April 2020

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District, from its old location at User:Jack Fangles/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District (April 17)

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

"Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic" (see WP:42)

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:Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, 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.

Hello, Jack Fangles! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 17:32, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Style guide for NRHP articles

Hi, I noticed Draft:Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District and thought you might find the resources at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Style guide helpful. Happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 20:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You might also find it helpful to look at similar articles; check out the table at National Register of Historic Places listings in Los Angeles. Schazjmd (talk) 21:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw your note on my talk page. It's easiest to respond to other editors in the place where they "wrote" to you; in this case, right here on your Talk page. Also, just a tip: whenever you comment on a talk page (or anywhere really except in an actual Wikipedia article), be sure to sign your comment by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment. The four tildes automatically insert your signature and timestamp at the end. Schazjmd (talk) 21:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Jack Fangles (talk) 21:12, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You did it right!

Schazjmd (talk) 21:13, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I know how daunting it can all be in the beginning. Please feel free to ask me (here or on my Talk page) if you have any questions. I've done a number of NRHP articles, they're fun. Schazjmd (talk) 22:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would this be an acceptable source to cite? https://www.hollywoodheritage.org/on-the-boulevard Jack Fangles (talk) 01:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. You'll also get a lot of details from the NRHP nomination form and the book that Cullen linked you to. I set up two sections in the draft, Description and History. In the description section, you can provide the architectural details of what is included in the historic district. Then in the history section, you can tell the story about how the district came about and why it's important historically. Just be careful to write everything in your own words except for when you're adding a direct quote. Schazjmd (talk) 14:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

+:Yes. You'll also get a lot of details from the NRHP nomination form and the book that Cullen linked you to. I set up two sections in the draft, '''Description''' and '''History'''. In the description section, you can provide the architectural details of what is included in the historic district. Then in the history section, you can tell the story about how the district came about and why it's important historically.
