Hi. I was wondering if there is any way I can find out which references did not follow the guidelines of Wikipedia so I can edit my submission accordingly

01:08:00, 31 October 2017 review of submission by MelodyAnn


MelodyAnn (talk) 01:08, 31 October 2017 (UTC) Hello! Here's the article in question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MelodyAnn/sandbox I want to be clear as to what the issues are before proceeding. The article was rejected because the references and cites are not significant enough or notable enough in their own right, correct? It has nothing to do with wording or the way I cited them, correct? So, I need to find more reputable media discussing the topic and backing up what I described? Thank you for your time! MelodyAnn (talk) 01:08, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on Wikipedia must meet a notability criterion, in this case WP:EVENT. It looks like you currently have two arguably reliable sources: [1] and [2] which is the minimum required. Additionally WP:EVENT requires non-local (national or international) coverage for these subjects. I think you've arguably minimally met that requirement too. In summary, you're at the edge of meeting our notability requirement. If you can find one more non-local source, there should be no question. ~Kvng (talk) 13:13, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MelodyAnn: I concur with Kvng. blog.sonicbids.com is self-published, so it is not a reliable source. Remove it from the draft. Tigerbill.com is questionable; it may be better to remove it. I've added other potential sources to a "Further reading" section. Accessing some of them may require going to a library and using a database such as ProQuest, or asking at WP:RX. The New York Times is the strongest source; use it to support as much as it can. The Morning Call and other local newspapers are next best.
The blue wall of text under "Notable performances" is awkward. Grouping musicians into Blues Hall of Famers, Rock n' Roll Hall of Famers, etc. is somewhat useful, but may not be the best portrayal of the festival, which typically has one big name per day and a bunch of lesser-known local talents. Consider breaking the list of performers up by period - either by decade or at some inflection point in the history of the festival, such as when it expanded beyond one day or when it added a second stage. See Grant Park Music Festival for an example of more readable prose about performances, but please don't mimic that article's awful use of pictures. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:16, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

03:15:39, 31 October 2017 review of submission by M-Lee-T


I got a rejection, with some helpful suggestions (and some not so helpful. Editors need to abide by your rule, "Be Nice!") I have produced huge documents for Fortune 500 companies and comparable utilities. I don't need snide remarks. It is a very different style.

I have made a lot of changes but am awaiting help on some others. My only choice seems to be to resubmit it. Can't I save what I have already done in order to work on it again tomorrow? I realize it is not ready for resubmission.

One big thing apparently is that you don't cite other Wiki pages. I don't know how the links are established which appear when you run your cursor over a phrase and it changes color and gives you the link. Those would remove at least half of my 'citations'. Just don't know how. Liam Goligher is someone who is tied in with dozen of people and organizations which already have a Wiki page. He was on the Board of Directors of some, was a major speaker or teacher at others. Hardly an insignificant person. All his predecessors have Wiki pages.

Why so abrupt in rejecting it? My citations are to the greatest Christian magazines and news outlet in North America serving directly and indirectly tens of millions of readers. The NY Times covers almost nothing about religion, but this comes close to a combination of NYT and Newsweek for Christians.

Also, I need help for using some ISBN software, or does Wiki do it automatically. Also, large, bound sets of CD or MP3 discs do not seem to have ISBN numbers. Or am I wrong? These sets are having a major impact across North America and are important. Not every published these days in is print or even readable format online. At just one conference, 600 people grabbed these sets.

Thanking you in advance for helping me where you can.

M-Lee-T (talk) 03:15, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@M-Lee-T: As an example, I turned one of the references to Wikipedia in Draft:Liam Goligher into an internal link, using double square brackets around the term. See WP:Linking for more details. As a second example, I modified the first two entries in the list of works to use cite book templates, which results in the ISBN linking effect that I think you were driving at. For more information see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works.
I also left a basket of links on your talk page that may help you navigate what is a very different writing environment and type of writing. Trying to create a new article is diving in at the deep end, and you've done it from the 10-meter board to boot. If you want to practice your technique a bit before your next big submission, we have over 5 million articles that could be improved. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:08, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

11:58:16, 31 October 2017 review of submission by Haniazaatari

I would like to know if it is possible to add a contributor/editor to help with referencing my article. And if it is possible to protect my article later on from vandalism or future unapproved edits. Haniazaatari (talk) 11:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:OWN, no one person owns or controls specific articles (including approving edits).Naraht (talk) 14:07, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can I still have a contributor to help me writing and proving the person i am writing about is notable?

I can take a look, if you like, but I don't have much knowledge in the field. In this sort of situation, I would recommend copying the structure of another similar article. From my limited knowledge of the field, it would seem that Kahlil Gibran is a very good article, though with significantly more information that you have. However, don't feel that you need to get to that level. There are several other articles under Category:Lebanese poets that may be more useful guides. Also, see Help:Arabic if you need any help on getting the language correct in wikipedia.Naraht (talk) 14:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 21:17:24, 31 October 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Atilab


I want to know about getting my article 'Victorino Tejera' indexed at google. I have supplied the best sources I know of and will continue to supply additional historic citations as I get them.

Thanks Atila

Atilab (talk) 21:17, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Atilab we have no way of influencing when and how Google finds and indexes new articles. It can take anything from a few minutes to several days, all we can do is wait. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

03:01:43, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Whitney N

Guys, thanks very much for inviting here and having me as a Teahouse guest. I need help to re-write the contents according to Wikipedia guidelines. Any tip?

Whitney N (talk) 03:01, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Whitney N: For starters, perhaps read WP:CITEKILL.
The purpose of a WP article is to say something about its subject. What you have proposed so far is little more than an entry in a business directory. If any of those many sources are saying something substantial about the company, you should be able to use that as the basis for more words than you currently have. At a minimum, an article must make some declaration about why the subject is notable. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

10:59:03, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Arun Ravi


Arun Ravi (talk) 10:59, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let me try to answer your unwritten question...
Most Wikipedia editors do not have articles on Wikipedia about them because they do not qualify as notable by WP's standards. Your draft does not even begin to make a claim for why you are notable and has no references at all. Citations to independent reliable sources are required for all new articles. You may want to read the information about why autobiography is discouraged on Wikipedia. You are, however, permitted to include some information about yourself and your activities on Wikipedia on your user page User:Arun Ravi, but this should generally not be formatted as an imitation article and is permitted only if you are otherwise contributing as a Wikipedia editor. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 14:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

12:35:53, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Dana Saravia

Good morning!! I submitted an article for review about filmmaker Dan Bell back in August. I received a note back that I needed more information regarding why he is notable for Wikipedia. Dan also has an extensive and ever-growing list of short films on IMDb, including one series, "Another Dirty Room", which is not only gaining in popularity, but has also recently been picked up by Amazon for their Prime streaming service. Dan has also recently appeared on NPR being interviewed about both of his very popular YouTube based series, "Dead Malls" and "Another Dirty Room". Please contact me as soon as you can with regards to what I can further include to make sure Dan gets an entry so any future press can refer to Wiki for reliable information. Very much appreciated!! All of your help is--I regularly rely on Wiki for research and your information on a wide array of people and subjects is a huge help. So I really hope Dan Bell's entry can be a part of it all soon :D

Sincerely, Dana Saravia Dana Saravia (talk) 12:35, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dana Saravia: regarding Draft:Dan Bell. The citations on the draft are promising but don't clearly demonstrate notability to the reviewer (Aguyintobooks). If you can add one or two more reliable sources that contain significant coverage of the subject (not just his projects), I think you should be able to resubmit and have the draft accepted. The NPR coverage you mention sounds like a great thing to add. ~Kvng (talk) 14:11, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

12:48:22, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Traci Morgan


References and citations are added and edited. They follow the instructions and are much the same as I have seen in many other biographies. Can someone look at the specific citations/references and advise which are acceptable and which are not acceptable.

@Traci Morgan: I apologize for the complaints from past reviewers about formatting and other less important issues. Reviewers have acknowledged that the subject is notable. I have removed a copyright violation issue and have moved the draft to mainspace: Aaron L. Brody. Congratulations and, again, apologies for any injuries you may have sustained. We really don't want this process to feel like a gauntlet. ~Kvng (talk) 14:31, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

13:56:56, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Omega68537

There are relatively little information in websites about Xu Geyang,and there are completely no useful information on books because Xu Geyang is a very new singer.I want to find more useful information to show the notability of Xu Geyang(She is probably notable enough for Wikipedia),but I can't find any.Can someone look at the specific citations/references and advise which are acceptable and which are not acceptable. And can I use what Xu Geyang said in interviews(by well-known medias)as information in article? How to write the lead better?

Omega68537 13:56, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

@Omega68537: first, please have a look and make sure that WP:TOOSOON does not apply to this subject. Second, although it is acceptable to use foreign-language (Chinese) sources here on the English Wikipedia, it may be difficult for the (generally) English-speaking reviewers here to assess the quality and content of these sources. I regret that I am not qualified to do so. The upshot is that it may take a while for a reviewer to WP:VOLUNTEER to assess your draft and if they don't fully appreciate the Chinese sources you've provided, it may be more likely to get rejected. For these reasons, it is always helpful to include one or two English sources. ~Kvng (talk) 14:40, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kvng:I'm a Chinese,so it's difficult for me to find English source.I didn't find any English source that is very suitable for Wikipedia yet.And more suggestions,please!

~Omega68537 13:30, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Omega68537: I've done a quick news search of English sources (see Draft_talk:Xu_Geyang) and only found passing mentions in association with Sing! and sex tapes. If reliable Chinese sources are not providing more detailed coverage, it will be WP:TOOSOON for Wikipedia to accept a draft on this subject. ~Kvng (talk) 23:17, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

20:22:58, 1 November 2017 review of submission by Cesarromero

I'm not quite sure why this was declined. I have viewed other entries that are listed and only have one reference to that person on IMDb and maybe one other article. Any help would be appreciated because I referenced several online sources for this person. I have read quite a lot of the help section to try to figure it out but I am at a loss for how to change this. Thank you. Cesarromero (talk) 20:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cesarromero: Hello, Cesar. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the person who looked at it. I see that you have already contacted that person and I trust you will receive a response soon. If they don't get back to you in a day or two, feel free to ask again here. If we can be of assistance in any other way, please let us know. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:55, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cesarromero: I've left a note about sources on this draft at Draft talk:Mark Durbin. If this does not answer your question, let us know. ~Kvng (talk) 23:24, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm still slightly confused. I see other entries that are active that have only one or two references and the main one being to an entry on IMDb? I wonder then that these rejections would apply to many actors and entertainment people that I am able to look up on here that have very few credits or "household" recognition? There are also Hollywood acting teachers, etc. listed that have very little written about them or they are just mentioned in the articles cited for reference. They certainly aren't known anywhere else except in small circles in Los Angeles. Why did they get approved? Did those just slip by or..?

@Cesarromero: Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality content and low quality content. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines does not mean they have been in any way "approved". It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Abdhasan85: Hello, Abdhasan. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Did you have a specific question? NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:45, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@NewYorkActuary: Hello, NewYorkActuary. Why is my article declined ? Abdhasan85 (talk)
@Abdhasan85: Hello again. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who looked at it. You can find that person's name and Talk page link in the "decline box" near the top of your submission. But I took a quick look myself and saw that I too would have declined it, and for the same reason -- you haven't demonstrated that your company has been discussed by anyone other than the company itself. The company's website, its LinkedIn profile, and its Twitter and Facebook pages -- none of this provides any evidence that the company has achieved encyclopedic notability. And until you do provide such evidence, it is unlikely that your draft will be accepted for publication. You can learn more about proper sourcing by reading WP:Reliable sources. One last point -- the correct way to sign your postings on Talk pages is to end it by typing four tildes (i.e., ~~~~) at the end of the post. There is a button at the bottom of the edit screen that, if clicked, will do this automatically. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:56, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

20:12:25, 2 November 2017 review of submission by Enso12345

The jiu jitsu tournament circuit is fairly new. How do I get verifiable facts about this organisation outside of its own website? Enso12345 (talk) 20:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Enso12345: The way to try to find information is the same as with any other subject. A librarian may be able to suggest specific places to look. If you find little or no independent coverage of The Eternal Cup Series, that will tell you that it is not a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Enso12345: Also be aware that if the subject is new, there simply may not yet be adequate WP:SECONDARY coverage of the subject and it would therefore be WP:TOOSOON to create a Wikipedia article on this subject. ~Kvng (talk) 23:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

12:50:04, 3 November 2017 review of submission by Phoenixqueen


I wrote an article about a subject Miss saHHara. But recently, someone had the article's title and the subject name changed by moving the article to a new link. I corrected the name changes and supplied references from the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miss_Sahhara&oldid=808434493 The person changed the title text from 'Miss saHHara' to 'Miss Sahhara'. Unfortunately, that is not how her public name is spelt. Can you undo the changes this person made please. Below is her website where she stated how her name is spelt and BBC did referenced it too. She uses her stage name 'Miss saHHara' only because of the death threats she gets from Nigerians. It is stated and referenced why she keeps her legal names private in the article. I couldnt undo the edit since I am not yet an 'Autoconfirmed User'.

I hope you can help. Thank you in advance. Regards.

Below are the links and references to the right spelling of Miss saHHara's names. http://www.misssahhara.com/disclaimer/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-36168661/trans-woman-i-left-nigeria-to-save-my-life

Phoenixqueen (talk) 12:50, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Phoenixqueen: Hello, Phoenixqueen. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. The titling of an article is oftentimes something that needs to be discussed and debated amongst editors who hold different viewpoints. Your best course of action right now is to engage in discussion with the person who moved the article to its new name, specifically asking which portion of WP:TITLE they are invoking in moving it to that new name. You can have that discussion on that person's Talk page, but it is better to have it on the Talk page of the affected article, where the results will be visible to future editors of the article. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk)
@NewYorkActuary: Thank you so much for the prompt reply. The person who made this changes quoted your Carmel case guideline.

But the guideline allows this type of spelling. So it is a bit confusing. The person said I should 'It is a Wikipedia guideline to avoid the use of Camel Case, so your presentation is not acceptable. 'But the carmel case in this case seem to be accepted from the quote below gotten from the Camel Case page:' In the case of this exception, rephrase to avoid beginning sentences with such trademarks: avoid: eBay is where he bought his iPod. instead, use: He bought his iPod on eBay.' You read it on here: Camel Case. Since the subject I am writing about is a transgender woman and she identifies as 'Miss saHHara'. Should the way the person identifies not be important in the spelling? Please help to revert it back if you can. Thank you again. Phoenixqueen (talk) 14:48, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Phoenixqueen: The above is exactly the discussion you need to be having on the draft's talk page. Further discussion here on this help page is unlikely to resolve the dispute. If I were you, I would concentrate on getting the draft accepted with any reasonable spelling variation for the title. The title can be changed just as easily once that article has been accepted than before. If you put a lot of energy into this discussion now, you may find yourself starting all over again once the article is published and more editors have an opportunity to review it an further improve it. ~Kvng (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

18:47:16, 3 November 2017 review of submission by Malemseged

The draft I submitted for review was declined, due to it seemingly being promotional/biased. I would like to request that someone help me understand which sections seem promotional - because it seems to me that the article is simply factual - and/or that I get assistance making the article sound more unbiased. Malemseged (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Malemseged: The draft contains a lot of unsourced material and reads like a resume. The best thing you can do to improve the draft at this time is to delete unsourced material and make sure that everything that remains is verifyable through WP:RELIABLE or at least WP:INDEPENDENT sources. ~Kvng (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Review of submission by Orangegeum


I want to reply to, and give thanks for, a response from Worldbruce made back in September to my request for help on an article, but the conversation is now archived. I suspect it's very simple but I can't work out how to do this. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you. Orangegeum (talk) 13:02, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Orangegeum: Hello, Orangegeum. The discussion you had with Worldbruce was here and I see that you've already followed some of that advice. Before posting here, I re-formatted one of your references using the {{cite news}} template, which you can use as an example for re-doing the rest. (There are plenty of useful citation templates and you might find {{cite web}} more appropriate for some of the other references.) You can also improve the appearance of the draft by conforming it to some of the basic elements of our Manual of Style. First, per WP:REFPUNCT, the reference markers go after, not before, the sentence's final punctuation mark. And you are making inordinate use of italics. See MOS:ITALICS for more detail on this. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:21, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

14:49:55, 4 November 2017 review of submission by A7FL


Submitted blank page by mistake. Used EDIT to add page content.

@A7FL: Hello, A7FL. Your submission is in the queue to be reviewed but, because we are very backlogged here, it might take a month before a reviewer gets a chance to look at it. In the meantime, you should be aware that, in its current state, it is very unlikely that the draft will be accepted for publication. It has no sourcing, which is a serious defect especially in the case of a biography of a living person. I strongly urge you to spend the time to find reliable independent sources that discuss the subject and that do so in some depth. You can learn more detail on this by reading WP:Reliable sources and WP:General notability guidelines. Also, I see that your user name is the same as the organization founded by the draft's subject. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to take a look at our conflict-of-interest guidelines. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Now I can sure that WP:TOOSOON does not apply to my article.Thaks for @Kvng:'s suggestion.I can sure that Xu Geyang is notable enough for Wikipedia,because some BLPs about people who are less notable than Xu Geyang are accepted.But I can't find enough reliable references to show her notability better.So I still need some suggestions to increase the probability of being accepted.

Omega68537 13:15, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@Omega68537: Worldbruce had a nice response above that I'm going to reuse here: "Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality content and low quality content. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines does not mean they have been in any way "approved". It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best." ~Kvng (talk) 14:50, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure what extra information is required on this post. As the owners of The Rochdale Herald are clearly using pseudonyms to protect their identity it's pretty much impossible to unearth more details about their background and involvement in other sites. I feel their increasing popularity warrants a wiki entry, which hopefully will be fleshed out further as more information comes to light. I have checked entries for similar sites such as Southend News Network and honestly can't see what else I can add at this time.

@Timhosking: There is a question here about whether the sources show significant coverage. This can be a bit subjective. The original reviewer, Narutolovehinata5, thought not. I beleive the draft includes an adequately diverse set of sources on multiple stories run by the subject. Therefore, I have resubmitted the draft under your name and, as a reviewer here, have accepted it into the encyclopedia. It is still possible that others find fault with these actions now or at a later date and request that the article be deleted. ~Kvng (talk) 20:58, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 06:39:10, 6 November 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Hlkegs


Could you make it somehow obvious that you are supposed to request creation for redirects elsewhere than this? The article wizard that you forced me through made no mention of it at all (it was more concerned in asking me whether I had a conflict of interest!), nor do I see anything on this page. Or pretty much anywhere...

In fact, I couldn't even figure out how to reach the edit screen. I manually edited the URL in my urlbar to the article title to bring up the 'wizard' which apparently is the only way to the editing screen. In the days of yore I just needed to 'search' for a non-existent article to get a 'red link' to create it.

By the way, it is very much not obvious that I need to click a button ('request review') to get the submission actually going anywhere either.

This is all seriously frustrating for someone just trying to improve Wikipedia a tiny bit.

Ah, why do I care. I finally racked up enough edits to gain article creation rights. --Hlkegs (talk) 06:39, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To whom this may concern,

How are you? I'm writing in regards to my own bio for my music page. I tried submitting and it got denied. I'm learning this language as I go and I need help please. I really want to get this published because it'll help my music career.

Feel free to contact me at BookStringSoul@gmail.com

Hi. I was wondering if there is any way I can find out which references did not follow the guidelines of Wikipedia so I can edit my submission accordingly
