Hi, when making edits such as this, please take care to avoid splitting text from references as you did in that edit. I repaired that specific edit for you in this edit, but in the future it would be good to do that on your own when you add a sentence. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 14:00, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

DGG ( talk ) 09:23, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Hello EMarkel-JoyetAPS,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged James Hutchinson (physician) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I held you up the other day (to a new institutional contributor) as a positive model of how a connected editor can make meaningful contributions on Wikipedia. And you do page creation too. Good for us! If I can be of any assistance, review and/or comment, please feel invited to do call on me. BusterD ( talk) 20:31, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi there! Thanks for your contributions lately. I just wanted to note that you've been using some sources that are not considered reliable. Generally speaking user-generated sources like Geni, Wikitree, etc should not be used as citations. Primary sources can be used but only in limited cases. Nikkimaria ( talk) 00:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
Aha! Thank you for that tip, Nikkimaria I will use better sources from now on. EMarkel-JoyetAPS ( talk) 00:34, 9 June 2021 (UTC) [User:EMarkel-JoyetAPS|EMarkel-JoyetAPS]]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Johann Christopher Kunze requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://search.amphilsoc.org/memhist/search?creator=&title=&subject=&subdiv=&mem=&year=1780&year-max=&dead=&keyword=&smode=advanced. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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. Onel5969 TT me 14:49, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi,[User talk:Onel5969| . I am a representative of the APS and have sent the appropriate permissions email to wikipedia.rg. The article and web page are written by the same person. Thanks for checking. EMarkel-JoyetAPS ( talk) 20:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC) Emarkel-JoyetAPS
Hallo, Thank you for creating this article which I came across while stub-sorting. A few bits of advice:
It seems from your user page and your contributions history that you are creating a lot of articles for members of the APS, so this advice may be applicable to many of your creations. If you're creating a whole set of articles it's good to get things right: there's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing.
And while I was looking at George Wall I wasn't at all sure whether membership of the APS was anything notable or not (I'm from the other side of the pond), so looked at the American Philosophical Society article and still wasn't clear, so read the APS website, and added a "Membership" section to that page and a note in the lead section - and then found some of the same info rather buried in the "History" section, so removed it from there. Pam D 20:04, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
I've just looked at one of your most recent article creations Samuel Williams (minister). I see you added him to the disambiguation page at Samuel Williams: well done. But there are a couple of points to make here:
I'm a bit disappointed that no-one else has had the helpfulness to point these two things out to you ... or that you haven't noticed the edits being made to your creations and got the message that way either! As I said above, there's a lot to learn. Happy Editing. Pam D 20:30, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
And then I looked at Frederick William von Marschall where I think APS gets his name wrong! See my talk page note. I was looking to see if you knew about adding redirects from shorter versions of names etc, but opened a can of worms here. Note also that Wikipedia doesn;t use slanted or curly apostrophes/quotes, only straight ones. Pam D 21:01, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
And have just played around a bit with
Nicholas Wall
Nicholas Way: the categories were again a bit odd: try to find categories for people - "Quakers by century" is a category of categories, not one for people. Section headings use lower case except for proper nouns ("Yellow fever" isn't a proper noun), and don't use ampersands or other abbreviations. Just lots of non-obvious things to learn, but if you're producing a lot of articles it's particularly useful to get things right first time to save work for other editors.
Please don't feel that I'm picking on you: having found George Wall with his non-standard disambiguation while stubsorting, I just kept coming across more bits of advice which I could usefully pass on. Happy Editing. Pam D 07:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC) (Typo Wall/Way fixed, 19:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC))
Hello, EMarkel-JoyetAPS,
Thank you for creating John Morris (physician).
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Insufficient references to satisfy notability. We need more.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}

Hallo, please remember to give an article a "References" section and add {{ reflist}}. You don't seem to have done so for either of today's creations, Henry Hill (colonial merchant) and John Baynton. It's also helpful to create the DEFAULTSORT so that in categories they file under their surname not their forename. I've sorted these out, and added Henry to Henry Hill (disambiguation), without which readers will struggle to find him.
If you're creating a large number of articles it's important to get these basics right. Thanks. Pam D 16:03, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
Is membership of the APS considered to confer notability, in the way that for an academic we have "The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) " in WP:NACADEMIC? If not (or even if so, really), then please try to assign each of them to a category such as Category:American physicians (or, better, Category:18th-century American physicians, Category:Physicians from Philadelphia etc) which indicates their field of notability, as well as their APS membership and birth and death date categories. Thanks. Pam D 16:17, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
The article Archibald Gamble has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
