01:11:46, 28 December 2020 review of submission by TechNerd22

[edit]

Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to add references to infoboxes? There is some info in the infobox that is not mentioned in the rest of the article, so I want to add references to the infobox. I've tried <ref>, but it doesn't work. TechNerd22 (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The <ref> tag can be used in infoboxes. However, I do feel the need to point out WP:NSCHOOL, which suggests that the subject of this article may not be notable enough to warrant an article. The references provided are routine coverage about construction, which likely does not support notability. --Kinu t/c 01:36, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. You offer no independent reliable sources with coverage of the subject. 331dot (talk) 08:23, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:11:09, 28 December 2020 review of submission by Iamjhaalok

[edit]

Hello my article is declined because the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject . I need some help with this article, because its my first one and also because i can not see whats wrong with it.

Iamjhaalok (talk) 06:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Iamjhaalok What was wrong with it was that you did not show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that the company meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. You had offered no sources other than the company website. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, but in what third parties say about it without any involvement from the subject. Please see Your First Article; you may also wish to use the new user tutorial if possible. Successfully writing a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia; you might wish to gain experience by first spending time editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for the process and what is expected of article content. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did some tweaks to the draft, hopefully, it sounds less marketing/advertorial and more factual. Culturesorbet (talk) 09:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Culturesorbet Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something like a company A Wikipedia article about a company must only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. The reviewer rejected the draft because the chances of that occurring here seem to be low.
If you are associated with this company, you must review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

ISKCON Nepal is a real Hindu temple in Nepal which is located in Kathamandu. It's saying the subject is not notable but it's wrong. ISKCON Nepal is very famous across Nepal.Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sitaramradheshyam Your reviewers want to know how/why it is independently notable of ISKCON, which already has a Wikipedia article. They suggest that you incorporate your work into a section in that article. If you want this to be a standalone article, you will need to give your reviewers good reasons why.

14:01:29, 28 December 2020 review of submission by Hiqmahempire

[edit]

I'm a poet and one of my purpose of being here is to be publishing my poems for Wikipedia readers to be benefiting from it. I've tried and make research if Wikipedia supports that but I will appreciate it if I can get the right answer here. If Wikipedia supports Poems, what are the guidelines to follow. Thanks. Hiqmahempire (talk) 14:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hiqmahempire Wikipedia is not a web host, it doesn't publish poetry or any original works. Theroadislong (talk) 14:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hiqmahempire What Theroadislong said is correct. That said, "inside humor" that is about Wikipedia can sometimes have a place outside of the "encyclopedia" part of Wikipedia. One seasonal example is Wikipedia:The Night Before Wikimas, which is a Wiki-centric riff of the old Christmas classic A Visit from St. Nicholas. Again, just to re-emphasize, this is NOT part of the encyclopedia itself. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi, I am writing a wikipedia page about aerockets created by 2 close friends of me, for the sources I have their website their youtube channel and their google business page, but I assume that the last 2 are not a good type of source? Xander710 (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Xander710 None of those are acceptable. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Sources associated with the company are not acceptable for establishing notability. 331dot (talk) 20:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Xander710: I think that it's a bit of a stretch to call a pair of model rocket enthusiasts an "aerospace manufacturer". Further, there has to be a hundred thousand model rocket enthusiasts on the planet, and we can't have an article about every one of them. Only when the subjects become notable per our General Notability Guideline would we consider publishing an article about them. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:21, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but your draft was promotional in nature. 331dot (talk) 20:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I made a lot of improvements. I would like to know if there are additional change that I need to make. Or, is it ok to submit for publicaiton? Thank you.


Adamreinman (talk) 23:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The problem may be that the topic you are writing about is not "notable" as Wikipedia uses the term. Please read WP:Your first article for help in that area. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 23:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
