Rajmohanaushik, provide sources in the article as the previous reviewers have requested. As it stands there are zero. Slywriter (talk) 01:38, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scribes52 (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My original draft contained a paragraph where I unwittingly let personal emotion through with the wording "Sadly, ...". I have now changed that into an entirely factual account. I have also read through the entire draft to try to ensure that everything is factual, unemotional, and supported by numerous references. If it is felt that anything still needs attention I would be pleased to do that and would appreciate specific pointers to the paragraphs concerned.

Hello, I see you declined my draft for this page stating that 3 sources are from the same website. This shows that you didn't actually check the sources. Yes 3 sources I referenced are from the same website and it's because it's an archive for old newspapers in Iceland. They are all different if you actually check the link. The 4th source is an open report from the Icelandic safety transportation board with help from the NTSB and Sikorsky aircraft. Kind Regards. Örverpi (talk) 16:10, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Örverpi I'm fairly sure the reviewer looked at the sources. Instead of citing the website which hosts the newspaper articles, you should cite the articles themselves, just as if you found them in a physical library(you wouldn't cite the library, you would cite the newspaper. It's the same with an online archive). 331dot (talk) 08:15, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:42:09, 11 February 2023 review of draft by Mlsmith1962[edit]


Hello - I have made edits to the article based on feedback received in the initial review. I have seen references to adding audio materials, and found an interview between the songwriter and one of the artists who has covered the song on youtube, that provides additional information on the writing of the song. I have two questions. Can I include the interview as a link in the interest of including audio information about the song? Or would it be preferable to create a background section citing the interview as a reference? Thank you! Mlsmith1962 (talk) 16:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mlsmith1962 Note that interviews do not establish notability, which is mainly what this process is concerned with, because it is the person speaking about themselves or their own work, and Wikipedia is primarily interested in what independent reliable sources say about a topic. You can certainly include an interview, but it doesn't contribute to notability. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GXRG You edited your user page, which is not article space, but a place to tell about yourself as a Wikipedia editor only. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. Please read the autobiography policy. If you still want to attempt it, please use WP:AFC. 331dot (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't get why you would ever deny my religion like that. What's the reason?

66.119.24.210 (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No one is denying your religion, but for it to merit a Wikipedia article, independent reliable sources must choose on their own to write about it, establishing that it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. Once you have a few million followers and the news takes note of your religion, then come back. I suggest you use social media to tell the world about your religion. 331dot (talk) 20:56, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
