Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (February 13)

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

needs independent sources, most of the content here is unsourced, see WP:BLP.

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 User:RDEHAS/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, RDEHAS. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ron Daniels (director), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 12:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Theroadislong thank you so much for your comments. I just wanted to take the time to say that I considered Ron Daniels deserving of a wiki page after many years in the industry and having worked with some very established actors. Much like his contemporaries and colleagues such as Trever Nunn, I believed he needed a wiki page.

I can freely admit that I do not have any direct connections to Mr Daniels, have never worked with him or carry any of his interests. My education was in drama and Shakespeare, and the study of the works of directors like him, and I was surprised to see many of the directors at his level had pages and he didn't. I contacted Mr Daniels to get some information about his work in order to expand on the bio, but all other information provided has been from archives such as those publicly available on the RSC, ART and his agency's pages, along with reviews and news articles of his work. I am personally connected to a theatre producer that has worked with him, and who helped me expand on his page. No personal organisation have been linked.

I desperately wish to publish this page correctly and without any issues, so please advise if there is anything further I can do to comply with wiki standards.

Thank you very much. RDEHAS (talk) 21:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I contacted Mr Daniels to get some information about his work in order to expand on the bio" This means you have a VERY clear conflict of interest Wikipedia can use nothing you gained from this contact and you need to disclose your conflict of interest on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 21:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you for the advice. I will disclose this on my page. I will disclose that the information I gained from Mr Daniels was considering his move to and back from United States to confirm this timeline. Thank you. RDEHAS (talk) 21:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have clearly miss-understood how Wikipedia works we only report on what reliable independent sources have said, if it hasn't been published we do not use it. Theroadislong (talk) 21:32, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Director Jack Gelber

In the article Ron Daniels (director) there are three references for Jack Gelber directing Indians. Nunn was the season's director.--AntientNestor (talk) 16:32, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could add (but it's a bit cluttered already) this one: "White men and Indians". The Stage. 11 July 1968. p. 13.--AntientNestor (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this, but Nunn may have been the artistic director at the time, but Gerber directed this production, as per the RSC official archives: https://collections.shakespeare.org.uk/search/rsc-performances/ind196807 RDEHAS (talk) 20:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So why did you delete Gelber and change it [1] to Terry Hands?--AntientNestor (talk) 21:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes sorry I got confused about what we were talking about. I changed that this afternoon coincidentally because I remembered that Gerber was fired apparently and Terry Hands took over, but while finding the source I realised that the RSC archives don't suggest such a story! Ironically this was the one credit I had major issues finding a source for. I believed it is now fixed? Thank you very much for your help. Very useful. RDEHAS (talk) 21:25, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easily done, as I know all too well.

I was pleased to accept this draft article, BTW. It was surprising to find that Daniels was the only RSC director from the company's best years (quoting Michael Billington, Simon Trowbridge op cit, and many others) who didn't have a page.--AntientNestor (talk) 22:11, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grateful to you for accepting it. Couldn't agree more, I was so surprised when I studied his work that he had no wiki, he worked so much with so many greats! Any and all help is appreciated. RDEHAS (talk) 22:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. In addition to the legal issues raised by copyright law, copying content directly from the subject's personal website is a neutrality concern Thank you. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
