04:53:38, 19 October 2021 review of draft by Tylermelnyk
- Tylermelnyk (talk · contribs) (TB)
Jyoti Gondek was just elected Mayor of Calgary.
Why am I being restricted from editing her page?
This woman requires extensive editing to her wiki now that she is mayor elect.
I was hoping to do that work but its being denied. What? Why?

Request on 09:23:52, 19 October 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Bennair
Thank you for the opportunity. I am new to this platform and the style of writing. I tried submitting a company page with language as neutral as possible but it still got rejected. I even used external media links but to no help.
Will appreciate the assistance.
Bennair (talk) 09:23, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Bennair Wikipedia does not have "company pages", not one. It has articles about companies, typically written by independent editors. Those editors write about topics that they take note of in independent reliable sources with significant coverage, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability- in this case, that of a notable company. If you have an association with this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures.
- Your draft is completely unsourced, and reads like an entry in a directory of companies. Wikipedia is not a directory, but an encyclopedia. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

- Riteshkumarbhanu Who is "us"? There should only be one person operating your account. Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about a person and their accomplishments. An article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Writing a new article is the most challenging task to undertake on Wikipedia, and it's good to first gain experience by editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. Using the new user tutorial and reading Your First Article helps as well.

My submission got rejected even though I have a source to back it up. Where can I write about it?
My submission got rejected even though there’s a reliable source to back it up. Is a book not a reliable source?
00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 23:22, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi 00sClassicGamerFan. In Articles for creation parlance, the draft was declined, which allows improvement and re-submission, not rejected, which is final.
- The topic requires multiple sources to demonstrate notability (suitability for inclusion in the encyclopedia as a stand alone article).
- Whether a book is a reliable source depends on more than the fact that it's a book. Non-fiction books written by scholars and published by academic presses or major mainstream publishers are preferred. The authors of Top Gear Christmas are a film writer, novelist, and television producer known for their comedy work. The publisher, BBC Books, is a sister concern to the company that produced the television programme which is the main topic of the book, Top Gear. The purpose of the book is to promote the series, so it is not independent of it. Whether it would be a reliable source about Donko would depend on what it actually says about it and in what context, but it seems unlikely to be reliable.
- Even if it is reliable, it may not contain significant enough coverage of Donko to count as a source that supports notability. It doesn't help if the game is mentioned in a single sentence or paragraph, but might be considered significant if there are several paragraphs or a whole page about the game.

02:51:11, 20 October 2021 review of submission by Dottee
I'd love to know if articles can be published without several independent sources. The article I wish to write does not have many outside sources to reference for information, only the substantial amount in the two available. Dottee (talk) 02:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC) Dottee (talk) 02:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Dottee. No, they can't. What an organization has to say about itself belongs on that organization's webpage, not in Wikipedia. We require that all articles rely primarily on "third-party" or "independent sources" so that we can write a fair and balanced article that complies with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and to ensure that articles are not advertising a product, service, or organization. Multiple sources are generally expected, to show sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and to ensure we aren't parroting a single point of view on the topic. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:41, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

I have made proper changes based on feedback from the editor, but still not sure if meets the full requirment.
Can I seek help to have a pre-review before re-submit?
Xiaofeng93 (talk) 09:27, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Xiaofeng93: Sure. Glancing over it, not a single reliable source jumps out, and I see a lot of really terrible ones: wikitia, Crunchbase, prnewswire, and coindesk, for example. Considering this and Wikipedia's general sanctions on blockchain and cryptocurrency-related articles, I think it's safe to say Wikipedia will never publish an article on this subject. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:52, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
10:48:17, 20 October 2021 review of draft by ResetK
To whom it may concern,
I have created the article on PROJECT MOD, which is under development by NEXON KOREA. The article has been rejected three times for the reason the article does not cover significant, reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Since the platform is in its early stage, I took a look at the Project TL article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_TL - as a reference. Should I add more lines to the article? Or do I ask to put more references? Do please kindly revise how can I develop the article to publish it.
Best, ResetK
ResetK (talk) 10:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi ResetK. Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and low quality ones. If you want to learn from examples, be sure to use Wikipedia's best, not Project TL.
- Businesswire is a press release, so not independent. MMOs.com's three sentences do not constitute significant coverage. Techbeezer.com is incoherent. It reads like a bad machine translation of a press release. YouTube is a generally unreliable source, and material published there by Project MOD is not independent. The Nexon website is not independent. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable sources that contain significant coverage of their topic. The draft referemces zero sources like that. If there are no such sources because the platform is in its early stage, then wait a few years until the platform is more mature. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:11, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
12:29:59, 20 October 2021 review of submission by Sucker for All
- Sucker for All (talk · contribs) (TB)
Am confused by a purported lack of "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". It certainly is just not a passing mention in any of the 6 sources (more similar sources are readily available), and she's, in truth, viewed by millions of people for at least an hour a week on the biggest news station in the world. Do we have specific precedents for the viability of the various sources in question? Fox News is considered viable per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources (she was previously with ABC), whereas the others include 1. allstarbio 2. thewhoisbio 3. thefamousinfo 4. profilespedia 5. factsbuddy . A comment on each sources purported lack of reliability would be in order. others that *could* be used include a. goldencelebrities b. fact-pedia c. marriedceleb d. wikiage e. glamourpath f. starsgab g. factsbio h. bio-peida i. wealthyspy j. chandigarhfirst k. xycinews l. biographyhoses m. arealnews n. informationflare o. celebpie p. marriedwiki q. theparadise r. factualhub s. yankeetv t. b.wikiage u. popcreep v. thecelebinfo w. nypost (in passing @ https://nypost.com/2010/05/10/miss-usa-contestants-in-their-undies/ in 2010) x. thewhoisbio y. muzu.tv z. expioreceleb, in addition to many many other articles. All are independent of the subject matter and, other than the nypost, not one is just a mention in passing. How do we get this published? Which of the above sources is considered more and less reliable than others? All sources here seem to flow similarly to snopes.. Sucker for All (talk) 12:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC) Sucker for All (talk) 12:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sucker for All You appear to have a misunderstanding of the term Reliable Sources. The references you have chosen are not considered reliable secondary sources. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 18:06, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Both nypost and Fox News are considered reliable. And she's literally On Fox News at least 1 hour per day delivering live news. All 31 sources listed are considered unreliable? More are easily visible in a Google search of her name.. Sucker for All (talk) 19:36, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sucker for All A Fox News bio of one of their team is a Primary Source. The other references you have used are not of any use at all since they are not reliable. Your do not seem to have used nypost as a reference. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 19:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sucker for All: According to WP:RS/PS, nypost is a generally unreliable source. Fox News is sometimes reliable, sometimes unreliable, depending on context. Fox News is her employer, however, so it is not an independent source about her. They have an incentive to promote her. Your list of 31 sources is about as trashy a set of sources as it's possible to name. They're so bad that it's hard to believe you're serious in suggesting them. Being a news anchor, regardless of time on air or channel, does not make a person notable. Being written about in independent reliable sources is what makes one notable. See Peter Jennings or Marjory Stoneman Douglas for examples of reliable sources for information about news anchors and journalists. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:03, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Worldbruce:, did you read the article? I don't actually use the nypost link. I use 8 of the 31 mentioned links, none of which are considered unreliable according to official wiki guidelines.. Sucker for All (talk) 08:23, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sucker for All A Fox News bio of one of their team is a Primary Source. The other references you have used are not of any use at all since they are not reliable. Your do not seem to have used nypost as a reference. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 19:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- She's literally hosting Fox News' Fox & Friends First right now.. It *might* be a question of me not demonstrating notability, but she's clearly notable Sucker for All (talk) 08:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sucker for All: It is a question of not demonstrating notability, since there is nothing in the draft to show why she would be considered notable. There are six references in the draft. One is the primary source from Fox News, the other five are nowhere near reliable. A good rule of thumb is that any website where a biographical article has a title approximating "Height, weight, age, relationships, wealth" is not going to be a reliable source. In theory, there might be exceptions to that, but these five are in fact useless. You only need to take a very quick look at them to determine that, and if you read the sources more closely you will notice that they even re-use the same phrasing. No idea who churns out these worthless "bio" sites (and that is another reason we can't use them), but I'm guessing it is a lucrative business. --bonadea contributions talk 09:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- First of all, she's Definitely notable. 5 other sources, in addition to an official bio by FNC, none of which are really very different than, say, Snopes were proposed. I understand that the list of proposed sources was extensive and not explicity mentioned for notability here; however, glamourpath, starsgab, factsbio, bio-peida, wealthyspy, chandigarhfirst, xycinews, arealnews, informationflare, factualhub and yankeestv are just Among the sources that discuss her and her career . The problem I have with characterization of her lack of notability is that people aren't writing about her. All of the people mentioned above are though. "A good rule of thumb is that any website where a biographical article has a title approximating 'Height, weight, age, relationships, wealth' is not going to be a reliable source" does not appear at WP:BIO nor at WP:RS/PS nor at WP:Reliable Sources. Still others include newson, nexttv or either this https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/kmiz-reporter-and-anchor-to-join-fox-news/article_2359c174-5273-11ea-9a22-93909c8ccd25.html or https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/kmiz-tv-anchor-ashley-strohmier-will-join-fox-news-as-overnight-anchor-and-news-correspondent/430603/ .

- https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2016/07/19/1604208/tnt-gives-gidget-chance-shine is fine - provided you cite the original article from the Philippine Star. We prefer not to cite content aggregators.
- We can't use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgBLFtz0z24 (connexion to subject). Any footage of her performances is going to be unusable as a source except to cite that she performed on (foo), and YouTube as a source is dubious. We only generally accept YouTube videos that are from outlets which are otherwise considered reliable and that are uploaded to the outlet's own verified channel.
- I cannot assess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxsxIg9hkPE (geoblocked), but if it's similar to the video above than this video can't be used as a source anyways (connexion to subject).
- We can't use https://ent.abs-cbn.com/videos/2422716-mary-gidget-dela-llana-is-the-new-champion-of-tawag-ng-tanghalan-164718 (connexion to subject). I am going to make a blanket statement here: Any video that is merely her performing for a talent show is completely worthless as a source. Any further sources on that front shall thus be summarily rejected.
- We can't use https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/entertainment/02/27/16/laguna-lass-snatches-tawag-ng-tanghalan-belt (too sparse). Extremely short article.
- " " " https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/03/01/16/laguna-singer-earns-third-tawag-win-with-dadalhin (" "). " " ".
- " " " https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/entertainment/02/29/16/laguna-singer-defends-tawag-ng-tanghalan-belt (" "). " " ". I will make another blanket statement here: "Articles" which merely consist of a few sentences aren't usable sources full stop, as they can't provide any sort of depth. Any further sources of this nature will also be summarily rejected.
- https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/03/05/16/vice-ganda-pulls-a-steve-harvey-at-tawag-ng-tanghalan is useless for this subject (too sparse). The main thrust of the news story is a judge's gaffe; Gigi is only mentioned in passing.
- We can't use Tawag ng Tanghalan (season 1) (circular reference). We do not cite Wikipedia, sister projects, or mirrors of Wikipedia.
- https://starcinema.abs-cbn.com/2020/12/2/news/gigi-de-lana-signs-with-rise-artists-studio-66154 is borderline at best (and more likely useless for notability (too sparse)). There's very little about her in the piece that she doesn't say herself.
- https://www.abante.com.ph/gigi-de-lana-pinabilib-si-charo-santos/ is likewise borderline at best (and more likely useless for notability (too sparse)), for much the same reasons.
- https://mb.com.ph/2021/10/11/iqiyi-reveals-6-new-korean-filipino-shows/ is useless for this subject (too sparse). Name-drop.
- https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/26/21/gigi-de-lana-binalikan-ang-hirap-ng-buhay-noon seems fine.
- The bulk of your sources are to her appearances on Tawag ng Tanghalan/It's Showtime and disrespectfully perfunctory summaries of same. This in and of itself tends to be an argument against notability, on the grounds that a person who is only really notable for appearing on a reality show or talent competition is little different from a person whose only claim to fame is they videotaped a Black man being beaten by police, and thus the article on the person should redirect to the article on the season they appeared in or (if that doesn't exist) to the article on the show proper. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 19:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

My submission was declined, on the grounds of "reading like an advertisement." I am unsure which portion of the draft this refers to and have tried to add external links to reference all information, so I am requesting to know what changes, deletions, or improvements can I make to the draft in order for the submission to be approved ?

- It's an advertisement because it just tells about TheFork and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about (in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. The sources you offer simply report the routine business activities of the company, this does not establish notability.
- If you are associated with this company, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. 331dot (talk) 07:53, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

19:50:00, 21 October 2021 review of draft by Tabatha Adchoir
Hi, I'm trying to figure out what qualifies as reliable Source for my Artist References. For example, the first Article referenced, by Ricardito for SoulTracks Magazine, which has a Wikipedia Entry itself seems reliable to me as it is an unbiased and non-promotional review by a well known genre defined Magazine. The Article by Mentalunrest.com named Aural Dive is another umbiased review, but reliable I'm the sense that Mentalunrest is a well known and visited Arts-Review Website. I guess trying to figure out which References I should keep and which to delete, as maybe some lesser known websites don't qualify. Thank you for your help.
Tabatha Adchoir (talk) 19:50, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Tabatha Adchoir: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a in-depth third-party source that corroborates it or (if no source can be found for that claim) removed. This is a hard requirement when writing about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT negotiable. Your issue isn't the quality of sources - it's that you have far too few. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 22:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Jēskē, Thanks for your response, I think I'm slowly getting the picture. I guess my real question is how does an independent Artist get to have an Article if he doesn't have Prime Coverage? If a respected Site like SoulTracks, which has a Wiki Entry and a worldwide Audience of about 250k monthly doesn't qualify as a reliable source then the chances become slim. If unbiased Album Reviews by well known Music Blogs don't count, though the Independent Music Industry relies on them, even slimmer. So how does one let the world know of the existence of this Artist, thats clearly been consistently putting out Material for over 10 years now? Should he be advised to sign a Label Deal and get a Billboard Magazine Article first? Thanks for your Help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabatha Adchoir (talk • contribs) 06:32, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Hi Tabatha Adchoir. "Let the world know of the existence of this Artist" is a goal that is antithetical to the purpose of Wikipedia, which may not be used for any type of publicity, promotion, or public relations. If getting the word out about him is your objective, you may wish to explore alternative outlets for your writing. Encyclopedias, being tertiary sources, don't contain biographies of people the world at large hasn't already taken significant notice of.
- Wikipedia gauges this attention not by how long a person has worked or how prolific they've been, but by how much has been written about them in independent, reliable, secondary sources. SoulTracks writes as much about an artist as they're willing to pay for; they are neither independent nor reliable. Self-published blogs are reliable only for the opinion of the author. They don't help demonstrate notability except in the rare case of professional music critics who have previously been published in reliable sources. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources contains a list of sources Wikipedians have found useful when writing about music. Billboard is on that list, but so are many others. --Worldbruce (talk) 08:13, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

I need information about the Orthodox filakto, and Wikipedia doesn't (seem to) have any. So I made a page - a stub - in the hope that anyone will fill it in. It is a draft, named Filakto (Orthodox). The filakto is very common, so I am sure lots of people will have information on it. Can I publish my stub in the hope to attract authors? I was looking for information, and then got the option to request page creation - that already means that I am not the proper person to provide that information..

Thank you for your review. Since the article has been declined , I would really appreciate it if you could tell me a little bit more in terms of ways to improve it. I have only received vague comment saying that the article reads more as an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. I have been researching this person through internet and common friends and would appreciate you pointing out which parts should be changed.

To create a page about the French mathematician Maurice Marcel Clerc, my model was the one about his colleague and friend James Kennedy. They worked together for many years on Particle Swarm Optimization, and wrote together an IEEE awarded paper. Actually J. Kennedy said once that the contribution of M.

20:01:49, 22 October 2021 review of draft by Forich
I created the draft for Karoll Marquez a few weeks ago and submitted it for review.
One reviewer responded that:
Nothing shows notability here, there appears to be no coverage on the athlete in reliable, secondary sources (YouTube cannot be cited). The television he is "known for" doesn't appear to be notable either, as the shows themselves don't yet have an article.
.
I have read the review, and improved the draft in the following ways:
- The article is not about an athlete, as the reviewer interpreted, Marquez is an actor and singer
- There are now two reliable secondary sources on the draft: Revista Semana and El Tiempo, both very reputable news sources in Colombia
- Many of the television shows he has acted in now have wiki links to their pages. Oye Bonita links to english wikipedia, the others link to spanish wikipedia
- The song Mentira links to an english wikipedia entry
- At least two works of Marquez then have their own entry in English wikipedia, with many more having an alone entry in the spanish project
Please comment on whether this changes have improved the draft Pinging @Clearfrienda: as well.

- I kept the piece from Semana that talks about his sexual orientation, but to tangentially serve as the source of the date of his first music album. All controversial mentions of sexuality were purged from the article
- I also added many new facts about Márquez based on reputable sources (i.e. El Tiempo, El Espectador, El Heraldo), including two or three facts relevant to his notability

Hi everyone,
I wrote a draftthat was declined because of the question of notability in independent sources. I've added new links to show that Choksi was named a global influencer by the UN Foundation, profiled for her work in an independent Indian magazine, named a star contributor for VICE magazine and received several awards for her work from New York University, Fulbright Program, Wallace House and International Women's Media Foundation.
Does this sound like it addresses the problem?

- Even if the awards do help for notability, the problem is that with an article like this you are beholden to two policies for an article: Notability and WP:Biographies of living persons.

Hi there,
Thanks so much for spending the time and energy to walk me through this. I think I understand the distinction now and went ahead and added appropriate links that I believe better establish Choksi's notability.
I'll sum it up here:
1. https://opcofamerica.org/Awardarchive/the-madeline-dane-ross-award-2018/ An award that describes her work and that was presented at an award ceremony hosted by a CBS anchor and uploaded to the official OPC site.
2. https://medium.com/the-coalition-for-women-in-journalism/mansi-choksi-represents-cfwij-at-article-19-mexico-ad54f5d895a This article sums up a speech she gave at an Article 19 conference in Mexico about her work in journalism. Article 19's official channel. Article 19 is a human rights organization that is linked to a Wiki page above. I have also linked to a Youtube video aired on an Spanish news TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDlYSZnUl4
4. https://www.iwmf.org/reporting/a-chance-to-rewrite-history-the-women-fighters-of-the-tamil-tigers/ This piece, although written by her, includes an intro by the editor since it was the last piece written by the murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall. It also won a nomination for the Livingston Award, which is the most prestigious award for journalists under 35, they are referred to as the Pulitzer of the Young, as seen in its Wiki page.
5. https://longreads.com/2017/12/22/the-top-5-longreads-of-the-week-201/ Her story has been picked as the top 5 long reads.
6. https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/2018-livingston-award-finalists-announced/ I changed the link to Wallace House to show that she was a finalist for the most prestigious award for journalists under 35.
I'll look forward to your thoughts.

Anyways, I see now the wider picture after your comments and I really appreciate your patience. I will pass this article for the moment then, and keep it in Draft mood till I see more reliable articles from him , something stronger to sustain his work, cause is pretty evident that only 2 or 3 press releases are legit for wiki policies and makes sense all.

21:19:59, 23 October 2021 review of submission by Socratesart
I would like to withdraw from this submission due to:
1. Repeated attempts at a shakedown by an agent who is a member of the wikipedia editing community claiming to be able to insure publication of this article for fees with implied threat of preventing its publication otherwise. These activities could only have been perpetuated by someone knowledgeable of the draft submission attempts and thus are inside the wikipedia editing community involved with this article. 2. Repeated false statements by some reviewers regarding status of publishers and venues cited in draft. 3. Insinuations by some commenters/reviewers that have no bearing in reality or fact.
I have no interest in participating in abusive or exploitative processes of this sort and want no further connection with this article or its processing. This is not a request for review of the submission.
Socratesart:talk 21:19, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Socratesart simply abandon the draft. But recognise that the attempted shakedown is a scam FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:00, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Socratesart As stated, what you describe is a scam perpetrated by third parties. Legitimate Wikipedia editors will not demand the payment of any fees for guaranteeing publication. 331dot (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- yes, it was clearly a scam and I sincerely hope you are right about it not being a legitimate Wikipedia editor, but how could they even know about the draft if they were not a Wikipedia editor? I'll have to admit to being a bit disillusioned and confused. Also, how did an earlier [uncorrected] form of the draft get published on Wikitia if there wasn't someone inside Wikipedia involved? This Wikitia thing is a bit unnerving, too, as it published a form of the draft that was not yet ready or intended for publication, and now THAT version is out there in public! ugh Socratesart:talk 23:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- yes, I am abandoning the draft. Thank you all.Socratesart:talk 23:33, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Socratesart: What happened is that they were stalking your contributions history. All edits on Wikipedia are public knowledge, and nothing prevents someone from finding a draft and crossposting its content to Wiktia if they (1) know where to find it, such as through your contributions and (2) are in compliance with Wikipedia's licence. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 00:27, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.Socratesart:talk 17:16, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Socratesart It is perfectly usual for sites to "scrape" content from Wikipedia. It is allowed under the licensing. The thing to do is to be completely unconcerned about it. If you look when you submit any text here you allow this. As an example I see "By clicking "Reply", you agree to our Terms of Use and agree to irrevocably release your text under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and GFDL" below the text I am entering now.
- This means that we release any control of any text we place here, this message included.
- If you decide to pick up the draft you are abandoning again at some future time it will be made available to you even if it is deleted.
- I'd genuinely prefer you not to be disenchanted and simply to accept that you have been wise and not fallen for a scam. No-one can prevent any article from being published provided the article itself meets our rules FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 17:28, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

04:44:45, 24 October 2021 review of submission by Thefarcry
Hey there, my current article was declined for creation due to apparently having copyrighted material from my listed skjolddesign.com source, and I'm a little confused as to what exactly is copyrighted, considering the following: 1) The skjolddesign.com source talks about the subject in a non neutral point of view, where as my draft has kept neutrality in speaking to his merits to musical notability. 2) Everything that's been spoken about in that source has been verified from numerous other sources that are independent of both the subject, and of the skjolddesign.com source.
Thank you for any and all assistance in the matter! Thefarcry (talk) 04:44, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- Copyright violation has nothing to do with the neutrality of the source, or how it contributes to notability, Thefarcry. I am supposing that you have copied and pasted information from that source, which seems to be having a copyright license incompatible with Wikipedia's license. For legal reasons, we cannot accept material of this sort. The page was deleted for this reason, at least in part. JavaHurricane 05:03, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey there, I triple checked the information I used from the provided source, and I made sure to state what I used from that source in the most simplistic manner possible to avoid issues of using an inappropriate tone, with of course the citation to go along with it. The editor who declined my submission already suggested for me to reach out to the administrator who deleted the article to get it reinstated for resubmission, which I'm currently in the process of doing now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefarcry (talk • contribs) 05:09, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey there @Timtrent:! Absolutely, fortunately my draft was restored after the original editor who viewed my first submission of the AoC draft submission + administrator who initiated the deletion both came to the conclusion that my article did in fact not have any violations of copyright infringement.

You declined my submission on Rules Based Motion, and your comments are both correct, pertinent, but unfortunately unresolvable.
If a concept is regards as new by the US patent office, can that be regarded as more than a simple neologism.
This is a new concept to reconcile the impossibility to explain how the wrist works when all the parts vary but the net output is consistent. The concept under pinned patents filed in 2000, as well as my PhD. It is clearly described as a neologism, and more /all of the background work is from our group. The wrist has been an impossible structure to resolve (and fix until now) due to is wide variation within the linkages and scatter-gram findings of empirical observations. This new concept has led to a surgical approach that is becoming a standard repair, but the Rule Based Motion notion is beyond most colleagues comprehension. Given your comment, I do not think this is resolvable and one of the challenges I have accepted of pushing out new concepts to question old incumbent and unworkable ideas. My thought was that Wikipedia could provide some notion that it was worth considering as way to reconcile the empirical vs conceptual explanations for such systems - and thus allow input form others in other fields. Maybe it could be aired, but with lots of disclaimers. You are right it is pulled off my thesis and other articles, but they contained the considered and required text, with some additional material. Thanks for the quick response, but unless it can be considered largely as it is, not worth resubmitting. Worth a try for me, but will not be able to address your concerns - as they were quite correct. MJSMJSandow (talk) 02:22, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Brian Tudor Speedy Deletion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Brian_Tudor
I am an avid fan of specialty card tricks and when I found that wikipedia had articles about it I was surprised to find that they didn't have a profile for one of my very favorite magicians. How does Lee Asher,, Chris Kenner, Daniel and David Buck - Dan and Dave who all worked with him have pages, yet he does not?
He is mentioned in several articles as the creator of the genre:
[[1]] (Multiple mentions) [[2]] [[3]]
The authority on card flourishes, Jerry Cestkowski said in his book, Tudor had "very, very good flourish cuts and some unbelievable false flourish cuts." (http://docshare.tips/the-encyclopedia-of-playing-card-flourishes_587545e9b6d87f86848b49f5.html )
You asked for more independent sources to confirm his notability, the article lists that he is cited as notable by:
1. Vanity Fair 2. Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes 3. Urban Dictionary 4. Genii Magazine 5. Magic Magazine 6. DecemberBoys.com.ua 7. Bicycle Playing Card website 8. "Flash Cards with Jerry Cestkowski" podcast
Under "Requirements for Notability of Entertainers", he qualifies under: 3. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CardistryExpert (talk • contribs) 02:33, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
I am in contact with the cited noble contributors such as David Copperfield, Chris Kenner, and Dave and Dan, but they all don't understand why the draft would be rejected.
Do you have any tips to help me accomplish this?
CardistryExpert (talk) 02:14, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi CardistryExpert. I've left a detailed comment on the draft. It isn't productive to compare the draft with existing articles. Wikipedia is user-generated, so it isn't a reliable source. It's possible that he shouldn't be mentioned in those articles, and the existence of an article doesn't mean it should exist. It could be that some of those biographies should be deleted, but no one has gotten around to it yet. It's also very common for some members of a set of people, who are similarly talented and have worked together, to have been written about more in reliable, independent sources, and some written about less. That, not ability or accomplishment, is what defines notability in Wikipedia, so some will be notable and some won't be. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
