Jibba

Hi, thank you for your article on Jibba.

I've added a nomination for it to appear in the "Did you know ..." section of Wikipedia's front page. The blurbs follow the pattern of "Did you know that ... [interesting fact about jibba]?". If you have any good ideas for an interesting blurb, you can comment at Template:Did you know nominations/Jibba.

DYK for Jibba

On 29 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jibba, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the jibba (pictured), a Sudanese coat, symbolised a dedication to a religious way of life and denoted the military rank of the wearer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jibba. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jibba), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jenny Okun (November 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drmies was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Article is not neutral enough (too resume-like), particularly at the end, without proper secondary sourcing. Artnet, BFI, etc., those are not really acceptable, and links like this aren't OK either--and in this article the link seems to be to copyrighted content, which is why I'm not even giving the full link. This needs a serious overhaul, not a few tweaks.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Hi Drmies, Thank you for your suggestions here! I don't have a lot of Wikipedia editing experience, so your feedback is very helpful. I was wondering if you could explain why the Artnet / BFI sources are unsuitable. I understand them to be secondary sources as they relate to information originally presented elsewhere. Finally, could you draw my attention to the source which appears copyrighted, the link you have included doesn't seem to match up to any of those I included. Thanks again! ErThomas1 (talk) 15:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies ErThomas1 (talk) 15:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a secondary source: BFI, the British Film Institute, is not a book or magazine or whatever. It is an organizational platform which hosts or hosted videos. Artnet is a record of art sales, and it hosts resumes, such as the page you linked. No, they are not secondary sources; please see Secondary source. The Kashya Hildebrand page you linked (and which I should have removed the first time--I will do so now) seems to copy the text of an article originally published in Metropolis. You can cite that article, if you like, but you can't link to a page that simply copies the text, and if you cite it, you need to cite the original publication. It is entirely possible that the person is notable by our standards, but writing a biographical article is going to take a bit more effort than copying a resume, which I think is what happened here. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jenny Okun (April 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Jeromeenriquez were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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 people). 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.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
