Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Cardwell (June 10)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CurryTime7-24 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:

WP:JOURNALIST

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:Peter Cardwell 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.

Keir Mather[edit]

There seems to be no source for his being at Hymers College. How do you know this? I've removed it as unsourced. Are you connected with Mather in some way - friend, colleague, family? If so, please read WP:COI. PamD 18:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - listed in the alumni section of Hymers College page. Will see if I can find a further source. Oxonwiki (talk) 18:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also according to the print edition of the London Evening Standard (pg. 11) he worked as a researcher for former MP Matthew Parris. Oxonwiki (talk) 18:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of St Hugh's Boat Club[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on St Hugh's Boat Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St Hugh's Boat Club. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please note that all other Oxford college boat clubs have their own page, see for example St Hilda's College Boat Club. Suggest that this page is therefore not deleted for consistency. A number of other pages also link to this article, e.g. The Boys in the Boat (film). Oxonwiki (talk) 18:06, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023[edit]

Thanks for contributing to the article David Pepper (intelligence official). However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting in touch. I have added a citation as requested. Oxonwiki (talk) 22:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Nagol0929. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gagan Mohindra, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nagol0929 (talk) 14:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your Article regarding Woodford County High School For Girls[edit]

I've noticed that you have added "notable former pupils..". Kindly add reliable source to that information if you can't find any then revert the edit Tomlovesfar (talk) 14:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your username[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Oxonwiki", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Do you have any connection with Oxford University? While we welcome editors who want to improve coverage of an institution, a better username might be JaneSmithAtOxford or similar. In addition, COIs must be disclosed. —Ganesha811 (talk) 16:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ganesha811, I see Oxonwiki did as you asked, but which particular "name" did you believe "Oxonwiki" represented? It doesn't credibly represent the name of "Oxford", and even if it did that isn't the name of a "company, group, organization, product, service, or website". Moonraker (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I felt that as Oxonwiki was almost exclusively editing articles related to Oxford University, their username could reasonably be taken to mean that they were Oxford's official representation on Wikipedia. Oxford is the name of an organization - Oxford University - which fits within both the letter and spirit of the policy. I appreciated their quick action to get renamed. —Ganesha811 (talk) 03:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 UoOCE[edit]

This page is turning into an interesting one. Thanks for your help. I said "went on the record with" as a slight dig at all the people only willing to comment anonymously, but I'll let your toning down stand.

Something that did quite surprise me was Cherwell reporting on the new committee without any comment at all. Wouldn't have happened in my day. Moonraker (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed - and already a lot of coverage in the national press given that no candidates have officially declared as yet! Bram880 (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
