Your submission at Articles for creation: Disability and Neurodiversity Pride Flags (July 3)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, SomeoneDreaming, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

For a list like this, you'd need sources that discuss the items as a group. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 23:10, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Disability and Neurodiversity Pride Flags to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Need help?

• For an overview of our policies and guidelines see Everything you need to know.
• You can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, or on the reviewer's talk page.

Scam warning

Hello, do you have any personal or private connection to Minjung Kim? Were you asked by anyone to create that article? grapesurgeon (talk) 01:15, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

No. Had no knowledge of her previously. It was on WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Painters - Rest of world. BKHealy (talk) 01:36, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Categories

Please read WP:CATSPECIFIC and WP:SUBCAT before adding any more categories to articles or other categories (and before creating an new categories). In particular, if an article is already in a specific category (eg Category:Autism, it does not need to be added to a more general category (eg Category:Neurodiversity) that is a parent of the specific category.

Also WP:CATDEF - don't just add categories because you think they are related. Mitch Ames (talk) 10:05, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi BKHealy! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Adding categories is not generally considered a minor edit. Mitch Ames (talk) 10:31, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

WP:LEADCITE

Hello there! Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your edits this past month. This edit is a but concerning, though nothing to do with the infobox. I'm wondering, why did you add "citation needed" tags to the lead? On Wikipedia, citations are not required in the lead if the lead information is cited in the body (as all leads should be). Please make sure you understand WP:LEADCITE, before adding tags like this again. Thank you! Aza24 (talk) 02:17, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Wikicode readability

Please start WikiProject banners on separate lines, like so. This makes the wikicode human-readable.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  11:49, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

My apologies. That makes complete sense. I had been doing it directly in the template so that was the formatting it auto-used. I'll be sure to do that manually from now on. BKHealy (talk) 18:49, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Punctuation after quotes.

Please see MOS:INOROUT for an explanation of why I've reverted 2 of your 3 changes to punctuation at the end of quotes in Maria Mwengere. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. Happy editing!

Oh, and please always check where you're linking to. Linking to a disambiguation page is almost always wrong.

I think there's also a guideline against linking within quotes in general. PamD 19:50, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Hmm, what I can find is MOS:LINKQUOTE which tells us to "be conservative" when linking in quotes. PamD 19:55, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
