I have many external links, but need help getting them into the external link area.
Same for references and a photo.
I will take the Adventure tutorial soon.
HHHOSMER (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi HHHOSMER. I suggest that you forget about photos and external links for now. The presence or absence of photos will have no effect on whether or not the draft is accepted. Articles do not require any external links.
- Concentrate on references. "Personal conversation, 1979" is not an acceptable source. Unlike other types of writing, on Wikipedia all references must be published. The remaining four citations do not adequately describe the sources you're citing. I strongly recommend that you use templates within the ref tags, such as {{cite book}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite web}}, etc. By structuring the bibliographic data, they help you make sure you've given readers everything they need to find the source for themselves. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:58, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

- Scotteggert (talk · contribs) (TB)
An article that was drafted, one of my first Wiki submissions was tagged as "speedily deleted". The subject was the employer of a good friend who is a prominent African American entrepreneur. The article was drafted in a neutral third person voice without superlatives. I included links to several other articles and a single citation. I was going to proceed with writing about some personnel and a couple of businesses he owns that would reference him.
I would appreciate some pointers about how to edit this to Wiki standards. I drafted a similar article about six years ago under very similar circumstance, and as another user, which remains mostly intact today.

- Scotteggert Is there a reason you are using a brand new profile, rather than the original account which you used to create the last article? Do you not remember your old user name?

I am working on a biography of Stefanie Minatee for Wikipedia. The first time the article was declined, I was asked to add more citations. I have done that. Today it was declined again; here is the message I received this time around:
Please list the WP:THREE sources that would enable this person to meet notability. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
In my list of sources, I have included one book not associated with the subject (The Gospel Truth), an online resource not associated with me (GOSPELflava), though my Journal of Gospel Music has been cited on Wikipedia by others in the past, a newspaper (Union News Daily), and two online news sources (Nj.com and northjersey.com). Are none of these sources enough to determine notability?
The other question is, where do I list the WP:THREE sources in the body of the article, and are any of the references cited considered one of these three sources? If not, do the three sources need to be paper-based?
I apologize for my confusion – I have seen Wikipedia articles with only three references get published and I have provided more than 20 and can’t seem to get through the system!
Best regards, Bob Marovich
24.136.10.218 (talk) 19:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
- General comments. Use the Draft talkpage to list your best sources. We have several thousand Draft pages waiting so wading through 20+ sources is not a good use of time when the WP:N is not obvious. Quality of sources, not quantity is important. Sources do NOT need to be paper, and online sources are much easier for us to check. I'll look at the page for you now. Legacypac (talk) 19:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
19:18:56, 7 March 2019 review of draft by Scott8905
Our content was reviewed and denied. So I had a question about how we can get our specific content up as a separate article. Our office, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, is mentioned on the United States Attorney Wikipedia page, but there are significant differences between the US Attorneys (USA) office and the Executive Office for US Attorneys (EOUSA). It was recommended that we add our content to the EOUSA section of the United States Attorney page. I would submit that adding this content would cause confusion to readers since US Attorneys and EOUSA have different responsibilities and perform different roles withing the Department of Justice. EOUSA provides support with respect to policy and guidance to all 94 US Attorneys' offices including overseeing their budget, but EOUSA does not make decisions affecting civil or criminal cases. US attorneys are the chief Federal law enforcement officers in their district. They lead investigations and direct the prosecution of criminal and civil cases on behalf of the Federal government. The Director of EOUSA oversees the evaluation of those offices, supervising the operation of the Office of Legal Education, the Attorney General’s Advocacy Institute and the Legal Education Institute and much more as our submission provides. Thirdly, US Attorneys are appointed by the President of the United States and have to go through the Senate confirmation process, while the Director of EOUSA is selected by the Attorney General.
Though I would agree that referencing EOUSA on the US Attorneys Wikipedia page would provide the reader a basic understanding of who US Attorneys work with regarding Department of Justice policy and guidance. I would reiterate that having all the information about EOUSA on the US Attorneys Wikipedia page may cause confusion to the readers since the responsibilities and leadership roles differ greatly. To have a separate EOUSA page linked to the content on the US Attorneys and the Department of Justice’s Wikipedia pages would provide readers a separate resource focused specifically on the function and responsibilities of EOUSA and avoid confusion with the duties of the US Attorneys.
Lastly, other Federal agencies have pages devoted to specific offices, bureaus and divisions. Please see examples under the following:
1. United States Department of Justice under Offices - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice#Offices 2. United States Department of State under Organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_State#Organization show a number of different offices/bureaus with their own pages. 3. United States Department of Agriculture under Organization, budget, and tasks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture#Organization,_budget_and_tasks 4. United States Department of the Interior under Operating Units - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_the_Interior#Operating_units
These are just some examples of pages that reference other offices who have their own dedicated page.
Should I resubmit for someone to review? Or, what would be the next steps to get a separate posted. Previous reviewers did not have an issue with the being a separate article. They provided other input with respect to adding more specific references about the content pulled directly from Justice.gov's website.
Any direction and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

- I was the one who suggested that it belongs on the other page but if a seperate page explains the difference between the titles that is fine. If you include material from gov published sources that is fine and copyright free but be sure to very clearly label the source and comment on ten talkpage. Executive Office for United States Attorneys already exists as a title but it is currently a redirect. You can just replace the redirect with the new article. You don't need us. Clink the link to the Executive Office page, scroll to the top, and click the redirected from link. Then paste over the # REDIRECT. Thanks for helping improve the coverage on Wikipedia of the DOJ.

Hello, thank you for your feedback and input. I was wondering if social media sites might increasingly count as 'reputable' sources. There is plenty of coverage over facebook, linked in and youtube. Impact Profile can be downloaded and used and so on. My point is that it's out there and has a lot of coverage, it seems perfect for wikipedia article! Thank you again for everything you do.
RimaPOD2018 (talk) 10:15, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- RimaPOD2018, please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Facebook and YouTube are not considered reliable because reliable sources e.g. NYT, BBC, WaPo, NBC also self-publish as well as publishing videos on such sites, making references to them unnecessary.

12:24:24, 8 March 2019 review of draft by Catoco
Trying to fully verify sources, but some information was gathered directly from band members, through messenger and email, not a published article. How can I site this source?
Catoco (talk) 12:24, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Catoco: Unpublished information may not be included in Wikipedia articles. Putting it in would violate one of the pillars of the encyclopedia, verifiability. It's common for Wikipedia articles to present an incomplete picture of a subject (in the sense of lacking some information that a reader might like to know). That's okay if there is no reliable published source for the information.
- If you're close enough to your subject to be emailing and instant messaging them, you probably have a conflict of interest. Be sure to disclose the nature of any connection. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Request on 16:00:15, 8 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Scott8905
Our content was reviewed and denied. Since we disagree with the reviewer's reason, should we resubmit? The individual who denied our content recommended that our content be added to the United States Attorney Wikipedia page. Though our content is written about very briefly on the United States Attorney Wikipedia page, adding information about the Executive Office for US Attorneys (EOUSA) does not make much sense to us since the roles of US Attorneys and EOUSA are very different. For example, the responsibilities of EOUSA is to provide support with respect to policy, guidance. and budget to the 94 US Attorneys offices including. EOUSA does not make decisions affecting civil or criminal cases. On the other hand, US Attorneys are the chief Federal law enforcement officers in their district. They lead investigations and direct the prosecution of criminal and civil cases on behalf of the Federal government. Additionally, US Attorneys are appointed by the President of the United States and have to go through the Senate confirmation process, while the Director of EOUSA is selected by the Attorney General.

These are just some examples of pages that reference other Federal agencies who have dedicated pages specific to offices within their Department who perform a specific function.
Previous reviews of our content did not make the same recommendation for our content to be added to the US Attorney Wikipedia page, their only suggestions were to add more specific references to the content that was directly pulled for the Department of Justice's website. Any insight and direction would be greatly appreciated.

- Hi Pequena Princesa. YouTube can be a reliable source sometimes. See Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites for a fuller discussion of the problems with YouTube as a source. What is perhaps more relevant in this case is that being on YouTube does not help establish that a person is notable (suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Nor is it usually worth mentioning in an encyclopedia biography, unless the presence on YouTube has been discussed in mainstream media (think Billboard, Rolling Stone, Slant Magazine, and the like). --Worldbruce (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

- @117.234.121.8: - this individual does not meet the requirements for musician notability. You can add loads of sources, but you just end up duplicating the same issue. Lots of sources don't cover him at all, which makes them rather pointless.
- There is, in fact, a notability grounds that covers performing in films etc - criterion 10:
- Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
- However, there are two main flaws. 1) Your own source indicates that he was just a playback singer for one of the tracks. To qualify under this ground he'd need to be the primary singer for the whole film's music. 2) As the grounds says, this is currently his own claim, so it makes more sense to add him to the film's article, rather than generate a new article just for this.
- He may in the future perform more and surpass both of those issues, but at this point, that has not been satisfied.
- Finally, what do you mean by "English Wikipedia Helpline"? We have several help groups - chats, boards, email etc, but I've not heard of that one.

I recently discovered this small and interesting up and coming band called Cvlt Ov The Svn. I fell in love with their music and wanted to honor them by creating a Wikipedia article about them so that others can find all and any information about them in a concise format on a well known website. The thing is, this band is brand new, and there's no information about them aside from their social media pages. There are only a few web articles that have been made about them but they all say the same thing. I was informed that social media is not a valid source of information for a Wikipedia article so I took all necessary information from one of these articles. As I then submitted my draft for review I was told that this isn't the type of article Wikipedia desires. Despite the fact that there are plenty of articles about even more trivial subjects, with no sources stating where the information is from, I was told that this isn't good enough.
I just wanted to make a Wikipedia article about this cool band that I discovered. But my requests were denied. For what reason? Because the editor who happened to review it decided so? Because it's not what Wikipedia wants? Because who would care about some no-name band? Well let me tell you. I care.

22:40:21, 10 March 2019 review of draft by Mkukuchka
Need clarification on my submission of Brian B Springer. First is it being treated as an article or a biography? It's a biography and I patterned it from another on Manny Marroquin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manny_Marroquin
"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, 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). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
Does he need to be the subject of interviews from studio executives, or others he has worked with? I included references listing him from Billboard, and other books.

Good morning Sir, I am the Public Affairs Officers of the NATO Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. I wrote Draft:Salvatore Camporeale's draft and I always tried to modify it by following your suggestions. You tell me that the text is copied from the Resolute Support website https://rs.nato.int. However, I ask you to approve my draft for the following reasons:
- I modified the draft by quoting the source from which I got the information (ie the Resolute Support website);
- I modified the text as much as possible, but better than that I can not do because it is a short biography of General Camporeale;
- in my opinion there is no copyright infringement because I am the Public Affairs of Resolute Support Missione, I am the webmaster of the Resolute Support website and I wrote the biography of General Camporeale which is published on https: // rs. nato.int.
Please, I ask you, kindly, to help me write the draft in order for it to be published.

- @Savithashanmugam: Copyright isn't the only issue. You need to provide in-line citations to at least three professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically and primarily about Kamalakannan but not affiliated with him, not dependent upon him, and not connected to him in any way.
- Soundcloud is not a professional-publishing site, it is user generated. At any rate, an interview with him is not independent. The same goes for his Vimeo video.
- This blog is also user generated. Don't bother citing blogs, the general rule is that they're not considered reliable (the exceptions to that rule are so rare that there's no point in looking for reliable blogs).
- His production company's website is not independent.
- The rest of the sources only mention him in passing. They are not specifically and primarily about him. There's a potential case that the movie Madhubaanakadai might be notable, but not Kamalakannan.

After the helpful comments from DGG, all concerns raised were explicitly addressed, specifically showing significant coverage about Siraj's work in published, reliable, secondary sources (including a standalone piece in Forbes[1], among several others), as well as showing evidence that the scientific works referenced in the Wikipedia page is attributable to Siraj, given his first authorships. It is therefore puzzling what about the entry does not meet notability guidelines. It is also worth mentioning that Siraj appears in the Wikipedia entry on 'Oumuamua and on interstellar objects. Interstellar objects are a brand new field of astronomy; one of Siraj's works has pioneered the study of trapped objects, and another work has become one of the most-read[2] Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society.

- Step 1) Turn off your caps lock.
- Step 2) Provide In-line citations to professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically and primarily about Karen Hoyos International but completely independent of and not affiliated with KHI.
- The sources you cited do not meet that standard. They are either about a walk that Karen Hoyos participated in (with no mention of KHI), or they're affiliated sources (such as this press release). They are also just tacked on to the end, so nothing that's actually said in the draft is verified.
- I recommend you start over, following these very simple instructions. If you follow those, the article will be approved with no trouble. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:03, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- @April2019: Responding to similar query found at the Teahouse. Not to dash anyone's hopes, but based on the sourcing that is there now, and what I was able to find with a simple Google search, there's not enough media coverage for Karen Hoyos International or Ms. Hoyos for an article.

Hi Ian,
Reference 3 clearly sites Bethel Assembly of God Church. How many reference do I require to get the page approved — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emilkpaul (talk • contribs) 01:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Emilkpaul: Ok, yes, the horse club reference does mention the church just once in one line (out of dozens) on one page (out of dozens again). That reference is not primarily about the church and it provides no real information about it whatsoever, so it's just as much dead weight as the other sources. You still need at least three sources that are specifically and primarily about the church.
- Again, if you just follow these simple steps, the article will be ready in no time. This will also prevent the next concern that will come up: promotional and non-neutral language.

I did not submit this. My original article for Jack Cook was erased. This is illegal censorship against Federal Laws on non discriminatory tax deductions used for non profit donations to Wiki Foundation.
- @144.178.14.10: - firstly, per No Legal Threats - if you make legal threats against either Wikimedia or another editor, you have to pursue those actions in the courts. They cannot be pursued on-wiki - any non-retracted legal threat is grounds for a block while legal action is ongoing.
- I assume you are referring to Jack Cook - where you attempted to create a disambiguation page without the pages it would link to actually existing yet? Disambig pages only really need to exist once you're up to three articles (not drafts).
- With respect to this specific draft, it doesn't meet WP:GNG. The two sources are only one, as they are duplicates. The one source is questionable, as it doesn't actually cover Jack himself in a great deal of detail.
- Believing that your draft did not meet our article requirements is not an act of censorship. Look for more sources in reliable secondary forms that cover him in detail. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:14, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I do not understand this decision.
The last time the article was rejected declined for quality reasons, which are now fixed.
The article describes an ongoing event series that has been running since 2010. Thousands of people attended the events. They have/had media partnerships with major German sports streaming (ran) and the most widely distributed tabloid (Bild), they get reported in general German-language newspapers -- about 10 media mentions are already linked in the article -- there are a lot more, of course. So at least I think there is sufficient media coverage. What exactly is missing for notability?

I think the .350 Legend is the hottest new caliber since 6.5 Creedmoor, but since it's had even more advance buzz and enthusiasm than 6.5 Creedmoor, it may even surpass the 6.5 Creedmoor to be the hottest new caliber of this century! There are already rifles, barrels, and uppers in .350 Legend available from CMMG, Winchester, Match Grade Machines, etc. Was I just too early in creating the article, considering .350 Legend ammo won't be available until April (even though you can pre-order it now at MidwayUSA)? By the way, someone already added .350 Legend to the Wikipedia article List of AR platform calibers, so I'm sure someone else will create an article for .350 Legend, but it sure seems a waste if they start from scratch and disregard my research and that of User:Cavalryman V31 about .350 the Legend.
Gato63 (talk) 13:27, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Gato63: - hi there. There's a couple of issues with this draft that led to it being declined.
- The first of these is that we usually loop products into their overall company's page, unless their company page has been getting too long. Winchester's page isn't too long, and this article isn't too big, so it could reasonably be included in that.
- It also is somewhat promotional, giving a positive viewpoint of it without sufficient consideration of pros and cons. This is probably somewhat linked to the next point.
- Finally, it doesn't have sufficient independent (ruling out the Winchester sources), secondary (ruling out Saami's), reliable and in-depth (probably ruling out shooting illustrated, as the long quote from Winchester won't count) sources. Obviously you'd imagine it would gain more coverage after it comes out. You'd need fewer sources to support it as a section of Winchester's page, which would let you resolve several of your issues at once. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Request on 14:07:32, 12 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Ezubanova
Hi there,
I am looking for help on understanding why my draft Wiki article has been rejected and what changes I can make in order for it to accepted once I resubmit. A reason given for the rejection was that the references provided did not provide 'significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject'. The subject of my article was 'Beyond Analysis', the data analytics management consultancy. Here is a list of the references I used: https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud/supplier/703715 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06059028 https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=42461664 https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/news/37551/beyond-analysis-enters-the-australian-market-with-acquisition-of-enzyme/?export=print https://www.realwire.com/releases/Visa-Europe-invests-in-Beyond-Analysis-to-strengthen-data-analytics-capabilities https://www.research-live.com/article/news/beyond-analysis-buys-out-visas-shares/id/5018152 https://www.research-live.com/article/news/stw-invests-in-beyond-analysis-australia/id/4009383 https://www.consultancy.uk/news/14640/pwc-partners-with-beyond-analysis-to-bolster-data-visualisation-offerings https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/beyond-analysis-scoops-top-data-analytics-award-for-delivering-incremental-value-by-putting-customers-at-the-heart-of-a-major-retail-business-198764971.html https://www.information-age.com/uks-top-50-data-leaders-2017-123465710/ https://www.dataiq.co.uk/dataiq100-17 https://www.sme-news.co.uk/2018-beyond-analysis
I would just like a bit more of an indication as to why some of these references (and which ones) do not match the criteria. Are the sources not reliable enough? Is the coverage not significant enough? Do press releases on the exact subject of the article (a company) not qualify as references? Or is it something else?
Any help would be much appreciated. I believe the name of the page is currently 'Draft: Beyond Analysis' so if you are able to, please have a look through the page to get a better idea of how to answer my question.
Many thanks.

hi, i have been trying to get this page approved for some time. Steve Carver is a legit artist- in addition to his painting and shows, his work has appeared in numerous magazines and publications. My references include the new york times magazine, the LA times magazine, Wired magazine.
one issue with referencing artists, especially covers and other pages that they have illustrated, is that the digitized version of the issue often omits the reference to the artist, instead only the text of the article has been digitized. Perhaps you are aware of this issue?
I am hoping that you can reconsider publishing the page for Steve Carver, given the numerous reference that I have been able to include?

The reason for this is because I have done my best to ensure its accuracy, and ensuring that the information on it is as up to date as possible in regards to what we in academic circles now know about Ernest Hemingway. Unfortunately, this has proven hard as some facts about Hemingway which have not been disputed since 1987 clearly do not match the image some of my fellow wikipedia editors have of the man. Any attempt to introduce this, once again well established, information is met with near immediate deletion regardless of how well cited and researched it is. I am including below a copy of the edit, along with the citation, that has now been deleted. You will notice that I am careful and respectful in my speech, making sure to make no direct claims about Hemingway, and instead only provide an brief literature review of the perspectives that exist on the subject of his gender expression and his mental health.
If you wish to keep Wikipedia as factually true as possible, instead of it becoming a place where truth is treated as political, it is my belief you need to restore my edit, and ensure its future protection from those who have an agenda to further. Blow you will find a copy past of the most recent version of my edit. This edit was originally listed as a sub-subcategory, specifically section 1.11.
- @ErnestBaum: This is a place to discuss rejected articles for creation. The discussion about Ernest Hemingway and the content you added that was reverted [[3]] should be on that article's talk page. TechnoTalk (talk) 20:36, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

I am attempting to understand the nature of "independent" sources when identifying the "notability" of the subject of an elementary school. Specifically, in this case, there are a number of published sources that identify Discovery Elementary as the largest zero-energy elementary school in the country, the first in Virginia, and one of the largest in the world. The citations at the bottom are individual references, and are independent of the school. What would be an appropriate reference source, if these items do not qualify? Looking forward to learning more!

- Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES there is almost nothing you can add that shows an elem school is notable. You can expand the article on its school district with details on the individual school. Legacypac (talk) 04:06, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

- @Alban0l0gy: - if nothing else, the lack of independent and reliable sources is sufficient to prevent any chance of acceptance. There also needs to be significantly more content (What does it do, its history, its successes and problems etc) and it needs to be less promotional. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:21, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Why has my created Zee Keralam page been declined? All information related to the page are given here with evidences. Currently, there are no page is exist on Wikipedia for Zee Keralam. That's why I have created this page. Kindly check it again & approve for general public, who depends on Wikipedia for collecting information. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Zee_Keralam
- As I said on the draft "Comment: To get this page approved you need to go to WP:DRV and make your case why it should be restored or this draft approved because the title is create protected" Only an Admin can help you and DRV is the place to ask. I think they will say no. Legacypac (talk) 06:05, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
