Request on 04:40:29, 29 April 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Manishthapa1981

I have tried my best to furnish all the details of the subject I am contributing but still it is rejected on the ground of "Reliable Sources". What are the parameters to judge your source to be "reliable" or "unreliable" especially in a country when English is not the first language and there are 80 different languages are spoken and written? Thus we will get very few sources written in English. So it is unfair in this context to label credible sources as unreliable sources" when they are the only available news sources in the country.


Manishthapa1981 (talk) 04:40, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We don't care if sources are in English or not, nor if they are online. We only care that they discuss the subject at length, have professional editorial oversight responsible for fact-checking and retractions, and have no direct connexion to the subject or their surrogates. Most of your sources fail one of those three criteria just from skimming the references list. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 04:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

11:25:16, 29 April 2021 review of draft by Yourepartofit


Hi, I've been working on compiling a list of New Jersey Record Labels and I'm having trouble understanding why this article keeps getting rejected? I thought this page does not require a rating on the project's quality scale because it falls under the scope of record labels which often times are not mentioned in articles that directly relate to them. If anyone could shed light on what Draft:Mint_400_Records is missing it would be appreciated.

Yourepartofit (talk) 11:25, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yourepartofit The reason for the rejection was given by the reviewers- that you have not provided independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the label, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. The quality scale is not relevant to that- a low quality article may be accepted as long as the sources are adequate. 331dot (talk) 15:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you take one of two approaches:
  1. Don't write it at all. I see it is empty now, Abandon it and request that the article be created at Wikipedia:Requested articles
  2. Write the best draft you are able
This is not the place to request that someone writes a draft for you FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 09:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

23:02:02, 29 April 2021 review of submission by Delbarital

Delbarital (talk) 23:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on an article for Next Insurance. Last time, when the article was submitted for review it was rejected for notability. Since then I added many more references, yet I'm afraid it will be rejected again for the same reason. I wonder whether it makes sense to submit the article as a short stub for now instead of a full article. Thanks.

Delbarital, the sourcing is improving, and the article seems decently notable, so it doesn’t make sense to make it a short stub (that would recreate the original problem). Eternal Shadow Talk 23:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I submitted a draft biography about Dr. Michael J.Lenardo on November 10, 2020, which is currently awaiting review. I am writing to inquire where would be the best place to find a reviewer with expertise in molecular biology, genetics, and medicine. Regards, Heather Hecamo (talk) 01:05, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hecamo: By adding WikiProject tags, you've done everything you can do. Our backlog is very long; since your article has been in the queue for quite a while, it will probably be reviewed relatively soon. Thanks for your patience! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:10, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I don't understand why Wayne Ayers is not coming up in Wikipedia search. The direct link is not showing correctly as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Ayers

Minat123 (talk) 05:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minat123 What you wrote is in Draft space, Draft:Wayne Ayers.(it was moved there) Drafts are not formally part of the encyclopedia and do not show up in searches(unless you put "Draft:" as part of the search). You need to submit the draft for review, I will shortly add the appropriate information so you can do so. If you have a paid relationship, or any relationship, with Mr. Ayers, you need to review WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the required formal declarations(declaring paid editing is a Terms of Use requirement). 331dot (talk) 07:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jogdnderrautela Wikipedia does not have "profiles", not a single one. Wikipedia has articles. Those articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state. The sources you have offered do not have significant coverage of you. Please review the autobiography policy to learn why writing about yourself is not advisable. Please also read about how an article about yourself is not necessarily a good thing. 331dot (talk) 12:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:51:50, 1 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Cocouture

hello, I just saw that my article was declined.

The reason is blank page and it looks as a test. When I clicked on edit my article it really is blank! I remember when I clicked submit I wasn’t sure what happened I then had to click again. Fortunately I made screen grabs just before. Can I use an older version of my draft and use it to edit and then eventually submit my article? I’ll make sure I follow the instructions very carefully. Or ask for help when I’m ready to submit again. Thank you very much


Cocouture (talk) 17:51, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cocouture: Hello and Welcome to the AFC help desk. For some reason you deleted all the text with these two changes. If so, don't worry, I have restored the draft content using the page history. If you want to submit it again, you can do so by placing {{subst:submit}} (as it appears when viewing this page) at the top, without overwriting the content of the edit box.

I'm not sure why my article was declined. It is a factual, descriptive article about the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, not an article about the history of the Southern Jewish experience, which would require citations, scholarly contributions, historiography, etc.

Willie Sklar (talk) 23:46, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Willie Sklar The draft is completely unsourced. Wikipedia articles must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something. Please read Your first article. I gather that you are associated with the museum in some way.

Thanks.I have included 6 references, all of them reliable (the Guardian, the University of Warwick, Duke University Press, AHRC, a PDF of a document). I believe that 6 references are quite a good number for such a short entry. You can ask professor Stephen Gundle himslef: he will confirm that everything that is written there is true. Anyway, if you want me to include extra references I will be probably able to do it (with some effort). Please, specify how many, thanks.2.30.2.222 (talk) 11:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@2.30.2.222: One for each and every claim that could potentially be challenged. We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates it or, if no such source(s) can be found, removed wholesale.

20:05:52, 2 May 2021 review of draft by Pjedicke

I'd like to contribute more to Wikipedia, so I've chosen to start pages about books I've read that don't already have pages. Three things confuse me. 1. Consistency. Are there rules for which books deserve to have Wikipedia pages and which ones don't? Are the rules applied consistently? If not, why not? How can I know which rules apply to a book I would like to add? 2. Noteworthiness. What makes a book worthy of having a Wikipedia page? Why would we want to exclude any book from Wikipedia? 3. References. When a Wikipedia contributor writes a summary of a book's content, such as plot and characters in the case of a novel, what kind of references are required? Reviews of books don't always summarize a book's content. Peter Jedicke (talk) 20:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC) Peter Jedicke (talk) 20:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 09:47:58, 3 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by RB2345

I have written an article about a major campaign that has been covered extensively by a large number of news outlets, including some mentioning the campaign by name directly. Despite this, the reviewer of the article has claimed that it doesn't have enough coverage to warrant its own article. The reviewer has also claimed that use of the Campaign's own material as a source on its manifesto is inappropriate. How can you not cite an organisation's own manifesto when writing about it directly. I would like help in improving this article so it meets the necessary criteria, as I don't understand why it has been rejected so far. A campaign that has had national media coverage and has made historic achievements is definitely important enough to be in an article.

I recognise that as I have ties to the campaign, there is a conflict of interest in me writing this article, but I have attempted to word as unbiased as possible. If I could have help in rewording to prevent it being struck down on those grounds again, that would be great RB2345 (talk) 09:47, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RB2345 A reviewer's role is to push a draft back for further work if they believe that it does not have a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process as an article. This they have done. You should have a conversation with them about their reasons. While this is a draft your COI is in a protected space., and you may edit with no concerns.
While this is a current campaign it feels as if this is a campaign document. Please read Wikipedia:NOTSOAPBOX for some background FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 12:14, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will expand Fiddle's note by saying your article lacks any reliable sources that review the game. Think reviews in game journals, popular media, newspapers. AdmiralEek (talk) 21:40, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 15:22:14, 3 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by 108.14.83.30

I was hoping that you could provide further feedback on how I can improve this article to reach a publishable standard. I believe that I have cited many reputable sources but perhaps I have relied too heavily on information from a website affiliated with the subject. Please let me know how I should proceed. Thank you.

108.14.83.30 (talk) 15:22, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is confused. Either write the subject;s biography or wrote about their business, but not about both isn one article. There is a different standard of rec]ferencig or each:
  • 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, in multiple secondary sources which are 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.
alternatively,
  • We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. 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 referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
Make your decision and revise your draft accordingly, please, using stellar referencing for either. Note that one may be notable whereas the other may not. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 15:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

18:38:35, 3 May 2021 review of draft by FireGrass1

I am hoping to get some clarification as to what counts as a reliable source within this article. I understand that editorial commentary is not usually considered reliable or verifiable, but is a major Italian newspaper? Bookforum? The Community of Literary Magazines and Presses?

FireGrass1 (talk) 18:38, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FireGrass1 Reliable sources are not article specific, nor are they confined to one language. Wikipedia:Reliable sources should be your universal guide FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 18:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes, I understand that---but any help on whether any of the draft is salvageable would be appreciated, as I believe some sources are reliable and some are not, but I truly have not been able to figure out which, even looking at the reliable sources page.

Why is exactly my draft not accepted for an article?

ABSTYS (talk) 09:26, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ABSTYS because it does not show notability. We have no idea what it is that was created. Even iff IT is notable the creator may not be. It has insufficient in the way of reference, as stated in the big pink declaim box, which we presume you have read. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 09:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My page Rise.ai was declined for being advertising, I thought to take out those lines:

  • In 2019, The company changed its name to Rise.ai and handled more than $1 billion in store credit for its worldwide customers.
  • Rise.ai manages electronic gift cards and loyalty programs for online stores from over 80 countries, including Kroger, Pepsico, Allbirds and Milk Bar.

do you think it would have a better chance to be excepted.

14:18:33, 4 May 2021 review of submission by Ising4jesus

What can I do to improve the AOZ_Studio draft article for approval?

What kind of references do I need to show "significant coverage"? (I've seen many articles with less references which were approved.)

Since AOZ Studio is new, coverage is harder to come by, but predecessors to the language have been widely covered. (AOZ Studio is based on AMOS Professional, and is also related to STOS - the predecessor of AMOS.) Would references to these related languages be helpful?

Would references to the developers of AOZ Studio be helpful? For example: The AOZ BASIC language was designed by Francois Lionet, a prominent software developer of many popular programs, including other programming languages/packages (STOS, AMOS, Click & Play, etc., as well as AOZ Studio). Would references to Francois help as references for AOZ Studio (which he also developed)?

Likewise, Laurant Weill (also one of the founders of AOZ Studio), is a prominent figure in the French software industry. He created Loricel (the first Video Game company in France), among others. Would references to him help?

Ising4jesus (talk) 14:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ising4jesus Please see other stuff exists. That other inappropriate content exists does not mean that yours can too. We can only address what we know about; it is possible to get inappropriate content by us. Your draft has two sources, I'd be very interested to know which drafts were approved by a reviewer with fewer references. Note that it is possible for an editor to directly create an article without going through this process(though we strongly advise against it); this does not mean it has been "approved". 331dot (talk) 14:24, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From a quick look, only the New Yorker source is salvageable. psmag is obscenely short and thus useless in any context, and the rest are all connected to or written/spoken by the subject. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 06:10, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every claim that could potentially be challenged for any reason whatsoever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates it or, if no such sources can be found, removed. This is a hard requirement when writing biographical content about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is not negotiable. I personally am of the opinion that social media should not be using Wikipedia for any sort of verification scheme due to its crowdsourced nature. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 05:47, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tim's comments make perfect sense and clearly I should have realised.... What I was attempting to do was reflect how the BBKA is made up of a large number of regional associations.
