'''A Mí No Me La Hacen (AMNMLH)''' is a [[Peru|Peruvian]] [[Media literacy|Media and Information Literacy (MIL)]] [[non-governmental organization]].

Founded in 2020, it teaches and promotes media and information literacy with a multidisciplinary team of professionals<ref>{{cite news |title='A Mí No Me La Hacen': educación contra la desinformación |url=https://redaccion.lamula.pe/2021/04/19/a-mi-no-me-la-hacen-educacion-contra-la-desinformacion/redaccionmulera/ |access-date=30 May 2022 |publisher=La Mula}}</ref>.

{{reflist}} Hi, I would like to know why my article submission was denied, and what I can do to improve it.
The message tells that the article doesn't have significant coverage, even though I have put 6 references from multiple sources (3 peruvian journals (El Comercio, La Mula, PressPeru) and the UNESCO website). Why are these sources not considered enough?
I thank you in advance for the help.

Request on 11:54:04, 24 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Afromherz


Hi! I've been working on a new article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:EverCrypt). Thanks to advice from different reviewers, this article was improved through several iterations. I'm curious about how I can check that it fits the different Wikipedia policies before submitting it again to avoid taking time from editors if I'm missing something obvious. Are there any automated tools for this/further advice that is not already on the wiki?

Thanks!

Afromherz (talk) 11:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Afromherz: You're doing it right by asking here. Make sure every single thing is sourced by a reliable third party source, or remove it. WP:RS Put refs after punctuation. MOS:PF Sentence case for section names. MOS:HEAD Read WP:YFA. TechnoTalk (talk) 00:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

16:16:43, 24 May 2022 review of submission by 80sloVerS1

A page for singer Stacey Jackson was put up for deletion back in Oct 2021 as some parts were judged as too promotional. We didn't know back then and couldn't amend anything so it has since been fully deleted, but we now have realised and would like to revive or re-start a page. Stacey Jackson is on Sky TV weekly and is a singer/songwriter, who, although has a PR team, is in the public eye organically too. How can I get a page back up for her profile? Thank you for any help 80sloVerS1 (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter what or who she is,(*) it only matters what others have said about her in independent and reliable secondary sources. The draft only cites two sources, one of which is Springer's own website, and therefore not independent. The other, SZ, is basically appointment news, which comes under routine business reporting.
(*) Yes, some positions are inherently notable, eg. elected legislators, top-level athletes, professors in named chairs, etc., but this does not include newspaper editors.

Request on 01:32:52, 25 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Dscdrake


hello I was wondering why my article was rejected. i was not finished with it sure but I was kinda hoping for some more people to help work on it with me. i think it had potential


Dscdrake (talk) 01:32, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dscdrake: it was rejected because it has no hope of being published in a global encyclopaedia. You also shouldn't be writing about yourself, as this isn't a social media platform. By the time you've got your third major record deal or received your first Grammy, someone else (and hopefully not' your publicist!) will have written an article about you; until then, leave it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 04:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

needa help me

that thing draft:execuflight flight 1526 is constantly getting declined. the accident deserves to be an article but i cant find enough references, just the ntsb report and some news on web archive KingAviationKid (talk) 15:35, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KingAviationKid: actually, the way Wikipedia works is that if you cannot find enough (in quality and quantity) references, then the subject very much does not "deserve to be an article". It is one of the most fundamental requirements for an article that the subject must have been significantly covered in multiple reliable and independent sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:39, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:37:14, 25 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Erlovett


Hi. I recently spent three hours reworking my article, "Jenny Bilfield," very carefully following the instructions of AfC editors who replied in great detail to my Teahouse query. The article was just declined again, on these grounds:

-notability ("This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they....")

-"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources..."

-the reviewer's comment: "Refs look like PR."

Regarding the reliability of sources, I used my "three best sources." Two are Washington Post articles, and one is a Washingtonian magazine article. These are objectively reliable sources. (Washingtonian is a five-time National Magazine Award winner for its reporting and writing.)

Regarding notability, Bilfield is the sole subject of all sources.

Regarding the comment, I made sure the article was neutral in tone and content.

Can you please consider this and help?

Erlovett (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Erlovett The issue is not the publishers, but what they published. Interviews with her do not establish notability, as those are primary sources. I'm wondering if you have an association with Bilfield. 331dot (talk) 17:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

20:23:04, 25 May 2022 review of draft by Straughn


The article on Tekin was rejected for not showing "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". This article includes several obituaries in peer-reviewed journals, Festschrifts, and I have just added a death notice from the Turkish Language Association. I believe it should have passed the first time around, but wanted a second opinion to see if there's anything else I can do to improve it. Many thanks!

20:47:51, 25 May 2022 review of submission by Danubeball

So yesterday my draft got denied entry onto the WikiStage. Based off of the reasoning,it wasn’t that it wasn’t notable it was because of Formatting issues.So I’m requesting some help to fix up the article. Hopefully with enough help the article can join the main space as a stub or even start. Thanks! Danubeball (talk) 20:47, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Danubeball The sources you provided are all announcements of routine business activities or promotional pieces, which does not establish notability. To pass this process, you must have a draft that summarizes at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable business. For a restaurant chain, something like unsolicited reviews of their food or operations might work. 331dot (talk) 21:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well that stinks.admittedly I didn’t even read NCORP until today.I already decided to put my draft into the works of my sandbox anyways.Looks like I messed up that one. Danubeball (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

03:25:38, 26 May 2022 review of submission by 219.74.237.99

Hello, I've attempted to submit a draft for the aforementioned page several times, but the drafts have been rejected due to concerns over notability. It is my understanding that I require a certain volume of independent, secondary sources mentioning the subject of the entry in detail. I've currently provided multiple sources for each claim/reference in the entry, all of which do seem to meet the independent/secondary source criteria. Could I receive some assistance with getting the entry suitably revised and successfully published? Concrete advice regarding specific steps that need to be taken would be fantastic. Thank you! 219.74.237.99 (talk) 03:25, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let's start by assessing your sources. Refer to the top table at User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
Barring the Her World article I pointed to, every other source is unusable as presented. Two of the sources need to have new links/cites provided. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 05:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedians, am requisting you to help to create my first article on wikipedia, i have created a page for well known business women based from kerala and doing her business in Dubai since 1990, she is also the vice president of Flowers TV (Indian TV channel). i have tried to publish the content but rejected, i strongly believe that the subject i have selected isin evitable from wikipedia so help me to rectify the errors in the article and republish the same.

11:39:38, 26 May 2022 review of submission by Ugoji.john

Good day Wikipedia's, please can someone help me out? I have an Article in sandbox which i have tried to move to the main page but it is replying that "This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect: From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed) or is the result of a page move. One reason this page was kept as a redirect is to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name. Any redirect with a page move logged on its history page should be tagged with this rcat template."

But I want it move, so that my sandbox will be empty.

Can someone help out??

Ugoji.john (talk) 11:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ugoji.john, there are a few issues here. First, your article was not ready for main space as it was a combination of essay and promotional material. Second, it has now been nominated for speedy deletion as copyright violation since the bulk of the article is a copy and paste of [1]. It may be helpful to read this guide to writing your first article, as well as familiarizing yourself with copyright policy. In short, Wikipedia articles summarize what reliable sources say about the topic and except for brief quotes, articles never directly copy what the source says.Slywriter (talk) 12:50, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your speedy responds. I applicate your comments but none of the above comments is applicable to the work. Nevertheless, can you help empty my sandbox so that I can put this article as a new one and send it for preview? Ugoji.john (talk) 13:33, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the redirect, so that you can access the page. You needed to go directly to the page or click the redirected from link to get back to the sandbox. From there, just blanking the page gets rid of redirect. And I would not be so dismissive of copyright violations. Continual violation of copyright can and will lead to restrictions on your ability to edit wikipedia.Slywriter (talk) 13:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ugoji.john Much of your draft is a word-for-word copy from https://datalab.com.ng/artificial-intelligence-in-nigeria/. I don't know why you say "none of the above comments is applicable...".
The source: Leo is an AI-powered digital assistant introduced by the United Bank for Africa in Nigeria. It is a mobile banking chatting platform that is used for financial transactions such as paying bills, checking balances instant responses, football updates.... Hmmmm, there's a comma missing in that phrase after "balances".
Your draft: Leo: This is an AI-powered digital assistant introduced by the United Bank for Africa in Nigeria. It is a mobile banking chatting platform that is used for financial transactions such as paying bills, checking balances instant responses, football updates... complete with the same missing comma.

19:03:12, 26 May 2022 review of draft by Slichsluch


I would like to hear opinions if there is any way to get the draft approved. It was first declined with a "Comment: Paid for puff piece, stuffed with trumpery "largest installer", "world’s first"..." which I generally can understand (though all those adjectives were present in the sources). So I removed all the "firsts" and "largests", leaving only facts and numbers along with the sources. Yet, it's declined again with a statement "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia." which I don't understand.. Any ideas how to make it read like encyclopedia entry? Best, --Slichsluch (talk) 19:03, 26 May 2022 (UTC) Slichsluch (talk) 19:03, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Slichsluch As you have declared as a paid editor, I assume that you represent or work for(directly or indirectly) the company you are writing about. You have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is and does. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company and what it does; it is an encyclopedia. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own(and not based on materials from the company) to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Staff interviews, press releases, announcements of routine business activities, and brief mentions do not establish notability. We don't want to know what the company does, but why the company is significant. 331dot (talk) 20:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
331dot, thank you for your reply. "A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own(and not based on materials from the company) to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company" — but this is what the article is about, no?
Is it that you think that the company is not notable? I think it is, because it is the largest company in the country. Two editors who declined the draft did not question notability but the tone of the article.. Best, --Slichsluch (talk) 19:42, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Slichsluch It certainly could be notable, but that is not yet demonstrated in the draft by the sources. The sources just document the specific facts given, which is needed, but that is not sufficient to establish notability. It's not enough to just say "it's the largest such company in Australia". What about its size makes it significant or influential in its field? Microsoft does not merit an article merely because it is a large company, but because of its influence in the field of computing and society more broadly, as independent sources observe it to have. That article doesn't just say "Microsoft sells X copies of Windows a year. 331dot (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 23:19:06, 26 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Academictapatio


Hi, I need assistance with copyright violations. I'm unsure if it's just the sources or how I cited them. I'm also unclear about what needs an inline citation in the "Background" section. Conversely, what could I cut or keep if wanted to make the article into a stub? Thank you!

Academictapatio (talk) 23:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Academictapatio: I'm assuming you mean this Draft:Divya Victor?
The first thing I'll say is, please don't edit, remove, or otherwise mess with the AfC tags and comments; they are there for a reason. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:35, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright law can be tricky, granted, but the basic premise behind it is very simple: you cannot use what isn't yours. You aren't allowed to copy & paste (or too closely paraphrase) text that someone else has written; you need to write in your own words. And you cannot upload an image that you didn't create yourself. The only exception to these rules is where the original creator (or otherwise the copyright owner) has expressly given their permission for their content to be used, in which case we need to see evidence of that. You can read more at WP:CV. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll combine my answer to your last two questions (what needs citations, and what to cut or keep) into this: every material statement, and anything potentially contentious, needs to be supported with a citation to a reliable source. If you cannot do so, then remove that content. Why? Because without a source to back it up, it's just your say-so. And given that your draft currently has one source, cited once only, virtually the entirety of it is unsupported, and potentially needs to be removed. Which would, indeed, leave a very short stub, if anything. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:54, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Academictapatio: I've stripped back the draft article, added refs and removed close paraphrasing. Divya Victor is now in mainspace. Other editors can decide if some of the history should be deleted for copyright reasons.Bogger (talk) 09:45, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rave lakshya (talk) 05:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rave lakshya: the problem here is that your sources cannot make up for in quantity what they lack in quality. We need to see significant coverage of this person, in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources.

Request on 09:15:39, 27 May 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Jairocugliari


I have difficulties in proving the notability of this subject by Wikipedia rules. The ENBIS non-profit organization is recognized in Europe as on important centre on industrial mathematics (https://euro-math-soc.eu/industrial-mathematical-activities-europe). Also, the topic is mentioned in different Wikipedia pages as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Greenfield and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Box_Medal so I've understood that the article was for creation (disclaimer: I am a member of the organization). I didn't include all the references I have, there are several others. Is the notability a matter of number of references? Quality of the references?

Jairocugliari (talk) 09:15, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jairocugliari You seem to have a common misunderstanding of Wikipedia in that it is not a place to just tell about an organization and what it does. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia a Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. You don't have any sources that do that- and the last reviewer must think it's not likely to find them, which is why they rejected your draft and it won't be considered further. 331dot (talk) 09:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jairocugliari: both the quality and quantity of the sources matter. Quality is important, as no amount of poor sources can establish notability. But quantity also plays a role, in that we need multiple good sources; exactly what 'multiple' means, isn't really defined, but it is more than just one or two. See WP:GNG for more info. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they have pages on the Japanese-language Wikipedia does not mean we can have pages about them here on the English-language one. Each edition of Wikipedia is its own project with its own standards and policies. I would read up on en.wp policy before attempting to translate any of these, particularly WP:Reliable sources and WP:Notability for the lot and WP:Biographies of living persons for the mangaka. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 18:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

14:35:32, 27 May 2022 review of submission by Billbike2

Dear Fakescientist8000: Greetings! I am William S. Bike, and I am asking you to reconsider your rejection of my draft of a Linda Howe page for Wikipedia, and that you will allow it to be posted.

You called Ms. Howe not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. I would like to respectfully disagree with this point. Ms. Howe is the author of four books—two with Sounds True Publishing and one with Hay House, which are major publishers in the self-help genre. Her fifth book will be published next month by yet another publisher, Modern Wisdom Press. Her books are therefore desirable among competitive publishers. Her book How to Read the Akashic Records is ranked #65 in the Parapsychology category on Amazon.com. Ms. Howe has sold thousands of books over the years. She therefore is a significant author.

Ms. Howe is the first person to make the Akashic Records (a subject long ago accepted for a listing on Wikipedia) accessible to the masses in several countries. She therefore is a significant pathbreaker. Since Wikipedia has that entry on the Akashic Records, if the Akashic Records are a significant enough subject for Wikipedia to allow an entry on it, it seems logical that a top author of books on the subject should be included on Wikipedia as well.

She also is one of the leading teachers of the Akashic Records in the world, having taught thousands of students in several countries. This makes her internationally significant.

Ms. Howe has won four awards from the Coalition of Visionary Resources, making her acknowledged as a significant figure from an important outside organization.

Let me give you some information about my own credentials. I’ve been successfully posting on Wikipedia for about 15 years. I am a career journalist and media expert. I’ve been published in over 65 venues, including the Chicago Sun-Times and university publications at Loyola University Chicago, DePaul University, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of Illinois Springfield, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’ve been published in several peer-reviewed/refereed journals: the Delta Epsilon Sigma Journal, Nine: A Journal of Baseball History and Social Policy Perspectives, and the Review of Pacific Basin Financial Markets and Policies. I have appeared on CNN, and been quoted in Forbes, USA Today, Epoch Times, and other major media. I am the author of four books. I’ve earned more than 60 journalism awards, including the Peter Lisagor Award—the top honor in Chicago journalism. As a career journalist, media commentator, and contributor to referred journals, I understand the importance of accurate and viable sourcing and information, and I believe sources and information about Ms. Howe are sound.

Wikipedia already has an entry on Linda Moulton Howe, a journalist and film maker who covers aliens, cow mutilation, and crop circle conspiricies. I believe differentiating two authors who happen to have similar names is important to both of them.

So I hope you will reconsider rejection of this article about Ms. Howe and allow it to be published. I would welcome any advice about suggested changes that will help the article be accepted for Wikipedia. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope you have a great week!

Billbike2 To address Fakescientist8000 directly, you should use their user talk page(User talk:Fakescientist8000). Most of your draft appears to be sourced to self-published(by Howe) sources. If you have contributed articles for 15 years, you should be aware that a Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources say, not what people say about themselves. 331dot (talk) 14:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:30:20, 27 May 2022 review of draft by Nidhi Janu


I donot understand why this article is being declined. This is an educational work based on study from various websites. There is no plagiarism or advertising involved. It is a completely neutral work intended for MBA graduates to understand the basis and methods of lead generation marketing.

Nidhi Janu (talk) 18:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nidhu Janu What you wrote is an essay of original research, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources state, and is written in an encyclopedic style. Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So I was told my article looked like an advertisement. I'm not sure how, and therefore do not know how to edit said article to make it seem less like that. So how can I change it to make it good? NonzeroCornet34 (talk) 00:38, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This reads like a how-to guide. An article shouldn't be talking to/at the reader, nor should it be providing instructions. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:46, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to explain the ins and outs of the language, but I see where you're coming from. How do I fix it? NonzeroCornet34 (talk) 00:56, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You fix it by focusing on summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about the topic, instead of telling the specifics of the language itself. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What if only one source exists at all? NonzeroCornet34 (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To merit an article, a topic must receive significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources- typically at least three. 331dot (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

10:36:57, 28 May 2022 review of submission by Nautilus126

I am requesting a re-review for two reasons. First, the reason that was given for my article's rejection was that the subject is "insufficiently notable" for inclusion on Wikipedia. If this were the case, why would there be so many articles posted about her online, both from her native Malaysia and around the world? Other than the articles I cited in the references section, there are many more that I did not include as they were not relevant. Second, I am being paid by the subject to make this page, and I would like to get this over with after so many months.

I left a similar comment a few weeks ago and received a reply saying that a draft that has been rejected will no longer be considered further. In the event that viewers question why I am requesting a re-review/asking for help, I leave this explanation: under the "Submission rejected" comment, there is an "ask for advice" button, which brought me here. It says nothing about a draft not being further considered once it is rejected- in fact, I was directed to this page upon seeing the rejection comment. If a draft being rejected means it will no longer be considered, why would there be an "ask for advice" button that allows users to request a review?

I would greatly appreciate a reconsideration of the rejection of my draft as well as any recommendations on what I can add/remove to the article so that It can be published once and for all. Thank you! Nautilus126 (talk) 10:36, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The similar comment I mentioned was replied to with "A knowledgeable editor should answer here soon," but as time passed, my comment was erased before any editor could assist me. Nautilus126 (talk) 10:38, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where you made the formal paid editing declaration, but I may have missed it. The "ask for advice" is not necessarily for requesting a re-review, but for, well, asking about the rejection. 331dot (talk) 10:52, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@331dot: FYI, the paid editing notice is here (that's why I tagged the draft, as this was in an unusual location). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:02, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the input box for this page explicitly says "Below this line, tell us why you are requesting a re-review."
Is there any information/source that can be removed in order to make the page more acceptable? Thank you. Nautilus126 (talk) 13:05, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nautilus126 If you remove sources, you must have sources to replace them with and summarize. If those existed, the draft would not have been rejected, most likely. If you have independent reliable sources with significant coverage (that are not primary sources or brief) that you have not yet used, time to put your cards on the table. If you don't, my advice is to go to Sarah May Lowe and tell her you are unable to complete the task she gave you. If she specifically paid you to create an article, I would also suggest returning her money. 331dot (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I've had a submission rejected for not meeting minimum requirements for inline citations. My article is short and I have included several citations, so I would like to request help identifying specifically where more / different / better use of citations is needed. This is my first submission and I'm very much at sea. Thanks in advance for any replies. The article is Draft:Bruce Aitken

Kenny Hodgart (talk) 03:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kenny Hodgart: firstly, please link to your draft (Draft:Bruce Aitken) so we don't have to go looking for it, thanks. Secondly, you should really make your COI declaration somewhere more visible and obvious than in an edit comment.
Now to answer your question, yes, I can see that you have included three inline citations, but that isn't enough to support the contents, as most of the draft is still unreferenced. (Meanwhile, you have several citations which are just piled together at the bottom, where they serve no purpose as far as supporting the contents goes.)

@Guiderius It's actually quite simple. How do you know where and when she was born? Where did you find the information about her education, exibitions, scholarships, etc? The books, articles, websites, etc where you found that information are the sources you must reference. If you know something only because she or someone associated with her told you or you have access to private documents that are not available to the public you cannot include that information because it is unverifiable.

A Mí No Me La Hacen (AMNMLH) is a Peruvian Media and Information Literacy (MIL) non-governmental organization.

Founded in 2020, it teaches and promotes media and information literacy with a multidisciplinary team of professionals[1]. Through workshops and educational content online, which present MIL through the perspectives of journalism and natural or behavior sciences, AMNMLH aims to respond to the misinfodemic with a “bottom-up” perspective, empowering the citizenry by giving them the tools to better understand how media works.

In 2021, A Mí No Me La Hacen received the UNESCO Global Media and Information Literacy Award[2][3] in recognition for their outstanding work, alongside organizations from France, the Philippines, the USA, Greece and Namibia.

Nowadays, A Mí No Me La Hacen continues their work for Media and Information Literacy education and advocacy, organizing annual MIL Symposiums[4] (during UNESCO’s Global MIL Week[5]), as well as participating in seminars organized by UNESCO, and the Peruvian Ministries of Education and Communication[6] to further promote this subject in the country.
