00:21:14, 27 February 2021 review of draft by Fitwrite


Hi, This is a summary to address all the comments about requirements needed to get my article Anonymous Personal Sex Blogging published, including the important General Notability Guidelines criteria to meet notability, as discussed by @NovemLinguae. I will work to vastly re-write the article to make it acceptable in the ways outlined below. Please let me know, have I have missed any important re-write guidelines so I can do a good job and the next submission for review will end in publishing?!

The reviewer Bkissin had originally said that in the draft submission “references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article that is, they do not show significant coverage…about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent.” However this reviewer on the help desk page later conceded that the issues with the article were more to do with it being original research.

In dealing with this issue I will refer to the article meeting General Notability Guidelines criteria to meet notability, as later discussed by @NovemLinguae . Novem Linguae said for General Notability Guidelines it would help if I could provide 3 reference sources from the article that use the exact term Anonymous Personal Sex Blog and have a few paragraphs of content about this subject. Now the concept of the Anonymous Personal Sex Blog is used in the sources but it is hard to find a source that coins the exact term “Anonymous Personal Sex Blog. " For example, the sources may discuss the concept or the actual manifestation of an anonymous blog with personal writing including about sex. I have listed below 7 sources used in my article that do provide a meeting of notability guidelines. It becomes plainly evident in reading these 7 listed secondary sources, four academic journals and three published books, that they are studying, as part or all of their study focus, blogs that are either all anonymous or some are anonymous and are personal, including ones all about sex or about sex and other subjects. Formality of this ruling could be furthered by considering under Subject-Specific Notability Guidelines because the subject is in the field of computer and Internet studies and further specifically anonymous personal sex blogging is a new Internet phenomenon emerging in the 2000s, then there is not 100s of years of notable research; then possibly the subject needs different criteria in considering notability. A further point is, I had submitted the draft to the reviewer with the title “Anonymous Personal Sex Blogging”, i.e. the act of creating blogs. However someone or possibly the “magic of wiki A.I.” had made the decision to revert the draft to one with an earlier title of “Anonymous Personal Sex Blog. " In studying the subject carefully as I did, one will notice that there is far more research about the act of blogging in this specific way than about the actual self-contained Anonymous Personal Sex Blogs. This is because there is much blogging done on social media platforms such as Twitter, and on date sites where the blogging occurs not on a blog but on a platform for blogging or computer communication. I think that using either title, the criteria for notability is met but there are more sources for the Anonymous Personal Sex Blogging compared to for the Anonymous Personal Sex Blog. A case in point is: Lloyd, C.E.M., Finn, M.D. (2017). Authenticity, validation and sexualisation on Grindr: An analysis of trans women’s accounts. Psychology & Sexuality, 8(1-2), 158-169. doi: 10.1080 / 19419899.2017.1316769, which is a source for Anonymous Personal Sex Blogging rather than for Anonymous Personal Sex Blog. I provide this example because there seemed to be some question about whether there were three notability sources so, every example for the case may help. I have listed 7 further examples of sources for this notability criteria, (for the Anonymous Personal Sex Blog title), as follows, and I can easily provide more, out of the 70 references, if it comes to that, and if there is still a question of the very existence of the article on wiki):

Note the links are from my research data records and are not often in the article references. I cited everything using APA style before I learnt to wiki mark-up the references in to wiki. Now I realise the wiki system seems to favor providing links for all references. Is this necessary? I could probably find links for most of the 70 references if I had to but it would be a lot of work to code them all in. Also because I did not use paywalled databases a lot of my research involved downloading pdfs of journals which then have no link, and then the link is to the database entry or abstract and not to the journal itself. Then technically wiki readers cannot easily access the research from my references. To change this I would basically have to start the research from scratch again, gain access to paywalled sites and write a different article, making futile my months labour to write this complex highly researched article. I hope this is not required. Of course newspapers often do have links and the books have links to Google Books but it is rare, I would have thought to be able to provide a link to a full book with all pages accessible, so for references to books, wiki users are usually not going to get links to specific pages within a book anyway.

Does this meets the criteria for notability for the subject?

Next the reviewer and another reviewer who made comments had mentioned that I should summarise the topic, create a precis, write about it from a neutral point of view and have no original research, use mostly secondary sources, use primary sources only backed up by secondary and a few tertiary sources (eg. Britannica); and not contain opinions; and not draw my own conclusions in summarizing, just report what the secondary sources say.

In writing this way I should write in an encyclopedic style and consider what wiki is intended to be used for, to make my article integrate into the wikipedia general content. I will vastly re-write the entire article to change it from an essay or thesis to a wikipedia entry.

Does this sound acceptable?

Other points also mentioned by others, but not, I do not think by reviewers, are: try to avoid content that is already in wikipedia and use only thumb size pictures. For the pictures, I have read on wiki that larger pictures are allowed, there is discussion on one wiki page about how to upload panaramic large pixel dimension photographs for a nice effect. My photos are a pleasant visual addition to help break up text and I took a lot of effort to find the 7 pictures and photographs which are encyclopedic in character, historical and so lending provenance (a wiki listed quality to have on a wiki article) to the article. The photographs and pictures are all carefully found in archive museum-like collections (none from social media or other questionable online sources), that definitely state the lack of specific copyright restrictions of either CC-BY or PDM. Further the “plates” are works of art in themselves and look good presented in large detailed form and give the article a more impressive book like quality. Then I do not see why I should have to reduce them to meagre thumbs. The case is not a big one and any reviewer can, in a few minutes add the “thumb" code to the wiki mark-up to change the pictures if this is a rule to get the article on wiki. As to the other point about overlap of content with other wiki articles. Wiki is a vast database and I would need a sophisticated algorithm on a mainframe computer to do a thorough search to ensure that every sentence in my article is not a repeat of ideas from another article. Since I do not have this computer capability I am unable to control for this. Further since wiki is being constantly edited then content overlaps must be being continually created and changed, out of anyone’s control. I think this more could be an “editor myth", that you have to cut out all overlapping content? Intuitively when I think of an encyclopedia I think of something that one never reads from cover to cover. If one looks up something in an encyclopedia is it not better to get a comprehensive coverage of the subject, which entails coverage of the basics that may also be written about elsewhere in the encyclopedia. At this point I will assume this is not an issue and will not try to write out potential guessed overlappping content from my article unless a reviewer tells me otherwise.

Please tell me now anything I have missed to ensure that I do a thoroughly job of re-writing the article so it is published, next.

Thank you, Fitwrite.

@Fitwrite: Hi there, did you mean to post this to the public AFC Help Desk? I note that in the reviewer comments, Novem Linguae suggested you address this at Draft talk:Anonymous personal sex blog. Also, the above is a lot for anybody to digest. You might consider paring it down to the most relevant points, but that's just my two cents. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:00, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there are so many difference places to post questions and comments I am always confused at which to use. As long as people get the message and things are dealt with, it seems to me it does not matter too much where it is posted. I did send this message also to Novem linguae's talk page so I am sure they will address it when time. The message is also a general question to get everything in order and when someone can, I would be thankfull if it is answered as I am now already re-writing. Thank you, fitwrite — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fitwrite (talk • contribs) 05:06, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Hi, now you brought up the subject and out of curiosity at how messages work. I just went into draft talk for Anonymous Personal Sex Blog and there are no messages there; there were messages to me there earlier today so they must have been deleted, why is this? Anyway this basically means that if I had tried to address this with Novem Lingue in the draft talk for the article there would have been no message there for me to attach my reply to. Then how long would it take for someone to find it? Thank you, fitwrite — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fitwrite (talk • contribs) 05:13, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Hi, oh also about the suggestion to shorten my question, well the question is complex as writing a wiki article is complex, by definition. The question is necessary to be of that complexity to get the needed answers so to shorten it would only mean my questions would then not be properly answered. There is no deadline obviously and everything is dependent on much appreciated volunteers, so thank you, whenever someone gets to answering the questions.

12:21:11, 27 February 2021 review of submission by Chris Ash135

I recently created a page to cover my own history, in line with something numerous friends and colleagues appear to have done in the world of elite sport. The article was factual and relatively brief, partly to create some detail to link to another citation in a page about a major international hockey championship where I was awarded a prestigious award. I have since received information saying this article wouldn't be accepted. I am not sure why, and how other almost identical articles seem to exist for other people with very similar backgrounds?

Chris Ash135 (talk) 12:21, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Ash135, your article lacks inline citations as mentioned in my comments before, furthermore you need to disclose your Conflict of Interest - see WP:MINREF and [[WP:COI] and WP:NOTYOU. CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:27, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Ash135 (talk) 12:21, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Ash135 First, please see the autobiography policy. While not forbidden, writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, as people naturally write favorably about themselves. Your draft has no independent reliable sources to support its content. A Wikipedia article only summarizes what independent reliable sources say about a subject. Please review the policies described in the message declining your draft.
Also, note that as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about. Because of this, other similar articles existing does not automatically mean that yours can too. It could be that those other articles are inappropriate as well. Please see other stuff exists. 331dot (talk) 12:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

17:05:58, 27 February 2021 review of submission by 2A00:23C7:5A9C:3F01:244F:B58C:5990:AF1A


Paper.io doesn't have that much notability. That explains why there isn't a lot of references. However it is relatively popular. Note I play this game so these are in my words. This reads like an advertisement, though I wanted to separate everything so it would be easy to understand more. 2A00:23C7:5A9C:3F01:244F:B58C:5990:AF1A (talk) 17:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. If the subject does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources, it would not merit an article at this time. 331dot (talk) 17:16, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

22:43:06, 27 February 2021 review of draft by Stevenmitchell213


Can someone take a look at [[1]] and see if it is 'ripe' for publication?

Stevenmitchell213 (talk) 22:43, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Stevenmitchell213, please be patient - there are currently more than 4,000 articles waiting for a review, in the worst case it can take up several months. CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

22:59:42, 27 February 2021 review of submission by 174.255.129.84



Hello, why was my article declined? My colleague can write as neutral as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks174.255.129.84 (talk) 22:59, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How neutral can my colleague write about? Any suggestions? So I need to pull out my peer review reesearch articles as a reference for my existence? Thanks Dr. Robb Kelly (talk) 23:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Also do I need to add that I have worked with celebrities? I can name them and Dr. Robb Kelly (talk) 23:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Robb Kelly The best thing for you to do is not attempt to write about yourself; while not forbidden, it is strongly discouraged per the autobiography policy. To be successful in doing so, you need to forget everything you know about yourself and only write based on the content of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of you. You don't need to cite your mere existence, but summarize what independent sources say about you.
Be advised that a Wikipedia article about yourself is not necessarily desirable. 331dot (talk) 10:06, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

00:58:08, 28 February 2021 review of submission by Ksk8m


All credits are accurate and a reputable source. They have been verified by check stubs and upcoming celebrity blogs. Ksk8m (talk) 00:58, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ksk8m IMDB is not considered a reliable source here as it is user-editable. If this person is in the credits of the films they worked on, the film itself is sufficient as a source, but you offer no other independent reliable sources with significant coverage of Mr. Mardula. This is why your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. You seem to assert that he is notable because he worked with notable people; notability is not inherited by association. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please help me with this page, it got rejected as being promotional, there are no endorsements in it. It was intended to be informational, Thanks in advance SharpSeaHorse (talk) 12:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SharpSeaHorse On Wikipedia, there is no difference between "informational" and "promotional". Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a subject, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. Please see Your First Article for more information. Your draft offered no reliable sources at all and just told about the subject.
If you are associated with the subject, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 12:12, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My submission has been declined multiple times for 'submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia...'. Draft has been change 3 times and all link reference from independent, reliable and published sources. Can someone clarify what read like advertisement and how to improving draft? Thank you 171.98.76.84 (talk) 15:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be an advertisement because it does nothing other than tell of the existence of the company and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. The sources you offered seem to be announcements of routine business transactions, which do not establish notability. Please see Your First Article for more information.
If you work for this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 15:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

17:49:37, 28 February 2021 review of submission by Gaoyoude

Hello, I've been a registered Wikipedia user since 2010 with 96 live edits/0 deleted. I recently created my first article as an Autoconfirmed user. Within several minutes of publishing the page, another user, User:Lettler, moved the article to Draft space and then Afc. After some consideration, minor reworking of the article and investigation of User:Lettler, I would challenge the qualifications and motivation of Lettler to have interfered with my article creation. Since I would like to become more active in creating, reviewing and editing articles, I would appreciate a third-party review of this case. While I certainly welcome improvements to the article from the Wikipedia community, I'm quite sure that as it stands, the article meets the criteria for publication. I would like to move it to article space and would appreciate your review of this case. Thanks! Gaoyoude (talk) 17:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaoyoude: You make it sound like some sort of sinister conspiracy. As far as I can tell from looking at the version of the draft before it was moved, there is a lack of adequate sourcing consistent with our reliable sourcing guidelines and our General Notability Guideline. Of the sources that can be accessed on the internet this would be the only one that might qualify as reliable, although I am not an expert on what physics publications are considered reliable. I think most people who patrol newly created articles would have moved it to draft space as well. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate your taking the time to explain, didn't mean to come off as overly paranoid! I don't entirely understand/agree with your view of sourcing, will get back to you soon with my take when time permits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaoyoude (talk • contribs) 20:01, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

19:27:32, 28 February 2021 review of draft by Elron J


Hello, and thank you for your time. Could you help me understand why my recent Wiki edit was declined. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Elron J (talk) 19:27, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was declined because the references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Please note that press releases are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 19:39, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Shanaya Shukla is an Indian Author. This seventeen year girl has contributed her 7 books till now. She has been an inspiration among many youngster. would request you to re-review this and make suitable changes. Anamikana Rajwanti (talk) 06:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article has no sources. It is unlikely to be considered further by reviewers unless you can support the content with multiple, reliable, secondary sources in order to prove subject notability. If the subject is indeed notable, then I encourage you to find said sources, as Wikipedia is always in need of more female/non-anglophone biographies.

Golam Maruf Hassan You don't ask a question, but this is the English Wikipedia, contributions need to be in English.

Hi! I found this Youtube video demo that I found helpful to describe the service. Should I be including it as a citation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aRi3l5lUqA

I've also added German news sources. Could someone comment about whether the sources I've used fit the Wiki requirements? I've submitted other drafts, but since they haven't been approved, I don't know if I am going about it the right way. Thanks!

Marx J Engels (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Marx J Engels Sources that merely report a routine business transaction, such as the raising of capital or the purchase of a competitor, do not establish that this company meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable company. A Wikipedia article should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, not those that merely report actions of the company.

Hey!

I've just had a Wiki submission rejected, but I'm not sure why. The reason was "insufficient sources," but everything is properly cited to reliable sources. Could you possibly give me some more info on what I'm missing? Is there a specific part not referenced properly? An issue with my sources? Something else?

20:29:00, 1 March 2021 review of submission by Lakewood66


Hello, I've been working on the article above for several months, including with help from other Wikipedia editors such as Jimfbleak, who was incredibly helpful. I've worked to find sources that are independently edited such as Facility Executive magazine and Plastics Machinery magazine, which do not simply repurpose company-issued news releases, but, instead, pay editors to write and edit objective content. The latest comments about my article indicate that it reads like an advertisement. I've asked the most-recent reviewer, Firefly, what specifically I could do to the article to eliminate any advertising-like language. My concern is the article might be removed before Firefly has a chance to respond. So in the meantime, what might be done to eliminate advertising-like language in my article? Where is the advertising-like language in your opinion? And what concern is there regarding the sources? I'm not sure where in the current draft there is an advertorial feel, but I'm certainly willing and able to address it. Thank you. Lakewood66 (talk) 20:29, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so the draft was declined for two reasons - a tone closer to that of an advert or promotional piece, and not showing that the organisation is notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia. For the first point, I would suggest reading this section of the Manual of Style on encyclopedic tone, as well as perhaps some other Wikipedia articles about companies to get an idea of the tone and prose style we're looking for. As to the second point, the draft will need to show that the organisation meets our notability standards for companies. In short, we require significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, but I would recommend the following: read the full guide to notability for companies, identify the three best sources you have that show this company is notable, and post them on the Draft: talk page. Either I or another reviewer can then look to see whether we agree that the company is notable. I can say that I don't think any of the sources currently in the article will help, as most of them appear to be passing mentions of the company rather than in-depth articles about it. Hope this helps. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 15:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions ƒirefly. I will begin working on it. Lakewood66 (talk) 16:25, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to completely, thoroughly, totally, and permanently delete a Wikipedia account?

I think you want the main Help Desk- but to answer you, accounts cannot be deleted, for technical and legal reasons. If the account is in good standing(i.e. not blocked) a courtesy vanishing may be possible, which randomizes the account name(among other things) but it is not possible to completely remove an account from existence.

10:00:53, 3 March 2021 review of submission by R Ian Bowers


My draft article (Draft:William D. Timberlake) was rejected for a second time (with months delay between each) on the basis that the "submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"

This is patently not accurate. Ask any person in his field, and they will assure you of Timberlake's notability.

How am I to convince the wikipedia editors of this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by R Ian Bowers (talk • contribs) 10:39, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timberlake (i.e. the subject’s proper name) has become a keyword (e.g. [1]), an occasional section heading (e.g. [2]), and has appeared even in multiple titles (e.g. [3], [4], [5]). Bayes, Darwin, Tinbergen and a short list of others have this kind of recognition. The mere fact that his obituary appears in American Psychologist (APA’s centrepiece journal) says that he is considered notable by the leaders of psychology (not everyone gets an obituary in AP). There is a Timberlake entry in Springer’s Encyclopedia of Animal Cognition and Behavior ([6]), which is not designed as a biographical encyclopedia, and just the especially noteworthy people are included.

The importance of establishing the animal behaviour programme at Indiana University might not be obvious from the short treatment in the article; it changed the landscape of science in a profound and positive way, and sparked similar changes in many other universities. This point has been made elsewhere [7]. This is the sort of influence that doesn’t reflect in citation counts.

Let me also note that the Wikipedia guidelines state that a Festschrift is usually sufficient for establishing notability. Timberlake’s Festschrift [8] revealed a particularly extensive influence, not just among his former students, but even among field leaders. This included 20 (diverse) papers, each focused on how Timberlake influenced psychology.

I suspect many people are looking for Timberlake on Wikipedia and are surprised to not find him represented. I wrote the entry in order to fill that gap.

But a wikipedia article is not meant to be an argument about a person's notability. So how am I to convince the wikipedia editors of Timberlake's notability without turning the article into a sales pitch? I had thought I had been overindulging this pressure by mentioning award highlights and such.

  • Comment: I'm not an editor, but I made this report for the references. Reference two doesn't work. The link is rogue but it is just typed wrong I think. Number 5 doesn't seem to have anything about Timberlake. As well as number 6, 7 and 8. Also they're from the same website. You're desperate, are you? There is nothing saying about him. It's the university. For the 2nd link, if the link is corrected, it will work. I saw that the first page said Robert Ian Bowers on the PDF. That's your username, that's suspicious. Also the page isn't secure, so that's no good. You know the PDFs have references. Could you use those? Ref 10 is alright, wrote by the man himself. Ref 11, on Google Books. With 0 reviews from its debut in 2016. There's no page for Michael Domjan on Wikipedia, for him. On his part in UT college, there's no sign of Timberlake still. Ref 12 is on Google Books with 0 reviews again. This book was made in 2010. Sara has a page on Wikipedia. It's a stub. Also, this look as they're talking about the university instead. Sara's page is unsecure from the external link. And normally too. I cannot see William still. Ref 13 has a mention of Timberlake from the awards, but that was about it. Ref 14 doesn't show his name. Ref 15, another mention and no more. Ref 16, Domjan is back with Bowers. To be fair now, what ever this Timberlake is about looks as some advertisement, or company. Ref 17, it is good enough. Lots is about William's theory though. You know, 3 and 4 are from the same website as 17. You're more desperate.(I didn't word my view about this correctly, sorry.)For number 1, it's good. It shows a book by him. To conclude, this page is ok, even with its references. There has to be some improvements to the references though, you need more detail. There is another I found though whilst finishing off...
    When searching up his name there was already an stub article about him. You should merge. The other by the way doesn't have the D.

Ttvk1nlive Wikipedia has articles, not mere "pages". I must be frank with you- and I apologize- but Wikipedia has no interest in helping you enhance search results for you(such as through Google Knowledge Graphs), helping you connect with your followers, or in otherwise aiding your internet presence. We aren't concerned with any requirements imposed upon you by Google or others. The only thing Wikipedia is interested in is summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about you, showing how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. You have not offered any such sources. We are interested in what others have chosen to say about you, not what you want to say about yourself. I might suggest that other social media outlets or alternative forums are more appropriate for your goals.

BeaufordSleeper, This draft has already been deleted as a blatant advert. Please take the following approach:
  1. Seek references which meet the criteria summarised in WP:42
  2. From those references extract the fact that you wish to highlight
  3. Sort the facts into a storyboard order
  4. Create a new draft and write it, but write it tightly, and without any form of bias for or against. Stick only to the facts.
This technique will show you before you even consider submitting it for review whether the subject is likely to pass muster. No useful references means non acceptance.
Do not confuse quantity of references with quality. A short, well referenced, tightly written draft making a small number of salient points is highly likely to succeed Fiddle Faddle 19:29, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

THEN TELL US WHY YOU ARE REQUESTING ASSISTANCE BELOW THIS LINE. Take as many lines as you need.


Hello

I made this site for Jacksonville Theological Seminary. I wrote much more about it and then some people crossed things out. The website of www.jts.edu expalins you why it is important to have a Wikipeida website.

There are many aricles of students or professors who have taught there, like https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/myjournalcourier/obituary.aspx?n=kurt-william-huth&pid=158798789&fbclid=IwAR2oL9I_e7enezcEF_vhaz1IEzv4QtbODytWpioNid6iqELBSs-u6CUgvR4

These are the courses you can study there: http://www.jts.edu/web/catalogs/rmbc/pdf/rmbccatalog.pdf

I myself study there and have completed the 6th out of 10 courses.

Thank you.

Buchererpianos., I wish you well in your course. The things "someone crossed out" were copyright violations, something that must not be present. So they are no longer present.
Wikipedia does not care why the seminary may consider it important for an article to be here. It cares about simple notability and verifiability. Your job as the creating editor is to assert and verify that. The big pink decline box tells you what is required. Please confirm that you have read it. If you wish to resubmit the draft you must do the work. Please do not re-add the copyrighted material
Please be clear. JTS will never control the content of a Wikipedia article. It is not, absolutely not, a web site for jts. They have a web site. Please see WP:OWN Fiddle Faddle 22:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has been rejected and will not proceed further.
Relatively popular compared to what?
Even so, popularity is not notability Fiddle Faddle 22:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wish to add more 'notable performers' to the Festival Mosaic wiki page. There are some with their own wiki pages, but I have some who do not; they have their own webpage. Can you advise how I would do this and not violate any rules. The wiki I am trying to edit is:

Festival Mozaic

I have added: Erik Arvinder

I would like to add: Grace Park www.graceparkviolin.com

Thanks in advance... Barry Floyd

PS I don't see a "Save page" button. I will click on the Publish changes button ..

Barrydfloyd (talk) 06:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Barrydfloyd You may wish to ask at the more general Help Desk; this desk is oriented towards helping users working on draft articles. Just so you are aware, "publish changes" should be understood to simply mean "save changes". It used to say save changes, but was changed for legal reasons, to emphasize that edits are visible to the public and no longer private. 331dot (talk) 13:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

14:34:49, 5 March 2021 review of submission by GNJusa

I have added many references /links to the sources. Almost all images were my personal property as stated when I submitted them. My motivation was that these images would not be lost to time. Please be specific on what part of the article is lacking. Please note the New York Times article which testifies to most of the information. This format is very difficult for me, if I could get some assistance with completing this article it would be greatly appreciated. GNJusa (talk) 14:34, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GNJusa, I see exactly one source you added to your draft. Please note also that the purpose of Wikipedia is not hosting or archiving Images. Please have a close look at WP:YFA and Help:Referencing for beginners - you article needs to be sourced by at least 2-3 WP:RS WP:THREE. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:57:27, 5 March 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Jeramypappas


Hello! I created the above article last year and it was declined, directing me to propose a split at University of Oklahoma. I did this (or I attempted to, I very well may have done something wrong) and in that time there's been no response. I still believe the article is valid and needed and would like to proceed in whatever way forward possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Jeramypappas (talk) 16:57, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jeramypappas: - I suggest following exactly the procedure listed at WP:PROSPLIT.CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @CommanderWaterford: - Thank you for getting back to me so soon. As far as I know, I did follow the procedure listed at WP:PROSPLIT. It is located at the bottom of the University of Oklahoma Talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:University_of_Oklahoma
@Jeramypappas:, looks like you forgot Step 2 of the procedure ;-) CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CommanderWaterford: - I absolutely did. I believe I've added the correct split notice now. Thank you for your help!

Request on 17:37:46, 5 March 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Solsticeshines


This submission allegedly reads like an advertisement, only there is no such product as Ensemble Active Management. EAM cannot be bought or sold. There are additional sources, and academic research articles on the topic. I expected Institutional Investor and the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute, as well as other wikipedia pages to be considered reliable sources. Ensemble Active Management is the application of Ensemble Methods to an identified stable of registered mutual funds, in order to extract high conviction overweight stock positions, in order to subsequently apply a consensus score across those HCO positions and deliver a ranked and weighted set of stock signals to a registered investment professional for use in the construction of investment products or portfolios.

Solsticeshines (talk) 17:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Solsticeshines It's not that the topic can be bought and sold, but that it just tells about the existence of it and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen to say about this topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. The draft was only declined, not rejected, so the reviewer felt that there is at least a chance that you can demonstrate notability. 331dot (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

18:00:53, 5 March 2021 review of submission by Hallieedit


This article was rejected in September 2020 on the basis that it was a temporary video store. This is inaccurate, as the article represents. e-flux is an exhibition space that housed a video store temporarily as part of their exhibition program. The article lists countless other projects that e-flux has hosted as well. Please revise the decision to reject the draft, as the article clearly shows that e-flux continues to be active in hosting events, programs, and exhibitions and in publishing journals and books. Let me know if I can help clarify anything else. Thank you.

Hallieedit (talk) 18:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hallieedit You should first try to approach the reviewer directly(their username is on the draft along with a link) and explain this to them. 331dot (talk) 18:07, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Hi there, thanks for the tip. I did reach out to them back when the page was rejected in September 2020 but didn't hear back. I wrote to them on their talk page again today, but in the meantime I see someone else has also moved to submit Draft:e-flux for review. Do you have any tips going forward? Thanks! Hallieedit (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
