07:14:03, 2 March 2018 review of submission by MickeyViolet

Would you please explain why my page has been declined this third time in such a rude manner? The reviewer said I had "stubbornly refused" to pay attention to comments but I have only just started editing Wikipedia and believed I was following earlier advice. MickeyViolet (talk) 07:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MickeyViolet - Mickey, not sure why you've posted again, as I've responded above? KJP1 (talk) 07:22, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

14:57:10, 2 March 2018 review of submission by Quibu

Hello! I've been trying to submit an article about the German artist Quint Buchholz but it keeps getting rejected. The last reviewer recommended the following: "Before you submit this again, I strongly suggest that you review the above criteria for notability and gather something like three references that you think hit the sweet spot on that first notability criterion. Ask for an appraisal of just those refs (not the whole submission) at the AfC Help Desk. If you can get the reviewers there to agree that you've passed the notability hurdle, add a pointer to the discussion as a comment at the top of the draft and then resubmit. I believe that should result in an accepted article. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 06:10, 13 August 2017 (UTC)"

So, would you please review the first notability criterion, i.e. "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" for artist Quint Buchholz. I would like to note that Buchholz has illustrated and published over 70 books, among them books by Nobel prize winners. Many internationally renowned authors have even written stories specifically about his pictures (BookPictureBook, 1997.) He has received a long list of international awards, among them two Batchelder Awards and NY Times Book awards. Also, there is already a page about him on the German Wikipedia, which shows that Wikipedia reviewers have already acknowledged his notability in the past.

Moreover, these following sources (which are only a small selection) should show that painter and illustrator Quint Buchholz is a notable person of the German and international arts scene who is cited/discussed by colleagues as well as in independent (scholarly) publications:

Heidenreich, Elke. "Im Schutz der Bücher und der Tiere", Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, November 27, 2010 (http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/buecher/rezensionen/belletristik/die-bibel-in-bildern-von-quint-buchholz-im-schutz-der-buecher-und-der-tiere-11071353.html). This is a review of one of Quint Buchholz's own books by renowned German writer and critic Elke Heidenreich, whose book "Nero Corleone - A Cat's Story" Buchholz illustrated in 1997 and which has won numerous awards.

Budeus-Budde, Roswitha, "Quint Buchholz", Sueddeutsche Zeitung, November 4, 2016 (http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/grossformat-quint-buchholz-1.3234785). This is a large article about Buchholz's painting technique in a national German newspaper.

Nodelman, Perry. "Message on a Canvas". NY Times. Retrieved 2 March 2018 (http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/11/21/reviews/991121.21nodelmt.html). This is a 1999 review of Buchholz's book The Collector of moments by Canadian children's literature critic Perry Nodelman for the New York Times.

Dolle-Weinkauff, Bernd: "Postmoderne im deutschsprachigen Bilderbuch: ein Streifzug durch Werke von H.M. Enzensberger / Michael Sowa, Jörg Steiner / Jörg Müller sowie Quint Buchholz." in: LiCus. Journal of Literary Theory and Cultural Studies, 2 (2007), 2, 131-147. This is an independent, academic discussion of Quint Buchholz's relevance for the postmodern picture book.

Franz, Kurt, Kinder- und Jugendliteratur. Ein Lexikon. Corian-Verlag, 2001, p. 312. ISBN 978-3-89048-150-0. This is a dictionary of children's and young adults' literature, where Quint Buchholz is listed and discussed as an illustrator and painter.

Kronthaler, Helmut (ed.), Quint Buchholz. In: Lexikon der Illustration im deutschsprachigen Raum seit 1945. edition text + kritik, Munich, 2009, ISBN 978-3-8691-6191-4. This is another dictionary of German illustrators listing and discussing Quint Buchholz as a notable artist.

Partsch, Susanna, "Quint Buchholz". In: Rosemarie Zacher, Susanna Partsch: Maler des Augenblicks. Wie Monet & Co. die Farbe entdeckten. Berlin Verlag, 2007, ISBN 978-3-8270-5216-2. In this academic publication, Partsch and Zacher dedicate a whole chapter of their booklength discussion of a number of painters (among them Monet) to Quint Buchholz.

Thank you for your time.

18:47:35, 3 March 2018 review of submission by Bbarmadillo

Hi. Please make suggestions for improving Arctic Zero article. The submission was declined by TeaDrinker. I made a substantial rewrite to the article removing possibly promotional info. I wonder if it enough or not. If not, how can I improve the article further? Disclosure: this article is a (properly stated) COI contribution. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:47, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bbarmadillo - My suggestion is that it doesn't appear on here, which is why I've tagged it for Speedy Deletion. It's straightforward, paid, advertising of the kind we absolutely don't need. KJP1 (talk) 20:42, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KJP1 please tell how is it different from the articles about other ice cream/dessert brands like Halo Top Creamery or Breyers. Also, do you assume that AP, Reuters and Inc. and Washington Post coverage is paid? I would really appreciate if you tell me how to improve it in the right direction. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:46, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bbarmadillo - I've told you the right direction - it doesn't belong here. KJP1 (talk) 20:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KJP1 so the pages for the 2 above mentioned brands should be deleted as well? -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bbarmadillo - Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. KJP1 (talk) 21:08, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KJP1 I know this, thank you. Will you also nominate above mentioned articles for the speedy deletion on the same grounds? -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Halo Top Creamery article was extremely promotional I have hacked it back a bit, thanks for bringing it to our notice. Theroadislong (talk) 21:16, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Theroadislong you are welcome. Snickers is another extremely promotional article. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:22, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But my question remains. I don't see why Halo Top Creamery or Breyers exist and Arctic Zero should not. Technically, Halo Top appeared after Arctic Zero (a younger brand). Also I was not even given time to make edits to edit the article. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:29, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Halo Top Creamery article also appears to have been an undisclosed paid editing job. Theroadislong (talk) 21:34, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What about all the other ice-cream brands? I am not joking, by the way. Is this category a total promotion? -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You came here asking for advice. You got it. Having faux debates with paid editors, when in fact we understand each others' positions perfectly well, isn't a productive use of my time. KJP1 (talk) 21:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bbarmadillo, do it then. You're a registered user, go nominate them for deletion if you think they aren't notable. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jcc that would be against my concept of editing Wikipedia. I am an inclusionist. If I see any value in the content, I always try to improve the content or leave the comment at the Talk page with the improvement suggestions. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:46, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:54:04, 3 March 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by FerryBrewery

I have set up a user page for Ferry Brewery but it was denied for no references. I don't understand where you wish me to reference from as it mainly information about the brewery. Please advise how I can fix this for the page to be accepted. Should I reference from our company site, Companies House etc? For the awards should I reference from the Award body? FerryBrewery (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are lucky, there is a guide on making article specifically for breweries, check WP:Notability (breweries). The general rule is that you should have every word said supported by independent sources (newspaper publications, industry magazines and so on). Your own website is NOT a trusted source of information (as it belongs to you). This article says more about making references. Also avoid words like "our products", this is an encyclopedia, not your website of Facebook page. Hope it helps. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:10, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can see, the user's blocked and the draft deleted for advertisement. So, I don't think this is likely to progress any time soon. KJP1 (talk) 10:34, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

20:40:18, 3 March 2018 review of submission by 68.102.39.189

I Hope This Article is ready to move into the main catgorey 68.102.39.189 (talk) 20:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

68.102.39.189 - I think the answer's the same as for the next three. It's just too soon for these drafts to go into main space. As the games don't begin for another six months, the drafts are, of necessity, full of holes. It might be that a reviewer with more experience and expertise in sports will have some suggestions, but I can't see how they can be made suitable before the matches have actually been played. KJP1 (talk) 10:24, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

20:42:26, 3 March 2018 review of submission by 68.102.39.189

Can you upload the Mountain West Logo and I Put a reference a couple days ago and I hope this article is ready for main article space 68.102.39.189 (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2018 (UTC) 68.102.39.189 (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

68.102.39.189 - As the declining reviewer indicated, I just don't see how this can be Accepted for main space at this time. The first game's not due to be played until August 2018 and, as a consequence, the draft has large blank sections. Sports aren't my bag, and it may be that another reviewer can make some suggestions, but to me, it's too soon. KJP1 (talk) 10:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

THOUGHT I POSTED IT THIS A.M. ABOUT 6:00 EST BUT DO NOT FIND CHANGES. CAN SOMEONE LOOK FOR WHAT i POSTED? THANKS. Jean Yeager (talk) 19:03, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jean Yeager: Hello, Jean. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The only other postings that I see in your contribution history are for yesterday's submission of Draft:Save A Living Thing. I took a look at the draft and found that it is unlikely to ever be accepted as a Wikipedia article, even if it were re-written in a more encyclopedic tone. The basic issue is whether you will be able to demonstrate encyclopedic notability for a four-month-long promotion done by the Southland Corporation almost half a century ago. Instead, you might want to distill your text down to just a sentence or two and add it to the "Promotions" section of our article on Slurpee. I hope this response is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:15, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

11:50:45, 6 March 2018 review of submission by Silviafemme

Thank you for the feedback. I modified the wiki a bit. I included more independent references and ISBN numbers for the writer's independent work. To note, some of the anthologies were published by Random House. What could I do if I have some print media about the writer that can't be found or linked to online? emsfor (talk) 11:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Silviafemme. Generally speaking, there's no need to cite a reference for the fact that an author wrote a particular book. Instead, just give all the bibliographic information (year of publication, title, publisher, isbn/oclc) in the list item. You can use a cite template to do so, but needn't make it an inline citation by using ref tags. I've reformatted one work as an example, and encourage you to do the same with the remaining works. There are several advantages to doing it this way. A major one is that it keeps the references section focused on the sources of substance, and avoids cluttering the section with non-independent sources where the only information you're referencing is what's on the title page.
It looks like you understand that you can cite an online news source as {{cite news |last=Morales-Casas |first=Gabriella |date=29 May 2011 |title=Elle México Diseña, en televisión |url=http://archivo.eluniversal.com.mx/estilos/68385.html |newspaper=El Universal |location=Mexico City |access-date=2018-03-02}}.
For a print copy of a source that isn't online, cite it the same way, but omit the url and access-date: {{cite news |last=Morales-Casas |first=Gabriella |date=29 May 2011 |title=Elle México Diseña, en televisión |newspaper=El Universal |location=Mexico City}}. Template {{cite book}}, {{cite magazine}}, {{cite journal}}, and so on work the same way. There is no need for sources to be online. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:09, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

16:11:42, 6 March 2018 review of submission by Trokanmariel

My submission was rejected. May I ask why? Thank you Trokanmariel (talk) 16:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trokanmariel: Hello, Trokanmariel. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who already looked at it. You can find that person's name and Talk page link in the "decline box" near the top of your draft. But before posting here, I took a look at the draft and found that I too would have declined it. There are no references and, indeed, no indication that the subject is anything other than something that you invented yourself. If not (i.e., if this really is a known problem-solving technique), then you'll need to show this by citing textbooks that discuss it. And after you do that, you'll also need to re-write the draft so that it takes on an encyclopedic tone because, as it stands right now, the tone is unencyclopedically conversational. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 16:21, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trokanmariel (talk) 16:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC) Hello NewYorkActuary. I appreciate your time and effort. I'm not sure I agree about the criticism of "unencyclopedically conversational", however, in the event that the article can't be referenced, what might you suggest I do? Loop deduction isn't a subjective process, but is an objective framework for deciphering truth. An equivalent of Loop Deduction would be to use a paint brush to paint a wall, or to let go a glass cup so that it breaks. I also find the idea that planets need teddy bears as an extremely fascinating and exciting course of inquisition. What are your personal thoughts on the matter? Once again, thanks for the help Trokanmariel (talk) 16:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trokanmariel (talk • contribs) 16:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Trokanmariel. The question of "encyclopedic tone" can be very much a subjective one. But I doubt that many experienced editors here would consider the current version of your draft to have such tone. Instead, most would point to something such as Mathematical proof as an example of an article that meets the standard.

But this issue is far overshadowed by your draft's complete lack of sourcing. I agree with the advice that you've already received from 1997kB -- if you can't demonstrate that "loop deduction" is a problem-solving technique that has been recognized by reliable authoritative sources, then it is extremely unlikely that your draft will be accepted for publication. We can look more closely at the issue of tone after you've made that demonstration. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:59, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User_talk:NMLondon#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation%3A_sandbox_%28March_6%29

Hello there. Forgive the potentially silly question, but I thought I had followed the correct instructions to activate my sandbox. But the page was declined. Is that to be expected? Also, is it possible to change my user name to include my first name and not just my initials? Thanks a lot! NMLondon (talk) 14:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NMLondon (talk) 14:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NMLondon I assume this is your submission (I couldn't find another one). It was blank (As in, it has no text), so it could never be accepted, as a draft into main space. A sandbox is somewhere where you can experiment (This is the correct place), however, you submitted it to become an article on Wikipedia. If you simply want to try out things, or want somewhere to store potential information for other pages, that's fine, but don't submit the article for review. I hope this helps. I'll post a link on your talk page regarding name changing. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:27, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)@NMLondon: Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. There is a difference -- a big difference -- between just "activating" your sandbox and submitting its contents for review. By clicking the "submit" button that appeared when you created the sandbox, you submitted a blank draft for review. We never accepted blank submissions, so it was declined and blanked of all its submission regalia. If you want to actually write something that can be reviewed, you can still do so. And after you feel you have something worthy of being looked at, add the {{User sandbox}} template to the top of the draft (including the curly brackets at the beginning and end of the template's name). After saving the page, click the submit button.

As for changing your user name, see WP:Changing username.

Could someone please take a look at this draft for me? I declined the original submission back in January on the grounds that notability wasn't established. The submitting editor has since added more references and it's been more than a month since their resubmission. I would prefer for another reviewer to assess it this time around as my impression is somewhat skewed by having reviewed it in its earlier state. If needed, I will revisit it myself, though.

Hi Rjstephan WP, the WP:NHOOPS is a link to the criteria for Basketball players on Wikipedia. I've transcribed below:

Basketball figures are presumed notable if they
1.Have appeared in one game as either a player or head coach in the original American Basketball Association, Liga ACB, EuroLeague, National Basketball Association, National Basketball League (Australia), National Basketball League (United States), Lega Basket Serie A, Women's National Basketball Association, Greek Basket League, Israeli Basketball Premier League, ABA League (and its predecessor the Yugoslav Basketball League), or the VTB United League (and its predecessors the USSR Premier Basketball League and the Russian Professional Basketball Championship).
2.Were selected in the first two rounds of the NBA draft.
3.Have won an award, or led the league in a major statistical category of the Continental Basketball Association or NBA G League.

So, as he plays in the Japan second league, he doesn't meet any of these requirements. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:42, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm not sure what else needs to make this article more notable, considering this is a very important position in the European Commission, and predecessors have Wikipedia pages.

DeeM28 (talk) 10:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @DeeM28: great question. While I think her position should incline her towards an article, you need to show a lot more than just one source. Please find at least three or four citations which discuss (not just briefly mention) her, her career, or her impact. Extract some facts from the source, add the fact(s) in, and footnote the source to show where it came from.
I would suggest looking through GoogleNews (you can set your search for further back rather than just search recent news), and find some substantive discussion about her that you can cite. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very high profile rape and murder case that has already been discussed in detail on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dayalbagh and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dayalbagh_Educational_Institute

I have created a new article for it as was concluded on the pages above, yet the draft was rejected. How should I edit my draft to ensure it gets accepted? JusticeNeeded123 (talk) 12:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @JusticeNeeded123: you have a very good question. The basic answer is the policy WP:NOTNEWS (which is worth a quick read if you have a moment). Basically, if a given event has a brief burst of news coverage, but no explicit longer-term effects, it is considered "news" and does not qualify for an article.
To show an contrast, we have the article 2012 Delhi gang rape. This is because the event was heavily covered worldwide, provoked massive protests and calls for reform, proposing and passing of news laws, debate on Indian society's views on sexual crimes, etc. Clearly that's a very major example, so not everything has to be as prominent as that, but to have an article about a murder we need to see something in that direction.
I'd advise you read WP:NOTNEWS and ask yourself if there is evidence, which you have not yet put into the article, that this event is noteworthy encyclopedically (clearly it's vitally important to the people involved). Please let me know on my Talk page if you have follow-up questions. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:19, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:07:24, 8 March 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Jbalseiro

Hello, would be possible to know more specific which ones are my mistakes. I could change it all and probably would be wrong again. I tried to link with references to websites and articles all I could, I think not too bad, so I woulnd't really know how to do it. Any advise would help a lot! Thanks in advance

Jorge Balseiro, kind regards Jbalseiro (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jbalseiro, this is a good start, but we need some sourcing beyond just the awards. The company has been around for over a century, so there must be some coverage of its long history! Check out GoogleBooks and see if any books there document facts about the company, and/or see if any older news articles (on GoogleNews you can search "archive" for older news) explain more of the company's history.
Also, you have some language issues (like "lider" instead of "leader") so please either carefully check for mistakes, or ask a friend who's strong in English to look over the draft before you Resubmit.
Please add more sourcing beyond simply awards, then click Resubmit, and I'm pretty sure we can approve this once the citations are stronger, since it is a longstanding company. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

18:20:35, 8 March 2018 review of submission by Maselrich

I am new to this and I do not understand the issue raised that this is more of an advertisement. What does it mean to be an advertisement? The article quotes things from 51 references. Is that not allowed. For example if independent references say words to the effect

"If this effort is successful, it will change CO2 into a valuable feed stock. Net CO2 emissions will be reduced as utilities and others work to capture value in the waste from their CO2 stream.[1]"

or

"The technology also has the potential to reduce curtailment of renewable energy[2][3]"

Cannot that be included in the article?

What makes an article an advertisement, if the comments are largely taken from independent sources.

p.s. I also need to understand what is needed to establish notability. I included a list of independent sources. I realize that they do not depend in the final article, but I thought that the criteria for acceptance was that the article establish notability even if the article needs editing.

04:06:44, 9 March 2018 review of submission by DonnaSaunders

My submission has been declined due to the subject only being notable for one event, his death. Would it be more acceptable to write a page on Stuart Saddle, which is a feature of the Arthur Ranges, Southwest National Park, Tasmania. This feature was formerly known as Scoparia Saddle and renamed after Stuart's death and burial there. Scoparia saddle is visited by many bushwalkers and climbers each year as part of the trek to Federation Peak. Thanks for your advice.
