Hello Melcous,

Thank you for your message. I am relatively new on Wiki as a contributor, so I apologize for some of the discrepancies that caused you to cite some of the content for this page. I am working on rectifying the issues per your guidelines. I do not have an external relationship with the people, places or things on the Bill Grisolia page.

Thank you.

Given your edit history to date and that you have claimed multiple images of Grisolia as your own work, a simple disavowal is not persuasive. Can you please explain how you came to possess the rights to File:Bill Grisolia in 2023.jpg and File:Bill Grisolia, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick and Hal David.jpg? _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thank you for your message. I just had a chance to view it. To answer your question, the source of the two images is from Bill Grisolia's Facebook page. The picture of him with Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Dionne Warwick is from a 2010 post and the other one with the hat is also from one of his Facebook posts in 2022 and then 2023 as part of a mixed collage. I am still very new to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Wiki Commons. I did go through the tutorials but sometimes it is confusing with some of the directions. I am still learning and I want to adhere to the Wikipedia rules. I will change the source of the pictures to Facebook. I follow Bill's music and it would be good to have it back up again. Please let me know then how I can make the page active again. I do see a few links provided in the draft but a little more direction will help. Thank you.

If you have taken the images from his facebook page, then uploading them here and claiming them as your own work is a copy right violation and you should remove them immediately. Melcous (talk) 23:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have removed the two images. Sunindigo (talk) 00:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bill Grisolia (September 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Much of this is unsourced, many of the sources make no mention of him so not useful (and should be used) and others are brief mentions. If resubmitted without substantial improvements addressing all the issues, the draft may be rejected meaning it will not longer be considered.

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:Bill Grisolia 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.
