00:13:11, 4 June 2020 review of draft by Jackie Kench


When I submitted the draft, it said I can't use sites such as Youtube for resources. However, the companies used as a resource don't put a lot of their work on their websites but on their Youtube channels instead. For example, I used the Bovis Homes company (which is a professional company) as a resource. When I went on their website, hardly any of their adds are on there but instead on their Youtube channel, so did Firebird Films, 4Ground Media, and many other professional companies. That doesn't make it any less professional, they purposefully wanted the advert made specifically for their channel. So, what do you do when professional companies do professional work strictly for their social media only?

I also put an Amazon link for books that are currently being sold, and I was told that that's not a reliable source. I put a link to the author's page where she is actually selling her books. That in itself is proof that she's selling books.

Even though she's done professional work, it's hard into today's world to find examples that are not linked to social media. I've attached better links but as I mentioned before, they're not directly linked to Madeline because the companies aren't putting them on their sites but on their channels instead, channels that I'm not allowed to use. So I haven't submitted because I have a feeling it'll be denied.

Jackie Kench Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state about subjects that are shown to meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(such as the definition of a notable company or a notable person). If a subject is not written about significantly in independent sources, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Social media accounts are not independent sources. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:25:08, 4 June 2020 review of draft by Jimavich


I was wondering how I find out which sources used do not meet standard - and if others have met the standard. Or if all my sources are inadequate Jimavich (talk) 05:25, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jimavich, Hi, well the first ref has some errors (see the red comments in the ref list) and the second one is self-published... you will need to correct this and perhaps add some more 2nd sources. CommanderWaterford (talk) 10:38, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hakkeem11988 Your draft(which I've removed from here, the link makes putting it here unnecessary and disruptive to this page's formatting) was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about someone, and you have offered no independent reliable sources showing how the person meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

09:39:53, 4 June 2020 review of draft by Princesse Marissa


dear all, kindly to advise how to improve my article so it can resubmitted and approved by wikipedia reviewer, waiting for your assistance. Princesse Marissa (talk) 09:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Princesse Marissa (talk) 09:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Princesse Marissa. I've commented on the draft. It doesn't look like there are independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain enough information about the subject to write an acceptable encyclopedia article. I recommend that you gain some experience as a Wikipedian before trying to start a new article. If you're especially interested in yacht clubs, try improving some of the articles contained in Category:Yacht clubs, none of which are very good. If you're primarily interested in Lebanese topics, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Lebanon for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:05, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:15:58, 4 June 2020 review of submission by Barpy

Can you please tell me what changes i have to make, to publish it. Barpy (talk) 11:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Barpy Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further as it has little to no chance of being able to meet Wikipedia standards. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something(like your website). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that has articles about subjects that have significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case, the definition of a notable website. Not every website merits a Wikipedia article. In this case, you have offered no independent sources that have chosen on their own to write about your website in an in-depth manner(not just brief mentions, routine announcements, staff interviews, or other primary sources). Please read Your First Article for more information. If you just want to tell the world about your website, you should use social media or other alternative forum where that is permitted. 331dot (talk) 11:20, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


13:21:12, 4 June 2020 review of draft by PeterEasthope


I've added three reliable links to Draft:Yamfo_College_of_Health page. Also commented in the talk page. I'm not asking for official draft review at this time. Just an advice from an experienced editor. Thanks, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 13:21, 4 June 2020 (UTC) PeterEasthope (talk) 13:21, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PeterEasthope Your draft merely confirms that the college exists. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about the college, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. The sources you have offered are just brief mentions that confirm the existence of the college. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:43:05, 4 June 2020 review of submission by Pt8340

I have used press release as references. I didn't know Wikipedia. Don't accept press release as reference. I have improve this page . please review it Pt8340 (talk) 13:43, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pt8340 Your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further as in the judgement of the reviewer there is little to no chance it can be sufficiently improved to meet Wikipedia standards. You are welcome to edit in other areas of the encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 14:22, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


17:17:09, 4 June 2020 review of draft by Kangarolf


Hi there,

I am trying to get a new page cleared for a piece of volunteer management software that has been used a great deal in the UK to handle COVID 19 community volunteering. I copied the format for the SLACK page and included plenty of external and verifiable resources but the page got declined for being to advert like.

I'm looking for some more guidance on getting the page accepted as I think its a valid entry.

Thanks Kangarolf (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kangarolf, Couple of things.
  1. Lotta buzzwords, which is probably why it got tagged as an advert.
  2. Remember that Wikipedia writes about its subjects from a neutral, and almost...uninterested perspective. There is a lot of phrasing here that reads promotional, such as "to to identify, train and deploy volunteers to support sport and physical activity within Manchester" , which frankly should just say something like "Manchester has used TeamKinetic to support sports programs". Present the facts without presenting puffery.
  3. No external links in the body, either move them to the end in a section titled "External links", turn them into references (if relevant) or remove them.
  4. I'm not sure if this is notable. Only subjects which have received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources are able to be included in Wikipedia. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 17:51, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks CaptainEek (talk)

I've edited the post, removed all the external links and converted to refs where appropriate. I've also removed anything that cannot be externally referenced. I took out the whole features section as it was really only self referencing, though the Slack page did have this in.

Thanks for your help. I'll resubmit in a few days, if you have a chance to look again and post any comments I'd appreciate it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kangarolf (talk • contribs) 09:21, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have edited an article on Wikipedia. It is for someone I know and it is not an autobiography. Please help me place with this. Itsanupkumar (talk) 17:27, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

04:21:18, 5 June 2020 review of submission by User:Liberma19

This article was labeled as UPE. I saw the talkpage has a disclosure already. Can this be moved out from draft to the main article already? Thank you.

User:Liberma19 - I've changed the tag from Undisclosed paid editing to conflict of interest. I suggest that investment in the company's web site, which you can control, is a better use of resources than trying to write something in Wikipedia that is both neutral and promotional at the same time. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:Robert McClenon, thank you for your assistance. Kindly review the article and talkpage again. I have already disclosed all accounts involved in that article's talkpage and in their corresponding userpage/talkpages, including mine. Also, I saw someone edited the article to improve notability. Hopefully, someone can assist on moving this drafted article for publishing. Thank you. Antagonizer05 (talk) 05:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:10:11, 5 June 2020 review of submission by Leckson58

Hi,

The page I submitted for review was declined due to notability and that it reads more like an advertisement than a wiki entry. I've edited the page and I added some few references too. Please help me review it before I resubmit it for approval.

The references I used include: Financial times, Bloomberg company profile, Health Business UK magazine, The National AE newspaper, Proactive Investors UK and Live trading news etc. All of which are not press releases and they discuss the subject in some detail and not passing mentions.

11:20:49, 5 June 2020 review of draft by GSS


I have a question regarding notability. This author has been cited by her peers in lots of scholarly articles, I think she should pass notability. These can be verified from here. Should I need to add all citations regarding her from scholar? Only availability is enough? RRRW (talk) 11:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RRRW You need to provide the citations, a link to a Google search is not sufficient. If you are a paid editor or otherwise represent the subject of the article, you must review WP:COI and WP:PAID before further edits. 331dot (talk) 11:33, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

{{Db-g7}} I was unable to upload diagrams because there is a defect with the image updload filtering that marked BPMN diagrams as unsuitable for wikipedia commons. I've published to my blog instead (https://www.cepheis.com/blog/pathwise-complexity)

I am requesting a re-review, Because I think the page now met the notability criteria. Hasibromi (talk) 14:18, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you suggest which part of the criteria here WP:MUSICIAN they pass? Theroadislong (talk) 14:43, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Theroadislong, I'm looking at the sources--god it's terrible. I didn't know that rap also had this industry where press releases and promotional writing was regurgitated in this way. This piece of puff is copied verbatim here; this is a good reason not to take Medium seriously; this "online news entity" is a joke, and the article in that "news entity" is just some promotional shit of the kind we see here on Wikipedia too. Check it:

But his huge success came with his first album release, i.e., The Travels of Marco. It had the potential of being the best upcoming star album. The content of the album is as the Title suggests. It deals with the travels of Marco. This album contains 13 tracks that follow Marco’s life through trials and tribulations.

There was no "huge success, of course, and that stuff about content and title, that's hilarious. Anyway, Hasibromi, I'm sorry, but I don't see how any of those publications are acceptable per WP:RS. Drmies (talk) 14:55, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This person is famous among all Iranians! I don't understand what is your personal problem with him. As I talked to you on live chat, you don't give any specific reason. if you don't know the person, it doesn't mean that he is not famous. before rejecting you can search about him. his information is totally same as the other Iranian rappers. 173.176.137.104 (talk) 14:23, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there is surely no personal problem but your subject lacks of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. Please have a close look at Wikipedia:Notability_(music), your subject of matter does not really fulfil any of the criteria mentioned there, at least like it is written in your draft.

I acknowledge how the previous write-up of this article sounded biased and not encyclopedia-like as the standard is on Wikipedia. Thus, I've taken out a line of the proposed draft that seemed promotional and changed around another part of the wording. I believe that now the entry reads as more fitting to be in an encyclopedia. Please let me know if there are any other steps I can take to help get this article published. Thanks so much!

The draft has no WP:RELIABLE sources. The editor was twice declined and requested to provide WP:RELIABLE sources and also advised not include social-media links and references. The editor was also told and provided links on how to cite references in Wikipedia, but the editor seems to ignore all the loopholes. The present form only promotes the person. The draft is also not notable as per WP:MUSICBIO and WP:TOOSOON. Wikipedia is not a place for WP:PROMOTION. ~ Amkgp ✉ 18:47, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are referring to Draft:Qari Zubaid Rasool. The draft needs to be notable as per English Wikipedia guidelines. Please avoid YouTube as a references as WP:YTREF policy. You need to provide WP:RELIABLE sources as references to you draft to verify/prove its notability and pass the criteria for inclusion in main-space. You can visit WP:REFB if you are unaware how to add references in the draft/article. ~ Amkgp ✉ 19:49, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think under the WP:RS non of the links that I have used were self published sources by Marcoof500. The links are independent sources which deem them reliable. Even under the WP:RS it states that Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Hasibromi (talk) 02:48, 6 June 2020 (UTC)== 04:35:37, 6 June 2020 review of submission by Shreyastyagi1 ==[reply]

06:30:42, 6 June 2020 review of submission by Thebadnewslive


I honestly don’t what else I can do for this article. There are loads of newspaper, magazine clippings, photos of races from the 80s and 90s which nothing is online as in that period because no-one had computers or the internet. I can only find references online of what people have bothered to upload. Is that the only thing that counts with Wikipedia. If it’s not online now, it’s not real???

Thebadnewslive (talk) 06:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thebadnewslive Sources do not need to be online as long as they are publicly accessible(such as a magazine or newspaper in a library). As noted, it appears that the organization you wrote about does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Sources, whether online or offline, must do more than briefly mention the organization or its activities. Wikipedia articles must summarize only what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about a subject. That does not include brief mentions, routine announcements, press releases, staff interviews, or other primary sources.
Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. If you truly feel that you can adhere to the standards I mention here and those at Your First Article, you will have to start over from scratch on a new draft.
If you are associated with this organization, you will need to review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 10:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So does this article need to be incorporated into another article? The organisation has been around for 50 years now and currently compiling a large book for the 50th anniversary documenting it's history. Members have been submitting all these old news and magazine articles, images and so forth for the book. None of this is in libraries, that I know of, it's just things people have kept over the years from the time. Have I got to put all this online as references just for a Wikipedia article? Thebadnewslive (talk) 11:09, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thebadnewslive Please make follow up comments by editing this existing section, instead of creating new sections. Please read WP:CITE for information on citing sources, including those only in print. As long as the relevant information is available to write a citation(publisher, author, date, etc.) you can cite a print newspaper article, as most newspapers and magazines are archived in libraries. You don't need to put the newspaper clippings online. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shraddhaaa1702, unfortunately no matter if you are promoting or not autobiography articles are not allowed on Wikipedia. Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged. Have a look over here Wikipedia:Autobiography. Regards, CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CommanderWaterford Shraddhaaa1702 It isn't exactly correct that autobiographies are not allowed, but they are strongly discouraged. It is very hard to successfully write an autobiography. In your case, Shraddhaa1702, your draft did little more than state your existence, and had no independent reliable sources to support its content and indicate how you meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Wikipedia is interested in what others say about you, not what you say about yourself. 331dot (talk) 15:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timothconrad (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timothconrad. You are not forbidden from continuing to edit Draft:Timoth Conrad Kachumia, but autobiographies are strongly discouraged because of the conflict of interest they create. "Strongly discouraged" means the draft might be deleted, and you might be blocked from editing, if your edits are seen as an attempt to publicize yourself rather than purely to benefit Wikipedia. Many of the sources cited in the original draft are not reliable, and the remaining ones do not contain significant coverage of you. As your career progresses, more may be written about you in independent, reliable sources, but at the moment no one can help you "do it right" because the necessary sources simply don't exist. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:53, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

02:36:21, 7 June 2020 review of submission by Davykamanzi

My draft submission was rejeced for failing to meet WP:GNG and WP:ARTSPAM. The tone of the draft could be altered, but Luton Today (source for 3 of the draft's 5 references) is an established news source in the Bedfordshire area; I feel other similar institutions, even in the same area, have articles in the mainspace despite receiving a smaller amount of significant coverage (e.g. the Stella Mann College of Performing Arts, which I assume is able to remain on the mainspace thanks to some brief coverage on one BBC News article, though admittedly that is a more reputed source than Luton Today). Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 02:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davykamanzi, part of the issues is that Luton Today is a local paper, which usually isn't sufficient for notability. Local paper mentions can help push a subject towards notability, but you really need some regional or national mentions to supplant. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:35, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@CaptainEek: As far as I'm aware, nothing in WP:GNG mentions any requirement for regional or national coverage to establish notability. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 13:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Davykamanzi: What constitutes trivial coverage varies by subject domain. Schools fall under Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). It's section WP:AUD says: "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media ... is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary."
As you probably know, school articles have long been required to be notable in order to be included, but for many years there was a parallel contradictory practice that as long as they were high schools or above and could be proven to exist, they would not be deleted. The inconsistency was more or less resolved a few years ago, and substandard school articles are gradually being improved or deleted. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's current policies and guidelines does not mean they are "allowed" to remain. It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to dealing with them yet. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why they are not a good excuse to create more such articles. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:CommanderWaterford,User:EliaMssawir- Simply adding sources is not always sufficient. Read No amount of editing will compensate for a lack of notability. There is a myth in Wikipedia that, because we require sources, adding more sources is what is needed to get a draft approved.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics), the #1 criteria for academic notability is "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."

Malbrec92 I think you mean notability, not "notoriety". As noted by the reviewer, Mr. Beschloss does not appear to meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional. The closest he comes might be being nominated for a Pulitzer, which would indicate he is "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors", but only if he had been awarded one. Most of the sources you offer merely confirm the existence of his work; what is required is independent reliable sources with significant coverage where the sources has chosen on their own to write about Mr. Beschloss.

10:31:56, 9 June 2020 review of submission by JonathanBrott


Hello there!

First time editor here. I've been working on an article for the Swedish indie band Mama Sonic. Article in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mama_Sonic My first submission was understandably rejected, as I at first thought I could piece together some first-hand information from my own experience with the band and just add a COI tag. After this, I've completely revised the article and it is has improved substantially.

I have worked with this band on multiple occasions and am an off-and-on member of it (non-profit artistic collaborations). I understand the COI policy is applicable in most commercial situations, but right now I'm confused, should I not have claimed a COI at all? The band has a growing following, yet information about them has yet to be collected in the form of a Wiki entry. The draft article is based on public interviews and reviews as well as record label listings. Some of the material was promotional biography from the band, and I can see that that needs revision.

Perhaps my question is: is this article suitable for Wikipedia? I've seen many similar listings of Swedish bands, such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Cone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Perro_del_Mar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Johansson_(musician)

Basically, I'm not sure if the draft is too unsubstantial or if the citation needs more work at this stage. I'll take another pass at it before resubmitting! Any suggestions are welcome!

JonathanBrott You need to declare a COI if you have any association with an article subject that could be perceived as influencing your work. You don't have to have a commercial relationship or be paid(being paid or any financial relationship would trigger the stricter paid editing declaration). In terms of the draft, as long as the band meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable band and your sources are independent reliable sources with significant coverage, the article will get past a review. I don't do many formal article reviews, but from a quick glance it seems like it is at least possible the draft would be okay. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:25:13, 9 June 2020 review of submission by Joshua989898

So my article was recently rejected for not being a sufficiently notable topic. But I have now found the links to four newspaper articles that have been written over the years on the subject (one from the Washington Post, one from the Washington Times and two from the Deseret News). Would including these as references for the article help it become sufficiently notable? Joshua989898 (talk) 12:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's difficult to answer you without knowing what exactly the sources say. If they are independent of the organization and give it significant coverage(not just a brief mention, routine announcement, press release, staff interview, etc.) they could be sufficient. Any article about this organization should only summarize what independent sources say about it. 331dot (talk) 13:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is S09748 speaking. I am asking help about how to make a proper table in my article. See, there are four cells in a row, and the one under is about a summary. I would like for the cell under to take as much area as the four above. Can you please tell me how i could achieve this? Thank you. S09748 (talk) 13:07, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi S09748. It sounds like what you want is the colspan attribute. See Help:Basic table markup for more information, and see the climate table in Bern for an example. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, 

 Looking for for ways to make this article seem less like an ad.  I do work for a marketing company that represents signal hill whiskey and originally copied and pasted the copy they wrote for wikipedia, it was declined because it read like an ad. I read over the original and pulled a bunch of unnecessary branding adjectives, while leaving enough info to accurately describe the product.  I'm thinking it may be the taste profiles getting flagged, but I would like to kmow which lines of text are reading too much like an advertisement.

Thanks, Ben Buschke Morrison Digital

My article submission for GFA Canada was declined because it didn't show significant coverage. I appreciate the feedback from Sulfurboy and just have a few questions. My original intent was for this to be a stub and more of a work-in-progress sort of page. Is there a different procedure for creating stubs as opposed to full articles? If not, would my article be accepted if I were to submit more proof of significant coverage from news outlets like CBC and CTV? Thanks for the help! Mckaylagrace (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mckaylagrace, Notability needs to be established with reliable, independent sources. The length of the article, or whether or not it is a stub, does not change that fact. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:17, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm publishing a wikipedia page for my company is it okay if i source some of my information directly from my company's page or is that considered being biased.

Alyssattran (talk) 19:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alyssattran First, you must read and formally comply with the paid editing policy, a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement. You should also review conflict of interest. Any article about your company should primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about your company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself. Certain indisputable factual information like location, number of employees, prominent staff, can be sourced to the company itself, but that's all; please see WP:PRIMARY for more information on that point. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:39:31, 9 June 2020 review of draft by AengusB


Hi!

I have two questions:

1- How do I change the name of my article-to-be? I submitted it from my sandbox and it did not let me input any title, and it seems that the user who reviewed my article knew how to do it and input the title with a typo.

2- After I reached out to Reddit for sources about Kyle Hill, the man himself saw my post and offered to answer my questions. How should I quote the information he will send me by email? (I know it is actually him because I sent the email through a form on his website).

Thank you

AengusB (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AengusB Don't worry about the title, as if and when the draft is accepted, the reviewer will handle the placement of the draft in the encyclopedia; you may want to leave a note on the draft talk page that the title is currently misspelled. As for the information from Kyle Hill, Wikipedia cannot accept information in an email; all information must be sourced to a publicly available independent reliable source for verification purposes(as Kyle cannot sit by a phone for as long as Wikipedia exists taking calls or emails from readers). Perhaps Kyle Hill can direct you to reliable sources where the information he has provided you with has been published.
Since you are in communication with Kyle Hill about your Wikipedia editing, you will need to review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for your swift answer. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I do not think I have a conflict of interest since I do not know Kyle Hill personally and will not receive benefits in any shape or form for the article. My article is still a draft, but could you give it a quick look and tell me whether there are already obstacles to the publication of the article, please? Thank you

I'm not sure what needs to be done to improve referencing on my draft. I received a AfC denial after submitting a draft for Holly Grove Christian School (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Holly_Grove_Christian_School). I did what I thought was necessary in the way of reliable sources and adding inline citations. I tried not to overload the reader with inline citations and placed references that applied to an entire section at the end of the first sentence in that section. I'm not sure if I need more inline citations, more references, sources that are more reliable (though most of the sources are directly from the school's website), or something else. Thanks in advance for your help. :) AviationFreak (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for reviewing the submission - is there anything I can do to help this get somewhere towards publishing. I appreciate the concerns about paid editing, but I think the subject matter does still pass the threshold for notability given that two other UK-based retailers of equivalent size have their own Wiki articles: Jessops and Calumet Photographic, the latter of which is actually now merged with Wex Photo Video (which is even mentioned explicitly in the Calumet article.

I appreciate that this is deeply not your problem, but if there's anything I can do to get this page publishable, please just let me know. Happy to add more sources etc

Hi, I want to know what kind of sources we need to give the show credability?

I have included a source where the show was advertised on BBC Radio 4 (a huge national radio station) which should be more than enough to prove it's real and credible?

The show is being published on Youtube, so will linking the Youtube channel help boost credibility? I can also link tweets and the individual Youtube videos for each episode to give each episode/guest credability. Would this be sufficient?

What else can be suggested to enable this page to be published?

Lauratheschit (talk) 17:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, for notability you are going to need at least three sources that satisfy all of the following:

19:15:39, 10 June 2020 review of draft by ShadowBee


A submission of an article I've wrote has been declined - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mish-mash_(food) "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."

Ok, first of, this is an existing article in Bulgarian (BG) Wikipedia - "https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%88-%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%88" and Hungarian (UK) Wikipedia - "https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%88-%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%88" that I have translated. It is also on this (EN) Wikipedia disambiguation page - "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mish_Mash"

Second, this is a very popular Bulgarian dish, like Banitsa - "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banitsa" - all the tourists try it, etc. It is one of the 50 most popular dishes in Bulgarian cuisine, according to some sources. But where is this dish referenced? Food blogs, local cooking shows (all in Bulgarian), local cook-books (that I don't have access to, all in Bulgarian, too), etc. Where can one find significant coverage of a local dish, if I might ask? Look at the Banitsa pastry article I've mentioned above - terrible references - one of a Russian dictionary explaining the origin of the word, and two local recipes on Bulgarian blogs, even not in English. No one would remove the article of this famous pastry, though. My point is, there are just no reliable sources when it comes to local cuisine, unlike many other topics.

20:58:49, 10 June 2020 review of submission by Kconstalie


Hello, and thank you so much for reading! I believe that the article I wrote about Conduit Magazine has not been fairly evaluated. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Conduit_Magazine) This article seems to meet and exceed the objectivity standards set forth by Wikipedia. It is written in a straight-forward, matter-of-fact style. Yet this article was recently rejected because it contains links to Wikipedia's own pages for Best American Poetry and Pushchart Prize and these pages don't contain reference to the magazine. That these pages should mention Conduit Magazine is not a realistic expectation. For example, if an author has written for the New York Times, the Wikipedia article may have a link to the New York Times, but the New York Times article is not expected to mention the author. That would not be realistic.

This is an informative article about a literary subject. Please consider that it is fit to publish. Please notice that is plainly and objectively stated. If technical changes with the layout are necessary, I will be happy to make them if I can receive some guidance.

Thank you sincerely! Kconstalie (talk) 20:58, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
