::::{{U|Cordless Larry}}, that was an interesting exercise. It is no wonder I did not find these books on Hathitrust, because virtually all of them have been written in the 20th and 21st centuries, so the contents are copyrighted and only snippet views available. Really frustrating because a few of them would have been fascinating for me to read. I think they all relate to "the" Hicks family, in one way or another, which shows that they will always be integral to the history of America. I haven't, however, found the "golden nugget" which would change the situation on Wikipedia. I still think it is sad that such outstanding bravery is considered to be of no value whatsoever.

::::::A kind thought. I did check on this one ''Brunswick County, Virginia, 1720-1975'', but the answer was 'not available'. The sad fact is that this family were very involved in all aspects of life in New York, and the Southern States, in particular. I must console myself that they are mentioned here!

MNWiki845 You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Please read the comments left by reviewers; unreleased films rarely merit articles, see WP:NFF.

Hi Tdc-12. Most companies are not notable (not suitable subjects for encyclopedia articles). You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. Edit other topics. See Wikipedia:Community portal if you aren't sure how to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:14, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I received this morning the following message, allegedly from a Wikipedia address.

Is this message legitimate, or is it a fraud?

10:49:37, 7 March 2022 review of submission by Dravis williams


my draft Draft:PERICENT has been decline due to promotional , may i know in which section it look like promotional Dravis williams (talk) 10:49, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dravis williams The entire thing. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company and what it does. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company- and not based on any materials put out by the company like press releases or the mere reporting of its activities- showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please read Your First Article.
If you are associated with this company, please read about conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 10:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

12:44:29, 7 March 2022 review of draft by George.kvakovszky


From content creator George.kvakovszky Monday March 7, 2022

As content creator, I object to the decision to delete the wikipedia entry ‘Bernard Parham’. I am afraid Crisco 1492, et al. have missed the point regarding Bernard Parham’s notability. Nobody claimed that the sequence of moves 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 had never been played before. Given enough time, a monkey typing at a keyboard, would reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. The point is that Bernard Parham took an obscure, discredited opening and played it during his entire chess career against Master level opposition, with success.

Parham’s maximum USCF rating was over 2300, which is International Master level, and he did this by playing the Parham Attack exclusively as White. Parham was also awarded the National Master title in 2002 by USCF. By the way, nobody in the world calls this opening the Danvers Opening. It is referred to, in over two hundred counties, as the Parham Attack. Deleting the entry ‘Bernard Parham’ would be a travesty, sham and a mockery. As content creator, it is my considered judgment that this entry is well referenced, and marking it as draft is also a mistake. This article should be restored as a wikipedia entry in its original format. Moreover, the Wikipedia entry ‘Danvers Opening’ should be renamed/redirected to the new entry ‘Parham Attack’.


George.kvakovszky (talk) 12:44, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@George.kvakovszky: the page that you created has not been deleted, it has just been moved to a draft. The editor who moved it expressed concerns that you are an undisclosed paid editor and/or have a conflict of interest. The draft will have to go through the AfC process before it is accepted. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 13:54, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an undisclosed paid editor and I do not have a conflict of interest. I am a volunteer contributor and I am retired. I am not related to Bernard parham (who is Black), while I am very much Caucasian, in fact my father was born in the Caucasus mountains of the Ukraine. I am an FIDE rated chess player andd found it curious, bizarre and quirky that wikipedia refers to the 'Parham Attack' as the 'Danvers Opening'
. This obscure opening was popularized by Bernard parham of Indianapolis. its i9s known as the parham Attack in at least two hundred countries in the World. Infinity years of competitive chess I have never hear anyone refer to this opening as the Danvers Opening. NationalChessMaster Bernard parham is one of very few living players who has a chess opening named after him. The majority are Russian. I am not aware of any other living US chess player who has this distinction George.kvakovszky March 7, 2022 George.kvakovszky (talk) 00:05, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

19:00:45, 7 March 2022 review of submission by Obyno2020


The editor claims that the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notablity standard, this is not true as the subject is widely known in Nigeria as has been verified by Facebook and Instagram.

Obyno2020 (talk) 19:00, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Obyno2020: "Widely known in a region" - i.e. fame/infamy - does not equal notability as Wikipedia defines it. Especially so on social media, which is very much gameable. Refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
None of your sources are any good; the reject looks perfectly justifiable to me. Since it's been brought up in the reviewer notes, what is your connexion to her? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback. I have no connexions to her. I am interested in documenting notable figures from South East Nigeria. I will look for more independent sources and revert. Obyno2020 (talk) 21:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@EdwinKibs: Please refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
In sum, none of your sources are any good, and none of your edits have added any sort of source we can use. The rejection seems perfectly fine to me. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 21:00, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


22:33:56, 7 March 2022 review of submission by Sungwoo-Yang


I'm trying to create a Wiki page for Chattanooga Solar Decathlon team, but it was declined. There is a wiki page for Illinois Solar Decathlon team, and I'm not sure what are key differences from theirs and our team. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Draft:Chattanooga Solar Decathlon

Illinois Solar Decathlon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sungwoo-Yang (talk • contribs) 22:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sungwoo-Yang I have fixed your links to proper internal links, the whole URL is unnecessary. Wikipedia does not have "wiki pages", it has articles. Beware in using other articles as a model unless they are classified as good articles. It could be that the other articles are also inappropriate- as I think is the case here. The article you cite has similar problems to your draft. An article about your organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. 331dot (talk) 22:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted my draft but was declined. So can you help me with what changes do I have to make or what is the problem which is happening?

Yojana Mohata (talk) 00:22, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy link. @Yojana Mohata: your draft was declined because most of the references are not reliable. Twitter, Youtube, and Wikipedia usually shouldn't be used as sources, and most of the rest of the citations are primary sources. Please remove those references and replace them with things such as in-depth news articles on the topic. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 00:31, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

00:39:24, 8 March 2022 review of submission by FearGame


FearGame (talk) 00:39, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Im going to make it opinion-less and less promotional. Also, Im including many more links to make it notable.

Does anything in particular bother you?

00:44:05, 8 March 2022 review of submission by Tyscutist18

The organization is known for its services and reference links are proving the same. The idea or intention of this information will not bring business to the organization, instead, prove the existence of the organization. There is no intention of advertisement there, in the article was written with the existing page on Wikipedia. Tyscutist18 (talk) 00:44, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tyscutist18 Wikipedia is not for documenting the mere existence of an organization, that is considered promotional here. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. 331dot (talk) 01:05, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining. How do I go about it? Can you guide me? Tyscutist18 (talk) 10:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tyscutist18 First, if you are associated with this organization, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID for information on required formal disclosures.(being an employee counts as being paid even if you have not been specifically paid or asked to edit). If you are associated with this organization, I advise you against proceeding; in my experience organization representatives are far too close to their organization to be able to edit about their organization as Wikipedia requires. The best indicator that a company meets the definition of a notable company is if independent editors take note of the company's coverage in independent reliable sources and choose on their own to write about it. Trying to force the issue does not often work.
If you still want to proceed, please read Your First Article as well as the definition of a notable organization to see if your company meets it. Then- while setting aside everything you know about the organization and all materials put out by the it- gather at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage of your company, that was not prompted by the organization or based on information fed by the organization(such as press releases, interviews with staff, announcements of routine activities). Any article about your organization must summarize these sources. If you wish to find out before attempting to write about the organization, you can put your three best independent reliable sources here and we can tell you if they actually establish that your organization is notable. 331dot (talk) 10:46, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

03:01:44, 8 March 2022 review of submission by DingoPuppy3

Because of her many contributions to the writing culture of America, Bernadette Baran is significant. This article is being added simply to enhance the database of Wikipedia and not for personal or advertisement purposes. The nature of this article directly aligns with the spirit of Wikipedia. Please reconsider adding this so as to educate the people. Thank you for your time. DingoPuppy3 (talk) 03:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DingoPuppy3 Your draft was rejected, and will not be considered further. You offer nothing other than her personal website. A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources state about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person or a notable creative professional. If you just want to tell the world about her, you should use social media or a website with less stringent requirements where that is permitted. 331dot (talk) 10:50, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

04:10:59, 9 March 2022 review of submission by Johnmclane2

Hello, this article got declined and the tag said to ask for help here, without any other explanation and also I was not given a chance to resubmit again. First, I am a paid editor hired by the subject to help him and I have already disclosed my association. Second, as the subject has explained to me and as you can see from the history, the page was declined before and deleted in AFD, but this version of the page is completely different, much improved and he has had many new articles about him since 2020, so the page should not be solely declined based on the past AFD and should be looked at from scratch. Please let me know if someone can review it and tell me what the issues are. Subject has over 50 citations used here, and probably at least 30+ more that I didn't use. Johnmclane2 (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC) Johnmclane2 (talk) 04:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also would like to add that he meets WP:ENT due to several main roles on several TV shows, as follows:
Catfish on MTV
Dating #NoFilter on E! and VH1
Phone Swap on FOX
Women of Wrestling, Several episodes on AXS TV
Magic For Humans on Netflix
Face the Truth on NBC
Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez on Court TV
Investigating Free Money on FOX

Most of the sources are of unknown provenance, and the two that aren't are a (walled) interview (connexion to subject) and a Google search (too sparse). None of the proffered external links are any good as sources, either. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 03:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My article about the band, Tinman Jones was denied and I was asked to come here for the reason why. Loljack1 (talk) 04:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Loljack1 The reason for the decline was given by the reviewer at the top of your draft. You offer only the band website as a source, that is not acceptable as it is a primary source. A Wikipedia article about a band must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own(not based on materials put out by the band like interviews, press releases, announcements) to say about the band, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable band. Please read Your First Article. If there are no independent reliable sources with significant coverage that discuss the band, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Not every band does. 331dot (talk) 11:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

14:52:57, 10 March 2022 review of draft by Rillington


Rillington (talk) 14:52, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that yet again my article about West Wolds Radio has been rejected and no matter what I do it continues to be rejected.

First i was told that my references were not acceptable so i find additional independent references, this time from articles about the station in the local printed media. However I am still being told that the references do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Given that my references are about the subject and published in reliable independent sources I do not understand why they are deemed unacceptable.

I also do not understand why talking about the opening and closure of the station makes it not notable. Writing about the history of the station is surely an important part of any article? Plus most other articles about radio stations do not go into detail about programming but these articles aren't coming up against this level of opposition.

Please can I receive genuine help with this article and not have it rejected on what seems to be opinion, and for ever more petty and spurious reasons, rather than a breach of rules as frankly I am starting to feel that an example is being made out of me and this article given that no matter what I do it keeps getting rejected. Rillington (talk) 14:52, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rillington I would correct you in that your draft was only declined, not rejected. Rejection would mean it could not be resubmitted. The problem with your sources is not the sources themselves, but their content. They only discuss routine business activities, which does not establish that the radio station meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is looking for significant coverage in independent reliable sources; coverage that goes beyond merely documenting the existence of the topic or its routine activities. What makes this radio station important?(rhetorical question) Mere existence is not enough. If it had a notable impact on its community, then the draft should primarily summarize and cite sources that discuss that community impact(did it influence government policies? Cause more businesses to open in town? things like that). If no independent reliable sources discuss that impact, the station would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. If you just want to document the existence of the station and tell the world about it, you should use social media, your own website, or other forum with less stringent requirements.
Please read other stuff exists. The existence of or content of other articles has no bearing on your draft. Each is considered on their own merits. It is probably true that other articles on radio stations have inappropriate content or are entirely inappropriate. This is a volunteer effort with people doing what they can, when they can, and as such it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. We can only address what we know about. If you would like to help us out in managing the over six million articles there are, feel free to identify other articles that do not meet guidelines for possible action. We could use the help, and it would be appreciated.
You are not being singled out here. There are numerous draft submissions every day from thousands of people, and thousands of drafts awaiting review, many of which will be treated the same. 331dot (talk) 15:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for a most helpful reply. I appreciate that it's a tough job for 1,000 administrators to patrol a project with over six millions articles but i do feel as though this, and two other articles - Morning Edition and Five Aside - have fallen foul of frankly rather tight rules despite providing good, reliable sources and when this keeps happening it becomes upsetting as it makes people like me feel as though my efforts aren't appreciated and that no matter how hard i try to obey these rules, I keep having articles effectively rejected. Rillington (talk) 16:05, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note that all editors manage articles, not just admins. Those two drafts you mention are each sourced to nothing but BBC websites, which are not independent sources. Some topic areas (like radio or news programs) are difficult to write about, as news/broadcasting organizations do not often write about each other. 331dot (talk) 17:18, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

17:08:33, 10 March 2022 review of submission by Liptapp

Can you help me solve the issue about publishing my article it says it appears to read more like an advertisement. But it is not an advertisement. Liptapp (talk) 17:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is absolutely an advertisement! “The mattresses are sold with a 101-night sleep trial, lifetime warranty, and mattress financing options.”

“The Puffy Lux Hybrid Mattress has six layers, including a patented stain-resistant cloud cover and contour-adapt coil technology.” “The original Puffy Mattress has five layers of memory foam, including the Cooling Cloud Foam.” “All products are sold online.” etc etc This is all just advertising and has no place on Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 17:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Liptapp: I would agree it looks like an advertisement. Please keep in mind that advertisement wording in Wikipedia does not necessarily mean you are trying to sell something. It can mean that the wording used in the page is of a tone used to tout the subject of the page, specifically by using language typical of advertising. As an example, "The Puffy Lux is also ranked first as the best-rated mattress by online mattress review company Best Mattress Online," is the type of language that the company would care about but isn't something that the reader of an encyclopedia cares about. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:56, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 I really appreciate your findings this is the first time I created an article, I will fix those content. Also I have a question the logo I use is from Puffy itself and it is flag as copyright, can you help me to fix the copyright issue with the logo I upload. Thanks Liptapp (talk) 04:28, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Theroadislong Thank you for your review I will fix the content, I really appreciate your findings this is the first time I created an article. Also I have a question the logo I use is from Puffy itself and it is flag as copyright how can I solve that issue as well can you help me. Thanks Liptapp (talk) 04:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41 I'm not getting paid for this article and I'm not related or any of my family to Puffy. Liptapp (talk) 04:53, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41What if they will approach me and ask me for editing and there will be compensation? Liptapp (talk) 05:00, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why would they? Theroadislong (talk) 13:11, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I know I am not WP:AGF here, but I simply don't believe that someone would come to Wikipedia simply to write a promotional article about a pillow company without having some connection to it. I normally offer a lot of help to people who have a WP:COI but at this point I will say you will need to gain the WP:CIR on your own to clean up the draft. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

17:30:56, 10 March 2022 review of submission by Macquigg

I got a message: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." with no further explanation. I can only guess that the sources were not acceptable, because they are documents published by the company producing the reactor. This will be true for all the articles on different reactors I would like to submit. There is no other reliable source of information on these reactors. Can we make these articles less about a specific design? I don't think so. To provide definitive answers to questions raised by the anti-nuclear community, we really need to see the details of each design. Then if there is still controversy, the issue can be settled with a quick point-counterpoint on the discussion page. A good example is the question about vulnerability of MSRs (Molten Salt Reactors) to diversion of nuclear material. The Union of Concerned Scientists has stated that ALL MSRs are vulnerable, due to on-site fuel processing. See the Talk page on this article for the response from the designer of this reactor. Can we get someone from the Engineering group to weigh in on this? David MacQuigg 17:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Macquigg:, thanks for the question. The comment left by Nirmaljoshi is that the sources need to be WP:I. In order to show notability, the sources must be independent. Using a self-published source to explain or show certain items within the draft is acceptable (depending), but the independent sources are needed to show why the topic qualifies for a Wikipedia page. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:50, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 Thanks for your prompt reply. I am still confused, however. The comment by Nirmaljoshi was that the article didn't have reliable sources. Where can we find more reliable information on the details of each reactor design? There is no better source than the spec sheets and other documents on the websites of these companies. I understand that there may be some claim that this information is not reliable, but I know of no better source. Perhaps we should say this in the article - "The company claims that their reactor can follow changes in loading at a rate of 5% per minute." and then link to their spec sheet.
I don't know what you mean by a "self-published source". I have no connection with ThorCon Inc, or any of the companies producing the new generation of reactors that claim to solve all the problems with safety, waste management, weapons proliferation, and cost. I have no self-promotion motive in writing these articles. I just want to provide a shorter path for others who are where I was a few months ago, just waking up to the possibility that nuclear fission could be the solution to our global warming problem.
There are plenty of general sources on nuclear reactor design, but they don't provide the details needed to answer the questions coming up in discussions on FaceBook and other social media. I've given two examples - diversion of material from an MSR, and load following. Another that came up on FaceBook this morning - the difficulty of reprocessing spent fuel. I responded with a link to a video on another MSR design (not ThorCon). These discussions can go unresolved forever, if we don't have specific designs to look at. That is the purpose of these articles - one for every new design, showing the details (as stated by the companies producing these reactors), and collecting the critical information in a consistent format, so we can compare one design to another.
Please find someone with an interest in nuclear engineering to review this submission and give specific feedback, not just a template response. David MacQuigg 02:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is not our job to "find someone with an interest in nuclear engineering" to review the submission. In fact, that is an argument from authority and it wouldn't make any difference since such person who have to evaluate the draft based on Wikipedia guidelines, not their knowledge of the topic. What is comes down to is FIRST showing that the topic is notable. In order to do so, you must show they have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You will find the answers to most of your questions at those links. If such sources don't exist, then it would not meet the notability guidelines for Wikipedia and a page cannot be created. Only AFTER notability is established should we discuss what claims can be made to secondary or primary sources and whether it would be okay to say the "company claims...", etc. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I want to point out that the reviewer left the notificaiton of it needing more reliable sources, but the comment states specifically "Comment: Please add independent sources."--CNMall41 (talk) 03:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 Thank you for the clarification on requirements for independent sources on these new designs. I will check with the companies producing these reactors and see if any such sources exist. My guess is that there are only videos and discussions in forums like FaceBook that may be challenged as unreliable. This puts new reactor designs at a disadvantage in the misinformation war, but that is perhaps a better topic to discuss in another forum. Thank you and @Nirmaljoshi for all your help. I will withdraw the submission. David MacQuigg 12:23, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a forum for clarifying misinformation. Wikipedia is here to summarize what is said in reliable sources. Withdrawing the submission is likely the best option if there are no independent reliable source to who its notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 I contacted ThorCon, and they suggested I use as sources the documents they filed with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). These provide a tremendous amount of detail on reactor designs, and are thoroughly reviewed before publication. They are also more tedious reading than the documents on the company websites. So there is a choice, and I will go with your recommendation. On statements where there might be a challenge, I can cite the IAEA docs. On statements that really shouldn't be challenged, and the reader just wants a little more detail, I can cite the more readable sources. I can also put both citations on each statement, as I have done in references [16][17]. Please look at these two, and let me know if I am on the right track. I will then make all the changes before re-submitting the article and contacting other companies for similar official documents.
I appreciate your efforts in this initial screening process, and I apologize if I seemed impatient or unclear as to my motive in requesting review by someone with an interest in nuclear engineering. I am definitely NOT intending to make an "argument from authority". I am not familiar with Wikipedia's process, and I mistakenly assumed that this was an automated rejection of a high-quality article on an important topic. I will be more patient with the initial screening and welcome later reviews by people with more expertise in this topic. David MacQuigg 00:09, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing an article on Common Good, which is a non-profit I am working for and overseeing the member relations and development. I was wondering if a coverage by WEMU radio (Eastern Michigan Public Radio Station) would make the organization a valid entry. It is an interview, so someone from the organization is talking about it, but it is a regional outlet so I wanted to ask about it regardless.

Hello! I am wondering how I can amend my draft to make it read less as a promotional/advertisement style page or resume. I was considering if it might be wise to remove the section that lists out all of the talks that Ross has participated in, particularly because that doesn't seem to be backed by a lot of secondary sources and is mostly backed by primary sources such as Facebook events and Google Calendar events from the respective organizations.

Also, I was hoping for some guidance as to how I can resolve the issue of overlinking! I went back and tried to remove some and make it a little cleaner, but I'm not sure how much that changed it.

Thank you to anyone who can provide some further guidance and advice! :-)

00:12:36, 12 March 2022 review of submission by Mohsman


I have tried to publish a page for the American Society For Mohs Surgery (ASMS). There are currently two major Mohs surgery societies in the USA. The other group, the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS), already has a Wikipedia page. So, I modeled the draft for the ASMS almost exactly the same as the ACMS article. Indeed, several of the secondary references are the same.

Almost immediately, it was rejected because the references " they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Yet, the references are in some cases identical and in all cases of the same significant coverage as the ACMS. Yet, the Wikipedia "Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)" guidelines says this does not apply to "non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams."

The ASMS is of nearly identical membership size and influence as the ACMS within the profession of dermatology. Please advise what additional references I can provide to prove "notability" as the secondary references already supplied would seem to be sufficient.

Thanks Mohsman (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mohsman (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mohsman Please see other stuff exists. The existence of other articles has no bearing on what happens to your draft. It could be that this other article is also inappropriate and simply has not been addressed yet(I may look at it after I post here). As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. We can only address what we know about.
The ACMS does not "have a Wikipedia page" here. Wikipedia has an article about the ACMS. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about an organization and what it does. A Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. A professional association is not a non-profit educational institution(which is mostly high schools/universities) so it must meet that criteria. If no independent sources give the organization significant coverage, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time(even if another similar organization might). 331dot (talk) 00:50, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see some of the same problems with the ACMS article. I have marked it as problematic. I would advise against using other articles as a model unless they are classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 00:54, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi
thanks for your explanation. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
The reason I noted the ACMS article is that their structure and function is nearly identical, and Mohs surgeons are often members of one or both. That is why I patterned the ASMS article on the ACMS one.
Thanks for the clarification on non-profits. I'm very new at editing pages and am clearly still on the steep portion of the curve.

Anne (talk) 09:53, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


May I have a second opinion, based on my "comment" following Clarityfiend's rejection? I would add, having studied the American Revolution for many years, I know for a fact that hundreds (thousands?) of Revolutionary War records have been lost or destroyed - especially, and particularly, where Militia officers are concerned. Robert Hicks did not claim a pension. Pension records are one of few surviving records for Militiamen, hence there are scarce sources for this particular officer. Mrs Cicero W. Harris makes the point that she has based her biographies on oral history passed down to her by the people who knew her subjects in their lifetimes. She thought Robert Hicks worthy of being her first-mentioned subject. This can be verified in her opening paragraph [1]. Could Cordless Larry comment, having suggested to me that I write this short article? Anne (talk) 09:53, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even in these better documented times, it is hard for a soldier to warrant an article. Just being brave isn't enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:15, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You downgrade him further by calling him a "soldier", Clarityfiend. He was an officer. There are articles on Wikipedia for officers who have done less - qualifying simply because they were officers. Anne (talk) 10:32, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Who for example? (Also, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a valid argument.) Clarityfiend (talk) 10:35, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I came here for a "second opinion" Clarityfiend and yet you continue to express yours, which are known. I hope Cordless Larry will comment, since the article was written at his suggestion. He congratulated me; thought it would be accepted, but perhaps needed tweaking (without giving me specifics). Anne (talk) 10:56, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not blocking you from getting a second or third opinion. I'm just trying to help you understand why this man does not satisfy our notability standards (WP:GNG, WP:BIO). I'm afraid Cordless Larry has raised false hopes. If you check Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by article count, you will see that he doesn't appear on it. I, on the other hand, have created 3070 pages. But since you are offended by my efforts, I will cease and desist. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Had you "turned down" the AfC in pleasant terms, with some thought to the feelings of the creator - indeed, much more so, the subject ('Tis well that a State should often be reminded of her great citizens.) - I would probably have left it at that. But you chose wording which did, indeed, "offend me". Furthermore Clarityfiend, you demean Cordless Larry, who is as first-class Administrator and also a volunteer who replies to the millions of emails sent in by members of the public, and Wikipedians. I can only imagine that leaves him little time for more than his full time job. Anne (talk) 11:16, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I vaguely remember discussing this but I can't find that discussion now, Arbil44. I see that Rusalkii previously suggested that Hicks might be notable but that more coverage was needed. Are all the sources you can find now cited in the draft? Cordless Larry (talk) 12:11, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cordless Larry, your comments were in an email, last year. Your suggestion was, I think, on the talk page of the Battle of Guildford Courthouse, or the wp article for a descendant of Hicks - whose name now escapes me. I will try to find your email again and email it back! However, the article is as sourced as it is possible for me to make it. I have explained that it would have been helpful had Hicks claimed a pension, but he didn't - the family was very wealthy, and I believe such families did not claim pensions. Anne (talk) 12:49, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You might be confusing me with Spencer at Talk:James W. Crawford Jr.#Ancestor of James Crawford, Arbil44. In any case, it doesn't really matter who suggested it - that doesn't really come into the notability question. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:03, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have found the email in which you made comments about the article and have returned it to you. Thank you for the reminder of James W. Crawford's name, which had escaped me, but as your email will attest, I am not confusing you with anyone else. Anne (talk) 13:08, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see from what you sent me that I congratulated you on creating the draft, which isn't quite the same as suggesting that you write it. But none of this really helps the matter at hand, which is whether the draft is acceptable. Can other reviewers comment on that, please? Cordless Larry (talk) 13:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A review of the sources, Wheeler- good source, Torch Light - Assuming the transcription is true and accurate, appears to be a good source(partisan paper of its time but that's not disqualifying). Its a good start but then you get to Spangler, Dar, Hicks, & Mayflower, none of which can contribute to notability. They prove existence, but existence is not notability. The lack of a third secondary source makes me agree that the subject does not meet the notability guidelines.Slywriter (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thank you Cordless Larry! The first thing I did was to contact the people in Granville County (---@granvillecounty.org) and asked them if there were any sources of information about the Hicks family. The man in question was a close personal friend of James W. Crawford, so I thought I was right where I needed to be. But I was told a resounding "no" (other than the sources I have used) so, thinking I had gone to the horse's mouth, I only searched Hathitrust, but not Google books. I have my time cut out for me now, looking through that lot! I am so grateful to you for this help. Anne (talk) 02:17, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cordless Larry, that was an interesting exercise. It is no wonder I did not find these books on Hathitrust, because virtually all of them have been written in the 20th and 21st centuries, so the contents are copyrighted and only snippet views available. Really frustrating because a few of them would have been fascinating for me to read. I think they all relate to "the" Hicks family, in one way or another, which shows that they will always be integral to the history of America. I haven't, however, found the "golden nugget" which would change the situation on Wikipedia. I still think it is sad that such outstanding bravery is considered to be of no value whatsoever. Today, he would have been awarded the Victoria Cross. Please would you delete the draft and send it to its Wikipedia graveyard since I would like to put this chapter firmly behind me now? Many thanks. Anne (talk) 11:58, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Before requesting deletion of the article, Arbil44, you might want to check whether any of the books are available to borrow electronically here, Arbil44, in case it helps you find something not visible via Google Books. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:06, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A kind thought. I did check on this one Brunswick County, Virginia, 1720-1975, but the answer was 'not available'. The sad fact is that this family were very involved in all aspects of life in New York, and the Southern States, in particular. I must console myself that they are mentioned here! ferry operation But the "outstanding" event was the act of bravery at Guildford Court House. This is of no interest to Wikipedia. This, plus the long wait, has been stressful for me, so I would like to put an end to it now, but thank you for your (as always) practical help. Anne (talk) 12:24, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear, Team Why did you decline the page I created?

Mytom3 The reason for the decline was left by the reviewer at the top of the draft. Please review it, and the policies linked to therein, carefully, as well as Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The citations mentioned include links to reputable sources, including a full writeup on Microsoft News specifically about 57Digital. But for some reason, the wikipedia page was rejected due to "mentions in passing". However, the sources are products created by 57Digital, and a full biography news article.

An interview(the Microsoft News source you mention) is not acceptable, as it is a primary source. Sources must have significant coverage of the company itself, not just its products. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 00:08, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my article on the most popular testing framework in Python (programming language) Draft:Pytest was declined for lack of secondary sources. The reviewer gave some suggestions afterwards on my talk page, and I followed them by adding more sources, including two more published books. I think the article is in very good shape now, but the previous reviewer seems unreachable. Please help review this article and any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
