Hi Mouli Sharma (2003)! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bobby Cohn was:
Good start but a lot of unattributed quotes, large sections that go uncited, and referencing and repairs that are required.
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.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Maruti Movement and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Thank you for the review, I see now that you must have got the impression from this article that the photographs were copyvios, seeing as the user & uploader were the same. I assure you that all photographs are my own, & I intend to add more from many more protests to commons anyway, & the posters are public releases meant for circulation. In fact, I don't even know what copyright license they fall under because the truth is they're simply not copyrighted media. This is an option I find quite strangely missing from commons.
The reason why I submitted it without fixing the two major issues mentioned (I was well aware of them) is because I was getting burnt out of working on the article, & a friend of mine (who does NOT edit, to be fair) chastised me for trying to do it all myself. "That's not wikipedia is meant to work!" he told me, "It's not supposed to be a one man's job. Don't refuse help when it's there," & I thought of all the articles I've helped clean up before (the bitter, eternal question of the rejectee: how do they get approved?) & became convinced he was probably right. Is he? I don't know. I don't think so.
I'll add the quote attributions & more citations & resubmit, please let me know if there are more specific changes that you'd like me to make before I do (resubmit). Thank you for the review though. I also wanted to address the issue of objectivity, since I've obviously been to the protests (those photographs aren't going to take themselves). Please do highlight any points that feel WP:COI or peacocky. Mouli Sharma (2003) (talk) 08:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Mouli Sharma (2003)!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm Patar knight. I noticed that you have been adding short descriptions to articles. However, the short descriptions you added are too long to be effective, such as at International Commission on Mathematical Instruction. The guideline is that short descriptions should ideally be under 40 characters long, and no longer than needed. For more information, see the short description guidelines. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
