Draft:Line-X

Hello! Would you like to submit or decline this page? 154.5.169.5 (talk) 17:21, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Neenyo

Hello Kylie,

I'm trying to add photo again to Neenyo page, in the first time i added it with a way that violate copyrights, Already i received this photo from the owner himself, and he confirmed that he has sent an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and received an auto reply email with reference ticket:2018061410009475. I tried to upload it again to wiki commons but it was deleted again by CommonsDelinker so if you have any help i'll be thankful. Noona Noona 10:40, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Noona Noona, I don't work for OTRS however I believe permissions-en@wikimedia.org is for the English Language version of Wikipepia not Commons which I think is permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. So the problem looks like an EN:WP vs Commons issue. If they sent permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org then maybe uploading locally would work, but I would think posting to Wikipedia talk:Volunteer Response Team would be a good place to ask. I don't know if the OTRS teams work together, but as you have a reference I would hope the local team would be able to advise. Hope that helps. If the owner want to give global permission to commons see c:Commons:OTRS. Hope that helps, all the best KylieTastic (talk) 22:55, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Kylie, It was more than helpful Noona Noona 23:10, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)​ I've moved the email to the Commons OTRS queue. The backlog is 93 days, so you will have to wait until someone gets to it. In the meantime, please don't reupload the image or send another email. — JJMC89 (T·C) 23:21, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Adamdiemandwashere the key thing you need is references, enough to show the topic is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (see Wikipedia:Notability). See Help:Referencing for beginners for the basics on adding references. Also as a new user we have the Wikipedia:Teahouse to specifically help new users. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

The city shoe was booted!

Thanks for reviewing my article on the city shoe. Does every Wikipedia article need to provide citations? How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_(footwear) for example. There are two vague citations which do not lend themselves to crosschecking. How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_pointer. Who is to say not everything on that page is baloney. The city shoe is popular in the city I'm from and these are definitely a distinct genre. Maybe they are not as popular where you are from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orashar (talk • contribs) 21:23, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Orashar yes all articles on Wikipedia should be sourced or can be put up for deletion (WP:AFD). In the old days the guidelines where less strict, or less patrolled, so yes some old articles started in these cases in 2005 and 2006. New articles are now all patrolled and very few if any survive long without sources. As for ones like those that exist, any editor coming across them can try to improve, or flag for deletion if they think they are not actually notable. However the other stuff exists argument always end ups with the existing articles being improved or deleted, and never gets another unsourced article added to the list. However I'm aware of Wedge (footwear) and Far pointers and think both could be sourced, I really don;t know with Draft:City shoe to be honest , but have a look about and see what references you can find. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 22:01, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
• OK makes sense. Let me write an article on that in a local newspaper and maybe then I can cite that ;)

Draft:Gilles Raymond

Hi KylieTastic, I'm not sure where I should ask for help your user page talk or the page I'm trying to submit's talk... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Gilles_Raymond Any kind of help is welcome. BR, --Mathieuleddet (talk) 19:22, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Mathieuleddet the primary issue is notability which needs to be shown with sources. Almost all of the sources listed do not even mention the subject. Notability is not inherited, so just because subjects they are associated with are notable does not make them notable. Although the ref you added on the talk page at least mentions them, it is just a passing mention not about them in any substance. Also I'm not sure what you mean with your talk page comment on the draft as you added sources fine in the original, and after the last decline added another one fine. However unless you can find independent reliable sources that talk about the subject in some depth they may not be notable at this point in there life.

Creating a draft

Hello! Ive seen you made some editing to my article (Bishopˊs House (Taganrog). Thanks. As I am newcomer to Wikipedia, Id like to ask some some silly questions, as for example, how I should know for sure that my draft is approved? It will drop the title "draft" by itself? Wordrivestheworld (talk) 11:38, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Wordrivestheworld your draft Draft:Bishopˊs House (Taganrog) is currently waiting for review. When reviewed fully the reviewer will either decline pointing out the primary issue(s) that needs to be addressed, or the article will be accepted. If declines a decline notice will be added to the top of the draft and on your talk page, if accepted the draft will be changed to Bishop's House (Taganrog) (or similar) and you should be notified on your talk page. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:51, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
• Here am I again) "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified" My question - my draft on Kamennaya Balka was rejected because there is only one source or it seems to be unreliable one? Much thanks for answering.--Wordrivestheworld (talk) 18:55, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Wordrivestheworld as it's not an online source it's difficult to judge the quality of the source, however a single source is not generally considered enough. I also could not even verify it existed. Although assuming good faith for offline sources may be used, being the only one makes it weaker, but would not get it classed as unreliable. Note that one source could be intentionally or unintentional biased/mistaken or due to an individuals interest rather than general notability. Also in this case the reference was in the third section suggesting it did not cover the information in the first two sections? Other sources do exist such as a scholar search, so you should be able to add more, the decline notice has link to help "Find sources". Also such claims as "under protection of Rostov region government" would be expected to have a source from the government or media. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

picture deleted

Hi Kylie, my pictures were deleted from the AsianWeek posting. I sent the release to WikiCommons. Does that mean that they rejected my release? if so, how do I appeal that? I own the copyrights to the pictures. Or does it mean that I am still waiting for them to approve my pictures? and is there any way to make it quicker, it has been almost a week already. thanks for your attention! TeddyFang (talk) 23:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)TeddyFang

• Hi TeddyFang I would assume that you would have been notified if it was rejected, and it's just a case of waiting. I'm no expert on the commons side of things, but I understand they get quite backlogged as the work exceeds the number of volunteers that name the necessary permissions. Unfortunately this is a problem across the projects that we do not have enough volunteers to keep up with the work in as timely a manner as would ideal be the case. You can ask for help at c:Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard but do read the FAQ first c:Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/FAQ. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi KylieTastic, I got the following message: This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified is it a reliable source, if you can find the same article in the german Wikipedia ? You can verify there, that this item is online and verified since 2005. This article is only an translation of the german page. The reason, why this article should be published in the US is that Gilla Cremer is starting an US-Tour with her plays. So it would be helpful, if she could be found on the US Wiki. --Gegedei (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2018 (UTC) Gegedei (talk) 20:49, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Gegedei each language Wikipedia has it's own set of rules/guidelines and English Wikipedia probably has the most strict. Having an article on another language Wikipeida, or even all of the others has no meaning here. Here only the Wikipedia:Notability guidelines count, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (people). Having a tour is also of no importance as this is an Encyclopedia not a platform for promotion, that's what social media is for. Her own website is not independent, and IMDB is not a reliable source just leaving the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek source which is a catalogue and not substantial. What is generally required is significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Have a look for more sources to add, if she has done that much work as listed, either there will be sources about her, or they aren't actually that notable.

My attempt at an article was rejected by you saying "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources." If you could be more specific it would be helpful to me.

thanks

Mackeychaos (talk) 15:23, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Mackeychaos in general most articles require significant coverage in independent reliable sources, you currently have none. Also Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons requires all living persons have sources for key claims. As an academic Wikipedia:Notability (academics) applies so to be included for there academic work the sources need to clearly show they meet one of the listed criteria, it's unclear if they do or not.

I am National Youth Award Winner from Central Government of India and a Youth Activist. Will the news Articles and my TEDx Talks be used as reliable sources?? Please do help me with that.

Thanks.Sravan0907 (talk) 10:48, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Sravan0907, since you say "I am..." that you must read the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guidelines. Secondly Wikipedia:Notability (people) is the policy to describe what counts as notable for people. I do not know about Qcan, but as a TEDx would not be independent it would probably not count to notability. However my advice would be if you think you meet the criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (people) then add all the references (that are more than just passing mentions) that you can find. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:57, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi kylietastic Thanks for your inputs, I am sorry for the typo. Its not Qcan, the question is mention of news articles in Hindu, Times of India, Hans India such newspapers and Independent Social Media websites be reliable sources ?? Thanks--Sravan0907 (talk) 11:19, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Sravan0907 yes all the main Indian newspapers would count as reliable sources, but not usually social media unless its from news accounts, but then they usually have a full article anyway. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 12:21, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hi kylietastic Great, if i can site five to six major English newspaper articles on different issues as references the chances of being approved will go up right ?
