb.com/topics/funk-ark

https://www.popmatters.com/157428-the-funk-ark-high-noon-2495861180.html

http://georgegraham.com/reviews/funkark.html

https://performermag.com/new-music-and-video/interviews-and-features/the-funk-ark-an-interview-with-will-rast/

Plenty more where those came from.

Thanks for the advice.

Will Rast moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Will Rast, 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). 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.
