I have attempted to create an article on Gizzen Briggs, a local traditional music group based in Tain Royal Academy in Highland, Scotland. The reviewer has pointed out that I should have declared an interest. I am not a member of the group, but I was a colleague of the adults who created and manage it.
First question: I have never created an article before and I would like to know if this disqualifies me in this situation.
I was unsure whether the group was sufficiently notable, but I felt that it had been unusually influential in launching the careers of many highly successful young traditional musicians. Indeed, one member of the group mentioned in the article has recently been announced as one of the Saltire Society's "2019 Outstanding Women of Scotland". I used footnotes to register the significance of various people mentioned in my article, but I see now that the footnotes need to show recognition of the significance of Gizzen Briggs and most of mine should be deleted as serving no purpose. Second question: If I could find a record of one of the high profile former members of the group being interviewed and acknowledging the influence of Gizzen Briggs in their careers, would this be the sort of thing required? (I should say that I have not seen such evidence, but I suspect that it may exist.)
The group has had mentions in various newspapers, generally of a local nature. The Ross-shire Journal has contained many reports over the years of concerts the group has given and awards they have received. Third question: Am I right in thinking that local press such as The Ross-shire Journal would not be considered a sufficiently weighty publication to be referenced?
I will continue to look for more convincing evidence of the notability of Gizzen Briggs, but I must recognise the possibility that the group and its achievements are simply not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia.
Meantime, I would be grateful for your clarification on my three questions above. Thank you very much. Angus Gray

My page was declined because "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes." However, I did use footnotes to cite my sources. I need more information regarding why my page was rejected so I can make the necessary changes. Thank you for your help.

Hi - I'm unclear how a proposed page on what amounts to a philosophical/pedagogic principle can be written in a way that does not 'sound like an essay' (which is the reason given for the rejection of this proposed page). The concept of the least dangerous assumption needs adding to wikipedia because its existence, meaning, and implications need documenting in an encyclopedia (i.e. it's a concept that needs logging). For example, in what ways is the page on Geragogy (for example - arbitrary choice of comparison page!) different to what I have drafted, other than that the Geragogy page is mostly in bullet form (which is less essay like)?
I'd like to get this page established somehow, because it's an important thing, so any help you can give would be much appreciated.
thanks!

I have collected what I think are enough references but the reviewer says the references do not significant coverage. The references I selected are solely about the subject and they are independent. Comparing with the example I have given ie Andrew Kitaka, what do I need to add to my article to improve it?

I have collected all my references but the reviewer says the references do not significant coverage, what can I do? I need help, please Chardonel (talk) 18:59, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic(see wp:42). This is so that the claims made in the article can be verified. You simply don't have significant coverage yet, so we can't have an article about you. See the criteria for musicians at WP:MUSICBIO. The relevant criteria to you are:
- Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
- Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
- Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
- Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
- Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
- Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
- Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
- Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.
- Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
- Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.
I submitted my articles three-time and they keep rejecting them, I wanna know what all the mistakes I make and show me how to correct them, thank you

I am creating a page for Karen Countryman-Roswurm. I tried to follow the guidelines but after I published it was still earmarked for a few issues. I have a COI that I listed in the talk page after I was notified of that requirement. Another problem is that it said it read like a resume (Which I was actively trying to avoid). I edited the page to remove all primary sources (there were a few, but I had seen other pages that had similar sources so I wasn't sure the leniency on it). The page has been greatly simplified and focuses primarily on the recent notable work of Countryman-Roswurm.
If I publish the article for review, will I receive further feedback if it is not accepted?
