05:29:45, 8 September 2020 review of submission by 012csthesis[edit]


May i know why was my article was declined?

012csthesis (talk) 05:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@012csthesis: Because it was highely promotional and copied from the organisation website. Please never copy stuff you found on the internet onto Wikipedia. Even if we could resolve the legal part, 99% of the texts found on the internet are not siutable for Wikipedia. Please use your own words.

07:13:09, 8 September 2020 review of submission by 117.6.94.195[edit]

should I add more references in order to maintain my article?

117.6.94.195 (talk) 07:13, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

please kindly help me on maintaining the notability problem in my article. thanks. Trangtrini (talk) 07:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trangtrini Your draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It does not appear that Moon Bin meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable singer. 331dot (talk) 07:25, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
how to improve that article? I will start over again after receiving your advice. thanks Trangtrini (talk) 07:43, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Trangtrini If you have additional comment, please edit this existing section, instead of creating new sections. I'm sorry, but you will only be wasting your own time and that of others if you continue to pursue this. No amount of editing can change the fact that this person does not meet the definition of a notable singer. You are welcome to edit other areas of the encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:29:31, 8 September 2020 review of submission by GetBlock[edit]

Hello! I would like to understand which changes gave to be made, so the page would be published? GetBlock (talk) 10:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Olivia Kenney at GetBlock company: (Note:Changed the username after rename, the original name was GetBlock) You have to start from scratch anyway, so I recommend having a look at User:Ian.thomson/Howto. Howewer, before you hit the save button one more time read WP:PAID and make the required disclosure. This is a Terms of Use requirement (Section 4) and not negotiable.

10:38:41, 8 September 2020 review of submission by Trangtrini[edit]

can you show the difference between my article to the random article I randomly found here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Moon_(singer) - sorry I just wanna figure it out how to work out with this submission thing.

Should I remove group activities/ keep only individual song/activities to make it looks independent comparing to the group page?

Trangtrini (talk) 10:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Trangtrini: Please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Wikipedia is a volunteer-driven project, and its possible for unsiutable articles to go undetected, even for years. I can't read korean, so I am unable to give an assentment of that article's inclusion. Please note that imdb.com and tumblr are commonly regarded as unreliable. The same thing goes for other user-generated content such as any social network and most youtube videos. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:46, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:49:49, 8 September 2020 review of draft by Laksisi1997[edit]


I keep getting rejected even after I put references out. Reviewers are implying that I'm getting paid for this and I'm certainly not. How to write articles that get approved ?

Laksisi1997 (talk) 11:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Use sources that are considered reliable. Note that the Daily Mirror is sometimes considered unreliable.

As current wriiten, the draft doesnt indicate how WP:NCORP is met. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:34, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Victor Schmidt: In the table, you've confused the Daily Mirror (British tabloid) with The Daily Mirror (Sri Lankan broadsheet). The Daily FT and Sunday Observer, of which you are unsure, are other newspapers as reliable as Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Welt, etc. for the sorts of things that newspapers are usually reliable for. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:04, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ooops... Corrected. Howewer, this still doesnt change anything in terms of notability. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:16:15, 8 September 2020 review of submission by SouthernCharm10![edit]

Hello, I am here with a few questions that I would like to see if I can get some help on. I recently had one of my submissions be rejected due to the submission not following Wikipedia guidelines. I went to the article that contained the guidelines and it seemed to me that I had no broke any guidelines or used my submission in a harmful way. If you can help me adjust my submission in any way it would greatly be appreciated. SouthernCharm10! (talk) 15:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was a blatant advert " serves its community by offering quality educational programs and services that meet the ever-changing demands of business". Theroadislong (talk) 15:23, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

21:41:18, 8 September 2020 review of draft by Rileypk97[edit]


My article has been submitted a few times and is denied every time. I have only used blogs and articles from secondary sources and only state facts about the nonprofit. Reviewers have said that my draft is too much like an advertisement but yet i am only including information from my secondary sources. here is my draft if you have a moment please check it out: MidwayUSA Foundation I'm not sure what else to do, i have even looked at pages such as St Jude Children's Research Hospital which is a very well known nonprofit and their wiki page is full of primary sources straight from their website, and it's full of opinions which i thought arent supposed to be on wiki pages?

Thanks for your time, --Rileypk97 (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rileypk97 (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rileypk97 The draft needs to do more than just tell about the organization. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization(please review). Almost all of your sources seem to be press release-type stories or announcements of routine business. These are not acceptable for establishing notability. Note that we judge each draft on its own merits- problems in other similar articles does not mean that problems in yours can be tolerated; see other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project, it is possible to get inappropriate content by us. We can only address what we know about. That said, primary sources are not forbidden- they simply cannot be used to establish notability. 331dot (talk) 08:17, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
