Your draft
editConsider requesting that Draft:2023 South Dusable Lake Shore car crash be deleted, as there is no information that suggests it can meet Wikipedia's standard for notability. To do so, put at the top of the draft, inside double curly brackets {{ }}, Db-author. This will request an Administrator to delete the draft. David notMD (talk) 21:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah i mainly used this for a sketch article to use the different features of Wikipedia without having to edit because i didnt know how to use them at the time, will do. Lolzer3000 (talk) 14:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Citation FYI
editHi Lolzer
I was reading through 2024 in aviation and noticed that David E. Harris's death hadn't been properly cited. I fixed it now, but as you added them I wanted to mention it and give you a few pointers on how to properly cite stuff.
Firstly, I suggest you be more specific, so instead of "MSN" or "NPR" say "Blair, Elizabeth (13 March 2024). "The first Black pilot of a commercial airline has died at 89". NPR. Retrieved 14 March 2024.", for example. You want to give it as much detail as you can so it's as clear as possible to someone viewing where you got the info.
Secondly, you need to link the article itself, rather than just the network. You only linked "www.MSN.com", so as soon as the article you saw was off the front page, I could't go and verify it. Like, imagine I tried to cite www.bbc.co.uk for something, as opposed to https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68643137. The second link will work until the article is taken down, but the first will stop being useful as soon as more news happens, which it probably will.
I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I just wanted to give you some advice to make sure you don't make the same mistake in the future. :) SqueakSquawk4 (talk) 22:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
