Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Muslim Association of Canada, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 19:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I see now how you can add the reference in the InfoBox feature. I will try it again. Edna.Arhat (talk) 19:46, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yamla, the Muslim Association of Canada Wikipedia page lacks proper structure and documentation of the organization's programs and services. I dont believe it provides readers with sufficient information to understand MAC's purpose and impact fully. I want to make some edits to improve the page's content through adding some relevant and well-sourced information about MAC's programs and services, such as education initiatives, community outreach efforts, and charitable activities. Additionally, organizing the page's content into more logical headings and subheadings I think would be better.

When I get some time I'll make some small edits. I see you are a regular contributor to this page, so feel free to let me know if it makes sense. Edna.Arhat (talk) 19:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your most recent change was properly supported. Thank you! Please note if you are involved with MAC in any way, you need to declare your conflict of interest. WP:COI explains how. I'm not saying you are, just pointing out that we have strict requirements around this. --Yamla (talk) 20:26, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for raising that. I am not and have no conflict to report. Edna.Arhat (talk) 20:58, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Glad to hear it! I'm going to stick a 'welcome' message at the top of your page. This has links to our policies and guidelines. Thanks again for making a properly-supported edit, I appreciate it and look forward to many more good edits! --Yamla (talk) 21:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm interested in highlighting the contributions of prominent Muslim Canadians to wikipedia which I believe is a valuable addition. Especially those have a lifelong contributions and available reliable sources to support factual contributions they have made.

I'll be doing this from a neutral point of view. I am new to edits, so ill be careful. Thanks for providing a welcome message.

I have done my first post. Draft:Ehab Lotayef. Edna.Arhat (talk) 21:44, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yamla,

Can you offer any advice on the feedback about my first page creation.

Draft:Ehab Lotayef

I have many supporting footnotes from independent sources (ex. news articles) that the content is based on. Can you provide more specific advice on how to fix this? Edna.Arhat (talk) 02:40, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please read the decline notice. Your sources were not sufficient as Lotayef was not the subject of the sources and/or the sources were not independent. --Yamla (talk) 10:26, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ehab Lotayef (April 21)

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Notability requires him to be the subject of third party reliable source coverage about him in sources independent of himself. That is, you do not establish notability by referencing the article's content to pieces of his own bylined writing about other things, staff or contributor profiles on the self-published websites of organizations or companies he's directly affiliated with, YouTube videos, Q&A interviews in which he's doing the talking, directory entries or sources in which he's merely briefly quoted as a provider of soundbite in an article whose primary subject is someone or something else -- it requires sources in which he is the subject of coverage and analysis by other people. But only one footnote in this entire article rises to the standard of what's needed, and one isn't enough.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ehab Lotayef and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
