- Draft:Oshkosh Steam Wagon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Is there an easy way to copy the references when you create an article by translating an existing article into English? In this case, the German-language article that I translated even cites English-language sources. I swear I've seen a template or something for this in the past, but I can't find it anywhere. (So now I have to contend with unhelpful editors trying to delete my draft every six months--if only people would be so enthusiastic about porting over the references from the German version!) Jelliott4 (talk) 01:57, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jelliott4 Welcome to Article for creation. You can use Wikipedia:VisualEditor by pasting the URL on the field of the Visual Editor box and click "generate" and it will automatic fill the necessary fields for you except the "author name" of the source article. thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 02:25, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CASSIOPEIA. Thanks for your help, but I'm still confused. I eventually figured out how to enable VisualEditor, but I don't see any field into which I can paste the URL of the source article (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_Steam_Wagon) as you described. Thanks again. Jelliott4 (talk) 01:44, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jelliott4 Good day. I am not sure VisualEditor works in De (German) Wikipedia. Try on English (EN) Wikipedia and see if click "cite" on the top menu, a window is poped out of not where there are a field you could paste the URL. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 01:57, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jelliott4. The citation form used in the German article is a complicated one so I did it for you. Please note the repair I performed to the page history to provide copyright attributiomn for your translation. The next time you translate an article please be sure to do this. Copyright attribution is mandatory. See Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate and Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects for instructions. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:02, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Fuhghettaboutit, both for doing the citations and providing those links that I was unable to find on my own!! Jelliott4 (talk) 22:17, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Caileigh Scott (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm confused about two notes I just received from a reviewer and want to do my best to correct these, but need clarification.

1) Cited sources. They're noted as not being reliable, but sources are from notable entertainment publications like Variety, Playbill, and Broadway World, as well as other notable political sources (for better or for worse) like Observer and NowThis News. I'm just confused about this note because these are key places where people turn for information on the topics in the AfC.

2) Reading like an advertisement. I will do my best to change the wording, but I studied a lot of existing articles about similar people and modeled the tone and information off of those. I'm not clear on what is "sales-y" about the AfC.

IssyHam (talk) 02:33, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the sources were properly formatted as footnotes, it would be easier for us to evaluate them. Instead, this draft includes dozens of external links, floating there like turds in a punchbowl. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:55, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Docking theory of olfaction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am an experienced Wikipedia editor but need assistance in redirecting (and then merging) an earlier page, "Shape theory of olfaction" to a new page I just created, "Docking theory of olfaction". Redirection is based on the agreement in two different review articles that the newer naming is more accurate and preferred. Ideally what I would like to do is rename the older page through a redirect and then replace just the first section of the merged article with the new material. Once this has been accomplished the I will go through the now merged article and modify as necessary. Also I was under the impression that since I have already authored and edited numerous Wiki articles that I could write and publish articles myself without going through the review process. However I cannot figure out how to publish by myself without having the Wizard force my aticles to first be reviewed. How do I get around the review step? Thanks very much for your kind assistance. Dolly442 (talk) 07:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dolly442 Good day. There are 2 ways to get the article published (1) for new editor via Article for Creation (using Wizard) and there other is go through new page. To create an article via new page, you could just click on the "significant glass" top right corner, which it will lead you to a search page. Type the name of the title on the search field, if there is not such name matches the title (in read ink), that means there is not such article existed in English Wikipedia. All you need to do is to click on the red in text (the name of the article you want to create) and it will lead you to an empty page with the title of your article and you would start writing. However, pls run through the names (in blue ink) on the search page and see if any article in slightly different but similar content/subject have been created. If they already existed, you that is no point for you to create the article, but just add additional sourced info into it. Either an article goes through Article for Creation (AfC) or New Page process, they still need to go through review. The different is there is a process where by the reviewer would provide feedback/comment either via automated message or personalized comments or both of why the draft article is declined, what are needed to turn the draft page into an article in Wikipedia main page. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm requesting this be re-reviewed. I have edited the text to remove the corporate speak and excessive corporate linking. I have tried to verify the notability of the company via multiple sources and have linked the page with various existing pages that demonstrate notability.

- Draft:Michael Elias (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Eliasm920 (talk) 05:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for your review. When you say the article is " not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia" do you mean there is not enough reference coverage out there for Michael Elias? thank you

@Eliasm920: That is correct. The sources cited that are independent and reliable (People, Variety, Playbill) do not contain a significant depth of information about Elias, so he doesn't meet the criteria for an encyclopedia article. You may wish to explore alternative outlets for what you've written, such as FamilySearch, which has different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:03, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys! Thanks for taking the time to review my drafted page and for the feedback. The page was rejected for lack of notability (I think). I'm wondering how and if I can go about improving the quality of the page to bring it to a level worthy of publication. Thanks for your help!

Besides notability, the reviewer also left a comment:

Please also see WP:PROMO.

I strongly encourage you to read it since your article is not written in a neutral point of view and seemed to be promoting a subject. More instructions left on your talk page.

@Chrismacrae: The problems with your article are fully explained here. It sounds as though you have not grasped the basics of Wikipedia as yet, possibly because you've had such a long gap in editing. If you don't understand the process, you need to read the guidelines. Deb (talk) 08:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

22:45:46, 7 January 2019 review of submission by Sailod

Sailod (talk · contribs) ^(TB)

I created my first page after making updates to a few others. I updated the Pearson Yachts page to add all the models and I wanted to create a new page for a model that does not have a page. It was rejected - I made three references to the information, one is written documentation from the defunct builder (company is long gone but the documentation has been scanned) and the other is written documentation which has been scanned in from the deceased designer. You can't get much more valid source of information than the builder and designer of the boat. The third reference is from an independent specifications site that is used on many other sailboat wikipedia pages. I do not have a lot of time to become a wikipedia expert but I would like to be able to make contributions as I like the philosophy and I have a good background in computer data. But if the site does not want my contributions I have plenty of other websites waiting. Sailod (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sailod. The draft cites valid sources of information; that isn't the trouble. The draft doesn't show evidence of significant coverage of the model in independent, secondary sources (the builder and designer are not independent of their product). Without such coverage, the product does not clear the bar of notability, so Wikipedia should not have a separate article on the model. Some information about the model could be included in Pearson Yachts. At the very least, the three sources you mention could be cited there. If sufficient independent sources are found later, then the topic can be spun out to into its own article. Meanwhile, there are many substandard articles that you could improve. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks, I think I have a better understanding regarding independent sources. I have added three more independent references. Sailod (talk) 13:36, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added some references to "forum" data and I understand they are not reliable sources so I removed them. I am about to give up on being a Wikipedia donor but... one last point I am confused on. The feedback on my new page says that we do not need a separate article on this model and that the page for Pearson Yachts is good enough. That seems to miss the whole point of this new page - that each model of Pearson Sailboat has its own unique rig specifications -- which is the encyclopedic type of information that I am trying to document. That is why there is not much text to this page - most of the content is specifications in a format used by Wikipedia for boat specs. Each model has its own rig specifications - hence its own wiki page. So that begs the question - why do we need "more coverage" to document rig specs for each model? (See examples of all the models of C&C Yachts). They are defined by the manufacturer and we have verifiable references on it from both (1) the manufacturer and (2) an independent source: Pearson Yachts documentation and sailboatdata.com. Perhaps I should be communicating with someone from WikiProject Sailing??? Sailod (talk) 16:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Ish ShaBazz (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I don’t know how to reply to the reviewer in the article, so I am requesting help here. The reviewer doesn't find the individual to be of notable interest, but a leading role in a significant documentary known by the tech community and the public is quite notable. The references I have included back up that Ish ShaBazz was in the movie App: The Human Story.

The guide states "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable", which I have done with numerous third-party sources.

Additionally, "Significant coverage… does not need to be the main topic of the source material”, but you’ll find the references I provided actually correspond to the points made in my draft.

Also, the guidelines say “There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected” - I have provided plenty of sources, although the reviewer states, ”Not enough references to indicate this person is notable.”

I have also included links to various news sites that have mentioned the work of Ish ShaBazz and that he was in the movie, as his career is significant to a bio about him. I just added a link to Tech Insider too, where Ish's opinion was called upon, and his opinion was also called upon by The Verge in their Circuit Breaker video, which shows that he's a source often called on by the media for his expertise as an app developer and a tech commentator as well. Ish is very well known in the tech community and is of notable interest on Wikipedia.

A similar page to this one is that of Marco Arment, who is also a software engineer and a peer in the industry.

Heidi Helen (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Heidi Helen. No, being one of the subjects of a documentary does not meet the basic or additional criteria for notability of an app developer. Nor does having his opinion called upon. The reviewer correctly assessed the draft as failing to demonstrate notability (and containing information unsupported by reliable sources). The cited sources are a mix of trivial mentions and primary source interviews, none of which help to show notability. That you haven't realized this, is just one of the reasons that conflict of interest editing is a really terrible idea. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Worldbruce

Hey, be nice. Yes, when I created the page, I discovered I had to give disclosure I am close to the subject, which I did. However, I linked to independent sources for every point that was made. I am not sure why passing references are not allowed to be used as a source to reference someone is an iOS developer, for instance. If the article says he is an iOS developer, why can’t that be used as a reference that he is an iOS developer? What would it take for the subject to be considered notable? Is it more secondary sources that are not primary interviews? --Heidi Helen 13:12, 9 January 2019 (GMT+10:30) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.63.82.101 (talk)

To be notable, they would need to meet the criteria of WP:BIO, which they do not. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Hemdee Kiwanuka (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

To who it may concern,

My creation was reject due to Conflict of interest I would like you to please reconsider this decision. Due to my last name it may seem that I might be related to Hemdee Kiwanuka, but that is far from the truth, I am just a fan of anyone with the name Kiwanuka. As a Ugandan, the name Kiwanuka means so much, it identify what tribe and clan you belong to, but it doesn't mean that I am related Hemdee Kiwanuka. Below are other Kiwanukas that I am not related too, but as I was searching on Rachel Kiwanuka rachel k singer and Halima Namakula Halima Namakula, I realized that Hemdee Kiwanuka doesn't have a page so I read/researched and created one for him as a fan of the Kiwanuka family.

There is also the singer Michael Kiwanuka, business woman Kiwanuka, Maria and football player Mathias Kiwanuka... I reference all this people with the same last name as mine, not to undermine your opinion, but to show you that we are not so many Ugandans highlighted, so when a few makes it, the entire country gets to know about it, so we follow each other very closely.

Instead of rejecting my article, I humbly request you to please help me get it better so I can also continue creating articles here. Could you please Re-Review the article... It was declined due to Notability of Hemdee Kiwanuka's credentials as an actor/producer and concert promoter, so I deleted the acting and concert credentials and only kept Film and Television Producer because Hemdee Kiwanuka had more articles written about him.

Leah Kiwanuka (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend you continue improving the article in draft space and then have another try at submitting it. Concentrate on finding independent references - see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Deb (talk) 08:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Remsleep42. I've left a basket of links on your talk page that may help you regroup. Informal guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Go say that professional 4-dans (4P) and above are notable.

Hi Leon V12. There are no subject-specific notability guidelines for non-Olympic snowboarders. So accomplishments (winning such-and-such competition) cannot demonstrate notability. The only way to show notability would be with multiple, independent, reliable sources that contain significant coverage of him (think magazine and newspaper articles or books about him).

Firstly you have a conflict of interest which you will need to declare on your user page. Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by reliable sources so that information can be verified.

We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject.If there are no such sources then we cannot have an article. Theroadislong (talk) 14:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My draft was rejected on basis that the person about whom the article is written (Brian Nhira) is, "not independently notable from the Voice" (AngusWOOF, 2018). I would love to know if it is inappropriate for me to use The Voice as one of the sources because Brian Nhira was part of the Voice contestants for season 10. Thank you for your kind response. Lwazilwenkosi Mpofu (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not inappropriate, but the reviewer feels you should have additional sources to show that he is well known for things other than The Voice. Deb (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Research Administrators Certification Council (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This is very frustrating. I have worked very hard to address *all* past advice given to me to cite available literature on this topic, including many hours of research and revision. I have referenced every possible literature source that is available. It's rather interesting that there is an allowed page for one of the exams referenced in the draft of this page (the CRA exam), but the actual body that created the exam is not allowed to be included as an article. I would love some feedback to help, if possible. There are certainly less "notable" topics than this on Wikipedia, and thousands of people have certified with these exams. Thank you for your time, I would appreciate any advice.

Amgray19 (talk) 19:01, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It reads more like the organisation's website than an encyclopedia article. "The certifications carry numerous benefits to those who hold them" is rather promotional for instance and the "Board of Directors" section is pointless and not notable enough to mention.

Hi! Would it be possible to get some specific feedback to improve this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:5050x2020 ?

I modelled the formatting of the article on articles about similar campaigns and hashtags that straddle the social media and irl worlds, and describe impactful international campaigns for social change (MeToo, the Ice Bucket Challenge, YesAllWomen etc).

The note says that articles “should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources”. The article contains 40+ references, sourced from leading media outlets (such as the New York Times, the LA Times, The Guardian, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter), and government agencies in several countries.

The note also mentions refraining from “peacock language”. Would you mind clarifying and specifying what should be edited? The article currently doesn’t contain any adjectives or descriptive terms (I’ve refrained from using terms such as “leading”, “major”, “renowned”, etc). It reports facts in a neutral tone, all backed up with independent, published sources.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! Petra PetraPetraK (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC) PetraPetraK (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:What Are the Oddz? (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I was told that it was rejected due to the sources and such being from youtube links and the artist's own website, but the issue is the artist is a more obscure one and, thus, does very few interviews and very few articles are made about him in the news and on music related sites and such, so there are literally no other sources to use. Furthermore, i believe the sources are reliable since they are verified websites and youtube links from the musician themself and not some fan account or anything :)

Article was rejected on the basis of WP:NCORP, but has 12 sources, all from credible, reliable, third party sources. Additionally, business has three characteristics that make it inherently notable aside from its media coverage: - unicorn status ($1B valuation) - 20% market share across US and Canada - part of the American-Armenian commercial agreement.

When article was rejected, the reviewer also questioned whether I am a paid contributor - I am not (and my contributions reflect this), and am pursuing the publication of this article because it is a notable company in a large market that is making large economic impact in two major countries.

CoffeeCowboy (talk) 21:11, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CoffeeCowboy. The draft fails to show that the subject is notable. The only independent, reliable source with anything approaching significant coverage is Hypebeast. Throw away the other references, they poison the draft. Then find at least two more sources at least as good as Hypebeast. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources has suggestions on where to look. You want at least several paragraphs about Jerry, not just a passing mention that credits him as producer.

If you can't find such in-depth sources, then it may be too soon for a Wikipedia biography. In that case all you could do would be to wait for more to be written, or choose a different topic to write about, because no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:52, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
