why my article was declined Pishai Allan Muchauraya (talk) 14:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pishai Allan Muchauraya Your article was a call for investment. It is not an encyclopedia article and is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. This is the wrong platform. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Phoenix-anna/sandbox/Hexagon_Qualcomm

I received feedback that my article was too informal and a link that took me to two options: summary style and inverted pyramid style. I would like clarification on what are the issues with the style. HOw is it "informal"? Should it be converted to one of the two options - summary style or informal style? If so, which one?

This article is intended to be a replacement for the existing article on Qualcomm Hexagon

You can edit the actual article here Qualcomm Hexagon we don't "replace" articles. Theroadislong (talk) 15:18, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have Written article on a journalist who is famous and well known and is only Bollywood beat Journalist of Jammu and Kashmir. I have also attached links but unfortunately got rejected after submission. Kindly help


Kashmir987 (talk) 15:04, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmir987: You need multiple independent sources to demonstrate notability. The few references there now all appear to be copies of the same article. There isn't anything there now that suggests the subject is notable enough. The draft has been tagged for speedy deletion (not by me). TechnoTalk (talk) 23:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

16:33:28, 15 January 2021 review of draft by Edward Myer

[edit]


Rejection of article and constantly being solicited by reviewers that they can make my for the Draft:Bruse_Wane live if I Pay. I have be constantly contacted by editors assuming I'm the artist I have written about at the e-mail associated with my account. These editors, reviewers, gatekeeps etc on wikipedia keep telling me to pay and they can get the draft for Bruse_Wane rapper approved. It has come to my attention wikipedia is a for profit tool, and scam house for editors. People that deserve to be on here won't be added unless they pay. Wikipedia is not legitimate. It's assume that wikipedia have become one big for profit scam house. I will do my unrelenting best to let the world know about this for buy shame wikipedia has become especially when relating to Hip Hop artist article submissions.

Edward Myer (talk) 16:33, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do give the names of reviewers who have solicited you please. Theroadislong (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Edward Myer Wikipedia does not charge or require payment for article creation or the acceptance of a draft. Third parties might offer paid editing as a service, and solicit people with it, but that is something that they do on their own without any official sanction. Those third parties can make no guarantees(such as writing an article that will not be deleted). 331dot (talk) 16:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Edward Myer, be wary of the following: Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Scam warning. Per Theroadislong, would you know the names of the editors who have contacted you? Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 16:54, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but your draft was blatantly promotional in nature. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

17:14:34, 15 January 2021 review of submission by Rocleon

[edit]

My article was declined. It tells it doesn't ave reliable sources. what reliable sources do I have to add. can anyone tell me that? Rocleon (talk) 17:14, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rocleon A subject merits a Wikipedia article if independent relible sources with significant coverage choose on their own to write about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability.(more specifically a notable company or a notable website) Reliable sources have a reputation of fact checking and editorial control. "Independent" means that press releases, brief mentions, announcements of routine business transactions, staff interviews, the company website, and other primary sources, are not acceptable for establishing notability. If Ayedot is not written about by independent reliable sources, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Not every subject does, even within the same field.
Please understand that Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something. If you are associated with Ayedot, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you may be required to make. 331dot (talk) 17:23, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I checked wikipedia and very worst articles exist then our article, our article has proof and links so why you reject always?

WP:OSE Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Historyisnotajoke (edit conflict) If there are articles "worse" than what you wrote, please point them out so they can be addressed. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about- that does not mean new inappropriate content can be permitted. Please see other stuff exists for more information. If you work for this company, please read about conflict of interest and paid editing.
Your draft has no independent reliable sources to support its content and tell why this company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 17:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a basic wiki for my friend who is a twitch streamer, please publish! Pcarlson99 (talk) 18:12, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pcarlson99 In this context, one does not "create a wiki", as a wiki is a type of entire website of which Wikipedia is one example. You attempted to create a Wikipedia article. However, Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about someone. A Wikipedia article about a person summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. I'm guessing that there is no news coverage of your friend, or books written about them, or some such. If you just want to tell the world about this person, you should use social media or some alternative forum where that is permitted. 331dot (talk) 18:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

23:16:50, 15 January 2021 review of submission by DanielkHartness

[edit]


Hey There! My article, Draft:June Foster, was rejected because I "they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people)". While I was creating the article, I was really trying to follow those guidelines. To aid me, I referred to the pages of other authors, Celia Friedman and Bob Goff. I tried to model my article format off of theirs. I noticed on Friedman's page, an interview or two was cited, which lead me to linking to several different ones for June Foster. She's given near a dozen. Would those not be considered independent? I figured those might be considered objective coverage and unbiased in a sense. I also gave little biographical info, just trying to stick with her career, what she's known for, so it would be as objective as possible. I'm really not sure what other sources to use. I linked to sites showing her awards, books, and interviews, so I don't know exactly what I need. I felt like this article was similar enough to Celia Friedman and shows that she's an author with multiple books. Could you guys help me? I know I'm new, but I really want to contribute. I thought I found a good way with an author of several books. What source am I missing?

I was also able to find a link to her publisher, Winged Publications, would that help too?

Thanks so much and for the very quick review!

DanielkHartness (talk) 23:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielkHartness: Sorry your submission was rejected. It can be frustrating, but the issue is that the sourcing is poor, and doesn't establish the author's notability. There are a lot of other poor articles that were written when the standards were not as stringent for submission. There's an essay about this WP:OTHERSTUFF. Interviews are not considered reliable sources but they can show notability if they are notable publications. What you need are profiles of the author in independent sources, which can be used to create the biography. If you can add them, you're on your way to showing notability. If there aren't any, it's harder to show she deserves an article. Also, it's not going to change the need for proper sourcing, but you don't want to add inline external links to Amazon for all her books. See WP:EL. It becomes a spam opportunity, and gives the impression that you are trying to market her books. You want to instead source the books with coverage such as reviews in independent sources. Good luck. TechnoTalk (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@TechnoTalk: Ok thanks for the help. I've found several bios I'll use as references instead and resubmit it! I added the publisher's bio of her too, and will fix the links for the books. Could I link the books to Google books instead? Or do I need a independent review of each one?
