Stiven Mikhail[edit]

can you please help me bring this back to main space ? Ildivino1010 (talk) 06:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to submit it for review, but before that you need to address the paid editing. Theroadislong (talk) 08:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea about this paid editing. How would I even start to address it ? I'm asking for your help because I have no clue how to get this page back up. It says paid editing and non reliable sources ? National news paper is not reliable ? Can you please advise how I would go about this. I appreciate the reply Ildivino1010 (talk) 07:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
again I will continue to repeat the same messages. I AM NOT A PAID EDITOR I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAYMENT. Instead of repeating the same thing can someone help ? Ildivino1010 (talk) 09:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have said on your talk page that the person works for you, this would mean that you would be considered to be a paid editor. Theroadislong (talk) 09:35, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you understand. I am scout who works for a football club and he works for another football club. In what way am I a paid editor ? I do not get paid to make a Wikipedia page ? This is becoming very frustrating. Can you just delete the page then since no one is willing to help ? I really don't understand why you guys keep giving a hard time. Mikhail meets all criteria and yet you keep going on about paid editing which I have disclosed a million times and you keep bringing up the same thing. He does.not work for me and I am not paid to make.wikipedia edits Ildivino1010 (talk) 10:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anything else I can do ? Or can we delete ? Ildivino1010 (talk) 05:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: looks like it has been copied and pasted from somewhere? on draft wikipage on Jan Poolman[edit]

Hi Theroadislong, you commented on the draft wikipedia page on Jan Poolman that looks like it is has been copied and pasted from somewhere. This is not the case. I wrote the page myself - I prepared it in word and later in my wiki-sandbox. There are some citations in there but they are indicated by "". So if that is the only reason why you rejected the page I wonder if you can accept it after this response of me.

note that I also have written the wikipedia page in dutch - If I need to add that that is also fine with me I can do that. The Dutch version is a translation of the English version.

Please let me know what I should change to get it accepted.

The reason I thought it might have been copied and pasted from somewhere is the weird repeating of the phrase "brontekst bewerken". Theroadislong (talk) 18:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Theroadislong, ok I see your point - "brontekst bewerken" is Dutch and is there I think because I am new to this and I prepared the text in the Dutch wikipedia sandbox...and copy pasted it to the English wikipedia - it didn't catch my attention because I thought it was there because it was not published yet. I will remove those texts. And I will also work on your other comments by removing the succesfull / prolific wording. Will do so coming days and will resubmit. Thank you for reviewing the text so fast and to give me your feedback! Appreciated a lot.
best Wikicluck44 Wikicluck44 (talk) 19:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I have removed all "succesfull", prolific, the (R)s and other non-neutral wording. Could you please review again?
Best Wikicluck44 Wikicluck44 (talk) 06:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Theroadislong, I adjusted the wording into neutral wording, removed all the (R)s. Could you please review and approve to publish? Or otherwise indicate how I could improve the text so that you will approve it?
Best Wikicluck44 (talk) 07:02, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi theroadislong, thanks for checking my draft wikipage, still under construction... You commented the following:"Please don't add external links to the body of the draft, we don't use them." I am struggling a bit with this. So if I place a reference with the text - and there is a pdf or full text of it available, how can I best add the external link to the reference? Should I do this within the reference list? And I see in other wikipages a section with external links - can I create such a section and add relevant external links there? e.g. the researchgate external link shows the number of articles Jan Poolman has written but also the number of reads and citations, which give an impression whether he is indeed seen as an expert in the field of bacterial vaccines by others. Wikicluck44 (talk) 16:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes best to keep external links in a section called "External links" at the bottom of the article. Theroadislong (talk) 16:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice TheRoadIsLong - I have adapted the references and external links and resubmitted. Hopefully you can approve the article this time. Best Wikicluck44 (talk) 11:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Page[edit]

What sources would help. Rosalie is deceased and she doesn't have many sources. This is from my article on Rozalie Martinez. Smartfunnypeople (talk) 17:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but the lack of sources is a clear indication that Martinez is not notable in Wikipedia terms. Theroadislong (talk) 17:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Fibrolamellar Registry, draft page[edit]

Dear Theroadislong,

Thank you for your response regarding our Wikipedia draft page for the Fibrolamellar Registry (i.e. the Fibroregistry). We would like to clarify a couple of points regarding your description of our draft page. You say that our draft page, “reads like an advertisement”.

In fact, the page was modeled after a number of other non-profit patient advocacy groups, such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_Fibrosis_Foundation

Far less descriptions of activities and successes were included than in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation page, thinking such would sound aggrandizing. Instead the focus is on the science issues that are enabled by the work of the Fibroregistry.  Therefore, it is confusing why you would think the draft page sounds like an advertisement given the content existing in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation page.  Indeed, unlike these other groups, none of the Fibroregistry personnel are paid for their involvement, and all are either patients or care-givers: Not hired non-profit workers.

The references cited are in high-impact peer-reviewed scientific journals. These include Nature Reviews Cancer (impact factor 69.8), Cancer Discovery (impact factor 39.4), and Science Advances (impact factor 13.6), etc.  

Further, the Fibroregistry is cited as the source of valuable information in articles published in peer-reviewed science journals with high impact factors including the Nature Reviews Cancer (impact factor 69.8), Science Advances (impact factor 13.6), JCI Insight (impact factor 8), Hepatology Communications (5.7) and Cancers (impact factor 5.2).

We feel the draft page is well referenced to peer reviewed science journals, the Fibroregistry itself is highly cited in peer-reviewed science journals, and the Fibroregistry draft page is more rigorously sourced than many of the existing Wikipedia pages.

Could you please point out some of the sentences in our draft Fibroregistry page you feel are “Advertising” so we can either reword, or remove, them?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sorry but the whole draft reads just like advertising to me. Wikipedia is NOT for merely providing information. A Wikipedia article about an organisation must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about them, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organisation. Wikipedia has no interest in what you want to say about it only in what others unaffiliated with the business choose to say about it. Also see other stuff exists. You are free to resubmit and get other opinions. Theroadislong (talk) 19:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editing with reliable sources[edit]

I have failed to save my improved edits with reliable sources after the tags you put on my draft page. how can I edit and save so that I may resubmit for review when all terms and conditions are met. that is when the necessary information has been gathered for the article. thanks Stnts256 (talk) 14:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have re-submitted Draft:Jamil Kusiima and another reviewer will take a look shortly. You have very few independent sources though, his own works cannot be used to establish notability and other sources do not load for me so I cannot evaluate them. Theroadislong (talk) 15:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Bonnie Rychlak Draft Page[edit]

While I appreciate your feedback, I'm still at a loss to understand the sole criteria you are applying for notability for an artist, which is providing links to collections in public institutions. I have several problems with this criteria. First, this is the first time I'm hearing of it. It seems rather arbitrary. Second, there are literally hundreds of Wikipedia pages for artists that don't meet this standard. Perhaps not coincidentally, the majority of these are pages for male artists. I undertook the task of writing this entry based on my own assessment (as an internationally recognized and widely published art historian)of the notability of this individual. Moreover, I am answering the call of the Women Artist Project to narrow the gap between pages on Wikipedia for male and female artists. Also, Rychlak is notable for her role as both artist and curator. Her role as a leading authority on the Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi with an extensive list of exhibitions and publications alone is noteworthy. I would really like to get this entry before someone from the Women Artist Project, who I believe would be positioned to provide the best feedback on this article. Would you be able to advise as to how that could be done? Thank you. Gaw54 (talk) 23:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am part of the Women in Red Project. One of the criteria for WP:NARTIST is having works in public collections, museums etc. Rychlak meets this critera, but you had no sources to support the collections, add those and I can accept the draft. Theroadislong (talk) 05:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cindy Ji Hye Kim[edit]

Thank you very much for reviewing this page. Is there anything I can do to get the title unprotected (and approved)? Diaeinsofa (talk) 16:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It will need an admin's attention, I don't know why it was protected initially. Theroadislong (talk) 17:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Diaeinsofa I have requested it be unprotected at WP:Requests for page protection/Decrease#Cindy Ji Hye Kim. TRIS, it might be good idea for you post a note there concurring the draft is acceptable. S0091 (talk) 17:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was quick. Have at it TRIS! S0091 (talk) 17:34, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both for your help! Is there anything else I can do to move this forward? Diaeinsofa (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

Hi, sorry could you make your explanation more simple, I am not a smart person and I apologize for that. Theduckguy (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft User:Theduckguy/sandbox has zero independent, reliable sources and that is what we base articles on, content like "Thedu_ckguy is an emerging social media influencer known for his presence on various platforms including Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok." is fine on social media but this is an encyclopaedia. Once newspapers and magazines start reporting on him/you, there is the possibility of an article in the future, but not yet. Theroadislong (talk) 18:13, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

Hi there, I appreciate you look through my submission. I was just wondering could you give me some feedback and what I can do to improve my chances of my article being accepted. Is it the sources I'm using? I'm very new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Take care, Martynlukeact (talk) 09:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa Frank[edit]

At the Help Desk, you wrote "If Lisa Frank passes WP:NARTIST you could start an article ...". That's a bit confusing. If it's the same Lisa Frank, there's no need to start an article. If a different one, it's a mistake to link to her article. (I don't know whether they're the same). Maproom (talk) 09:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

India Art Festival page created by me was rejected. After that it was edited and made nutral but it was rejected again.

India Art Festival is the only art fair in India happening in four cities and founded by the people associated with oldest public institutions. The content in page supported by well known newspapers in India is not a paid content by the event. Even if Google search is done on India Art Festival, you will find thousands of entries on this public event for emerging and young artists.

I do not have aurgument on rejection as it is for wikipedia to decide but this is arbitary and unjustified rejection. India Art Festival is public event and do not need advertisement on wikipedia. RAKL85 (talk) 15:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft Draft:India Art Festival was declined not rejected, The Times of India is not considered to be a reliable source, perhpas you could find better sources? Theroadislong (talk) 15:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

As you mentioned, The Times of India is not a reliable source. I have seen 'Waluscha De Sousa' has most of the resources of The Times of India on her Wikipedia. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 07:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See other stuff exists. Theroadislong (talk) 07:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
