Overlinking and edit summaries

Hi - Thanks for trying to help improve the encyclopedia. I noticed many of your edits are adding links to everyday terms. Many of these are not ever clicked, and instead they compete with readers' attention. Please read MOS:OVERLINK for more details. I also noticed you don't leave edit summaries. Without one, the editors who watch these articles (like me) have to check to make sure the edit isn't vandalism. This takes time away from us being able to improve the encyclopedia. Also, sometimes the autogenerated edit summaries have an incorrect tag, such as with [this edit. It says it's "disambiguation tag added", but it's not - it's Wiki-linking. Including an edit summary will clarify what you are doing. Please see Help:Edit summary. Happy editing! TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:38, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (December 20)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Subject seems to meet WP:MUSICBIO criterion #8, but there are problems. One significant claim is not cited at all (Independent Music Awards), and this is required to be in compliance with WP:BLP policy. Furthermore, the name-dropping citations are irrelevant, providing almost zero coverage of the subject, making it appear that citations were added to provide an illusion of coverage. Because this topic has been deleted multiple times, to the point of being blacklisted on MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, a draft article on this topic should be unquestionably suitable for mainspace before being accepted.

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 User:MerliSter/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Dear @Anachronist:, for Leonid Ptashka, I added two reliable sources on The Jerusalem Post and another website.

About User:MerliSter/sandbox, first reference is an article about him in Ynet focusing on him and his career and in my opinion we can consider it as significant coverage in relible sources. I added new reference (#2), a paragraph about him on The Jewish Week, that is introducing him as a ″Israeli contemporary music composer″. I also added other links, please check it out. I bleive I have created an article about a jazz pianist containing a short description, discography an awards. Both of articles are short descriptions and I don't prefer to write more about the subject. Because I prefer that articles be completed by contributions of other Wikipedia writers. like many other articles in Wikipedia. Looking forward for receiving your feedback.
