03:41:02, 17 August 2018 review of submission by Anonymous1941


I don't want to make the same mistake again. The problem is my draft reads like a blow-by-blow account of her harassment and depression. I want my draft to be a summary of the events leading up to her suicide and the events that occurred after it. I have tried my best to fix the tone of the draft but it never worked, can someone please help me by editing the draft by making it look like a summary of the events leading up to her suicide. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

It needs work, for sure. I'm willing to assist and have noted such on the Draft. It may take me a few days, however, just FYI. StrikerforceTalk 18:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not understanding why my page was declined and am looking for guidance.

Lucmar10 (talk) 06:39, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lucmar10 Greetings. There are two panels on top of the draft page have indicated the reasons of whey the draft article have been declined. If you click on the "blue highlighted texts" they will lead you to another pages where details info will be given. Basically, a article would only be accepted by Wikipedia if the subject is notable where the subject has been talk about in independence, reliable sources such as reputable newspaper. Sources from homepage, fb, listing, utube, marketing pieces, interviews are considered not reliable and / or not independence. At the current stage, the subject is not notable to be accepted as a stand alone page in Wikipedia main space. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:49, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

08:00:23, 17 August 2018 review of submission by 109.98.165.185


Oh yet. It has been declined previously & rejected by Strikerforce because it has ineligible or insufficient reilable sources to verify WP:Notability. Now Alex4ff submitted again (2'nd time). 109.98.165.185 (talk) 08:00, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alex4ff Greetings. See below and kindly rework.
  1. Pls provide in line citation on unsrouced sections and citations needed sections.
  2. Pls provide page number for sources from books and PDF as there are hundred of pages on each book where reviewers would not be reading thousand pages just to find where you got the info from.
  3. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:28, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point now, but please give me the option to re-submit it again as i have removed all the links other than times of india and zee news as u mentioned I know its a small artice now but still all details are relevant to the concerned person

Nishaarya (talk) 12:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Nishaarya. No, you do not understand the point. Athar Siddiqui is not notable, so Wikipedia will not accept an article about him, however small. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:43, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable work by an author that hasn't been shown to meet general notability guidelines. Without properly asserting those two things within a properly referenced article, there's not anything that can be done for this submission, unfortunately.

07:18:06, 18 August 2018 review of submission by Devendra143gupta


Shanaya Makani is very young Producer in film industry, she already made one Bhojpuri Movie which was superhit, now she is producing a Bollywood Movie. You can check the reference link which I linked with the article. I am requesting you to please plublish the article. If any mistake in article than plz help me with it or solve it. Devendra143gupta (talk) 07:18, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Devendra143gupta, the reviewer turned down the draft on the basis of the producer only having been involved in one completed film. A second film would have to either be very far along or actually completed to count as a second. Also critically, you have to actually state the facts in article - you don't actually mention the second film, and your references are just in two clumps. You need to write out the facts in them that you consider important and then put the references that support each sentence or two after them.
I hope this helps with the two main stated reasons, please ask either me or your reviewer if you have any further questions. Nosebagbear (talk) 23:25, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:09:44, 18 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by TheHoeun


I tried to submit an article of one of commercial banks in Cambodia, but got rejected it twice. The feedback was that it looked like an advert, but i basically followed the existing texts of other articles of commercial banks in Cambodia. I am new to this, so please help explain me how i can get an article to be published?

Thank you.

TheHoeun (talk) 12:09, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TheHoeun. For general advice on how to get an article published, see Wikipedia:Your first article. With regard to this particular draft, although it is natural to learn by example, it is safer to work from the official guidelines, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines is not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best.
More generally, getting an article published is overrated. What is easier for a new editor, and more useful, is to improve existing articles. We have 5.6 million to choose from. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:34, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Worldbruce! This is very helpful.

Request on 19:40:40, 20 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Skv1982


Hello, an article I submitted on a company called FREEandCLEAR was rejected and the reviewer cited "Need more sources discussing the company, not articles the company produces." None of the ten articles I referenced were produced by the company but rather by multiple credible, third party sources including the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Mortgage Professionals of America (MPA), MReport and Inman. These last three sources are real estate and mortgage publications which establish credibility and significance in the subject's field. I modeled my submission after several other similar articles on Wikipedia so I am not sure why it was rejected. I have also posted this question to the reviewer's talk page but any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time submitting to Wikipedia and I made every effort to follow the guidelines so please let me know what I should do differently. Thank you, -skv1982

Skv1982 (talk) 19:40, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending paid editing disclosure, see User talk:Skv1982#Declare any connection. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:52, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your declaration, Skv1982. The Washington Post and Chicago Tribune articles are not about the company per se. They quote company representatives and reports by or for the company, sources that are not independent of the company. Trade publications generally don't help establish notability because of their limited audience and often too-cozy relationship with companies in the industry they cover. The most relevant guidelines is WP:NCORP.
The problem with modeling a draft after existing articles is that Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines does not mean they have been in any way "approved". It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:57, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

202.131.108.4 (talk) 06:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC) May i know what is the exact meaning of the second line ....... clarity needs to be provided more[reply]

Hi IP user. I actually disagree with the reviewer's comments; but only specifically about length. Wikipedia articles can be stubs, so the length isn't the issue with the article. However, the reviewer noted that the article only has three references. The subject does not have a DOB on the article, but I'd assume the subject was still alive? If so, it needs to pass more stringent rules regarding WP:BLP (Biographies of living people). I'd suggest if you could find a couple more suitible reliable secondary sources, it would be much more likely to be accepted. (I'd also suggest finding a DOB for the subject, if possible).

08:33:10, 21 August 2018 review of submission by Lien Darkwood

yo y the heck is Sapan Verma not qualified to be on wiki huh?? You think only you foreigners are good enough huh??? Lien Darkwood (talk) 08:33, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Lien Darkwood: - firstly, accusing reviewers of racism probably isn't a great start to your early days in wikipedia.

Secondly, Sapan Verma may, or may not, be sufficiently notable (which is all about reliable media coverage, not importance or being "qualified"). However you need to provide reliable sources that discuss him in detail. Referencing for beginners is a good place to start. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:57:56, 21 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Hotwheels59


I would like the page Dakota Jane to be reinstated please, as I now have some articles citing her importance in the motorsport industry. I am sadly really out of my depth with my computer skills. I asked on the help page and I thought I had done it correctly but still no reply. If someone could talk me through it that would be great, sorry to be a pain! I know she would really like to get the page up but as she is constantly at races she doesn't have the time to do it herself. I am also not sure how I add the references! many thanks. hotwheelsHotwheels59 (talk) 08:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hotwheels59 (talk) 08:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hotwheels59 Greetings to you. First of all, it would NOT be good idea for Dakota Jane to write about herself as she would have a conflict of interest - see Wikipedia:Autobiography. For a article to be accepted in Wikipedia, the subject needs to be notable. The content needs to be cited by independent, reliable sources where by the sources talk about the subject "directly" in length and in dept and not only merely passing mentioned. Sources such as homepage, facebook, listing, interviews, affiliated wit the subject (Dakota Jane), user generated sites and etc would considered not independent and / or reliable and can not demonstrator the notability of the subject. What we look for are sources such as from major newspapers, academic journal, reliable magazine (TIME, Economists and etc.). Also please read WP:Your First Article and referencing for beginners to familiar yourself on how to write an article and citing in Wikipedia. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:11, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think what CASSIOPEIA meant to say was that " it would NOT be good idea for Dakota Jane to write about herself". Theroadislong (talk) 09:17, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Theroadislong Thank you, yes I missed the "NOT" on my previous message and added in now. Thank you for noticing and informing. Appreciate it Theroadislong. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Cassiopia thank you for your reply, Dakota did write the content herself, the new citations we have are from independent sources, i.e. magazine articles and respected organisations. I work as her assistant and take instructions from her with regard to setting up the wiki page. Many thanks for any help you can give me. I have to go out for 2 hours ,so I will check back to see what you suggest. Hotwheels Hotwheels59 (talk) 09:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC Hotwheels59 (talk) 09:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hotwheels59 Hi, Please re-read my message above as I missed out the "NOT" (should be it would NOT be good idea....) since Dakota and you (who affliated to Dakota as a paid editor), both of you have conflict of interest here. Wikipedia strongly discourage editors with COI to edit/add content to the affected page. It a Dakota is notable enough, other people will write about her. You need to disclose your COI on the article talk page and your user page. Please see you talk page message and follow the instruction accordingly. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 11:53, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Cassiopeia , I am even more confused. Dakotas bio is taken from an interview that she gave to a magazine and so of course I wrote she did it herself because its her own words. I am an assistant but am unpaid and am a motorsport fan only trying to set up a wiki page which I thought would be easy, but I am way out of my depth. Am at point non plus now because I have no idea how to get the page back up, how to add the citations or even to add the fact I am unpaid, really sad, I thought wiki was a really nice thing to do! please advise how I should proceed, I feel like I'm in a minefield with a sniper! Would really appreciate some practical advice. thanks HotwheelsHotwheels59 Hotwheels59 (talk) 12:12, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hotwheels59,

(1) Ok if you are an unpaid employee of Dakota then it is not a paid editor but you are still have COI here as you know/affiliated to Dakota for such you still need to disclosure you COI. (see link on your talk page) (2) Dependent source (such as interview) can be the source to validate the content but it could not use to demonstrate the notability of the subject. Content obtains directly from from the subject / or sources affiliated with the subject are considered NOT independent. (3) please read Your First Article and referencing for beginners to familiar yourself on how to write an article and citing in Wikipedia. (4) We need three independent, reliable sources in the article to demostrate the notability of the subject. (5) You dont need to create a new message every time you reply the message, just click edit on right this message title "on 08:57:56, 21 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Hotwheels59", and scroll all the way down and start typing. Template:Sigit. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:31, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

10:21:26, 21 August 2018 review of submission by Nsevistr


Thank you very much for the multiplicity of instruments and helps for the new arrived. I would like to ask if it is possible to change the title of the page approved, as it was in the draft. The approved one is Observatory on Digital Communication, but it should be OCCAM - Observatory on Digital Communication.

Nsevistr (talk) 10:21, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nsevistr Title of the article could be changed before it is published or it is in draft stage, if you do not have the right to do that yet, just pop by here or WP:Teahouse and request. I take it that you meant changing from Observatory on Digital Communication to OCCAM. If a abbreviation of a name is common, which one would easy find many hits on search engine, that it would be use for the article title such as UN, FIFA and etc. I have quick search on Google, and Digital Communication would be the choice over OCCAM. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nsevistr (talk) 08:20, 22 August 2018 (UTC) Thank you very much for the kind answer! I would like to keep the complete form with both: OCCAM-Observatory on Digital Communication. They always go hand in hand, it would be much more precise. Can you help me to change it? Otherwise, I am going to follow your advice and go to WP:Teahouse. Thanks![reply]

15:07:36, 21 August 2018 review of submission by Shadwell Basin


My article on this leading (but now elderly) writer has been declined only on the grounds "Please Format in accordance with WP:MOS"

I thought I was following Wiki house style, but plainly not. I'm happy to make changes, but can you tell me how to reformat my draft please? Preferably by reference to some of the existing copy?

I have not put in a list of contents because I do not know how to do so (nor to include images). If I know how to do either, I would do them.

Thanks from Shadwell Basin by the Thames in Wapping.

Help, Please! Shadwell Basin (talk) 15:07, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Shadwell Basin:, I've set up a basic contents table for the draft as it currently is, however that may well not have been the (only) manual of style (MOS) reason that was significant to cause an article rejection. I'll page @Gbawden:, as I think it would be helpful if he could clarify which specific areas are most in need of work (sourcing etc), as the MOS document is rather hefty to navigate on your own. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Shadwell Basin:, Greetings, you could add the publications with ISBN as per reference here - Wikipedia:ISBN (Template parameter) and add Infobox - see here "Blank template with basic parameters" under Template:Infobox person. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:39, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Shadwell Basin: I haven't gone into checking the references etc - my comment was pedantic and cosmetic - The section headings need to be fixed and the publications section at the end needs to be moved into the article and formatted properly Gbawden (talk) 06:15, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

06:05:05, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Vnarsimhan


I would like to know the reason why this article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Bhanumathi_Narasimhan is taking such a long time for getting reviewed? Moreover, I would request certain examples if any, to get this article live.

Thammudu (talk) 06:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vnarsimhan, The draft is in the pool of submissions to be reviewed and will be evaluated in due course and the backlog is eight weeks. All reviewers are volunteers and article review is not based on first come first serve basis as reviewers would general review draft as their own choosing and / or of the topics their are familiar with. So pls be patient. One important thing is not to violate copyright as the draft article had copied and pasted the content from other source. Usually in such case, the draft article would be delete speedily but it was saved by admin where the copyrighted material was removed from the page. Thank you.

I wrote an article. It was rejected. I fixed all the reasons given, and now think it's quite good. But I've been waiting a very long time for my proposed article to be reviewed again.

I posted on the reviewers talk page to no effect.

How can I get the article accepted?

Kitplane01 (talk) 07:58, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Kitplane01.
Good to hear you've been fixing a draft. Once you've done that you need to re-submit it (like you did the first time) or we won't know to review it.
There's a reasonably large backlog at the moment, but in the meantime you can either make additional edits to it and/or start work on another draft. People also make additional comments on drafts awaiting review, so you can react to any that might appear in the meantime.
Yours, Nosebagbear (talk) 09:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nosebadbear That's fine. But how do I resubmit an existing draft? Thanks for the help!
@Kitplane01: At the top of the draft is a large pink box. In it is a big blue "Resubmit" button. Click it to submit the draft for another review. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:59, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 11:38:20, 22 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Smokingduck


I came across this article on wikipdeia listing UK parkruns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Parkruns_in_the_United_Kingdom

I thought it would be helpful to create a sister page listing UK junior parkruns in the UK (the only difference between a parkrun and a junior parkrun is that the junior events are for 4-14 year olds only).

Articles for creation: List of Junior Parkruns in the UK

It was rejected. I don't understand why only one should be approved. I'd think either both articles are suitable, or neither article is suitable.

Could somebody explain. Thank you.

Smokingduck (talk) 11:38, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smokingduck. The difference may have to do with List of Parkruns in the United Kingdom citing 100+ sources, and Draft:List of Junior Parkruns in the UK citing 2, but the "rejected" review outcome is a fairly new innovation here at Articles for creation, so reviewer DGG may wish to comment more fully. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Smokingduck. My error. The new template should not have been used in this manner. Thanks for notifying me so I could fix it. I reverted the review and re-reviewed it. It really needs some more content than the list of places, just like List of Parkruns in the United Kingdom. DGG ( talk ) 03:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
DGG and Worldbruce. Thanks for the feedback. I understand the need for more content - I've added some content to the "Greater London" page, a few more references, and resubmitted the page. I am not able to add detail for the vast majority of the entries because I only know a couple of events near me in south London. My expectation is that when the page is live, so others can see it, people from different parts of the country will fill in the sections for their area. I wasn't sure how to include this expectation in the listing. Smokingduck ( talk ) 10:00, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

14:49:28, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Hartilli


I would like a re-review due to the fact that one user believed that my draft was ready for submission, while another did not. Therefore, I would like a third person's assessment and possible advice as how to resolve the issues. Thank you in advance. Hartilli (talk) 14:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hartilli:,
I've re-reviewed the draft and I would concur with Chrissymad that the draft did not have suitable sourcing. Most of the sources were not "intellectually independent" - either from the organisation itself or one with a significant interest in promoting its aims. Of the others, they failed to provide significant coverage of Maccabi USA, usually talking about individual athletes or specific teams. There needs to be multiple sources providing actual coverage of what Maccabi does, how it does it etc - in detail, in a suitable source.
I would suggest hunting down news coverage of the organisation, ones with several paragraphs (not including quotes) on the organisation. It's a significantly old organisation so there may well be book coverage or even some archived newspapers which can often be searched online. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:00, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shadwell Basin: - I've taken a look at it and the contents box seems to be where you want it. Infoboxes can be immensely fiddly to add. My suggestion, if you still want to add one, is to find a similar article on the same topic and see whether its infobox would work (with the content replaced, obviously!).

I've fixed the problem I asked about earlier today, thank you!! But could I have some guidance on how to insert an infobox and image into my article, please?? Thank you. Shadwell Basin (talk) 18:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shadwell Basin: - I've covered infoboxes above, though I'd add that you can see where to place it by looking at a few articles. It's a little more complicated in a draft since there is a bunch of wikitext at the top from comments etc, that has to be on top, but won't always be there
With regards to a picture, see Help:Pictures. Please note that you'll need to add the infobox first, since the way of adding a picture is a little different if putting it into an infobox. It's all explained on the helppage. If you aren't using a photo already on wikimedia, PLEASE be really careful about uploading etc: wiki is brutal on potential copyright violations and it can be very complicated to tread the path.

We attempted to correct some information on the Wikipedia page for Di Camillo Bakery and address the remakes from the Wikipedia editors. In order to correct and address the issues raised by Wikipedia we made have errored by posting it directly instead of using the sandbox. In our sandbox are the corrections and additional citations addressing the issues that were raised by the editors. Please let us know if we are following proper procedure.

Hi @Ktpdicamillo: The correct method for editors with a conflict of interest to suggest edits to an article is to go to the talk page (in this case, Talk:DiCamillo Bakery) and to make your suggestions there along with the {{request edit}} template. Iffy★Chat -- 09:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting re-review of the submitted article, as I believe the article is relevant to wikipedia. Mr. McNulty is a current holder of a British feudal title and fellowship in the RSA. WP has articles on each of these subjects, so another article on a holder of each seems appropriate for publication.

Teemah 24 (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC) I want to know how to delete a reference that has been included in an articleTeemah 24 (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Teemah 24, this article, draft, redirect and sandbox have been the subject of an interesting mix of speedy delete reasons today. I currently believe no form of it remains active, but I could be wrong.
In any case, to delete a reference, go to edit, find the reference and delete everything (and including) within <ref>...</ref>. Two things: 1) Be very careful not to delete the wrong reference, it can be easy to do 2) If you aren't editing your sandbox then you need to state a good reason that you've deleted the reference, in the edit summary.

I concur with your original reviewer's analysis. As well as there being no sources, making demonstration of anything within impossible, it does not appear that the club has received sufficient coverage or league ranking to be notable. There are also significant non-neutral statements within (calling the club awesome etc) that cannot remain if it is to be published. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:38:36, 23 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by OMEHGA


As an independent artist with published music available on all digital platforms and a constantly growing social media following, I wanted to establish a Wikipedia page for myself to further substantiate my online presence.

OMEHGA (talk) 12:38, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OMEHGA. What you describe is not a permissible use of Wikipedia. Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites, Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself. It is an encyclopedia, and may not be used for marketing, promotion, or public relations. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys, Great to see your post at the bottom of the page. I've tried submitting my Wiki page twice and used a global bank as an example of how to write it, but it was rejected despite best attempts to watch videos and look to large corporates for best practice methodologies. Do you have a writer that could write it for me if I pay someone? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Lucienne

Lucienne Lopez bkv (talk) 14:41, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't understand why language like, "It’s a global leader offering a full range of condition monitoring solutions ranging from sensors and accessories to plantwide monitoring systems" has no place in an encyclopedia entry, I'm not sure whether your critical facilities have been damaged by working in public relations, or whether you just don't understand the concept of neutral point of view. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lucienne Lopez bkv. See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY. If multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources exist (think books, Financial Times, Handelsblatt, Harvard Business Review, and the like) that contain significant coverage (coverage not excluded by WP:CORPDEPTH) of Brüel & Kjær Vibro, then volunteers at Wikipedia:Requested articles will happily write an article for free. Most companies do not satisfy Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, and should not be the subject of an encyclopedia article. Do not trust anyone who tells you they can create an article for money. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:44, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting further assistance in publishing my draft for author & professor, Ardain Isma. I'm uninformed whether you have access to the draft, so I will leave a url of the page before going further into my request: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ardain_Isma I would like a further explanation as to how I can publish this draft. Which sources, if any, are acceptable and/or missing from this draft to increase credibility of the page? Also, how many more do I need for my revision? At first glance, I believe more neutral sources of Isma's works are required, correct? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to reading your response. Neko Phillips (talk) 15:27, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Neko Phillips:. So to source an article about an author requires sources that satisfy two things. A book or books of the author, in detail, from impartial and critical sources. I would say you have covered that aspect well (known as WP:AUTHOR). You then need to demonstrate significant coverage, in reliable sources (most significant newspapers, books etc) about the person themselves.
Book reviews often contain a few lines about the author, but you need sources that discuss her in significant detail (at least a few paragraphs). 2 good sources is the usual amount (obviously, more is better). These sources should also let you provide a few specific references on the facts within the article. Remember, while primary texts (autobiographies or a personal website etc) can be used to support basic facts, they won't count towards the two reliable, detailed, sources you need.

I hope this helps, Nosebagbear (talk) 15:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I been around some of the most infamous People in the world over many decades . I noticed under motorcycle clubs a whole bunch of useless individual names that really have nothing to do under some of the clubs they are listed under my name would fit there more people know of me then some off those name listed in wiki . Most of the stories on Biker clubs are incomplete or out right lies . I see no way of changing FALSE INFORMATION IN WIKI AND I HAVE NO intention of even trying. Fake media is impossible to stop when its & because those involved in fake media get involved with media just to spin facts. . I am far more well known then those people. I am, not looking to give my opinions on wiki . I just want wiki to validate I am who I am so i can write books . I been in new papers for decades from saving life to taking lifes .

I have created a new article for the holding group of Geely Auto, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Zhejiang_Geely_Holding_Group)

As it stands, the ZGH term redirects to Geely, however these are inherently seperate objects. How do I go about ensuring that my new ZGH page is set up seperately?

- I have added references to address reviewer's feedback - Also, as I explained to the reviewer, please note the subject's popularity started in the Russian emigre circles in the United States and Europe - hence the references are "slanted" towards Russian-oriented sources - Please re-review the draft.

Shmuel.zweinstein (talk) 12:10, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Shmuel.zweinstein:. I've not checked over your sources, but you may well have resolved the issue on which your draft was rejected. You've properly re-submitted your draft, so it will re-enter the process and be reviewed as your previous one was. Clearly there are a lot of drafts in the system at the moment, so that may or may not take some time. Your previous reviewer may take a more direct look at it, but some prefer not to re-review their own work, to ensure an objective set of eyes. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:44, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Nosebagbear:. I appreciate your clarification. And it sounds like since it's been resubmitted, my course of action is to await the second round of reviews, which I will. Thanks again!

Request on 14:27:55, 24 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Aeanderson2


Greetings, our Academy of Mathematics & Science page continues to be declined. However, it is almost identical to the Kansas Academy of Mathematics & Science page which has already been published and existed on Wikipedia for many years. We do not understand why this page does not meet the requirements but the other does. They are the same Early College Program (not an honors program), they just serve a different population of student. Please clarify why this page does not meet the qualification but the other does. Thanks!

Aeanderson2 (talk) 14:27, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Aeanderson2:. Firstly, I took your comment out the shaded in bit - anything inside the "<!-- ... -->" bit can only be seen when editing.
The presence (or absence) of another article doesn't mean that the existence of another, similar, article can be justified. Otherwise a few articles that didn't meet the guidelines could be used to justify bringing everything else in. Each article is required to stand on its own merits. If you want a longer read of this have a glance at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
Usually in these cases it means the other, similar, article could actually be proposed for deletion. For example, the Kansas Academy page might also not meet the requirements to remain in Wiki, though it's a little harder to make it in than it is to be removed (we do that so as to reduce the chances of drafts being accepted and then challenged by another editor).
Of more importance is adding your own references. You need neutral (non-student good newspapers, journal articles, most books etc) sources, that discuss the Academy in detail (called Significant Coverage, or SIGCOV). At least two is advised. You can use other sources to support individual facts in your article, but you need those high quality sources to support the presence of the article as a whole.

Hi! I was wondering about what makes a page important enough for an actual page - when my draft was rejected, it said something with "significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" is worthy of a page, but my draft had that. Any advice? Thanks!
