Hello, Jackiewaldan! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Thanks so much for your review Kylie! I've updated the article with reference citations as well as external links.

For the Wildlife Photographer Of The Year Bird Category Winners column in the table, most of the winners can be verified via the column header citation, except for the year of 2022 and 2023, so I added links for these two years in the table.

For Bird Photographer Of The Year winners, the link at the winner column header has all the grand prize winners.

For Audubon grand prize winners, they don't have a single page, so I added links for each year's winner.

Hope that's what you needed. Please let me know if I missed anything else. Thanks again for your time and expertise! Jackiewaldan (talk) 17:03, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi, sorry but to be fair to all submitters I don't review/re-review on request, however there are two obvious issues. Firstly Wikipedia cannot be used as a source, you need to use any source directly or just link to articles like I did for some and you removed. Secondly you have reintroduce two errors I removed: you cannot have inline external links in the main article and you have re-introduced the non sources for the media coverage just linking to the organisation websites rather than actual sources for the claims.

Thank you so much, Kylie! I didn't realize you had made corrections (I thought I messed it up). I have put them back. Also I took out the general organization websites and replace them with links to actual media coverage of the awards. Jackiewaldan (talk) 01:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
