{{Lafc|username=Sociable Song|ts=00:09:07, 25 January 2020|draft=Draft:Oil_pipeline}}

The article I'm attempting to create already exists in many languages on Wikipedia. A similar English article can be created by splitting from the more general article [[Pipeline transport]]. But the edit activity on that article is quite low, even for a topic of that importance. Thus I have been waiting on the [[Talk:Pipeline transport|talk page]] for many months. I think my splitting is following the Wikipedia guidelines on notability and topic separation. In fact, that's why there are already articles for "Oil pipelines" in other languages. (Also I have no idea what this code is doing and what I'm supposed to copy-paste in the question/request help desk. Sorry.)

The draft has no sources, which means notability cannot be shown, it is also blatantly promotional "only Bangladeshi media production where media production is done with very skilled craftsmen". As such it cannot be accepted Nosebagbear (talk) 11:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy hello! Various issues remain, and may be insurmountable. The sources do not show significant coverage of HUMEN, but rather the clause 14 initiative, which is not enough by its own. The main issue, is that it is a copyright violation, and will likely be deleted. Never copy and paste material into a page from another website. The tone of the draft was also quite promotional.

Article rejected. But the information in the article is really factual based on press article very detailed which is downloaded on my wiki and that I can send to you. The trophy was created by Lord BLEDISLOE, the photo in the article is a press photo

regards patrick PatmanSA1 (talk) 15:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PatmanSA1, A single article is insufficient. You will need to find more sources. Also, I suspect the photo will be deleted as a copyright violation, as the photo is still under copyright. Images are held under copyright for 70 years after the photographer's death, and that date has not yet passed. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:31:33, 19 January 2020 review of submission by Ioujka

I know that this is a rather anomalous arcade title, as Code One Dispatch has received surprisingly low amounts of documentation, gameplay footage, or reviews from really any noteworthy sources. Regardless of this however, it is still a fully verifiable title from a major arcade game developer/publisher (Konami) and I believe it deserves more noteworthiness via sources such as Wikipedia. I played through the title circa 2004 and have personal experience of the gameplay indicated. It is also mentioned on already existing Wikipedia pages such as List_of_Konami_games in the '2000' section. Overall, I think this title is no less noteworthy than any other rare or obscure title from an accredited publisher. I think this can be said of most games from the Viper System really, which also happen to have their own Wikipedia documentation. Ioujka (talk) 11:31, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ioujka: Wikipedia only publishes articles for topics that have received significant coverage in sources. Criteria such as "deserves more noteworthiness" or "accredited publisher" aren't really used. If you can find more sources (preferably reviews, development history and alike) such as from those listed at WP:VG/RS, then it can be re-reviewed. But most arcades aren't really notable in Wikipedia's terms and were never covered by sources. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:37, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:15:37, 19 January 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Radarman444


I have created this article on behalf of a friend who is probably the closest living relative of John Cranch and probably the leading authority on him. My friend has found several errors in the existing "John Cranch (English Painter)" article and wishes to replace it in its entirety by a new article. It is important to him that the title is "John Cranch (Painter, Attorney and Antiquarian)" so he would like to create the new article and then delete the existing one. Radarman444 (talk) 18:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Radarman444 (talk) 18:15, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Radarman444: Hello. Please read WP:AUTOPROB for advice on how to deal with inaccuracies in an article about oneself. Any content you add to the existing article should be traceable back to a published source. Information your friend has about their relative based only on their personal experiences isn't suitable for adding to a Wikipedia article. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Radarman444: Also note that John Cranch (English painter) will not be moved to the proposed title no matter how important it is to your friend, because the proposed title violates the policy on Wikipedia:Article titles. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit to being a bit puzzled here; maybe because I'm a newbie. (a) How is "advice about inaccuracies in an article about oneself" relevant when the painter in question died 200 years ago. (b) The information about Cranch is not based only on personal experience as, again, Cranch died 200 years ago. My friend has written a learned book on Cranch and so can be seen as an authority on the man.

My apologies if I have inadvertently done the wrong thing; I'm just looking for guidance here. I think, from what you are saying, that I should just edit the original Cranch page so I'll go ahead and do that. I'm sure the change of title is not a show-stopper.

19:05:10, 19 January 2020 review of draft by Diana Gabriela Ciorba


I think I did not understand how to insert references in the article. Why do they stay invisible?

Diana Gabriela Ciorba (talk) 19:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diana Gabriela Ciorba, I've looked at the source code, and you have nothing that is invisible. If you are using the source editor, you need to insert references inline using the <ref> Your ref here </ref> . If you're using the visual editor, when you click to make a ref, make sure to also insert the ref once its been autoformatted. Make sure you add these inline, next to the statement they support, not at the end of the article. Wikipedia will automatically make a reference list at the end for you.

00:05:04, 20 January 2020 review of submission by Dlee1964


I do not understand why the article was rejected. Ali Rogers was also Miss South Carolina and 1st runner up to Miss American, just as Dawn Smith Jordan was, yet she has a link on Wikipedia. Furthermore, Dawn Smith Jordon has had a successful ministry throughout the United States for the past 30 years, where she has recorded numerous records. All of this I have added to the article, but please tell me why Ali Rogers has a topic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Rogers) yet Dawn Smith Jordan does not.

07:18:27, 20 January 2020 review of draft by Savannahdisanjh


I am wondering why I cant publish my page. I am Kirsten Clarksons executive assistant and she has asked me to create a page for her as she does not know how. This is my second article to not be approved, how can I write one about her so it can be approved?

Savannahdisanjh (talk) 07:18, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Savannahdisanjh: You have to start by finding reliable independent in-depth sources about the person. Don't just write what you know and you can't write what they tell you. It is highly discouraged that that you even attempt to write in an area where you have conflict of interest and you must disclose if you are paid to do so. From your article history, it looks like it was nothing better than advertisement, so there's a long way to go. You should take time to familiarize yourself with the minimum sources required to have an article on Wikipedia. If you can find such sources, you can start the draft again and only use such sources. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 23:16, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pat34552: English Wikipedia has different rules than other language Wikipedias. There are many similarities, but in the end we have stricter requirements than others. All the relevant links were already provided in the draft's decline text. Patent applications and passing news articles about single event are not enough. Person's own work is not enough by itself. Please do not keep recreating and resubmitting the draft, because this will only waste time for everyone. You must have additional in-depth sources about the person first, and it appears that there are no such sources available. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 23:26, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr Samuel Masih: - functionally no content with no reference other than the organisation's own website means it absolutely is in no way notable.

Request on 03:47:51, 21 January 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Severen Tezvel


I noticed UAB School of Medicine and UAB School of Dentistry have Wikipedia pages so I created a page for the UAB School of Health Professions. This page was declined saying it should just be part of the main UAB page. Then I look at the University of Alabama on Wikipedia and notice they have separate pages for the College of Communication and Information Sciences, and the College of Engineering, and the College of Arts and Sciences, and probably all of their Colleges. Why are they allowed to have separate school/college pages but the UAB School of Health Professions cannot? While you consider granting us our own page like the other schools/colleges, I will work on cleaning up the outside links and any other errors. Thank you for your time and for your consideration of this request. Kind regards.

Severen Tezvel (talk) 03:47, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Severen Tezvel: Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality ones. The existence of an article does not mean it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or has been "allowed". It may only mean that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. So generally it isn't productive to compare a draft to other pages. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why.
I've merged three of the college articles into University of Alabama. That's as much clean up as I have time for now, but someone else will doubtless merge University of Alabama College of Communication and Information Sciences into the parent institution.
The essay Wikipedia:College and university article guideline contains information about what should and should not be in an article in this domain, and how best to structure it. Do what the reviewer said, discuss at Talk:University of Alabama at Birmingham whether a separate University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Health Professions is warranted. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:11, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Olivia Chyntia Devi. Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem.

12:44:18, 21 January 2020 review of submission by The Red Hussar

My article has been declined for lack of neutrality, but talking about the Neo-Nazi I dont really understand what does it mean. Any critics or support is highly welcome. Thanks, --The Red Hussar (talk) 12:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Red Hussar (talk) 12:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Red Hussar, This is an encyclopedia. We write in a neutral tone. That goes for every subject. For writing about neo-nazism, we don't need to add inflectives that say how bad it is. Our readers know that neo-nazism is quite evil. Our job is to write an article that presents the facts without commentary. That doesn't mean supporting neo-nazism, it just means that the article should read formally. At the end of the day, our articles do not take a political stance. They take a factual stance. So we talk about the rise of neo-nazism, and the numbers surrounding it, and the crimes they commit. Our readers are smart, they can infer the rest. Also, make sure that you are only saying what reliable sources say. Wikipedia only says what sources say, nothing more.
For examples of problems, it begins in the first paragraph. "a problem of Ukrainian society related to an increased level of extreme far right ideology promoting " is you taking a stance on why the issue exists. You could say "source X blames the problem on". But really the intro should read something neutral like "Neo-nazism in Ukraine covers the activities of a variety of far right groups that promote..."
"In public discussions the nationalists are rehabilitated and even glorified, their names are given to urban streets, in the honor of them monuments are erected and the national history is revised." While the individual points here are likely true, this reads like an opinion piece. Another example of wording that needs cleanup. An example cleanup might be ""The Nation" notes that Ukrainian nationalists are being increasingly rehabilitated, or even glorified. For example, various urban streets now bear the names of Nazi collaborators, and monuments have been erected to collaborators such as X." the last bit should stay off altogether, unless solid evidence is had, and the evidence, not the assertion, is presented.
I'm not going to find every example, but suffice to say that the article needs a general rewrite to ensure that it reads neutrally. Also, if you are not a native English speaker, you may wish to ask for some help in writing the article in good English. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 07:34, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you very much for your support. We first created the Wikipedia page on 6th of Jan. 2020. Then we received the message regarding the copyright infringement from Wikipedia.*

  • For one section of our texts we used texts from

https://www.poetryinternational.org/pi/site/poet/item/13889/31/Wakako-Kaku

We immediately deleted the section.

After this, we received another message from Wikipedia saying

"This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement."

This page appears to be a direct copy from https://wikitia.com/index.php?title=Wakako_Kaku&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop

It seems that this wikitia site was created after we uploaded our first text on July 6th.

Everything in our current contents is written by us in our original words and we would like to know what we should do to complete this process. We appreciate your support on this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Castor KakuWakako (talk • contribs) 01:54, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Castor KakuWakako: I did get your message, but it was the middle of the night where I live, so I have only just read it. The latest revision was deleted as being a copyright violation of the Wikia page created on 7 January, but the article here (Wakako Kaku) was not created until 14 January. The editor who tagged the article for deletion, Fram, may be able to give further insight into this. Copyright violations are one of the most misunderstood concepts on Wikipedia for new users, particularly as an administrator can delete them unilaterally and without hesitation (which they must do, for legal reasons).

Castor KakuWakako, recreating a page that's been deleted as a copyright violation, as you've done both at Draft:Wakako Kaku and at User:Castor KakuWakako/sandbox, is extremely unwise, and can lead to loss of editing privileges. There still appears to be a quite unacceptable degree of overlap with the wikitia page in both of those. Was the content in fact translated from here? If so, you must provide attribution.

My page is getting rejected even after more than 4 independent and original articles from the web. The reviewer said not many references. so i am not able to understand what is happening? it has been rejected twice and i am not getting clear understanding why it is not getting accepted Pratik jadhav111 (talk) 13:59, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pratik jadhav111, Well the page still doesn't have inline citations (see WP:ERB for help on that). Its also written like a promotional puff piece, not a formal and nuetral encyclopedia article. Wikipedia does not exist to promote its subjects. You actually only have 3 sources, as two sources are actually the same article on different websites. And the sources are not very high quality either. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:02, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FactsOnlineUS, I'm afraid that you probably shouldn't write about your friends, as that is a conflict of interest. Also, most YouTubers are not eligible for articles.

I am requesting help as I don't know specifically what I have done wrong or how i can better the article in order for it to be published. Could i please get additional help and guidance as I am confused. HP7wiki (talk) 11:15, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HP7wiki. The bulk of any article should come from sources independent of the subject. Fourteen of the draft's eighteen sources are the company's website or YouTube channel. Three more are from an organization that partnered with them. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of their topic. The draft cites only one. So you need to find at least two more, throw away the text you've written, and rewrite the draft using the independent sources.
Also, the only independent source so far, https://asianmediaawards.com/, fails verification. That page doesn't say DESIblitz.com won the Best Website Award at the UK national Asian Media Awards for 2013, 2015, and 2017. Possibly you can find a deeper link on that site that does support the claim. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:27:28, 23 January 2020 review of draft by Tlaserx


I'm requesting help because I have two questions. I am a published author in the industry that I work in. Published in multiple industry magazines that are in print. So my Wikipedia edits typically revolve around the industry as a whole. However as I understand it, Wikipedia editors need to be broader in their choices for edits? I was encouraged to speak on more topics perhaps unrelated to the industry. Is that a requirement or is that more to prove I am not a shill for a particular company?

Next, one of the articles I wanted to create was about a new device in our industry that one of the manufacturers released. It has a US patent and is currently only sold by one company. How do I source and provide reference for the article without referencing the main page where the information on the device is contained? Any advice would be very appreciated. or even a link to some good training videos maybe? Sincerely, Tom... Tlaserx (talk) 14:27, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand how to get my article from the user page where it seems to be currently to the sandbox for publication. NotTheFakeJTP wrote "We're sorry, but we cannot accept blank submissions. If in fact you did include text within the article, but it isn't showing, please make sure that any extra text above your entry is removed, as it may be causing it to hide and not be shown to the reviewer."

I do not understand what "extra text above your entry" means. The heading?? Thank you for your help!

Hi David, you rejected a page I was trying to create last month on the basis of not relevant. Recently, the group in question crossed 100,000 streams and received mention in several online articles. I believe they're as relevant as many artists with pages. Given the new information, I ask you reconsider.

Thank you so much for all you do.

Hi Jordan.miller296. If you wish to communicate with a specific editor, use some type of notification template, as described at Help:Talk pages. The draft was rejected for being not notable. The number of streams is irrelevant to notability. If they've been written about in depth by multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources, that could establish notability. But Google searches of web, news, and books for "Know Wonder" along with the name Taeleifi returns zero such sources, so there isn't much hope for the topic. If articles about other artists exist with such poor sourcing, they should be improved or deleted.
Go through Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, a list of sources Wikipedians have found useful in writing about albums and musicians. If you can show WP:THREE sources from that list, someone may be willing to reconsider the rejection. If not, try a different topic, we have over six million to choose from. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

02:47:10, 24 January 2020 review of submission by Rulercoaches

This draft was declined for person that I believe meets the requirements for Wikipedia. It was stated that it reads like an advertisement. He does not sell anything so I am not sure what it means. I removed a list of articles he has written as maybe that was the concern but there were no specific comments on what was needed. I also received a troubling message saying that I need to review PAID and COI. I read both and PAID definitely does not apply. For the COI link, that can be pretty subjective and likely determined that anyone can have a COI with creating a draft. The only connection I have is meeting him on a tour of the facility and taking a picture. Was impressed with his work so submitted an article on him. I am not sure if that amounts to the COI stated in the rules. Can you direct me to what is needed here? I need to know what else would be considered advertising and anything else needed for the draft.--Rulercoaches (talk) 02:47, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the main issue would be the potential conflict of interest which you partially addressed above. Topic does seem notable per WP:NACADEMIC due to the named chair. For WP:PAID, keep in mind that it can also qualify you even if you were not paid directly. If you are being paid by an institution and they are requiring you to do this as part of your job, that would still be considered paid. Also, if he asked you or someone else asked you to create the page that would qualify under WP:COI. Whatever the case may be, disclosure is required if it applies. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:34, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was a new user of wikipedia and i did not know how to write wikipedia article at first. But I took time, I leaned about Wikipedia, how it works and how to write good articles. Here I am with my first article about a very popular Internet company of Bangladesh.

I am sorry because I provided a few information about this company when I first wrote this article, but now I know much information about this company and I think many people will be helpful with this information. I learning how to be a good wikipedia article writer, I am trying to contribute many other article where I believe I have some expertise. Mazharul101 (talk) 05:50, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like there still are insufficient references to review the draft. Please review WP:REFB for help on finding and adding sources. Since this is a company, there is a high threshold of notability that must be demonstrated through WP:ORGCRIT. Please follow both links and provide references showing how the topic is notable. Once you are done you can resubmit or ask someone here to do it for you. Good luck. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:12:33, 24 January 2020 review of draft by Radarman444


I was asked by a leading authority on Cranch to update the Wiki article on John Cranch, English Painter. As (according to him - I have no knowledge myself) the current article contains several errors, there are several guesses masquerading as facts and much of the article has simply been abstracted from the Net, continuing the errors from those original sources, he thought it impossible to merely correct the article but felt that it needed a complete rewrite.

I have received various comments, most of them extremely unhelpful, irrelevant or wrong e.g.

@Radarman444: Hello. Please read WP:AUTOPROB for advice on how to deal with inaccuracies in an article about oneself. Any content you add to the existing article should be traceable back to a published source. Information your friend has about their relative based only on their personal experiences isn't suitable for adding to a Wikipedia article. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

<My reply>"I must admit to being a bit puzzled here; maybe because I'm a newbie. (a) How is "advice about inaccuracies in an article about oneself" relevant when the painter in question died 200 years ago. (b) The information about Cranch is not based only on personal experience as, again, Cranch died 200 years ago. My friend has written a learned book on Cranch and so can be seen as an authority on the man. Radarman444 (talk) 23:02, 19 January 2020 (UTC)" 

 The latest is from Theroadislong in response to my updating the original Cranch article -

"This content is not written in the formal tone that an encyclopedia article requires, it may contain original research and the sources are incorrectly formatted, it would be better if you made smaller incremental changes to the existing article rather than replacing it wholesale with inferior content."

Before making the edits to the article, I placed a rough preview of the article I wished to submit on the Talk page of the original article with a request for comments, objections etc as I realised that the original author might have had some concerns. Having had no feedback, I asked for guidance on what to do and, having no replies, I went ahead and published the article, properly formatted as far as I can tell. The rejection from Theroadislong seems to be referring to the rough draft rather than the final article. Either way, it contains no useful help that would enable me to correct our article if there are errors.

In my replies, I have admitted my newbie status, asked for helpful comments and tried to be polite. If I can't get any helpful comments, we will have to withdraw the new article and leave the original, erroneous, article in place. A great shame.

14:54:55, 24 January 2020 review of submission by Rebeccamchung

I need point by point guidance on which use of sources create the impression that this artist lacks notability. She is a founding member of a significant artist's movement (Cass Corridor artists). She is cofounder of most of the most signficant literary small presses of the twentieth century. She is one of be best-known regional artists in Michigan. She collected by significant institutions and her entire archive has been purchased by a world-ranked university (University of Michigan Ann-Arbor). Most recently, her work was gifted to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has hung the piece on her wall.

I'm happy to rewrite to make these points more directly. I have sources. I need point by point guidance, please, on the areas of this submission that have caused concerns.

Edugossip (talk) 16:16, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Edugossip: Wikipedia articles are different to academic essay writing. Such content usually needs to be rewritten almost completely to comply with our standards. The most important policies are no original research and no synthesis of sources. In short, you cannot draw conclusions or combine sources. For example, "Every human on the planet ought to care about providing [..]" is original research. Or "Taken together, these examples point to [..]" is synthesis. These are two things that are not only present, but encouraged in academic works, but which Wikipedia cannot accept. When citing a source, you have to include content only directly present. You also have to include all major viewpoints, which means you cannot only include sources to support a given narrative. Finally, the article has to be about a specific topic supported by multiple independent reliable in-depth sources and I am fairly certain that "Theory of self-transcendence and social change" is a title you came up with yourself. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 21:41, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

00:09:07, 25 January 2020 review of draft by Sociable Song


The article I'm attempting to create already exists in many languages on Wikipedia. A similar English article can be created by splitting from the more general article Pipeline transport. But the edit activity on that article is quite low, even for a topic of that importance. Thus I have been waiting on the talk page for many months. I think my splitting is following the Wikipedia guidelines on notability and topic separation. In fact, that's why there are already articles for "Oil pipelines" in other languages. (Also I have no idea what this code is doing and what I'm supposed to copy-paste in the question/request help desk. Sorry.) Sociable Song (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
