Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

None of this satisfies the applied notability standards, none of it establishes him as being considered a significant figure in his field and notability cannot be inherited.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:James Veltmeyer (Physician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

After editing, I notice that the references and the numbers don't line up correctly. For example, a sentence ends with a [2] and it should now be a [3]. How do I refresh or control the numbers that correspond with the reflist? I am using in-line citations and it seems to create the numbers automatically, but after edits it does not line up anymore. Thank you.

I noticed that (in Draft:James Veltmeyer (Physician)), you manually added numbers to the end of sentences, as well as a numbered list of sources in the References section. What you should do is put the source in between <ref></ref> tags, at the end of the relevant sentence, like this:

Dr. Veltmeyer is currently a candidate for Congress in California’s 52nd District, challenging incumbent Scott Peters.<ref>[https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2017/08/21/surgeon-james-veltmeyer-challenging-rep-peters-3rd-republican-in-race/ "Surgeon James Veltmeyer Challenging Rep. Peters; 3rd Republican in Race"], Times of San Diego, August 21, 2017.</ref>

; that way the numbering will be handled automatically. For more information check out Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: the basics. ~ benzband (talk) 19:30, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Actually, no, I DID NOT add the numbers manually. I put the references in brackets [like this] and the numbers were automatically generated by the system. Problem is, when I make edits, the numbers don't line up anymore. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). tags, at the end of the relevant sentence, like this: Dr. Veltmeyer is currently a candidate for Congress in California’s 52nd District, challenging incumbent Scott Peters.^[1]; that way the numbering will be handled automatically.

That's because if you enter a URL between single square brackets (like this: [https://example.com]) it will display a numbered external link. These numbers are sequential on the page, and bear no relationship to the list of references. For this reason, adding external links as references in the text isn't the way to add citations. Instead, follow benzband's advice above, or check out this simple introduction to see how to do it correctly. Yunshui ^雲 _水 15:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
