Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the
talk page of a
relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant
WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.
Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.
Comment: Article currently reads more like a CV than an encyclopedia article - could do with a rewrite to be more encyclopedic before being accepted.

Mona Lisa on the blockchain
In a self-described ''prank'', Eden used the Verisart Blockchain to claim that he painted the
Mona Lisa[40][41]. As has been noted by several academics publications, this undermines tackling art theft using a blockchain[42], demonstrates that it is impossible to trust the provenance of
NFTs[43], makes it difficult to assess the usefulness of digital certificates[44], and weakens the arguments for other uses of IP on blockchains[45].
