04:20:17, 2 October 2020 review of submission by Saroj k86[edit]

Saroj k86, Traditionally a help desk is a place where questions are asked and then answered. Perhaps we might start with your question, please? Fiddle Faddle 07:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Saroj k86, I had not expected the question to be asked on my talk page, but I have given you advice there.
Asking on one editor's talk page relies on their being online to give you an answer. Asking it here receives the wisdom of those who patrol this page who feel they have something to add Fiddle Faddle 12:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Timtrent, Sorry, Thank you for your advice.

It shouldn't be rejected subject is so popular

JJMhonest 2020, For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 07:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:15:53, 2 October 2020 review of draft by Liz Lambert[edit]


Good morning,

apparently my contribution cannot be published because there are not many references. However, there are no sources that I could indicate. The information in the article is first-hand, i.e. the person or institute has given it to me.

So what can I do to make sure that the article is published anyway?

I thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Liz

Liz Lambert do please take a good look at the specific notability criteria for academics for further guidance. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:24, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why it is written in english not in hindi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jitendra Srivastava Kumar (talk • contribs) 14:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jitendra Srivastava Kumar: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We are writing in english here, because this is the english Wikipedia. If you are interested, a Wikipedia in hindi is available at hi.wikipedia.org and it has currently a total of 55 articles. Since I assume this is about Draft:Kumar Jitendra, I add Help:Your first article, a guideline for your first article. Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:15, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

20:29:33, 2 October 2020 review of draft by Michfen[edit]


I have been battling with this problem for a while and have no idea how to fix it. When I view the Wiki page in Edit source, it looks perfect with all the references appearing under the heading References, where they should be. But when you Read it on the Wiki page, the references appear under External Links i.e. in the completely wrong place. Please help or advise how to fix this.Michfen (talk) 20:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michfen (talk) 20:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michfen, see how it is cured
However it is more usual to place citations directly at the fact they are intended to verify Fiddle Faddle 21:01, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
