I am requesting help to better understand which type of sources would be best suited when creating a new article. Dear 48JCL, thank you so much for reviewing this one – and I am admittedly new here. I am a researcher in the DBS field and can say with confidence that Dr. Lozano is among the top five most famous people in this field, most cited neurosurgeon world-wide, etc. In your assessment, please also see Wikipedia:Notability (academics) – in which he would check many of the boxes. To name one example, the Olivecrona award is the highest honor given to neurosurgeons, world-wide. I also did include many references that cover his work prominently (e.g. the article in the independent). But as an academic, the weight on news-stories is not as high as e.g. awards, achievements, contributions to the field, etc. To help me better understand things: Would you be able to give some examples of sources that would convince you more that Dr. Lozano is a highly notable neuroscientist? Would news-stories about him be better or citation records? Would scientific articles help? For his case, everything is available (he even inspired a Dr. House episode). Since I'm new, I just don't know what you would find most convincing. Thank you so much for further help on this!

I saw your nomination for the Botswana article, and I figured I'd share my thoughts on it. Right now, I'm hoping to get all of its most important sub-articles to GA. Right now we're at:
My plan is to get each of these to GA one at a time, and then to rework each section of the main country's article based on what I find working on these sub-articles. I've already finished the Politics article, and I rewrote most of the politics section in Botswana's article to reflect it a while back. I'm pretty much good to go on the history article. Once it's in a state I'm happy with, I want to rewrite the main article's history section using those same sources, because right now it's really unbalanced and needs some work. Since you're also interested in this article, I wondered if you had any thoughts on this.

The article Three Dikgosi Monument you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Three Dikgosi Monument and Talk:Three Dikgosi Monument/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hey, I noticed you accepted this AfC Haliey Welch 7 hours ago, but my draft on the subject already existed, and was declined 17 hours ago. Further, the edit history shows and proves that my article Draft:Hailey Welch, was created first, before the draft that you accepted. Please help, as the draft you accepted was not supposed to be a candidate for AfC as my draft already existed and had been submitted.
