Request on 10:31:36, 29 August 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by 77.42.137.202


I added an article about the civic influence hub in Lebanon. It is a registered lobby group in Lebanon that is working on socio-economic change. The article was reviewed and declined. I need to know the reason and how we can fix it.

Thank you.

Jena fuller (talk) 17:29, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I've written a band page and I tried to link to a youtube video but I got a blacklisted link notice. I wonder if that crosses the line from encyclopedia to promotion? I don't see youtubes on other band pages here. I saw a whitelist option for links but I don't want to do anything that might hinder my article's acceptance (the wait is long enough!) so I thought best to ask before I do anything else.

Second question is, I see wiki pages that have a "Contents" box on them. My draft doesn't, so is that something I need to generate or does that occur upon it going from draft to article?

Thank youJena fuller (talk) 17:29, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube is a problem because so many of the videos on it are breaches of copyright. It is deemed inappropriate to link to such a breach. Many other youtube videos are promotional and unreliable sources. You can see why we avoid it! There are ways of linking to youtube. See {{youtube}} for details. It is usually only deployed in an External links section.
Contents is autogenerated when an article exceeds a certain number of sections. I suggest you ignore it and be pleasantly surprised when it happens. One can fiddle with it,but I suggest you do not. To find out how it all works I suggest you use your sandbox to play. Fiddle Faddle 18:43, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

17:33:17, 29 August 2014 review of submission by Bragdonite


I need to understand specifically why my article in Arthur Dyson is declined. I have not yet mounted the images, but I am getting copyright clearance on those even as I write this to you. Please tell me precisely why this Wikipedia essay, which took me four months to write, does not qualify for publication on your web site. What error? What lack? Every citation is accurate, and there is a diversity of sources. Arthur Dyson is one of the most accomplished living architects in the organic architecture tradition, and has no representation on Wikipedia.

It is inconceivable to me that that there is any informational basis for this article to be declined. I am a respected architectural historian published in five languages, with over 100 articles, two book essays, and a monograph to my credit. For 35 years I have been considered a national authority on organic architecture. I observed the thicket of rules and guidelines.

Thank you for your time.

Hello Bragdonite - I'm afraid there's some confusion here, your draft at Draft:Arthur Dyson has not been reviewed yet, thus not declined either. We will try to get to it as soon as possible, but we're struggling with a very large backlog. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:48, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

18:20:00, 29 August 2014 review of submission by Allisonellis


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover.com was flagged as an orphan so I updated the referral links. My question now is - how long does it take for the orphan notification to go away? Is there anything else I need to do on my end?

Thanks so much.

Allisonellis (talk) 18:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Allisonellis - the orphan tag doesn't "go away" - you can remove it when you've fixed the problem. You'll find it near the top of the page, it looks like this: {{orphan| month year}}. When you delete it please state in the edit summary that you're removing it because you've fixed the problem. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:37, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

08:35:40, 30 August 2014 review of submission by Skadge

Hello, we (~5 researchers from 5 different research project) have been working on an article to compare (academic) robotic simulators.

I appreciate that Wikipedia policies regarding 'original research' require published sources. Most (if not all) of the projects referenced on the page have academic publications attached to them, but those publications give technical overviews that are not sufficient to provide accurate technical comparisons. Hence the reference to websites. Would it be sufficient to add references to the academic publications in the first table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Comparison_of_Robotic_Simulators#General_informations) to prevent the WP:OR flag?

[Please also take into consideration that the current article discussing simulation in robotics Robotics_simulator is just a list of links to websites, with no order (except the one the respective authors of the softwares decide to set, ie, theirs first), no comparison, and many outdated/obsolete references. I believe our proposal for a more systematic comparison represent a notable improvement.]

Thanks for your help Skadge (talk) 08:35, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References to academic papers (for example) can pose problems. Broadly, unless the paper has been peer reviewed, or published in a WP:RS, it is a primary source. Primary sources may be used in a restricted set of circumstances, and a consensus may need to be reached on their deployment in this case (if you choose to deploy them). THe objective, yours and ours, is to achieve an authoritative record of the material that is published elsewhere, not to create new research, nor to synthesise new research from existing material.
Others here will know the various Wikiprojects to contact for advice. My suggestion is to open a set of discussions on the talk page of the draft to show your thinking, and to reach relevant consensus on any areas of doubt, inviting the WIkiproject(s) to help and comment.
The draft as a whole has excellent potential. I am sure you don't need to be told that. The world of academe is very different from Wikipedia. Reading WP:ACADEME will; indicate how different.
Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. I would love to have accepted this one at once when I reviewed it, but I viewed it as needing reference polish. Fiddle Faddle 08:43, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick feedback. Still, I do not understand why a page that compare readily available softwares (1000th of similar software comparison pages exist -- and are useful -- in a variety of domains on wikipedia) suddenly lead to WP:OR issues. I mean, the page only compare features of these softwares. It does not try to synthesise research/review approaches, etc. Skadge (talk) 08:50, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Skadge: The other pages you mention may or may not be poor pages. The issue we have is that no page here may set a precedent for any other page. If we allowed that then the standards would decline rapidly and we would head faster and faster towards Idiocracy. Wikipedia has a great many pages that are below the standards we strive for. It is valid to flag any that you find for improvement, perhaps even deletion. Any editor may do this and should do this. A comparison page that is not referenced may, in extreme circumstances, be seen to utter a libel. This is something we wish to avoid.
I am aware of your good motives in creating a decent, clean, and correct comparison page. I'm equally sure you wish it to be of the highest quality. Excellence in referencing achieves this best. Fiddle Faddle 08:59, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent: I understand your answer. I'm fine with discussing on the Talk page of the Draft how to reach the wikipedia standards, but I have to admit that I do not yet understand what you are looking for/expecting. How would you build a reliable (and simply *factual*) comparison of publicly available softwares if neither references to the projects' websites or academic publications are not suitable? Skadge (talk) 10:00, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Skadge: If you re-read both what I have said, which is an interpretation, and then study policies and guidelines, which are chapter and verse, I hope you will see that there are carefully regulated circumstances in which both types of less reliable verification may be used. The thing you are creating as an article is one of the hardest to source. This is why I am asking for excellent standards and great care. What we all look for is diligence in finding and deploying sources which are independent of the item, are significant coverage of it, and are in WP:RS. Once those are in place less reliable sources can be used to backfill verification that one can only get from, for example, a primary source. Fiddle Faddle 12:13, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because this conversation has direct relevance to the draft and the subsequent approved article, I am copying eveything above here, including the title, to Draft talk:Comparison of Robotic Simulators. My strong suggestion is that further discussion should take place there. Fiddle Faddle 15:23, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

18:38:15, 31 August 2014 review of submission by Sparkoparkes


I have been struggling to insert two photographs into my first article, entitled: Walsall Lithographic Co. Ltd., in my Sandbox. Having spent a couple of hours and re-doing them several times, I finally managed to upload them into Wikimedia Commons, then had a bad time trying to insert them into my article with my own, proper captions, instead of the rather stilted, awkward captions I had to give them at the Uploading process. Try as I might, however, I could not get them to appear in the Preview of my article at all, much less get them to appear as I wanted them to appear, in a box down the right-hand-side. There is nowhere I could find any help or instructions how to do that, which is VERY frustrating! My latest draft, which has now been submitted for Review, only has the edited, written lines for the two photographs at the bottom of it, so I have no idea whether or not they will be included in the final page, if it passes review. Sparkoparkes (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sparkoparkes. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do with the pictures, but the basics can be found in the picture tutorial.
With that being said, though, I don't think your article will be accepted, with or without pictures. There are absolutely no outside sources cited for the information. Wikipedia needs sources. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 18:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sparkoparkes: I moved your draft to Draft:Walsall Lithographic Company, so you can use your sandbox for something else. I subsequently declined it, as it had no sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:05, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

09:00:07, 1 September 2014 review of submission by Hamik.m

Dear reviewers. Once again addressing to you asking to review our article when you have time. The question is that the painter the the article is about, will be having one of his works presented at the Phillips Auction. This is a very important event in the life of a painter, and there will be lots of people trying to wiki him. I have edited and removed all the text that other reviewers considered ad-like. Now the article consist of purely biographical facts and 4 citations from respected 3rd party art magazines, as well as Daily Mail and La Reppublica.

One more question was that my last reviewer considered that the painter does not pass the notability criteria. I would like to disagree with that, and the best proof for the painters notability is actually the expert committee of the Philips auction where the painter is going to be present at lot #222 (the link is in the article). Phillips is one of the oldest auction houses, established in 1726 and trying to rival with Christie's and Sotheby's so the experts there are top ranked.

Please review the article ASAP to be able to get online before the auction.

Thank you very much in advance. Hamik.m (talk) 09:00, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How do i get my submission approved?

Hi

We are the makers of a portal called www.tfod.in - The Future Of Design. The basic information about the portal was submitted by me for your approval. The submission is not an advertisement. It is information about the portal, created for the art, architecture and design fraternity. Please guide me what changes in the text can help me get approval.

There is nothing at Draft:The Future Of Design and no deleted page at The Future Of Design, nor has your account edited any other pages that I can see. So I can't offer any comments on your submission, not having seen it.

QUESTION

I recently had an article accepted, entitled Handwashing in Judaism. When I go to my Sandbox, I still see the article there, just as it would appear on WP Article Space. My question to you is that if I delete my Sandbox article (which appears exactly as it appears on WP Article Space) will it be deleted from WP Article Space too? In short, my question is "How do I clear my Sandbox without affecting my article in the Wikipedia Article Space?"Davidbena (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidbena: Your sandbox is a redirect. You can remove that redirect coding and re-use your sandbox with absolutely no impact on the article in question. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:05, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it can't be made could one of your editors look into it and may be write a page about it as it has being on a number of papers in Ireland and abroad.

I wonder why you have not actually looked at the reviewer's comment on the draft? It tells you all you need to know.

BaileyBoo (talk) 11:47, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello BaileyBoo. The single reference on the draft Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Cure Parkinson's Trust seems to work fine; if I click on the doi number I am taken to a webpage about the "Motor and Cognitive Advantages..." paper, and if I click on the pubmed number, I am taken to a different webpage about the "Motor and Cognitive Advantages..." paper. Was this a problem that you've already resolved? Or maybe it was fixed with this edit. Incidentally, neither page appear to mention the organisation your draft is about, so the reference may not be very useful for proving the notability of your topic under Wikipedia's requirements Wikipedia:VRS.
I cannot see any special characters in URLs in your text. I note that some external links have been removed from your body text by another editor. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:25, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

16:22:17, 2 September 2014 review of submission by LaurenSullygirl

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and was just hoping for some help and guidance. I am not sure what is wrong with the article I submitted, but it got denied. I would love to talk to someone.

Here is the article:

Joseph Janus born March 30th, 1969 is the CEO for WeSC-WeAreTheSuperlativeConspiracy, a Swedish clothing brand primarily influenced by skateboarding and snowboarding with distribution across the US as well as in 47 other countries globally. (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) Previously, Janus was formerly the advertising and marketing Senior Vice President of Calvin Klein and Creative Director of Bodhi. (9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,28,29.) While at Calvin Klein, he was responsible for launching new brand extensions in fragrance, fashion and accessories including Calvin Klein Jeans, underwear, handbags and CK One fragrance. Janus also created the luxury handbag line Bodhi, with distribution in top retailers such as Fred Segal, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Bloomingdales. In addition the Bodhi brand was expanded to include both men’s and Tech collections. (17,18.) Janus is also an accomplished songwriter, CEO and President of Fearless Management and Productions that has been home to musicians such as Ben Jelen. (19,20,21,22,23,24.)

Early Career Joseph Janus has over 20 years of experience working in the fashion industry as a creative and design director. He gained early attention in Los Angeles by reviving the JNCO Jean Company, “During his four-year tenure, he said, the company’s sales soared from $20 million to $300 million.” Janus worked with an “in-house group of illustrators, clothing designers, graffiti artists and promotion experts that serve as an ad hoc ad team to ensure the look and feel of advertising will be anything but traditional.” “The key to success, he notes, is to make a product that helps kids feel good about themselves.” The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Brand Week Magazine (25) have all recognized Joseph Janus for his contributions to the field. In 1997, Advertising Age Magazine named him “Marketer of the Year. (26).”

Joseph Janus’ success attracted the attention of Designer Calvin Klein himself, who personally recruited Janus to direct the advertising and marketing department where he launched various brand extensions for the brand.

Music Using the same market savvy he developed in the fashion industry, Janus created Fearless Management to manage music artists, assemble groups and produce and write music. His first two records were on Madonna’s Maverick Records. Janus went on to sign singer-songwriter and humanitarian Ben Jelen to Linda Perry’s Custard records, connecting him with respected producers who rarely with new artists. Janus and Jelen collaborated to develop a charity titled “The Ben Jelen Foundation,” to help create a greener earth. Collecting donations from Fiji Water, Altoids and Café Bustello. Their charitable efforts combined will help fund green initiatives around the globe.

Hello! I am having the hardest time with the infobox on the page I am working on. No matter how much I have messed with it when I click "Show Preview" its showing up still in HTML mode. Is preview capable of showing it as an infobox vs HTML text? If yes, could someone see why mine is not formatting? I have looked through the help desk and mostly it was suggesting the parameters might not be right, but I have checked these several times. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you explain further about the "two too many left square brackets"? I can't find which ones need to be taken out. I took out the ones at the very beginning but that didn't change it at all...

@Catoec: I already fixed it as seen here. They were before "file" when you're calling for the logo image. Thumbnails of images only have two square brackets before and two after. You had four before. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:06, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

11:04:02, 3 September 2014 review of submission by George.wyngaardt


Hi,

I have been trying to create a page on a South African company called Santam, I find it unbelievable that Wikipedia has information on smaller companies based overseas but yet it refuses to accept information on a large and proudly South African company. The following editor (JamesBWatson )has deleted by previous submissions deeming it as Unambiguous advertising which I believe is completely inaccurate. Initially I was unfamiliar with Wikipedia submission guidelines however after several hours of research, I now understand how to submit credible, unbiased yet useful information.

My latest submission has been stripped down to just facts, there are however a few interesting facts that I had to leave out due to my concerns regarding what the previous editor flagged as being "promotional content". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Santam&oldid=623991857

Please forgive my frustration, it's just that I see some level of inconsistency here. Sanlam was able to create a Wikipedia page but when you look at the context of the submission it seems a bit unjust that this information was given the go ahead. I understand that you are not obligated to accepted any of our submissions but please consider the nature of the above mentioned submission without quickly going through a "speed deletion" process.


Regards, George

Please see WIkipedia:Donating copyright material. That site says "© Copyright 2014 · Sudhir S. Raval" and we are protecting the copyright owner's rights. No-one has the faintest idea who you are, and we will not assume that any similarity of name means you are the same person. Just imagine how angry you would be to find your copyright trampled all over.
WIth regard to that website, I suggest most strongly that the material there is entirely unsuitable for Wikipedia. The gentleman does not appear to be notable from what is said there.
Please also read WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. There are many good reasons not to write one here, assuming this to be you about yourself.

Then possibly you could start a draft on a topic that meets the requirements, if your existing topic does not.

To editor Ecsayer: Much of the "Partner Products" section is copied from a press release. You might think that simply removing it would fix it, but the content is still in the page history, and that is still not allowed. If the text were copied recently, we could simply delete the versions that have a copyright violation, while leaving the article intact. However, this text was added very early on, so almost all the versions have it. So, the best option is to simply delete the entire article and start over.

To editor Imainfp: The logs indicate that it was copied from here. (Only an administrator can verify if this is correct, but I will assume it is.) Even if you wrote that biography, it is not acceptable currently because 1) we cannot verify that you did, and 2) it needs to be made available under a free license.

I will answer question 4. You can see all your edits made on this project (English Wikipedia) by clicking "Contributions" at the very top of the page. The only exceptions are edits that have been deleted, or edits when you were not logged into the Swmusic account.
I will try question 3 as well. The best way to add a photo is to take the photo yourself with your own camera (therefore you will own the copyright to it), and then upload it to The Wikimedia Commons project, providing that you are willing to release the photo under a free license. The advantage of uploading it to Wikimedia Commons is that it could then be used in all different language Wikipedias as well as just the English Wikipedia.

01:39:17, 5 September 2014 review of submission by Quejay

My article about French author François Leprieur was rejected on the basis of the subject's lack of notability and a lack of independent, third-party references. I am not asking for a re-review but rather seeking suggestions for addressing these issues.

Leprieur is not a prominent figure. He has written two authorative books, though, about an important movement in France in the 1950s (the worker-priest movement). I thought that an article about an authority on the worker-priest movement would be of interest to some readers.

With respect to references, I wasn't able to find much information other than the sources I cited. I do not dispute the reviewer's comment that my sources consist of author and book pages on publishers' and e-commerce websites. If more information is available on the Web about Leprieur, though, I haven't been able to find it. I thought that if the article were published, someone who has access to more information might be able to add it.

Thank you for any guidance you may be able to provide. Quejay (talk) 01:39, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By whom is he regarded as an authority on the movement?
Be aware that sources do not have to be online on the web to be useable for proving notability. If his most important work was published in 1989 and was only of interest for a narrow historical or perhaps theological field, then it's unsurprising there may not be reviews by reliable sources that can be found with Google. But it is still possible that reviews did appear at the time. If some independent reliable reviews of both books can be found, then this should suffice to prove notability.

Hello, it looks like Draft:Reggae Rajahs was deleted because it copied large amounts of text directly from the website mentioned at that page (the deletion reason includes the website it was apparently copied from). Because all content on Wikipedia is permitted to be re-used even for commercial purposes, we absolutely cannot have material copied from other websites except where the material explicitly has a license that allows this.

Question 1: I practiced writing my first article in my sandbox. Once i clicked "Save Page" and confirmed that I wanted to submit it as an article, I received the confirmation "Review waiting" and a warning that said: "Warning: This page should probably be moved, but a page already exists at Draft:Sandbox." Below this was a button that said, "Move to Draft space."

I'm not sure what this means. Does my article exist only in my personal sandbox? What is the "Draft space" and how is it different from my personal sandbox? Ultimately, it is my goal to have my article appear in Wikipedia and I'm not sure if there is anything else on my part that I must do now that it is pending a review.

@Bacimituti: I moved your draft from your personal sandbox to Draft:Francesco Lo Castro where it can be reviewed. You've already submitted your draft for review so now it's just a matter of time. The message you saw only indicated that there's already content at Draft:Sandbox. I recommend that you remove the external links from the body of the article and cut the numerous quotes in the "Press & Reviews" section as it is not of encyclopedic tone. Wikipedia is not here to advertise so the more boring the draft reads, the more likely it will be accepted. Also, I don't think All About Jazz is a reliable source so I would remove all content that relies on it. Finally, like many in your industry you've incorporated a lot of name-dropping. This cognitive bias will not make the case for notability.

The reviewer responded that I'd included something that violated copyright, however the offending item was simply the URL of a public website so I don't understand the problem.

Also, it appears that the article was deleted very soon after the review, which pains me greatly. I spent several hours to-ing and fro-ing with the client in order to get it to the point it was at, and if I can't get it back then it means I have to go through the whole painful process again from scratch.

While I understand that you can't host anything that breaks copyright, it's pretty brutal to remove it entirely without even saving a copy that I could fix. Is there any way that I can get back what I had and make the necessary changes?

You have infringed copyright at http://www.nsw.ipaa.org.au/events/2012/ipaa-regional-conference-2012 How would you like it if it were your own copyright that had been infringed? We protect copyright vigorously by deleting offending material on sight, and tend not to pass the material that broke copyright to anyone at all. The deleting admin may hold a different view and you should ask them. Please see WP:COPYRIGHTS. I note that you have a client. This also tells me that you have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia may not be used for promotional purposes, and paid editing is deprecated. It takes a very skilled editor to be able to handle such matters.

@John.A.McKee Since the article has been deleted, I can't see it and therefore cannot provide any advice. However if you can email me a copy I might be able to help. It should be noted that contributing to Wikipedia with a conflict of interest is very strongly discouraged, because often your client's objectives are often counter to Wikipedia's rules (for example they may want an article, whereas Wikipedia's rules may suggest that none should exist). Therefore my default advice is not to waste any more of your time on this, but I find in about 25% of cases someone in your position can be helped in a way that benefits Wikipedia. I'd have to see the article to suggest which circumstance this particular case may fall under. CorporateM (Talk) 12:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:33:44, 8 September 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Swherton


Hi I have just received a message that the article I wrote contained copyright information and the article was deleted. This is not very helpful because I would like to know where the copyright information was and I could have had a chance to edit it if I had known. Is there anyway I can get this back?

Kind regards Sally

The piece was deleted as a copyright violation of http://timhailes.com/biography.html It seems unlikely that you do not realise that you copied this page, an action which seems unwise since the gentleman is a legal counsel. Fiddle Faddle 08:45, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined Wikipedia needs articles that look as if they belong in an encyclopaedia. How did this one make you consider it was ready for submission, and why did you bring it here? Fiddle Faddle 18:15, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a typo in the name of the article. It should read "Continuous Drilling Provision." Daphid90 (talk) 18:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
