Review of: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeddah_Guide

Would appreciate it if someone could review my article before I submit again. Is the content enough?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Democi/sandbox#Jeddah_Guide

Democi (talk) 06:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

 Unnecessary If you want to write a travel guide, read about Wikitravel. That said, the previous reviewer told you there was no content and that's more or less still true. You have a couple wikilinks and a few external links in the body, which is not recommended. Chris Troutman (talk) 07:17, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Oliver JS Bruce

Could I just check that this article we have written on Oliver is pending review?

@PPOffice:  Declined First, I become concerned when I see a user with your name writing a promotional article about a company called PinPoint. It doesn't appear you're here to write an encyclopedia. Second, your entry doesn't have near enough citations and without reliable sources, there's no reason to believe the subject is notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:16, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bharath Gyan

Hi

I have re-submitted my article based on feedback sometime back which I have been building for almost a year now. I am keen to hear back from the reviewers. I have taken up the case of creation of this article to espouse the alternate view of researchers (research-collators in htis case) who have dared to go into the ancient and pre-historic era which is otherwise consigned to the brackets of "mythology". mainstream and the dominant narrative is not inclusive, and look forward to free-world wikipedia to help me out here!!!

Looking forward to a communication from your end!!!!

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Eniac Ventures

Hi there, I hope you can please help me with the following:

I have been working on the page for Eniac Ventures, and my last submission seems to keep falling behind more entries every time I check its status. Is there a reason for this? Can I do anything about it?

Also, the article has been rejected previously because it is too promotional. It seems like the things that might be interpreted as promotional are also backed up with citations. What would be the best way to reduce any promotional undertones in these sections?

Any help you can provide would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Loughlinrodd (talk) 00:53, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

@Loughlinrodd: First, there is no queue as reviews are conducted randomly. You're not falling behind. I took a look at the entry. Here's an example:

"Although a relatively young firm, Eniac has been ranked in the upper echelon of early-stage venture funds. In 2013, the Firm's fourth year of existence, it was ranked as one of the most active Seed investors in the United States by private equity research firm CB Insights 2013 Seed Investors Report."

That's all kinds of promotional. The cited source lists Eniac as #15, with absolutely no other text. Using puffery like "upper echelon" and "most active" is an attempt to shade the truth. The longest paragraph is a name-dropping exercise.

Most of your sources are business news at the best. Many of them are PR releases. The Forbes citation is an interview with someone at Eniac, so it's not independent. It's very questionable if this business has any notability. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:45, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Madame Clothing

Please help me, I am trying to approve my article from the last 4 months. But unfortunately my article has been disapproved many times. I had been changed the content many times and given many useful references, buy my article was never approved.

I hope someone from Articles for creation/Help desk can helps me.

Please review my article.

Anilmehta9 (talk) 07:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

@Anilmehta9: While I admit this must be a frustrating process, your efforts are trying to push a promotional piece. The subject does not appear to be notable and it likely never will be. For example, glancing at your Business Standard citation, the "news" article is a press release (kept in the newspaper's "announcements" section) so it's not even a valid source. The rest of your citations are of questionable value, too. I think with help your submission will eventually be accepted although I don't think our encyclopedia will be any better off for it.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Benjamin Lasnier

How can I submit my article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllyEvansWiki (talk • contribs) 08:09, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

@AllyEvansWiki: Your submission has no sources. You must cite sources in order to establish notability. You can start with this sad article from The Guardian of all places. Be sure your submission sticks to verifiable facts not what you find on social media. It looks like it's too early for any real notability but I'd guess in six months this is who the kids will be talking about. If you're going to claim notability through "music" publication, please take a look at WP:NBAND. Chris Troutman (talk) 08:22, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia_talk:Articles for creation/Crawl (film)

Hello. I recently created a new article for the film Crawl (2011), an Australian horror. I submitted it for review on the 3rd of April, I haven't heard anything back about it and it is still not up on Wikipedia. Is there something more I can do? Thank You. --90.208.221.36 (talk) 10:52, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Marthaedwards1

@Marthaedwards1: Not sure I've looked at the entry but I haven't reviewed it formally because I'm not sure if it meets WP:MOVIE. The rating on Rotten Tomatoes tend to lead me to believe it does, but your sourcing needs some improvement to guarantee acceptance. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:36, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

@:Chris troutman Thanks for taking a look. I can add some more references to help prove this. My next question is, where do I go to edit my article? It was originally started without having a user account, and was created on the Articles for Creation area for review and consideration for publication. However, I did create a new user account before submitting as I found out in order to upload a photo, a user account would be needed. I'm not sure where I need to go to find my article and edit it..

Review of Draft:Boston CitiNet

My submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Boston CitiNet

Was rejected because of a claimed problem with references. The reviewer asked that I use footnotes.

When I looked at the instructions for references, I thought that I did things correctly - by adding a references list per these instructions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources: A general reference is a citation that supports content, but is not linked to any particular piece of material in the article through an inline citation. General references are usually listed at the end of the article in a References section. They are usually found in underdeveloped articles, especially when all article content is supported by a single source. They may also be listed in more developed articles as a supplement to inline citations.

These are articles that support the general topic and are now explicitly linked to the content. CitiNet was covered by several publications like the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald but this was the early 80's and the articles do not appear in their archives.

Is there another problem with references?

Do I need to list the RealNet reference as a footnote?

Thanks,

MJKBoston

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/National Medal of Honor Museum of Military History

My first article submission was declined because: 1. Initally I copied and pasted our museum history from our website history page. A copyright violation. It has since been rewritten. 2. Initally the references were not sufficient. New references have been added.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/4INFO

Thank you for commending me on all the verifiable references ®amos. The process of creating the article & getting all the verifiable references have been illuminating to me. I'm not understanding the violation of CSD A7 well, & feel inadequate to edit the article to comply further with Wikipedia. Anyone willing to edit it?

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/4INFO Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MarkMillerITPro "Article still violates CSD A7. Although I commend the editor for the plethora of verifiable references, the article needs to read more like an encyclopedia and less like a advertisment.

@MarkMillerITPro: If you're unwilling to continue work on the article, you might consider userfication of the article so the incubator can work on it. Beyond the fact that the entry is very promotional, the "Recent Milestones" section is hard for me to properly criticize. I think you're coming at this article from the wrong point of view and could certainly use the help of another editor. Chris Troutman (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

• confused* incubator says that project is closing down. *confused* I'm not sure how to move the page there.

MarkMillerITPro — Preceding undated comment added 15:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@MarkMillerITPro: My mistake. I guess there's no other option, then. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:33, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@MarkMillerITPro - The Article Incubator is indeed closing down - it is not accepting any new submissions. It was in any case only used for articles sent there as an alternative to deletion - so only article that were already in mainspace could go have gone there. The Draft space is replacing the incubator and will also become the preferred location for AFC submissions (as soon as all the tools and templates we use have been adapted for it. If you wish to continue working on your draft you can simply continue where it is - If you do not wish to continue working on it you can either move it to Draft-space or if you don't think it will become an acceptable article you can simply delete it.

 Not done Unfortunately, My Chemistry Final Exam takes precedence over editing Wikipedia. I will be back later. I submitted some changes, tell me what you think. Here is my notepad quick short list of my changes (its blunt, but its so i don't forget why i changed something):

• These milestones aren't relevent to the article, and only serve to promote the company
• The competeitors section is not needed, as the Categories (listed at the bottom) will already cover this.
• "Key People" (other than the CEO) are not notable, unless they serve or have served elsewhere. If people are interested in finding out the entire board of directors, the website link will serve as the connection.
• The first sentence has changed to a more neutral point of view.
• removed "patent pending". Legal claims are not handled on Wikipedia.

And to note: AFCH = Yet another Articles for creation helper script. Easy way to help check references (which anyone can do) and get those nice looking templates on a page really quickly without really having to type anything. ®amos likes messages! 16:45, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Madrid Lions

Good afternoon,

I have just added three different sources from an online newspaper (Diario de Avila) and two specialized local spanish websites which have no relationship with the Madrid Lions Rugby club or any of its members. The three articles talk about different matches at differents locations and dates... Sincerely, we do not know what or where attach these articles in order to be representative of independent reliable sources.

Although Spain has a very strong mass of supporters, the newspapers and magazine have only eyes for football so it is really hard to find articles or reviews about rugby and particularly about a rugby club such as the Madrid Lions R.F.C.

May you be so kind to guide me in order to find the proper reviews and proofs to help you analyze and verify the Madrid Lions page at Wikipedia, please?

Thank you very much in advance.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Daniel Rojas

I posted to this helpdesk on the 4th of March and have not received any response. I am posting again as the reasons for rejection are not clear (as explained below) and I wish to resolve any issues with the article as soon as possible

My article was not accepted due to the subject (composer/performer, Daniel Rojas) being considered insufficiently notable. However, I believe the criteria for notability have been met:

1) The composer's works and recordings have been reviewed by numerous independent sources around Australia including major newspapers (Canberra Times), Australia's premiere music magazine (Limelight Magazine) and major online music media (Resonance magazine, AU Review and Sounds like Sydney).

2) The composer is represented by the Australian Music Centre - representation is reserved only for significant Australian composers and can only be attained via a rigorous peer-review process.

3) The composer's work is featured on the websites of internationally renown ensembles, orchestras and performers who have commissioned and performed his work.

4) The composer has been a finalist for a major national composition prize.

5) The composer is the subject of scholarly work discussing his innovations and new approaches to Latin-American influenced classical music.

6) The composer is on staff at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the largest tertiary music education institution in the country.

These seem to fulfil the criteria for notability several times over - if the criteria have still not been met, can you please clarify what additional information would be required to demonstrate notability?

Zkanga (talk) 14:57, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@Zkanga: I don't see how the subject meets WP:ARTIST. Furthermore, you have only one citation from The Canberra Times for which you did not provide a link. That newspaper has a website and gives no result for the subject, so I can't verify it. You have only one citation from Limelight (magazine) which only mentions the subject's CD being an "editor's choice." Finally, I removed a large copyright violation‎, so that's a major red flag. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:59, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@Chris troutman: Thanks for your feedback. As the subject is a musician, he only needs to meet the first point of WP:MUSBIO. That is, he needs to be the subject of multiple published works. The Canberra Times website is hosted by Fairfax (which runs multiple newspapers) - they print only the main local news online but the arts pages (including) reviews are print only - I have the clipping for the review if required. Limelight Magazine only puts some of its content online: I have added a link to a second review of a CD featuring Rojas' work, which is online. You don't mention the three other online articles on other publications. How many articles are required before the subject is considered notable? This article has more references to independent articles than most of the living composers currently listed in List_of_Australian_composers, many of whom have only one or two independent articles.

Zkanga (talk) 17:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@Zkanga: There's not a hard and fast rule, but you are correct about MUSICBIO. I, personally, have very little tendency to assume good faith. Other editors may be willing to assume your citations are correct. Without being able to read the sources myself the subject doesn't pass notability. No doubt both Canberra Times and Limelight would be your reliable sources if only both of the articles could be verified. I'm not sure the other cited sources are reliable. Pointing to other subpar articles isn't a valid argument, either. Another reviewer might accept this article but I'm not willing to. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:19, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I assume you are West Marshall but not logged in? The comments at the top of your submission state that reliable sources were not cited. Granted, the actual sources may be reliable, but not enough information is given to identify them (the newspaper articles lack titles, for example). Also, as the other reviewer stated, it seems that this was copied and pasted from another source, which is not allowed. If that is not the case, please continue improving the references and formatting. (You can learn how by taking a quick editing tutorial.)

• Idea: if you can get an actual birthdate, what would be nice for the infobox (remember to find a source!). Also, what will help this article big time is if you can find an existing work of his on Wikipedia (or the Commons), or upload one (remember to follow copyright rules & laws). ®amos likes messages! 18:39, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/List of Ben & Jerry's flavors

I am looking for advice from editors on how to improve my AfC page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/List of Ben & Jerry's flavors so it has the greatest chance of being connected to the main article on Ben & Jerry's. Could you let me know if I'm on the right track, thank you! This is my first AfC submission.

Benandjerrysflavors (talk) 02:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

 Warning I've been watching this article for quite a while, and there are two important points I feel I must present.

• The first is your username. Your username and this article would create a conflict of interest (see WP:CONFLICT. Although I assume you are not representing Ben and Jerry's in an official capacity, I am inclined to agree, and I think others are too, that your username and this article do not suit each other.
• The second issue is the relevance to the article itself. As I just argued with another topic elsewhere on Wikipedia, This list is essentially a directory of flavors that Ben and Jerry's released, and judging by all the sources (which all come from the company's own website, which is self-published marterial (see WP:VRS), the fact remains is that all this information can be found on their website, and is not required material for an encyclopedia (see WP:NOTDIR).

I know you've worked hard on this, but I feel that the forces at hand may reject this list on the premise of not being relevant to the Main article (which is unchallenged). ®amos likes messages! 20:59, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Benandjerrysflavors. The advice about changing your username from ®amos is wise, and I suggest you do so. You can request a name change at Wikipedia:Changing username. Once your username has been changed, your previous contributions will be listed under the new name in page histories, diffs, logs, and user contributions. Signatures on discussion pages will continue to use the old name, but clicking on the links in the old signature will take people to your new name.

Now about your list, have you seen List of Ben & Jerry's ice creams? Since your list duplicates the existing topic (if not the exact contents), it won't be moved to a separate article. Instead, you could use the contents of your draft to augment or even replace the current table in that article. The current table has significant problems, in my view (see also the comments at Talk:List of Ben & Jerry's ice creams), and I think your version would be an improvement. You could propose your changes and link to your draft at that talk page to get other editors' views. Since that page has relatively few people watching it, I'd also suggest notifying your talk page proposal to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink to get potentially more input from experienced editors in the area. If no one seems to object after a week or so, I'd go ahead and make the changes. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:30, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Movea

Hello, After 3 revisions to remove copyrights and promotional language, my copy still appears to be considered as advertisement. We've taken a look at other companies and tried to reproduce their pattern so that our submission would be accepted since theirs was. we followed Hillcrest labs article structure and worked on an appropriate language you can see on their page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillcrest_Labs The QUALCOMM page is notified to appear as an advertisement but is still published https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillcrest_Labs

I am wondering what I should specifically do to succeed the revisions for our article.

Please let me know,

Thank you, Eva Pagneux Movea (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

To editor Movea: Before I explain the concerns about your submission, I strongly advise you to request a change in username. User accounts should only represent individuals, so usernames that represent organizations are not allowed. (Usernames can, however, contain names of organizations, so something like, Eva Pagneux at Movea would be acceptable.)

Qualcomm is not a good example to cite, because it was not created through the articles for creation process. AfC is designed to catch this sort of problem before an article goes "live," to avoid those issue tags.

The main difference between the article on Hillcrest Labs and your submission is that the Hillcrest Labs article cites independent, reliable sources (mostly newspapers and magazines) to demonstrate notability. Language such as "greatest tech designs ever" in the Hillcrest article is also cited to a source, whereas similar language such as "global leader" in the Movea submission is not.

Dear all, this article as been rejected. The main reason of the rejection, purchased by reviewers, is the lack of independent secondary sources. However, those sources come from independent organizations, where the Curriculm vitae of prof. Drago has been certified:

• "IT-ARVO". http://www.arvo.org/. Retrieved 2013-02-01.

Furthermore, I would highlight that the wikipedia page of another european pharmacologist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrich_Förstermann is published, but I don't get how the references of this page are better than the proposed article of Filippo Drago. Please look at the references of Ulrich Förstermann page:

• http://www.um-mainz.de/
• http://www.unimedizin-mainz.de/pharmakologie/research/molecular-cardiovascular-pharmacology.html?L=1

Please explain me why those references are better than the Articles_for_creation/Filippo_Drago.

Filippo Drago is a european pharmacologist, president of the Federation of European Pharmacological Societies, he is also notable over the europe and worldwide, see http://www.arvo.org/affiliates/#it-arvo and his important publications http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Filippo+Drago.

All references in the article for creation Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Filippo_Drago are reliable and independent.

I don't understand the difference between the pharmacologist Ulrick Förstermann and Filippo Drago Filippo Drago deserves to have a wikipedia page for his important role in the actual scenario of european pharmacology and for his scientific contributions.

He has recently have made an audition with the european commission for the access of poor european nations to innovative drugs: look to the last president's letter at http://www.ephar.org/home.html

The reasons of rejection of the article of Filippo Drago are unacceptable, there must be a possible conflict of interest of reviewers or a their lack of knowledge of the field of pharmacology.

Pchemc (talk) 18:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)pchemc

To editor Pchemc: Independent sources are sources that are produced by someone not associated with the subject. Because Drago's curriculum vitae is written by Drago himself, it is not independent, even if it is published or certified by someone else. Also, notability generally requires significant coverage, which means that people have written about him in detail. The references other than his CV do not discuss him in detail. A final note: Academic publications written by the subject do not count towards notability, unless these publications have been discussed by others.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Robert Schotter

Hi,

My submission was declined on 8 April 2014 by Josve05a because in his opinion the submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability.

In 2005 Robert Schotter won the: Ernst-Schneider-Preis of the Commercial and Industrial Chamber Frankfurt, Germany category technology for the film Aufzüge. The Ernst-Schneider-Preis is one of the finest awards/prizes for journalists for the German-language media market. There is a Wikipedia-page on the Ernst-Schneider-Preis, however in German language only: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst-Schneider-Preis

Please also note that Robert Schotter has an extensive filmography as noted on his German Wipipedia page: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Schotter or on his English IMDb profile http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3323585/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2. I will add these information to the page in question as soon as the submission is accepted.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/MORE-on Productions

Why was the article about MORE-on Productions rejected? There is no article about it on Wikipedia and it is a production company located in Wisconsin. Very little is written about it because the company refuses to buy advertisements on principle. 184.21.184.29 (talk) 12:50, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Advertisements wouldn't help. To have an article on Wikipedia, it is not enough just to exist. For companies, the criteria that must be met are given at this link. Based on the information given in your draft, there are not independent, reliable sources that other people have written about this company at this time. Note that product sites (such as amazon.com) do not establish notability. You might also want to see Wikipedia:Autobiography. I hope that helps! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 14:33, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission Scarebears

I am trying to create an article on a business that I started with my husband that has really taken off. I do not know how to cite it or how to lay it out. The only way to verify is to put links to the webpage, can I do that? This is my first time and I want to make sure I get it right. ThanksNannypoohead (talk) 15:01, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

If you're unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies, the best thing is to hold tight and just concentrate on your company. If it really has taken off, a Wikipedia regular will probably write it. It never hurts to wait. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:28, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Nannypoohead. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your business. Please read the inclusion criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) very carefully before even trying to create a draft. The short answer is that if the only coverage of your business is what your website says about it, then it comprehensively fails the notability criteria and trying to create an article about it is a waste of your time and ours. It will not be accepted. I also suggest you read the guidelines at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before going any further with this. Voceditenore (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Electing to remove an article I've created from AfC

I have recently uploaded an article to AfC (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ayscoghe Boucherett). I have uploaded a similar article (Sir William Earle Welby, 1st Baronet) to the main content space and it has been reviewed successfully; I think that this article would be appropriate as well. He was a Member of Parliament in the UK, so I think he will meet the notability criteria. Is there a way I can opt to put the article straight into the main content area and remove him from AfC? Thanks, Noswall59 (talk) 17:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Wow! This is an excellent article, Noswall59. As you can see, I've moved it into article space at Ayscoghe Boucherett. In future, just go ahead and create your articles directly as you did with Sir William Earle Welby, 1st Baronet. Best wishes, many thanks for your work, and welcome to Wikipedia! Voceditenore (talk) 17:26, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back so quickly! Your comments are good to hear. I will check up on those details for Sir William (as per my talk page) and will, in future, put articles straight out onto the main space unless I have significant doubt about it. Thanks again, Noswall59 (talk) 18:08, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

In general terms, our guidelines for political figures suggest anyone who has ever been an MP in the UK should have an article, which can be easily verified by looking at their entries in the Parliamentary Hansard. Like Voceditenore said, you've got the hang of new content, so you're probably safe enough to create new articles directly in mainspace now. Have you considered filing a Did you Know? entry, so your article can be linked for a short time on Wikipedia's front page? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

While I had hoped they would be considered notable, I was aware that these were relatively minor MPs, so I wasn't sure, but thank you for letting me know. I will look into the DYK in the morning - I hadn't considered it before. I will keep working away at some more MPs and hopefully some more articles will follow. You've all been very helpful and all your feedback has been constructive, so thank you very much. Best wishes, Noswall59 (talk) 23:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

How do I start a new infobox to add to entry. The tutorial on new inboxes begins 'find the infobox'. I need to start one. ChrisKassel (talk) 19:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, ChrisKassel. "Finding the infobox" means finding the template that matches the type of the article subject. For example, there are templates like {{infobox book}} and {{infobox company}} for books and companies, respectively. There is an entire list, but to save you some time, I believe {{infobox musical artist}} is the most appropriate for this one.

Hello Notsniwllewdrib. When a page is accepted, the reviewer will move it into article space. However, I'm afraid there is virtually no chance of this being accepted. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business directory. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) provides guidance on the inclusion criteria for companies. If the only coverage of the business is what its website and that of its marketing partner say about it or its listing in business directories, then it will comprehensively fail the criteria.

Hello Amitava.halder2008. This whole draft is so blatantly promotional that it needs a complete rewrite. The fact that you cannot see this suggests that you are affiliated in some way with the institution, even if you hadn't said so above. It demonstrates why editing with a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. If you do decide to re-write:

• Do not use "we" and "our". You are writing an encyclopedia article in Wikipedia's voice, not an advertising brochure in the subject's voice.
• Do not include "Mission" and "Vision" statements
• Do not paste material from the official website of the institution. It is a copyright infringement. I have removed several chunks from your draft for that reason.
• Do not use evaluative adjectives: "unique", "well-developed", "highly qualified & dedicated", "innovative", etc. etc.
• Read Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines carefully and follow them scrupulously

Finally, your current draft does not have a single reference to a completely independent published source. Such sources are required. Read Wikipedia:Verifiability carefully—all of it. Unless your draft adheres to that, it will never be accepted.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Minnesota State Horticultural Society

Hello,

My article has twice been rejected because the reviewer says it is a blank submission, though in fact I have provided text. The reviewer mentions that I should make sure that any extra text above the entry is removed, as it may be causing it to hide and not be shown to the reviewer. I have done this, but it still is rejected. After I save the draft, I am directed to two subsequent pages; the first instructs you to not change anything--just save the entry, and the second requires a captcha to be completed, and both pages have text boxes. Am I supposed to be pasting my article submission into all three boxes, instead of just the original text box as I've done? ThanksMshs (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Mshs. Sorry if the messages are a bit confusing. I've tried removing some leftover messages that are no longer relevant. I think the best thing to do now is start from the beginning:

1. At the top (towards the right), find the tabs labeled "Read", "Edit", and "View history".
2. Click "Edit".
3. A large text box should appear. Add your text into that box, below any existing text.
4. Save your changes by clicking the "Save page" button below the text box.
5. Make any additional changes by repeating the steps above.
6. After you have done all that, click "Resubmit" in one of the decline notices.
7. Follow the instructions by saving the page. This will submit your article for review.

Review of Draft:Corynopuntia

You mention that the page Corynopuntia already exists. It actually doesn't exist. Presently it's a copy of the page Opuntia, or a link redirecting to that page.
Am I wrong? Seedlens (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seedlens. Corynopuntia is simply a redirect to Opuntia, a genus in which Corynopuntia is sometimes included (according to the Opuntia article). The redirect was created in 2005 and has never had any actual content. There should be no problem in moving the page over the redirect, although it may require an admistrator. I've left a note on your draft to that effect for the eventual reviewer. If you haven't already done so, I suggest getting in touch with WikiProject Plants. The editors there may have some useful input for you and/or even be able to review and move the draft into article space. This isn't a subject area in which I have any experience, but it seems to be a well-written, well-referenced article on a suitable subject. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 13:03, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Directorate of Cooperation of Security and Defence (DCSD)

Hi everyone, I'm new in the wiki community and i just finish to write an article about French DCSD (translated from french wiki page). You can access to it here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Directorate_of_Cooperation_of_Security_and_Defence_%28DCSD%29

However, as it isn't the same way of creating as french page, i'm a bit lost and I don't know how to get this page reviewed and on line.

Your advices are welcome, thanks in advance,

Mel --MelDCSD (talk) 07:42, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Thaddeus Rutkowski

Dear Wikipedia -

I submitted an article on the writer, Thaddeus Rutkowski about a month ago (April 8, it was my 3rd draft). Is there a way to find out the status of my request? Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Randi HoffmanRandihoffman (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Randi. When you go to the submission page, there should be a notice that says "Review waiting"; that means it is still submitted and not declined.

You can continue to improve it at this time. I've improved the formatting of it a bit, but I'd recommend that you go through the editing tutorial to learn a bit more. (I did my best with the "Works" section; I'm not sure if you want to reorganize it.) Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 01:45, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Draft:Jeff Schneider

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeff Schneider I just received a rejection for 'articles for creation'. see Comment: Great swathes of unverifiable and potentially changeable content. Hasteur (talk) 02:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC) and I am confused about what to do next? potentially changeable ? The artist's references seem to be in order and many of his sources are difficult to find, yes a tribute to the era before there was an "online". Also, "dead links" or pay for access to some of the artists recent reviews would help "verify" his credentials. I will click on "Referencing for beginners and Citing sources" but any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You. (Jeff Schneider (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC))

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Yitzhak Yaakov Yellin

Dear help desk representative, In this new article I have translated to English the following Hebrew Wikipedia page: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%97%D7%A7_%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%A7%D7%91_%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9F The article concerns the biography of a notable Israeli journalist and author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dovi.yellin (talk • contribs) 16:49, 6 May 2014 (UTC) I would like to reference the same images that were already uploaded to the Hebrew version of the page. Would this be possible? Many thanks, Dovi Yellin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dovi.yellin (talk • contribs) 16:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

@Dovi.yellin: The images you want to use have been uploaded to Hebrew Wikipedia, not the Commons, so they can't be displayed here by linking to them. You could upload them here or the commons in order to use them. As for your submission, you have a general lack of sources and I'm not sure the subject is notable. Also, if you are related to the subject you are warned to be careful in order not to compromise neutrality. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Mru

I'm wondering why my article was rejected. I wrote about a group of people called, The Mru, who live in the border with India, Bangladesh and Burma. I know that there's already an article on that group, with the name, Mro People, on wikipedia but the information in that article is minimal and the word, "Mru" is more commonly used these days. Moreover, since this is a a group of people that is very isolated, there aren't much sources on that. I used three credible sources to write my article and I don't find any reasons for it to be declined.

Pcms413 (talk) 19:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)pcms413

This is an encyclopedia not a music magazine, so we unpaid volunteers don't schedule our work around what commercial products are being released this week or month.

Based on a little reading, I have accepted this submission with some serious problems noted on the page, so it's up to you to fix those problems before anyone decides to do anything about them.

In particular, a couple of the URLs you give as references simply lead to the home page of the publication concerned, which in turn do not mention Singleton at all. This is wrong because it's misleading. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of User:Grand'mere Eugene/Jacob Nist

1. This is a substantially revised version based on a previously deleted article. But the original Wikipedia article has been replicated on other websites—how to avoid plagiarism charge? 2. Some factual material was in original article, without citations. 3. Are citations of census data considered “original research”? 4. There were 4 photos in the original article—I don’t own the copyright, and don’t know who originally posted them. I do have jpg versions of the two portraits and the Holyrood family home. Can they still be used? Nist’s tombstone photo is still on Wikimedia Commons, but I didn’t have time to figure out how to include it: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacob_Nist%27s_Tombstone.jpg

Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 04:23, 7 May 2014 (UTC)Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Grand'mere Eugene

Hi Grand'mere Eugene. The replication on other websites will normally say that Wikipedia was the source. I found one which does: http://www.mauspfeil.net/Jacob_Nist.html. That should take care of plagiarism charges. On the whole census data are considered primary sources and need to be used with caution, but may be OK for referencing basic facts, especially if the person is no longer living. Wikipedia:WPNOTRS has more on this. As for the images, if you didn't take them, they can't be uploaded to Commons. However, provided you supply the original source, his portrait could be uploaded to Wikipedia under Fair use (historic image of a long-deceased person). Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria has more on this. In my view, the speedy deletion in 2008 was inappropriate, as the article had survived AfD [5]. If nothing else, a new AfD should have been started. In any case, I have moved your draft into article space at Jacob Nist, where you can continue to work on it. The new version is much more encyclopedic with adequate (if not perfect) referencing. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gary "The Wagman" Wagner

I'm an experienced editor who answered a new editor's question at the Help Desk. I also left a welcome message on their talk page. About a month later, they asked a question on their talk page about their AFC submission. Since it was on my watchlist, I saw the question and responded that I'd check out the article and possibly review it. I've since added my name to the reviewers list and reviewed the article (declined it to be specific). But when the script ran, the decline notice was left on my own talk page and not that of the creator of the AFC submission. Since I'm new to this, could someone explain to me what triggered the script to tell me that the article was declined and not the original editor?

Also, I left a lengthy comment on how to improve the article but it only shows up in the edit window. What did I do wrong when reviewing it that made the comment not visible on the article itself?

Thanks, Dismas|^(talk) 08:01, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Dismas. I fixed your comment so it shows now. I think the problem was the "|" in your custom signature. In future, sign your comment after the last }} of the template. As for the other problem, hopefully someone else can explain that. I never use the script myself. I find it fiddly, buggy, and inflexible, which means I can't decline draft submissions. But if I accept one, I simply move it manually to article space and write a personalised note to the creator. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 09:17, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I figured it had something to do with my sig but didn't know what and since this was my first, I wasn't sure how the syntax needed to change for it to be right. Dismas|^(talk) 09:30, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

David Haldeman haldemandavid@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djhaldeman (talk • contribs) 13:44, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello David. I had a look at the version you submitted. It didn't make clear what the article was about and appeared to be about the word "terradise" itself. I have re-written it with improved references, which will give it a better chance of being accepted. It may be that it still wouldn't pass the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. I'll be taking some advice on that, but if it isn't likely to pass, the material can certainly be included in the article Caledonia, Ohio. Two words of caution, though.

1. Your text was a verbatim paste from http://terradise.org/history/ which was clearly marked: Copyright © 2013 Terradise. Don't be tempted to paste any further material from there or any other website. It is a copyright infringement, and will be removed immediately. In addition, such text is often unencyclopedic and/or promotional in tone and therefore unusable here—even if it weren't an infringement.
2. If you have any affiliation whatsoever to terradise.org, you need to read our conflict of interest guidelines and follow them scrupulously. And, the article should not be used to promote or even mention companies such as Terradise Design or Terradise Computer Systems which are owned by the descendants of Trella Hemmerly Haldeman Romine, who donated the land for the nature preserve.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr._Jürg_Witmer

Hi there,

we are stuck, are article got denied twice now. We are using Wikipedia links as references already (it's a suggestion). Can you please provide a very clear feedback why our article got denied. Which links should be replaced / are not trustworthy?

We are working on this article for 5 months now without any success or concrete feedback what we are doing wrong.

The first feedback was: "This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner."

We than corrected according to the mentioned points. But now it got denied because of:

"This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject."

-> We did Wikipedia referencing. Also we added sources that are entirely independet. Please tell us which links are not ok and what to change. We checked a lot of other CEO Wikipages to get where we are today, yet still it's refused...

-> Evidence of being Chairman of some of the biggest organizations in Switzerland and in the invitation list to the Global leaders organization. What else does one have to be to be notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infocentric (talk • contribs) 14:38, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you.

BoxingfanaticBoxsportsfacts (talk) 14:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

You have listed your references but it's not clear what you have tried because I don't see where you actually saved the article with any of your attempts. At the very least, try this: Edit your article again and after each sentence or paragraph, put the URL of the source in between two ref tags like this <ref>URL goes here with no other text</ref> Don't worry if they don't look "pretty" or anything. As long as the URLs are there, making the reference pretty and standardized is a minor thing. Dismas|^(talk) 20:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

I think you are talking about User:Senay575/sandbox. The message at User talk:Senay575 gives you a link to information about copyright violations, and that explains what the process is for the owner of the copyright to donate coprighted material. You need to bear in mind, however, that material already published elsewhere might not be written in the neutral point of view which Wikipedia requires, so you are usually better off writing the material in your own words, and giving the original source as a reference. Good luck with your studies. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:27, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

I now see that your user page User:Senay575 is a straight copy of material from http://www.liverpoolymca.org.uk/about-us/ and subsidiary pages. Wikipedia treats its legal requirement regarding copyright very seriously, so I have had to tag the page for speedy deletion. Before you start to prepare a draft of a first article, please read the links about copyright carefully, and also some other useful links which I've put on your user talk page, including WP:Your first article. If you try to recreate a user page (as distinct from a sandbox draft of an article), it should be for the purposes described at WP:user pages. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:42, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Nick. As the notice at the top of the article says, it was declined because it seems like an advertisement. The specific characteristics (color, chain, basket, etc.) should be taken out unless they have been talked about by independent, reliable sources of information (newspapers, magazines, or other publications). You talk about "notable" characteristics; notability on Wikipedia means just that: discussion in independent reliable sources, so if they really are notable, cite some sources that mention them specifically. You should also check if the company itself is notable (as an organization). Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 21:47, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Verherlop. Do you also have an account at Caveprol? That is where I found a draft by that name. If you want to use a new account, that is fine, but make sure not to use both unless you have a legitimate purpose.

Based on messages for that other account, one of the articles was deleted because it did not cite reliable sources of information. Wikipedia cannot accept personal knowledge, because other people cannot verify it (check that it is accurate). This is especially important when the article includes information about living people. The other one was deleted because it was not changed in six months.

If you want both of these back so you can work on them, you can make a request for undeletion. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 21:36, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/JackSepticEye

Hi, I am curious as to why my page for JackSepticEye, a relatively famous YouTuber was taken down. I understand it some information that constantly changes in the pages, but I was going to edit that. I feel if someone was just curios as to who he was, because he's getting talked about quite a bit now, they should be able to read a brief wiki page. All my sources were cited, even though I only had one source, and that was the man himself, but I did link his YouTube page because that's the only place I heard the information. AlmostNeity (talk) 21:52, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

To editor AlmostNeity: If you got it from "the man himself," that's a problem. Sources must be published, that is, made public in some way. This makes sure that content can be verified, that is, checked for accuracy. If he really is "getting talked about quite a bit now," there should be something published about him. It could be a newspaper or magazine article, or a segment on a reputable television/radio/online media show. If there are, cite them. This takes care of verifiability as well as notability, both of which are required on Wikipedia. If not, then it may just be too soon for him to have an article.
