01:27:32, 1 May 2020 review of submission by Greg c1988

the feedback given is absolutely incorrect - "The Queensland Times citation just added was an exact copy of the news.com.au article that was already cited" In the Queensland Times article, their is no referencing to News.com.au - They are different articles, they both state different facts.

For example, I was going to add this reference by the Daily Mail, but then I realised at the bottom it was linking back to the News.com.au article which I have already referenced - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6857699/How-Australians-enter-lottery-potentially-win-Powerball-jackpots-bigger-1BILLION.html There are other exact articles to the one of the Queensland Times, like - https://www.dalbyherald.com.au/news/the-lott-reveals-the-games-most-frequently-drawn-n/3618774/ or https://www.tweeddailynews.com.au/news/the-lott-reveals-the-games-most-frequently-drawn-n/3618774/.

All sections have been properly referenced. There is no failure towards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies).

Also, I have addressed this issued according to the feedback I have received on Teahouse: "Hello, Greg c1988. Your understandable confusion lies in a common misunderstanding about what "notable" means in the context of Wikipedia editing. It isn't the everyday meaning, but rather one that has arisen within our Wikipedia-editing jargon. What it doesn't mean is important, or popular, or well-known, or worthy, etc., etc. What it does mean is, in summary, "has been written about sufficiently extensively by independent third parties in several unconnected pieces published in reputable, well-edited academic or journalistic organs, providing sufficient information on which a Wikipedia article can be acceptably created." The fuller explanation can be found at Wikipedia:Notable. Therefore, to be acceptable an article has to be about a subject that has been written about in this way in Reliable sources, and the article has to demonstrate this by citing those sources to support the bulk of its contents. It sounds to me (as it probably did to the first reviewer you mention) that this Company probably is a notable (i.e. sufficiently publically documented) subject, but the article has to prove that it meets Wikipedia's relevant requirements, in this case those of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), by including citations to suitable and sufficient third-party sources. Such sources are likely to include independently written pieces (so not PR releases, or interviews with subjects employees) in reputable newspapers, and text in books, etc., produced by established professional publishing companies (not self-published works). Note that not every fact in an article has to be derived from an independent (of the subject) Reliable source – uncontrovertial facts like business address, name of CEO, number of employees, etc., can even be taken from a company's own website – but notability can only be supported by completely independent sources. I hope this makes things clearer. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.121.161.127 (talk) 16:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Requesting for this to be re-reviewed. I would like this to be reviewed by another reviewer, not - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Curb_Safe_Charmer.

Greg c1988 (talk) 01:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greg c1988 I agree with the assessment of the reviewer. Most of the sources seem to be press release type articles or routine announcements, not significant coverage. 331dot (talk) 07:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:57:38, 1 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Shahkarshah


Hi JFY My article was deleted few years back, because I copied a few lines and pasted the text without making an effort to read the instructions, so I stopped writing on Wikipedia, after a few years I am trying to write again without coping any line I have used templates from Zaha Hadid, I hope it is legal, and I am trying to write this article to encourage those who love art but their families stop them from joining these professions. Please check my article can I publish it. Thank you Shahkarshah (talk) 12:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:13:40, 1 May 2020 review of draft by Ym2X


Someone else resubmitted this draft (I had previously submitted) so I did a short source review on the talk page to hopefully show that the draft passed WP:GNG (and then I also added a source to show the subject passed 2. of WP:SINGER), but it has since been declined again.

The most recent decline reasons were "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources" and "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement" which looking at the AFC workflow sheet seems to be only a few steps away from the accept circle (taking those two reasons to be the "reliably sourced" and "neutral pov" diamonds, I could be wrong?).

Perhaps I could stubify the draft, any unreliable sources could be removed and both these problems would be solved? Then the article could be grown in mainspace where there is more room for collaboration?

I just wanted to check whether my understanding of the process is correct and whether my proposed solution would actually help? Ym2X (talk) 13:13, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:21:41, 1 May 2020 review of submission by Atim2019


This article is rich enough to publish it, why voiding it

Because the article is basically an advertisement. Wikipedia is not a place to promote a business. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:46, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:08:48, 1 May 2020 review of submission by Nesherin

Hi, I'm looking for someone who can help me with this page. I've been trying to work on it for several months now but apparently it doesn't work, I just dopn't have the skills.... I really want this page to go online, it's about a theatre group that doesn't exist anymore. It would be good to have it archivd in Wikipedia. thanks

Nesherin (talk) 15:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a place to memorialize someone or something. If the group does not meet the notability criteria, it cannot be on Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 15:46, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:10:33, 1 May 2020 review of submission by Oketa daniel

My submission was rejected. Reason being that it was taken from a Blog Post. And I can prove that I am the one who othered that same blog post. What should I do now. I am the original author and I am even making a book on the same subject. Oketa daniel (talk) 16:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oketa daniel, You need to link to the article that you are talking about. Also, if you are writing a book about the subject, that means you have a financial stake in promoting the subject, which means you need to properly disclose as a paid editor. I've posted the applicable information on your talk page. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:11:40, 1 May 2020 review of submission by MedialadyCLA


I'd like to add a photo of the subject of an article to his article. How do I do that? MedialadyCLA (talk) 17:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MedialadyCLA, did you take the picture, or have the permission to license the picture? If not, you can't upload it except in very limited circumstances.
Because Wikipedia is licensed under a free license, where as long as we are attributed anyone can use our content, images (except in very limited circumstances) must also be released under a free license. We can't have images licensed just for use at Wikipedia, or under licenses that don't allow derivatives or commercial use. If you upload a photo here, it can be used for any reason, with the only condition you can require being attribution.
Knowing the above, you can upload the image at Commons:Special:UploadWizard. If the image wasn't taken by you, but you have permission to license the image, you should also email permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, where volunteers will record and store the permission to use the image. ~~ Alex Noble/1-2/TRB 17:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kojo Essel (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kojo Essel, Well for starters it reads like an ad. Articles need to be written from a formal point of view. Secondly, are you connected in any way with the subject? If so you need to declare that by following the steps at WP:COI. If you have been paid by the subject you must disclose that by following the steps at WP:PAID.

Why is my article determined not sufficently notable for wikipedia? My topic is on a rapper who has several albums and has worked with other big name rappers. The article's decline seems entirely subjective.

Mrcoleprotocol522 (talk) 18:25, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mrcoleprotocol522 Your draft does not show with significant coverage in multiple published independent reliable sources how this rapper meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. Please review the criteria. Two of the references are to this rapper's own website, which is not an independent source and does not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 18:28, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

01:27:04, 2 May 2020 review of submission by Greg c1988


Hi guys,

I have removed the line which was originally marked as "citation needed", which was was just deemed to be a duplicate in the last review - which I contested. Re-reading it over again, this line is not needed anyway, as it is a fact about the parent company and not the actual company in which this article is based on.

All citations have been added where requested. Sections that have been marked as having insufficient references have been removed (as stated above, plus another in other feedback).

There are currently 8 citations, in 6 different categories: 3 x News 1 x Charities 1 x Different Charity 1 x Industry Analysis 1 x Government's Legislation 1 x Australian gaming council

Trying my best here guys. This is obviously a notable topic, as every other lottery in Australia is on Wikipedia, including netlotto, which has terrible content (no citations) and isn't even a lottery - but a reseller. This article is an expansion on the category of Lotteries in Australia. I'm trying to get this to a level of quality you require. Yes, it would be great to have this article live for The Lottery Office, but it's also a notable topic in the industry that expands on this subject for Wikipedia. It is not simply adding a business for self-promotion.

Unfortunately, the only citation I can make to the law, points to the legislation in the Northern Territory. To mix it up, I have added - https://www.austgamingcouncil.org.au/content/northern-territory-code-practice-responsible-online-gambling. But this then points to the original citation I had anyway. And, news articles are most common in this sector. Charities don't do write-ups, except on social media, it's just really hard to get anything more solid.

Is there something else that needs editing?

Really hope these changes satisfy the Wiki's stringent requirements. I absolutely understand why you reviewers are strict. Wikipedia has reached a level where every man and his dog want to advertise their own business, and obtain solid backlinks. After reading through all the feedback on this page, I don't envy the work you do as volunteers.

But I genuinely ask you to please, have a re-read though all of this, and allow me to fix what ever needs to be readdressed - If still need be. What you need, where, and how. I will do my best, but I don't know what more I can do. I have researched this topic everywhere for further references. I can't get anything. I don't have any contacts who can help me in the company, but then again, if they give me a reference, it would be from them anyway.

I have found a copy of the Northern Territory license, in PDF format, issued to The Lottery Office. That's the only thing I haven't included. I can, if you think it's relevant.

Cheers, Greg

Any updates on the above? The review draft has been left with an Ask For Advice button and I've received no further updates on two comments left on here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg c1988 (talk • contribs) 05:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 02:46:45, 2 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Gumshoe2


My article on mathematician Peter Li was rejected for not establishing notability. Peter Li is a Guggenheim fellow and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as indicated in my draft. Wikipedia already has pages to list each year of rewarded Guggenheim fellows, and most recipients have wikipedia pages - so it seems like that should already be enough. On the laudation from his Academy of Arts and Sciences election, which is even more prestigious, the reviewer said

"That is a primary source and does nothing to establish notability. Wikipedia requires multiple in -depth coverage of him in reliable sources unconnected with the subject."

In addition to being, I think, directly wrong about establishing notability, it seems to me like this sets a bad standard for articles about academics, since such sources do not exist (except for publicly famous figures), and it doesn't seem to matter anyway in articles about other academics of similar standing and reputation. What exactly do I need to add to my draft to make it publishable?

Gumshoe2 (talk) 02:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gumshoe2, Well you have just a single source. In general articles require at least three sources, and ideally more. Also, receiving the Guggenheim fellowship does not automatically make one notable. It can certainly help, but it is not qualifying by itself. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 09:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bgbluesky, You have a single source. That is not suffucient. However, this organization appears too localized to actually be notable. Perhaps if it were a national organization with a bunch of chapters, but not like this. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 08:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:26:21, 2 May 2020 review of submission by Dean197

This article I wrote was declined and I am unsure how to action the feedback given, as I believe it has been adhered to. The feedback was 'This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article...they do not show significant coverage from reliable sources.' And yet, all of the citations I provided on the subject matter were from national news organisations in New Zealand (the location of the company). Any guidance on what next steps to take would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dean197 (talk) 06:26, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dean197, We don't write about everything. This appears to be just an average company, nothing special about it. Unless you can show that this company has received significant media coverage, i.e. it is in someway more interesting than the average company, we can't write about.

Why is there such a huge double standard regarding Notability for MMA fighter? (WP:MMANOT)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jiri_Prochazka_(martial_artist)

You declined the above for not being notable even though he is in the UFC now. Plus he won a title at Rizin Fighting Federation

Meanwhile you let wiki pages like this be created

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Lee

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_Moraes_(fighter)

IN YOUR OWN WORDS for WP:MMABIO

Criteria supporting notability

Have fought at least three (3) professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization, such as the UFC (see WP:MMATIER); or Have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization

According to WP:MMATIER ONE Championship isn't a top tier organization. So why does she get to be considered notable again? In fact this is not a one off case. This double standard has been applied to other ONE Championship fighters too.

210.6.22.101 (talk) 08:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks and we are in the process of finding them and fixing them. Just because another article is bad does not mean yours can be bad. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
Part of the issue with your article is that it has a mere three sources. You need to make sure that all information in the article is supported by a reliable source. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 08:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:57:30, 2 May 2020 review of draft by Jojo.nguyennga


I see the category of my sandbox is my user name. How could I change the category to be specific to the subject of the article?

Also, how to publish an article with a title? I only see the sandbox as title.

Thank you very much!

Jojo.nguyennga (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jojo.nguyennga, When a reviewer approves the article they will give it appropriate name. Until that point, you should consider that the article lacks inline sources. It is also quite promotional in its tone and approach, lacking the formal tone and neutrality of an encyclopedia article. Also, there is no evidence that the topic is notable, i.e. reasons that we should cover it CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, This is my first wikipedia article on the CBR Building in Brussels. So far it has been declined twice, first due to lack of a neutral tone, now for a lack of references. I feel like I succeeded in removing subjective elements and peacock terms in the text, but I do not yet understand why it's not referenced correctly. (or other problems that I'm not aware of) The list of references are all valid sources, which contain all the information I used in the article.

If you could help me a bit I would greatly appreciate it!

18:04:38, 2 May 2020 review of submission by Razvan112002

Hello! I have a question regarding the rejection of my article about a new Romanian airline. The rejection reason was that is not notable enough, but I don't think so. It's an airline which will be used by many Romanians this summer as part of flight+hotel deals and moreover, Aegean Airlines, a major airline in Europe has a stake in this business. I have collected all the information carefully, from reliable sources, and I have provided a source for all of the content published. I don't understand why this page may be less relevant than other pages. For example I found on Wikipedia the page of an old Romanian airline which has been flying for almost 6 months and no more. There are as well articles about many other smaller, less relevant charter airlines, but with less information than on this page. If you want I can provide examples of that kind of pages as well as more sources for Animawings article (such as ch-avia, a well-known site for aviation). Thank you for your time and I hope that you'll reconsider your decision about this page, as many tourists wish to find out all this info about their airline in only one place- Wikipedia. Razvan112002 (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Razvan112002, It might be notable in the future. But at the moment, an airline with a single plane that hasn't even flown a route yet? No way. Maybe try again in 6 months, but almost zero businesses are notable before they have begun. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:36, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I require help as I'm trying to write my first article and 'NO' it is not a 'Conflict of Interest', I don't work for them or have any close links.

I'm very new for Wiki.

I made draft article about her because of her effort and contribution to local women's community. I don't make any promotional related in my article. Even the celebrities and social bloggers are on Wiki, my honest question is why can't she? She have a lot of media appearance, even she is Young Southeast Asia Leader Initiative's country lead, but I didn't mention in the article because the announcement is only source at social.

Please help me for correct, and help one reviewer who know Myanmar language.

Nyiminsan (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nyiminsan I would first suggest that if English is not your primary language, that you may feel more comfortable editing the version of Wikipedia that is in your primary language. Regarding your draft, it is good that this person does good work, but Wikipedia is not for telling the world about good work or good causes. A Wikipedia article must show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources how the person meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. The reviewer felt that this person did not. I cannot read the Myanmar language so I cannot evaluate the sources for myself, but if the person does meet Wikipedia's definition of notability, the sources and article text need to better indicate that. If you just want to tell the world about this person, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 07:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Oliver Burns Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that the reviewer felt there was little to no chance it can be improved enough to meet Wikipeda's standards of notability.

Hello, I am requesting a re-review of this article. I have updated my user page disclosure to state that I am did create this page on behalf of a client. However, I also believe that the person the page is about - Smadar Nehab - fulfill's Wikipedia's noteworthy requirements, and has made significant contributions to the development of an Arab high tech sector in Israel and a shifting socioeconomic landscape in the Arab community. These, I feel, are entirely worthy of Wikipedia pages as they represent objective, significant change and shift in Israel. Now that I have disclosed that I am being compensated to write the page, I believe it does not violate Wikipedia's standards and that it should be re-reviewed.

09:59:39, 4 May 2020 review of draft by Masato.harada


I am unclear why my film submission has been declined. The reason given is:

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of films). 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.

Has the submission been declined because: 1. The entire subject, that is this film, is not suitable? In which case, is the problem whether or not the film exists? My external links to independent sources demonstrate that there is such a film. Should I change the external links to make them references? Or

2. Is the problem that the two statements in my submission which are supported by references do not have sufficiently strong sources? In which case, should I delete the references and leave the submission unreferenced (which is the situation with many articles describing less well known films which have been accepted on Wikipedia)?

Masato.harada (talk) 09:59, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This reference [1] doesn’t mention the film and IMDb is not a reliable source, so you have in effect, zero reliable sources to support any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 10:34, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  3. We had this before

The much more serius concern is that the Draft lacks sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. YouTube isn't considered a relieable source because it's user-generated.

Dear Wiki community. Thanks for checking my submission so quickly. :D As I would like to become a more active member of the Wikipedia community, I am eager to learn why this article was rejected. Its a direct translation from German Wikipedia (should be pretty encyclopedic, I don't know who created it there), and the article has been requested in the English Wikipedia in at least two other articles (eg here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_for_Syrian_Coexistence and here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bloc_(Syria) ). Sources like DW, FAZ, Die Welt, ZDF are highly established mainstream news platforms in Germany. And I basically chose this topic because I thought it was a quick way of getting my engagement here running and I am somewhat surprised by the rejection reasons. Hence, I would like to know better how to improve the draft or future contributions. Any feedback highly recommended. Thanks ;D

Hello,

I would like some help improving the submission I wrote about Alexander Boldachev. My submission is declined for 2 weeks because "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter." Could you help me by specifying what I could improve or clarify so that the context is sufficient for everyone?

Many thanks for your help,

56-k Maz ==

56-k Maz (talk) 13:17, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 56-k Maz. The fundamental problem remains that your submission contains material copied from other websites in violation of copyright. As a consequence, the text portion of the draft has been hidden until the copyright problem is fixed. I've unhidden the first sentence, which does not violate copyright, but without any other text, the draft has insufficient context to be accepted.
There are instructions on your talk page and in the large "Investigation of potential copyright issue" box on the draft about how to resolve the issue. New editors who dive into the deep end of the pool by trying to write new articles (one of the most difficult tasks novice editors can attempt) instead of learning their way around in the shallows (by improving existing articles) tend to be left to sink or swim on their own. If you want assistance, you may find it easier to attract if you explain on User:56-k Maz what your connection to Boldachev is and why you are writing about him on Wikipedia, instead of improving the encyclopedia's millions of other articles. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:59, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Worldbruce.
Thanks for your quick feedback. I fully understood the principle of copyright infringement which was pointed out to me a few months ago. It has since been corrected. I thought the issue would be solved in this way.
I am a new editorial on the English Wikipedia but I have written some submissions in French. I have never seen this issue "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter." and I wish I could correct it. --56-k Maz (talk) 08:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@56-k Maz: You are mistaken, the copyright problem has not been corrected. The paragraph beginning "Boldachev’s discography ..." is the most blatant example, but there is too-close paraphrasing in a number of other paragraphs. The only way to correct the insufficient context problem is to first fix the copyright problem. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:21:45, 4 May 2020 review of draft by DanWASB


Hello. My draft article was recently rejected for reading too much like an advertisement. I'm wondering if an editor can give me an example or two of the non-neutral language in the draft that was cause for rejection.

I could see making a few minor changes — such as replacing "represents" with "is a membership association representing" in the introduction — but these seem, well, minor.

Could an editor explain what I might need to add or remove to correct this issue? I've added a number of other sources in an earlier revision.

My username is DanWASB. I have disclosed my affiliation to the association about which the page is written.


DanWASB (talk) 14:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The text The WASB, based in Madison, Wisconsin, provides member services such as legislative advocacy, leadership development and legal and policy guidance. and the entire "Services" section are typical of promotional articles. I often see such wording in drafts about law firms and consulting and other service firms. I can't say what aspects RoySmith (a very experienced reviewer) had in mind, but those are my thoughts. I would also mention that the section "About School Boards in Wisconsin" seems to have very limited relevance to the topic of the WASB. More about the various actions that the WASB has taken over the years might be helpful. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 20:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DanWASB, I noted a couple of phrases in particular:
  • "provides member services such as legislative advocacy, leadership development and legal and policy guidance."
  • "provides services intended to help board members be more effective and run their districts run more smoothly"
I hesitate to call those out in particular, however, because I don't want to leave the impression that if those two phrases were excised, what's left would be acceptable.
Dan, while I thank you for complying with our COI disclosure rules, I do need to draw your attention to WP:COI where it says, COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. ... Editors with a COI are sometimes unaware of whether or how much it has influenced their editing. I'm sure you meant well, but your desire to promote the WASB comes through loud and clear in just about every sentence of this article. That's why we so strongly discourage people from writing about organizations they are connected to. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keaton lariver, Your professor wants to have you turn in all of your work like that? You may have misunderstood them, as Wikipedia drafts are not for schoolwork like that. The only thing we can approve from students is actual articles that would fit in our encyclopedia. All of the extra cruft has to go. If your professor really wants you to turn that in via Wikipedia, they are mistaken. Send it to them in a word doc or something. Also, your draft is nowhere near the standard of a Wikipedia article. That doesn't mean you've failed your class, it just means we can't publish it. It will need improvements if we could publish it. However the real issue is that the topic is unclear and unsuitable. You've essentially written a how to guide, not a formal encyclopedia article. I'm not sure what I'd even title your article if I were to accept it. What is it about?

00:01:07, 5 May 2020 review of submission by Cdg1072


Dear editor,

Concerning this article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_contradiction_of_Poetics_chapters_13_and_14

only one editor (out of several) was supportive of the article I submitted, and he suggested what changes he thought would make it sound more objective and free of any synthesizing or opinion that was my own. I incorporated his changes and resubmitted (it had already seen a few previous submissions). But since that one editor, the last two have both tersely stated that the article seems "non-neutral in tone." It has at this point received a "stop" notice, presumably indicating that more advice should be sought before resubmitting, or do not submit again at all.

My article does not, in fact, contain my opinions or original research, and it is neutral. It only contains the opinions of people who are experts on the topic, which is appropriate for Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles contain many opinions, but never strictly the opinions of the individuals writing articles. Every opinion mentioned in Wikipedia is mentioned as a fact, the fact that someone holds that particular view of the topic. In other words, many topics covered in Wikipedia lack a single consensus view of the issue, whatever the subject is. Some topics do enjoy a consensus, of course, and perhaps those are easier to report on. But some topics are still under debate, so that multiple views and positions have to be mentioned. This is not against the rules of Wikipedia, on the contrary, many of its articles exhibit this feature.

If the editors are right, then, there must be some expressions in the article or long-winded passages that make it look like it is a new opinion, of the person submitting the article. But that is a distorted view of the article. So to solve the problem, it is necessary to either decide (1) that the topic is too esoteric and obscure for Wikipedia, or not important enough to be found in an encyclopedia. Or (2) Wikipedia editors should try again to state what specific things in the article actually make it look like original research (which it is not). What are those things, so that they can be changed? I personally cannot see anything in the article that strongly gives this impression. It all looks objective and neutral to me.Cdg1072 (talk) 00:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Cdg1072 (talk) 00:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cdg1072, The article has been rejected which means it will not be considered further. Creating a new article is one of the most difficult tasks on wikipedia. I would recommend working on existing articles first to get a better idea of the tone and structure we look for in an article. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've never been interested in creating a wikipedia article, per se. I have 1000 edits on Wikipedia articles, a few of which are not minor. That experience, while not extensive, has nothing to do with the change of fortune paradox. I only created the article because it is a very notable topic that's 500 years old. I have no idea what you mean, by talking about this article being different from other Wikipeida articles on similar subjects. You suggest looking at other articles in Wikipedia? Well, I've been reading them for 20 years. I could look at other articles, like the one on Theories of Humor, or Theory of Descriptions, forever and not see a difference. It's exactly the same. The tone and structure is exactly the same, and if you could show otherwise, you would. But you can't, and I don't care -- thanks.Cdg1072 (talk) 00:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way to withdraw an AfC submission that I submitted?

Glittershield (talk) 07:40, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Glittershield. One view would be that the sentences "In April 2020 this company partnered with Impactguru.com and raised funds to provide meals to the families affected by Covid 19 lockdown in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Noida and Chennai" and "The company has raised venture capital about $526 million from companies like [long list omitted]", and phrases such as "they started BB Daily to supply milk to the public", and "for the public to order fresh fruits and vegetables and other FMCG(fast-moving consumer goods)" are promotional.
Another way of looking at it is that all of the content is promotional. The mere existence of an article can be promotional if the article shouldn't exist. Allowing an article about Bigbasket would imply that it belongs in an encyclopeia, the way the State Bank of India and BP do, when Bigbasket is nothing like those examples - it is not notable (not suitable for inclusion).
The other articles you've created in your first few months here, Ridaex Technology and Colive are being discussed at Articles for Deletion. This suggests you haven't yet grasped just how difficult it is to create new articles, especially about companies that are still in business. Revisit the topic in 3-5 years. By then, the company may have gone public, and enough may have been written about it to make it notable. That will also give you time to gain experience editing existing articles, experience that you will find valuable when starting new ones. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sarbsinghdhammu (talk) 08:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why my artical is rejected.

Sarbsinghdhammu It was rejected because you have not been shown to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Wikipedia is not social media for people to tell the world about themselves; this is an encyclopedia, where articles must show how the subject is notable, as described with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. In addition, writing about one's self is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

13:15:03, 5 May 2020 review of submission by David Selves


I have read the guidance for submission and completely understand the initial rejection points. I have since added far more notable aspects to David Selves'life, including as Deputy Chairman to The London Press Club, which is notably one of the oldest press clubs in the world and one of the very few still in existence. I have added references to everything possible and have made it encyclopaedic and straight facts. The article is certainly meant as a history of his life to-date. Are you able to either review the contact and hopefully publish or offer some advice so that I may amend accordingly.

Thank you for your help.

Request on 14:41:37, 5 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by LilyRCSRF


Hello, 

   I hope that you are keeping safe and well. I am writing to ask for help with the publication of a Wikipedia page about our charity - The Civil Service Retirement Fellowship (The CSRF), that is a registered UK charity that has been running since 1965. I have been given the feedback that the one I have submitted is 'basically a promotional press release' and that this is the reason it has been rejected. I know that other charities have Wikipedia pages too, so I was wondering if I could ask what can I do to ensure that our charity can have a Wikipedia page? I would very much appreciate your help with this as it would be wonderful to make this happen as we have been trying to get one published since January and Wikipedia is such a great platform. We do have a lot of history and information that I hoped we could share through the article I submitted. However, if including that history makes the page too promotional, I completely understand, and a basic description page about who we are and what we do would be great! Some of our vice presidents and board directors even have existing Wikipedia pages that we could link to?

Thank you so much in advance for any help that you can provide - I really appreciate it and the comments so far.

Stay safe and well. My kindest regards and very best wishes, Lily

The latest submission has been declined as it feels that I am writing this about David Selves, as himself. However, I am writing this about David Selves from a third person aspect. This is based on my knowledge of David Selves and is in no way intended as a sales publication, just as an encyclopaedic reference to his life. Are you able to give any further advice in order to progress this further? Thanks.

Davidwomackpr Are you yourself David Womack? (your name is "David Womack PR" as in public relations, suggesting you might not be David). Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves. Please see the autobiography policy. Once you meet the Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources, of what you have done, not what you will do, independent editors will take note of your career and write about you. A Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable. If you just want to tell the world about yourself and how you will change entertainment, you should use social media. 331dot (talk) 01:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

04:29:40, 6 May 2020 review of submission by MrConnieGenius

It is true that a previous link to this book elsewhere on Wikipedia (as just cited in the rejection notice) was removed for being a personal promotional link and not being a bona-fide work of literature however, please know that those reviewers themselves, after actually taking the time to look at the bibliographic details, realized their mistake and reinstated the link. I believe they were so quick to judge primarily due to the "colorful" title of the work as well as the modernist cover photo, both of which defy expectations of what a novel from Iran should look like. It would be more "proper" if the cover had some religious fanatic women dressed in black robes with machine guns but this, whoa, a story about some badass blogger in Iran who talks just like you and me, how can it be?! In fact, this is the very reason I am "promoting" this non-commercial, non-mainstream, alternative work available as a FREE, PDF download. I am trying to overcome stereotypes. The author of the novel is up for the prestigious international Hans Christian Andersen Award (stalled due to Covid-9) yet the general public is unaware such a progressive writer exists precisely because his works are hard to access. Is not Wikipedia's raison d'être to include such works? I would not have been surprised if the article had been rejected due to technical faults (the big publishing houses have a whole staff of tech-savvy experts to promote their books on social media whereas I am just doing the best I can) but I was not expecting that previous rejection (since corrected and accepted) to come back and haunt me. MrConnieGenius (talk) 04:29, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MrConnieGenius, It's weird that, in a message where you claim that your book article isn't promotional, you somehow figure out a way to further promote the book (FREE, PDF download). Unfortunately, your article has been rejected which mean it will not be considered further at this time. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the notice of speed deletion on Draft:Amit Bhadana (yutuber) made by me. this is not right. This is an Indian YouTuber article which is the most subscribed YouTuber in India. Do not look at this from the perspective of advertising. I am very sad. I gave the correct reference. There is no reason to delete an article that was previously deleted. Whoever has done this may be jealous of India. Only then does one delete that article repeatedly. I request you to keep that article on Wikipedia. Many Indian YouTuber articles are available on Wikipedia. While there are not many good references among them, they are still on Wikipedia. And I have seen many articles which are without reference.

This entry presents a theoretical/conceptual model that aids organizations in dealing with and managing complexity. It is a new conceptual model and has been supported in a various publications (refereed and non-refereed). There is no advertisement of any company or product in this entry. This entry is not commercial, especially when compared to a number of currently published wikipedia articles. I could list more that a dozen here as I did in my last entry. This is not a commercial article, it is an article introducing a new conceptual model that has been supported by both industry and academia.

Why not let the community decide? Isn't this what wikipedia is geared toward, letting the public edit and alter as they see fit?

I scrupulously followed all editorial advice and provided numerous sources, including secondary independent sources. I see that another post with very few references that does not respect the advise I have been given as reason for rejecting my post has been approved within days of its creation. The post approved is The Europeans (podcast). The subject has less coverage and subsequently less external links and sources. Half of the references are to their own content, at odds with Wikipedia's policy that I have been communicated. I have been asked to review my posts for motives and requirements that were clearly not applied in the case of this new post for The Europeans (podcast). This was a lot of hard work and I take the Wikipedia policy seriously therefore I am very disenchanted to see double standards applied. Queenofboston (talk) 17:30, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly was the reason the page wasn't allowed to enter Wikipedia? I thought it had as much as relevant info as the P.S: Fashion page. There aren't enough references online for FUSH d.o.o. as it is. The company is an important company in the scope of Serbian companies and it deserves a Wikipedia page.

Nebojsa.durmanovic, Per the decline message: 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:05, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When my article on Matthews Southern Comfort was accepted yesterday, it was published as needing two citations in the introductory section. The first I have fixed by rephrasing the wording, the second by providing a reference to the album releases from Discogs. Having done that I am totally unsure of how to delete the Citation Needed maintenance flag. Rather than do something totally erroneous, could I ask an experienced editor who fully understands these things to please do it for me, as I don't really suffiiciently understand this aspect of Wikipedia. Thanks.
