02:47:37, 18 February 2019 review of submission by Katherinefordrussell

[edit]


Hi. Thank you for the review. Sadly, this submission was rejected. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated for improving the article. Was it quality of references, notoriety, something else? Thanks, in advance, for your comments. Katherinefordrussell (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The rejection appears to be a software bug particular to that reviewer. We are testing that now. The subject is borderline notable. I'm not willing to approve the page but I suggest that, since afc is optional, you go ahead and move it to mainspace yourself and see if anyone feels strongly about trying to delete it.

09:20:04, 18 February 2019 review of draft by Owlsia

[edit]


Hello fellow Wikipedians, I'm trying to put this article about XLN Audio together but have run into some issues in finding sources that fulfill the WP:NCORP requirements. I found it odd that there was no Wiki article about XLN as their name and products keeps appearing in interviews with both world-leading songwriters and reviews/product articles in magazines about music plugins. If anyone can help me find some reliable sources on them it would be highly appreciated (this is my first article and I would really like to get it up and running so any advice would be much appreciated).

Thank you in advance!

WP:NCORP is super hard to meet. Many editors even reject public companies ignoring WP:LISTED. Legacypac (talk) 09:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Legacypac

Thank you for the quick reply, is there anything I can do to make my article fulfill the requirements? It feels really bad to give it up as I've already put a lot of work into it by collecting sources and info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Owlsia (talk • contribs) 09:59, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 11:16:04, 18 February 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by IanOverington

[edit]


After spending a long time reading through many pages of 'instructions' for Wikipedia, I am still unclear as to what it is that I contravened in my offering at the beginning of January. The whole purpose of my submission was to answer a statement in the paragraph under Hyperacuity which claims that how the human visual system achieves this is still awaiting discovery. As far as I am concerned I answered this and much more in my book of 1992, to which I refer for many details. If I am not allowed to answer the implied question, how is that ever going to be answered? IanOverington (talk) 11:16, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I was being rejected many many times and i keep make amendment and revision on it, however, wiki rejected my submission again. I am writing for a HK government department (Department of Health) and introduce their mascot (Lazy Lion) to everyone. Lazy Lion is a negative example and we hope every can do more exercise or physical activiies with the encouragement of the mascot. We are not making advertising and please accepy our sor a quickubmission

Adbrownies (talk) 12:25, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Adbrownies You misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia. It is not for advertising or raising awareness it is for summarizing what WP:Reliable Sources already say about a topic. Something that is part of a larger topic like the UK Department of Health can be included in the article about the larger topic with a lot less sourcing. You don't need to show Lazy Lion is independantly notable if yiu include it as an initutive of a notable government department. Legacypac (talk) 19:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me some advices? I have been rejected by different users of wiki many times, and the reasons are different each time. I have no idea on how to create a "apprpovalable" article. All the data and content in my article are correct and I gave source, reference & news coverage support

Thanks!

I'm trying to create an article about the founder of Avid Technology, William J. Warner and it's been rejected 3 times. Is there any way that someone could give me some advice on how to make a bio page right and not make mistakes? Neelyryan95 (talk) 14:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NBIO. Your article also doesn't have enough information and content. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 14:13, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Folks

This is why I don't waste time editing Wikipedia pages, except for obvious errors in my area of professional specialization, such as this one. I write as one with authority, having taught the subject at the University level for 40+ years.

The original piece is patently wrong, and did not cite any sources in the Introduction. If it would be sufficient, I would cite a page number from Stansfield's "Handbook of Genetics," I think in its eighth edition and used elsewhere in Wikipedia, as authority for 'Haploinsufficiency' broadly. The article could cite Stansfield for Haploinsufficiency, Haplosufficiency, and Dominance. I haven't looked lately, but I had the same problem many years ago with Wikipedia's treatment of "dominance" as a relationship between phenotypes, rather than alleles, despite citation of Stansfield (which the reviewer insisted was wrong).

Steve Carr PhD (Genetics), UC Berkeley '83

You have drafted a change to the article Haploinsufficiency you don't need to draft it you can edit the article directly as long as you have suitable sources. The lede section of an article does not require sourcing as it's merely a summary of the text in the body of the article. Theroadislong (talk) 18:27, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi,

I am submitting the page of a Stunt rider whom I admire and follow. I a not being paid or provided any other advantage to create this article it's simply an attempt to make him known to more people as he is surely growing in work and getting famous day by day.

Aniketnadkar29 (talk) 18:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aniketnadkar29. Wikipedia is not the place to "get the word out" about anything. When something it described as "emerging", it is almost certainly not a suitable topic for the encyclopedia, which only covers subjects of which the world at large has already taken significant notice over a period of time. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

19:20:38, 18 February 2019 review of draft by BillMcVay

[edit]


Greetings, I am working on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alantez_Fox and it keeps getting rejected and I am not fully sure why. The first time it was due to a lack of noteworthiness even though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Boxing clearly shows that Mr. Fox does qualify under Wikipedia's own standards. I added more "notable" references and it was again rejected due to not meeting the minimum standard for inline citation. I am not exactly sure what the issue is and I am certainly not an expert on creating Wikipedia pages, but if someone could actually assist instead of just rejecting and moving on that would be helpful. I would like to also add a legal headshot to the page, but I haven't found anyone willing to help with that aspect either. Thank you for your assistance.

BillMcVay (talk) 19:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:BillMcVay for biographies of living people you have to put references next to the material they support. Legacypac (talk) 04:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:35:54, 18 February 2019 review of submission by Adkbay

[edit]


Hi,

I'll be honest, I'm not sure why this was rejected. While the original article was removed for lack of notability because it frequently referenced NeoGAF (the site that was enveloped in scandal and thus spawned ResetEra), the revised version had far more sources outlining news organizations and the like that frequently cite ResetEra as a source. There are a large amount of pages on Wikipedia that consist of only a few lines of content without sourcing, and this feels like some sort of bias on the part of the reviewer(s) as to why this article cannot be published.

ResetEra has far overlapped NeoGAF as a source for gaming news over the past year, and yet NeoGAF still maintains their wiki page despite there being any notability over that same time frame.

Please reconsider your rejection, as the conditions to meet notability seem to be completely subjective in this case, and I do not understand how this does not meet an objective standard of notability, based on similar pages with respect to video gaming news.

Thank you.

Hell, look at the history. We have people actively looking to vandalize our pages.

@Adkbay: Thank you for your response on your talk page. It seems less than full and frank with regard to your conflict of interest, given your use above of "we" and "our pages".
Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines does not mean they are welcome. It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best, such as 4chan, or second best, such as Ars Technica, Halo.Bungie.Org, ScienTOMogy, or Yelp.
Better yet, follow, and argue from, policies and guidelines, such as WP:NWEB. You could try to get advice that is more subject-domain-specific by asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Websites or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
