Article denial

You denied the article I submitted due to lack of reliable resources. Can you explain why they are not reliable? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BBEA (talk • contribs) 16:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

i don't know which article you're referring to. these will be of useful read, though: Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Wikipedia:Notability. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 16:42, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Submission declined

You declined my submission for Articles for creation/No More Sad Refrains: The Anthology because it wasn't adequately supported by reliable sources. Why are these sources not adequate. Is the format of the reference inadequate (not enough information), the type of reference (Official Sandy Denny webpage and Allmusic.com Sandy Denny entry), or some other reason? Wikizenji (talk)

hello there. this is intimitely described here: Wikipedia:Notability. the subject should have plenty of references available, so this shouldn't be hard. in order to create full citations please read: Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:26, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raymond Vanier

Hi thanks for reviewing the above. I understand the need to Wikify the citations, which I intend doing. I have already drafted and included some reputable and strong References, to which I will form in-line cites. However I am surprised that you seem to have flagged up questioning whether Vanier is "notable." As a colleague of Didier Daurat, he was one of the first pilots of l'Aeropostale (subsequently Air Blue, Air France, now Air Bus Industries) and as already stated in my draft, founder of Barcelona International Airport. The pair of them went on to pioneer routes throughout Europe, Africa and across the Andes into Chile. They are the basis for characters in novels of Saint-Exupery too Vanier once rescued him!). Hugely significant for the development of European civil aviation and airmails. There are entries for both Vanier and Daurat in French Wikipedia, but this article on Vanier will be better and subsequently I may improve the English Wikipedia article on Daurat too, if not too discouraged by reviewers! Perhaps you would be kind enough to re-read the draft in terms of its content rather than its observation of Wiki editing rules. Best Wishes, Dendrotek 22:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dendrotek (talk • contribs)

i am sure the notability of the article's subject will be easy to establish with veryu reliable referenced. best of luck, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:02, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dendrotek 23:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC) Cheers - I've copied the draft into my Sandbox to do some Wikifying. Dendrotek 23:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dendrotek (talk • contribs)

Articles_for_creation/Thanks_to_My_Eyes

Hello FoCuSandLeArN, I received your message saying this submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. I included external links and references to two opera houses who presented this opera, the publishing house who published it, and the composer and the librettist of the opera, plus a few article reviewing the premiere. I thought these were going to be enough sources to make the information verifiable. Please let me know how could I improve on that matter, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GiavanniCors (talk • contribs) 23:34, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

you'll find a detailed explanation of what counts as valid referencing here: Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 23:42, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crow hailer

Hi there, I have a dilemma I hope you can help me with... the BBC have posted a biog page for the music band I represent (Crow hailer) but I can only upload a biog from Wikipedia. Can you please advise me how I can edit my article to make it acceptable to Wiki? They have played many concerts in France and the UK and released an album in 2012 (available on iTunes and Amazon). They have been played on BBC 6 Music and reviewed by various journals including Electric Harmony. The band is made up of 'seasoned' musicians who have been playing for decades and been in other successful bands. They will be touring this summer and have already been confirmed for a number of festivals - shortlisted for Glastonbury just today. Please can you help? I am fairly computer savvy and consider myself reasonably smart (I have a PhD in molecular biology) so I can find my way around most websites but this has thrown me a bit as I can't quite see what I am doing wrong... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Justbut&diff=next&oldid=546980715

Many thanks Justbut (talk) 23:43, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

well, put simply, wikipedia requires certain standards for every article. you'll find a point summary here: Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. also, for inline citations: Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners (remeber they need to be full citations, not just bare urls). good luck!

Matt Sergott post request

Hi!

You denied my submission based upon notability and references. I included many references from independent sites like IMDB which are industry standard and easily verifiable. Could you please tell me which references you find unacceptable since so many were included? Also, if notability is a problem, is that something that can be corrected? If you just do not feel Matt has made adequate professional contributions regardless of my references, could you please let me know so that I do not waste both our time with further references?

Thanks, Ann

he might be notable, however i can'r recall the specific article. imdb is not an acceptable reference according to wikipedia guidelines. if after reading Wikipedia:Notability, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners you feel he's notable, please provide extensive, full citations and resubmit your entry. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 17:03, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vizzini (The Princess Bride) subimission denied

Hello, i'm the author of the Vizzini (The Princess Bride) article. You said my article was not supported by reliable sources. I'm not sure if you have seen The Princess Bride, but another character of that movie, Inigo Montoya, has his own wikipedia article. That article only has ONE reference. That reference is the original book manuscript. I used that same reference, having seen the movie and read the book, and I also used quotes from IMDb. So I am asking you to relook into my article because I use the same source as Inigo Montoya, and more. JoshBlitz (talk) 20:46, 27 March 2013 (UTC)JoshBlitz}[reply]

articles can be created without going though the afc process. the point of doing so is for experienced editors to give feedback to first-time article creators. my feedback to you is that imdb is not a reliable source. thousands of articles on wiki are entirely unreferenced, that's precisely the point of submitting an afc review. i'm sure said character will be adept at having better references. let me know if you require any further assistance. a book is a perfectly valid reference, as long as it's fully cited. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, i'm fairly new to wikipedia, even though I used IMDb, I only used it for quotes. The rest were ALL from the book refernece. I'm not sure if you've read the book or seen the movie. Also, how come Inigo Montoya was aproved even though it used the same reference I used? Also, you explained something about having an article moved into wikipedia space without the AFC process. How do I go about doing that. JoshBlitz (talk) 22:23, 28 March 2013 (UTC)JoshBlitz[reply]

that article probly did not go through the afc process. in order to establish the notability of an article's subject, sources must be extensive. a book mention and some imdb quotes won't do the trick. please improve the references and re-submit the entry. regards. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty then, how do I submit my article without going through the AFC process? Also if I do somehow get my article into wikipedia space without going through the AFC process, would it get deleted?

AfC submission

I became aware of your decline of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Carna Botnet because I have User:Lowkeyvision's page on my watchlist. Could you please expand on your reason for declining the article? All you said was "original research", but I don't see how that's the case here at all; the information is verified in several reliable sources, and while the article may be perfect, I don't see any major information that isn't in those sources. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

you're right about the original research, it seemed like it at first, however it was a bad call. it doesn't appear notable, though, which was my second decline reason; i don't see how a gif image of internet usage deserves a wikipedia article. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 13:19, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined submission: NASDAQ OMX

You declined submission because of unsourced material and unreliable sources. I am just a student learning about stock market and want to contribute to wikipedia in this area and about my country's stock market. Official website of stock market is best and very reliable source since they are required by law to provide only correct and verified information. I believe this applies to all stock market information in all countries, since based on this information investment decisions are being made.

I will gladly add more citations and sources, but can you review your position on official website as unreliable source?

sources need to be independent of the subject and establish its notability. please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 13:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
