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.
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:Dong Yuhui 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.

Hey! You're doing great work on
Su Shi etc. Here are a few things I've noticed from your recent edits:
Section headings (and article titles) on Wikipedia are written in sentence case (Early life and education, not in title case (Early Life and Education; even though it's called title case)
Some of your edits about figures seem to include
so-called "purple prose", which is mostly contrary to an encyclopedic tone.
When you add Chinese-language text to an article, either characters or romanization, it's important to tag it as such, for accessibility and other reasons. You can learn how to do this on
the section of our Manual of Style related to Chinese-language text and China-related articles.
User:TheIntrospectorsfacts, I'm just going to add that you do have good editorial skills (based on a brief review of your contributions to "Chinese Mythology"). Also, just now looking at your Talk page -- in terms of creating articles relating to China (at least), I suggest just to create the article. Going through the Articles for Creation is unnecessary, and China related articles tend to be deprecated. I looked at your Dong Dong Yuhui draft: for a Start class article I do not see fault. Me, being completely clueless about Dong Yuhui (which is the point of having encyclopedic articles -- to be able to look stuff up), I did a quick search: yahoo!finance has an article
Meet China's new live-streaming e-commerce star: an English-language tutor who lost his off-campus teaching job. An e-commerce star! Wikipedia is worse off without an article about:
"China's unlikely new live-streaming e-commerce star is 29-year-old Dong Yuhui, an erudite, former off-campus English-language tutor who now pitches a range of goods online, from books and cooking pans to steaks, shrimp and everyday groceries."
This is not my personal area of interest, but I would like to be able to look up information on Chinese e-commerce stars that invokes such "purple prose" praise from yahoo!finance -- in case myself or someone else becomes interested. As much as I am a fan of older, white, european-ancestry males and acknowledge the many encyclopedic notabilities, en.Wikipedia cannot be said to be without systemic bias.
Also, I suggest that you create your User page, so that you look more of a part of Wikipedia, at least enough so that your User name is not always in red.
Anyway, do as you wish. Cheers and happy editing!
And, if you do just post up the article, bypassing Articles for Creation, remember to blame
Thanks for the feedback. It's encouraging and informative to hear from peers. I threw in the Dong Yuhui page in as a test-water experiment. However, I disapproved my own submission after going through Wiki rules and after reading samples of featured articles. I shift back to edit existing articles on China which are abundant and will keep me occupied and engaged for the time being.:)

plagiarism issues.
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

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.
