08:37:58, 24 December 2019 review of submission by 140Macpherson


140Macpherson (talk) 08:37, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]


We have refurbished the Etere article with more references and the sources. As Etere is a long standing company that is present at techonolgy shows, conferences, and news articles throughout the world, it is a liable topic to require a wikipedia page.

Hi 140Macpherson. Please clarify what you mean by "we". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:15, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

13:31:07, 24 December 2019 review of draft by Ronmun


I have been revising the Draft:The ROADEX Project page in my Sandbox and wonder if there is a way to update the present Draft version to the Sandbox version. Any help that you can give will be appreciated. With best regards Ron

Ronmun (talk) 13:31, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ronmun. You are welcome to edit Draft:The Roadex Project and make it (below the comment "EDIT BELOW THIS LINE") as much like your sandbox as you care to. Editing the first draft really would have been the best thing to do in the first place. When editors create copies or second drafts under different names it frequently leads to confusion. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:06, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have created the Phemex Wikipedia page at my sandbox please let me know why it's not approved and what can I do for the approvall. I believe the page is important because its about a bitcoin futures and cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform.

Hi Aureliojohn. As stated at Draft:Phemex, it was declined because it fails to show that it is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Considering Wikipedia's general sanctions on blockchain and cryptocurrency-related articles, you may wish to explore alternative outlets for anything you write on the subject. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:55, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CSIing. The deleting admin, Orangemike, noted: "Subject fails WP:MMABIO notability guidelines where by subject has only secure 2 fights under top tier promoter instead of 3."

They aren't notable. There is nothing you can do. A musician charting (and in this case, contributing to a charting song) isn't particularly notable. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:27, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

it Needs Nia, I Gave Criedit

SteaminThomasTheTrain32 (talk) 23:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SteaminThomasTheTrain32, the copyright isn't the problem here, as that wiki is licensed under CC BY-SA. (the attribution details are wrong, but that's not our main problem here)
The problem is that the article is completely unsourced (see WP:Verifiability), and that there is far too much detail for an encyclopedia.
Characters like this are nearly always included in a list of all characters in a series, as already occurs at List of Thomas & Friends railway engines. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 19:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

05:00:39, 26 December 2019 review of submission by Sarasota6

I would like to ask for assistance in writing an article about Sari Greene. Sari Greene is an information security practitioner, author, and entrepreneur. In 2003, Sari founded one of the first dedicated cybersecurity consultancies. She is notable for this reason. I took her online class so I dont know if that is a conflict or not Sarasota6 (talk) 05:02, 26 December 2019 (UTC) Sarasota6 (talk) 05:00, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sarasota6, If you can find reliable and independent sources that discuss her, she may be notable enough to have an article about her. Usually, at least three, and ideally more, sources are needed. Think coverage in newspapers, magazines, news sources. Her own websites and materials do not count. In terms of a conflict of interest, you are probably fine. If you wish to declare a COI, that would be fine, but I don't think you have to in this situation. Now if you know Greene personally, or have some other sort of relationship, or have been paid by her in anyway, then yes you would need to disclose.

13:28:01, 26 December 2019 review of submission by Mohsinmusta97


Mohsinmusta97 (talk) 13:28, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mohsinmusta97, for a musician to have an article here, they have to meet any one of the following criteria:
  1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works must be someone else writing about the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist, or their works. (See the self-published sources policy for details about the reliability of such sources, and the conflict of interest policy for treatment of promotional, vanity material.) The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the musician, ensemble, composer, or lyricist notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. The rationale for this is easy to see – someone simply talking about themselves in their own personal blog, website, book publisher, social networking site or music networking site, etc., does not automatically mean they have sufficient attention in the world at large to be notable. If that was so then everyone could have an article. Wikipedia is not a directory.
    • This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries. What constitutes a "published work" is deliberately broad except for the following:
      • Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising. For example, endorsement deal publicity (including sell sheets, promo posters, fliers, print advertising and links to an official company website) that lists the artist as an endorser or contains an "endorsement interview" with the artist.
      • Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
      • Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
  2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
  3. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
  4. Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
  5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
  6. Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.
  7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
  8. Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
  9. Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.
  10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc.
  11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
  12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.
You haven't demonstrated the subject of your article meets any of these criteria, thus it has been declined. At this point, it seems unlikely the subject meets these criteria. Please read Wikipedia:Too soon. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 19:45, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note that these criteria outline additional considerations for GNG, not that meeting any of them automatically makes the topic notable. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK —Preceding undated comment added 20:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

22:12:44, 26 December 2019 review of submission by Cgerdeskcts9


Hello, I work for Cascade Public Media, the PBS affiliate for the Seattle area. Cascade Public Media owns KCTS 9, the local PBS televisions station, and Crosscut, a Seattle public media news website. Both of these brands have Wikipedia pages and are a popular part of the Seattle community. We are trying to show the relationship between companies and, as a nonprofit, we are trying to be as transparent as possible with our donors with our naming and relationships, which is why we are working to create a Cascade Public Media Wikipedia page that better connects our brands. We want to make sure information about Cascade Public Media, Crosscut and KCTS 9 is easy to find online. I have had the Cascade Public Media page turned down multiple times, and have edited it several times in the process. I am hoping to get some insight on what we can to do to publish this page.

Thank you, Caroline

Cgerdeskcts9 (talk) 22:12, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cgerdeskcts9, Hi Caroline! I would suggest merging the information that you have into KCTS-TV as previously mentioned.

Please refer to the below report, if the other module companies (i.e. Gemalto, Sierra Wireless, SIMCom, Telit, etc.) are allowed for the Wikipedia paga creation, Fibocom & Quectel should also have their place in Wikipedia.

http://globalnewsreports24.com/9517/global-cellular-modules-market-insights-2019-fibocom-gemalto-quectel-sierra-wireless-simcom-telit-communications/

Streetmilitia (talk) 08:00, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Streetmilitia, Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Looking at the linked articles, 3 are poorly written, promotional, and lack sources. SIMCom shouldn't even have an article. Gemalto is the only halfway decent one, but clearly has had some COI editing.
What I don't see is how this organization meets the company notability guidelines. Of your 8 sources, none are good enough to show notability. You would need more and better sources. But I doubt such sources exist, which is why the article has been rejected as not notable. You are likely better off improving existing articles about topics you enjoy, and getting a feel for how to edit and how our policies work.
One last note: if you have paid by Fibocom in any way, are an employee, or otherwise receive compensation from the company, you must disclose that fact by following the guidelines at WP:PAID. Not doing so is a violation of the terms of service. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:55, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CaptainEek, thank you. I agree with you. Why does Wikipedia allow editor to remain anonymous? I am a SME in the wireless space, I edit Wiki with my free time when I see the content either not up-to-date or misleading with flaw info or advisement. Streetmilitia (talk) 09:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Streetmilitia, Anonymity has been a fundamental principle of Wikipedia. Thats why we let folks edit without being logged in, and prevent folks from outing other people's real identities. But that does of course have limits, especially in the realm of companies and conflicts of interest. Since you say you don't have a conflict of interest, or a paid issue, I'll accept that in good faith. If you still would like to improve the Fibocom article, and believe that reliable sources exist, you can find them and improve the article. But as I said above, my own search turned up quite little; such sources may not exist. In that case, I'd be happy to help point you at some other things you might enjoy editing.

03:49:18, 28 December 2019 review of submission by Wantok Author


I have now had two photographs that I own the copyright to taken down because some random decided that I didn't own the copyright. I'm getting heartily sick of this. How on earth does anyone actually upload photos? How on earth do you prove to some random stranger that this is your photo? I asked permission of the subject in both cases and they provided the photo to me for the purposes of the entry. This is surely far preferable to me taking a photo of them without their permission or knowledge but uploading it successfully because I took the photo myself.

I'd be grateful for a discussion and reversion of this because it is making Wikipedia feel like a white male stronghold of bias and disdain.


Wantok Author (talk) 03:49, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wantok Author, Howdy hello! I understand that the photo process can be somewhat annoying. Any photo whose copyright status is suspect is usually taken down quickly, as there are serious legal implications if we host copyrighted material that is not properly licensed. So to help me help you, I wanna clarify the origin of the image. Did you take it, with your own camera? If not, who took it? If it is another person, you must have them email permission to use the photo to Wikipedia. I see that you have a talk page notice of an image deleted under fair use. Be aware that fair use, while broad in some countries, is quite narrow on Wikipedia, and usually does not cover photos of living people. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:31, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK - who do I email to? I did not take the photo but know the person who did and can get them to email wikipedia so I can reinstate the photo. Although I note that official photographs are paid for by the person in question and they then hold the copyright - I know both people so can get either to email permission. If someone can point me to where the email should go I can get this sorted out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wantok Author (talk • contribs) 06:48, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:52:01, 28 December 2019 review of draft by Prana1111

Hi, there might be a problem with the Draft:Chalkydri. It's not the article itself that seems be the issue. For some reason it redirects to another article called seraph. My article is not a duplicate though. The word chalkydri appears on a sub-section of the seraph article but only because chalkydri and seraph are both considered a species of angel in religious context. On the contrary, their portrayals in ancient texts are entirely different therefore they are not the same beings. If the draft is published I might be able to fix the redirect myself without help, unless it is automatically fixed as soon as it is published. I could give the article a temporary title before changing the link redirect if needed.

Slasher2point1 (talk) 02:13, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am trying to add an Infobox to the Tommy Nelson (actor) page after uploading a picture of him. I put all of the correct information in, but it will not allow me to create the Infobox. I was hoping someone could help fix this.

Also, there is a note saying I need "additional citations for verifications" because I listed imdb.com as the reference for his birthday. Someone commented saying that imdb was unreliable despite the information being correct and in my personal studies, I have found many other pages for actors use this reference and do not have the note. I would like to get this note removed, so could someone either remove it for me or recommend another website I could use for a citation to ensure this page meets the necessary standards? Thank you.

Sincerely, Slasher2point1

Hi Slasher2point1. I fixed the formatting of the infobox for you. IMDb, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, with a couple narrow exceptions that do not apply in this case. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, Wikipedia:Citing IMDb, and Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites. If many other articles are misusing IMDb, they should be fixed. There is a "needs additional citations for verification" tag on Tommy Nelson (actor) for many more reasons than the date of birth and IMDb. There are many other statements in the article that do not cite a source. Add sources for them, or remove the statements. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acekard (talk) 04:55, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acekard, Youtube notability (of which you can read more about at WP:NYOUTUBE) is a tricky thing. Even channels with a million subs might not get articles. Mainly, we need news coverage of the channels. There seems to be little about their actual channel that is interesting/notable enough for Wikipedia. The fact that they are conservative does not make them more or less notable. A lot of people on YouTube are conservative. A lot aren't. In essence, you have failed to show how they are deserving of an article, which is why it has been rejected. Unless you can find many more good sources, I recommend you focus your efforts elsewhere. I know having a draft rejected doesn't feel good, but creating articles from scratch is quite hard. In the future, you may wish to ask for advice (either here, or at the Teahouse) about whether a particular subject may be notable. That will keep you from spending time on something that isn't actually notable. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 09:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me recognize what he has done by accepting his article. If not please let me know what I can add to have the article accepted and if I can re-submit. Thanks so much... Themusicscholar101 (talk) 07:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Themusicscholar101, It doesn't actually appear that he has made a huge impact in the music industry. Where are the sources that say that? How has a 16 year old made a huge impact in music without even releasing a charting song or album? This seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. This kid seems destined for greatness, but he just ain't famous yet. In a few years, when he has done more, then he might be notable enough for an article. But at this time, hes just another kid.

Abdel fattah yusif, If you know this person, that means you have a conflict of interest, which must be declared. However, this person seems to be an average person like you or I. That means they are not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Only those who have been covered in multiple reliable and independent sources can be on Wikipedia.

@Esotericmagik: You're going to want to try this tutorial to get a basic understanding of what this site is and how it works. After that, I've written a guide that explains how to write articles that will not be deleted.
Wikipedia is not a social media site, nor is it a place to promote anyone (or their social media accounts). You didn't cite any independent professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources to demonstrate notability (Youtube and Instagram are not reliable sources, and her own Youtube and Instragram accounts are not independent).

Barryc25 (talk) 05:57, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Barryc25. The draft was declined (which allows you to improve and resubmit it), not rejected (which would not give you the option of resubmission). The bulk of any article should be based on independent, reliable sources. At first glance, about 90% of the draft is based on what the organization says about itself. As the reviewer indicated, you'll need to throw away most of the sources you've cited and the content they support, or radically condense it. The draft should mainly summarize what independent sources like the Vancouver Sun and The Globe and Mail say about the organization. Also, Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference at all. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:00, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arjanhalili, The issue here is that the sources you have do not show how the subject is notable. We don't just write about everyone here on Wikipedia, otherwise it would be unwieldy. Thus we have a set of standards for inclusion, which we call notability. The relevant guideline is the creative professional notability standards. Any topic may also simply meet the general notability guideline. So to get this article accepted, you need to find sources that meet those requirements. If you can't do that, then the subject is not notable, and we cannot write about them. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:19, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am at a loss as to what the issue is. The page has many external references attesting to the importance of the field of matrix biology and then the history behind how the ASMB is a major organization promoting matrix biology. It also has significant information on the history of the organization including past presidents, past award winners, meetings, etc. When I compare it to existing Wiki pages for similar organizations such as the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_for_Biochemistry_and_Molecular_Biology) or the American Society for Cell Biology ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_for_Cell_Biology) I don't see large differences and thus cannot see why these have been accepted as Wiki pages while my submission has not.

Bhavegaut (talk) 21:54, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bhavegaut, Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. One of the issues here is that the societies you have linked have 10+ times the membership as the ASMB, which means they are larger and more likely to be covered by reliable sources. Regardless, those articles are still quite poor.
What you need here is better sources. You need independent and reliable sources that give significant coverage to the subject, as per the general notability guidelines. The scientific papers you have are not the right sources here. If you remove those, then you only have the ASMB's own website, which is not independent. You need external coverage. If such external coverage does not exist, then the subject is not notable. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 00:07, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lloyd Strang sang at the Metropolitan Opera Company in NY from 1959 thru 1970. he is referenced in several links by the Met and appears in one of your Wikipedia listings as well as someone who performed at the Met 170 times. I guess I do not know the proper way to list or link the references. He also sang and played with the Sammy Kaye Big Band from 1949-1955 and is on several of Sammy Kaye's albums listed as one of the three Kayedets. I would love it if someone other than me (his son) made the post but I would hate to see his notable contributions lost to history.

Hi Ksameer22. Wikipedia is not a business directory. Its articles cover notable topics—those that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. If there isn't significant coverage of the company in independent reliable sources, then there is nothing you can do to improve the draft because the topic doesn't belong in the encyclopedia.
