I essentially made all the revisions that I felt needed to be made to the Deposit a Gift company page, but I am still having trouble with a couple of things. I am having a difficult time inserting an image into the infobox. In addition, the reviewer told me that each of my sources were unacceptable, which I disagreed with. I thoroughly read through both articles that the reviewer provided me with prior to actually writing the first draft, and I looked at the sources used by competitors as well. I would highly appreciate it if I received a more thorough review this time so that I can make the necessary corrections to ultimately complete an acceptable wiki page. Thank you for your understanding.

07:04:18, 20 August 2014 review of draft by BrandonWalker2014


Hello, Can a Wiki expert/administrator please assist me with formatting. For some reason, (i do not know) the "Filmography" section table is below the "Reference" section. How can I correct this formatting to put the "Filmography table" underneath "Filmography. Also, can you please review the entire article and give feedback/corrections on any errors that you may see in this article, to ensure it is correct and ready to go live?

12:34:29, 20 August 2014 review of submission by BEDownes


First, I am not asking for a re-review of the Virginia Myers article as yet. I just need a bit of help in what I should do. I do plan to do a much longer article about this extraordinary dancer whose achievements have been largely lost to history over the last 80 or 90 years. But that is certainly about to change. The large amount of documentation I discovered in a sealed box in an art storage room titled "VIRGINIA DANCES" amazed and startled me in what it revealed about a truly unique and unmatched creative talent who was the talk of New York for her entire dance career between the ages of 4 and 17.

By the way all the information and documentation about her career has now been chosen to be part of the Jerome Robbins Dance Collection at the Lincoln Center Library of the Performing Arts.

I had intended the short article I put together only to be a stepping stone to the full article to come. I had included a number of references and direct quotes from newspaper reviews and articles about her over the years, including the name of the paper and the date. I assume what is needed as proper reference are the actual newspaper pieces including a specific date or whatever.

What I also don't know is how much of this documentary material should be included. I did do quite a good article for Wikipedia on Ethel Myers, Virginia's mother and an excellent New York artist. This was with the invaluable advice and guidance of Sarasays of the Wikipedia family.) The little Virginia Myers is a very different challenge. Ethel was one of many fine artists at that time and she did some excellent work. Virginia was a creative dancer like no other in the field of arts or dance had ever seen before and as far as my research goes, there's never been a dancer since that could perform as she could. She is probably the greatest intuitive creative dancer the world has ever witnessed. Anywhere. That's a hell of a statement to make about anybody in the arts at anytime, but it seems to fit in this case. Though I've been a successful professional in both television and film, I still can't understand how it was possible she did the sort of solo dancing she did. This was totally without her ever having a single dance lesson and never even rehearsing for a dance concert before she performed.

Anyway if you have the time you might want to take a look at a site I've been working on about her. Here is a link to it. http://ques.com/virginia%20dances/

The first four pages are virtually complete, you need not look at the remaining pages which are largely no more than a starting point. Still the first four will tell you most of what you might want to know, and the detailed page 4 gives you a good assortment of the supporting documentation that is available (still only part of the full total).

Also I'll paste in here just the copy from page two of the site. It offers one of a great many reviews that were published about "little Virginia" over the years. I think you might find it interesting.

Thank you for your help and also for rejecting a largely unfinished article. I had thought the newspaper quotations were at least some indication that she certainly was a notable candidate for inclusion in Wikipedia.

My regards, BEDownes (talk) 12:34, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


BEDownes (talk) 12:34, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is a strong likelihood that she is notable, and also that the newspaper items you refer to may show it. I think the issue has been the review did not spot those because they are in "A chronology of newspaper and other clippings" rather than in references. So I looked at them hard to determine whether the article could be accepted almost 'as is' today.
My view is "Almost". This is the same as "No", by the way.
The thing that would turn this into a definite acceptance for me is the dates of the reviews, the day and month and year. We need, you see, for references to be capable of verification themselves. Do that and there is a string probability that a reviewer will accept it like a shot, but put them in the "References" section.
Your idea to start with a small article and to build is the right one. Our cornerstone is that we require references from significant coverage about the person, and independent of her, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. This is as true with 1912 references as 2014 ones.

I respect all the work you people do. But there should be a database that when submissions are entered they able to be easily viewed and edits can be made and reviewed. My original article which was deleted, I entered another which wasn't available on wikipedia and I haven't received any response and have no idea what the status is.

Hello Joe. Sorry that the system isn't as easy to use as it should be. Your earlier draft article is still awaiting its second review at Draft:Brian "Glaze" Gibbs. It is almost certain to be declined, however; June 13, 1990 is still not "yesterday"! Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:34, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

06:54:17, 22 August 2014 review of submission by Dtrident

It looks very unclear and difficult to get approval for any newly written article. Is it because we need to pay anyway to those editors, that said they have privilege to edit as an "encyclopedia way"? (I'm honestly not very happy with that experience!) Please provide me a reasonable explanation. Thanks so much! Dtrident (talk) 06:54, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No-one ever suggested that writing an article to a high standard was easy. You may be confusing the simplicity of creating an article with the complexity of making sure it passed WP:42, something your brief words with a single reference do not. You may waste your money by paying someone to write something, certainly, or you could actually do the small work required to find references yourself. WIkipedia has standards and those are inviolate. YOur article looks pretty much like a poor piece of promotion, not an article. Instead of complaining it would be far more useful to do the work.
Because of your complaint I perceive that you have a conflict of interest. It would be worth your reading about that.
Improve the article and resubmit it. Alternatively, "If at first you don't succeed, give up. No-one wants to fail twice." I think that was Homer Simpson among others. Fiddle Faddle 08:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

13:52:24, 24 August 2014 review of submission by 88.164.181.110

My article about a UNESCO senior manager was rejected without any comments. Why is that? Is there any limitation on such personalities. I know of many UN senior manager who have their Wikipedia page. I can provide several examples from UNESCO itself. Why reject this one person? If you have issues with the content why not informing of your concerns?

I thought Wikipedia belonged to all of us and as long as the content was accurate we could publish articles on any subject. Clearly, I was mistaken.

88.164.181.110 (talk) 13:52, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't belong to anyone. No, Wikipedia does not publish articles on any subject. The criteria for whether to include or accept an article about a person (including UN senior managers) are at Wikipedia:Notability (people). If there are existing articles about other UN senior managers that do not meet any of these criteria, you are welcome to nominate them for deletion. It may well be that your article was not in fact rejected, or not in fact rejected without any comments, but since there is nothing at Draft:Saniye Gulser Corat, we can't tell. Please could you link us to the page in question, or even the page where you were notified about this? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 15:04, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am hoping that someone can please read my article for submission. I have been waiting almost a month for another review on an article that has been in the works since early June. I have made significant changes as per the last editor's advice. I really feel this is a good article that is worthy of publication. Can someone please help?

Emiskew (talk) 14:40, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Emiskew: no Declined I think the genesis of your difficulty is that you're trying to write a puff piece and you're using unreliable sources to support those assertions. By my count you have three, maybe four, reliable sources. Instead, cut down the draft and use like 80% reliable sources (leaving only 20% of the PR stuff) and then ask for another review. Try adding this book, this book, this book, this piece from The Guardian, and this piece from The Globe and Mail. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:18, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris, I have to disagree. Is our submission being declined, simply because it has been declined in the past? Our sources are entirely independent and reliable. Can I request a review of this review? Emiskew (talk) 16:25, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Emiskew: All reviews are reviews of the article as it stands today. Prior reviews are read with interest to see if the work either has been done or if the current reviewer agrees with the prior reviewers. Your draft is being declined because it stands very little chance of surviving as an article as it stands. Our objective is to seek to avoid summary deletion of your work when it is accepted. We tend to know what will and will not make the grade. If you think this process is hard you really do not want to experience a deletion discussion. Cut your article to the bare minimum necessary to make the grade. Use robust citations that pass WP:RS. We have no interest in declining article for the sake of it. All that does is creates a longer backlog. Once you understand that we want to accept articles you may start to take our advice better. Work with us not against us. Fiddle Faddle 16:31, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I am requesting another review of my draft article. We have used entirely independent third-party sources, yet the editors appear to simply repeat the feedback of the last editor, who has rejected it. The article has been changed to cite only THIRD PARTY SOURCES! If someone takes the time to read each reference, they will realize this. Please, can someone help?

Emiskew (talk) 16:32, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Emiskew: There is a substantial difference between "Third Party Sources" and significant coverage about the entity, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42.
Again, let me reiterate, we want to accept articles. You are simply making it hard for us to do so. Read my reply to you above.
Not every corporation is notable. If March Networks is, then look hard at WP:42 and show it well. The references you have so far are well placed PR pieces, but that does not make them independent.
You do not need to open a new section, by the way. Please continue to comment in this one. Fiddle Faddle 16:40, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You might also look at the list CT has suggested of potential references. He may be blunt in his words at times but he usually hits the nail on the head. Fiddle Faddle 16:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC

The Bloomberg URL is a company profile, not a news article. The other sources you listed are good. The problem is that the few journalistic sources you do have don't convince me of notability, which is why I suggested other sources you can add to it. @JSFarman: would you want to review this submission?

I agree with Tim and Chris' assessment. Tim's already reviewed it, but I would have come to the same conclusion. The only difference in our opinion would be that I wouldn't consider ABCfunds.com a valid source, since the author of the article is an investor in the company. JSFarman (talk) 20:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I had expressed doubts about that one based on needing to know more about the link between the two. This draft as it stands is quite a lot of WP:BOMBARD and needs to be cut right back to basics.

It is awaiting a reviewer who feels they have the competence to review it. Sometimes one needs extra patience. To help with the review, are you able to find any online versions of the print media you are using as a reference. It is not mandatory, but, if you can find it, it may speed the reviewer's hand.

It is submitted just fine. It will not be accepted in the state it is in at present because the tone is promotional. Please edit it to a "Dull but worthy" tone. Fiddle Faddle 06:56, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

09:34:30, 26 August 2014 review of submission by The Editor is Here


Hello, I have a few questions concerning an edit on a recent draft that I made (still waiting for a review). I replaced one of the article’s sources with an independent source from a national German business newspaper and noted a plainly stated fact about the company, but yet it was tagged in the Revision History as being “Possible self-promotion in userspace”. I’m not sure why adding a more reliable/independent third party source to an article would be flagged like this… should I be concerned, and will this eventually be removed? What could I do to avoid this from reoccurring in the future? Thank you for your help. The Editor is Here (talk) 09:34, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect a gremlin in a filter. Unless it happens often, when there will be some sort of mechanism to report it (Probably at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/354 ) just ignore it. I may have missed something, of course. Fiddle Faddle 09:43, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I found the location to make a report of a false positive, and have done so on your behalf. Fiddle Faddle 10:21, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I created an article in my sandbox and it was approved. I now want to create another one but my previous article is still in my sandbox. What do I do?

It wasn't in your sandbox; your sandbox was redirecting to the accepted article, as is the norm when a draft is accepted. I've removed the redirect for you. Your sandbox is now free again for you to use. Bellerophon talk to me 20:46, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I essentially made all the revisions that I felt needed to be made to the Deposit a Gift company page, but I am still having trouble with a couple of things. I am having a difficult time inserting an image into the infobox. In addition, the reviewer told me that each of my sources were unacceptable, which I disagreed with. I thoroughly read through both articles that the reviewer provided me with prior to actually writing the first draft, and I looked at the sources used by competitors as well. I would highly appreciate it if I received a more thorough review this time so that I can make the necessary corrections to ultimately complete an acceptable wiki page. Thank you for your understanding. Danaostomel (talk) 21:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
