00:45:30, 23 May 2019 review of draft by Jenoa9


I have a draft page in for review by the editors but I want to know how to move the CONTENTS box. It is too high. Thanks for all your help!

13:47:06, 23 May 2019 review of draft by Gilcrease1227


Gilcrease1227 (talk) 13:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused as to why it keeps getting turned down for reading like an advertisement. I've frequented other pages based on other entrepreneurs and there's read the same way. Basically I'm not entirely certain how you can make a page for an entrepreneur without it sounding like an advertisement. Especially when they already have an established wikipedia page for their business. Are there any tips as to how it can be fixed because it seems subjective as to why it keeps getting declined.

Thanks!

16:47:22, 23 May 2019 review of submission by Ryan Mindo


My article was rejected due to lack of cited sources to indicate notability. I'm a little unclear on what this means. I guess I just need a solid definition of what you guys consider "notable" so I can work on getting reviewed, etc, by the right people and organizations.

Ryan Mindo (talk) 16:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ryan Mindo. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) explains the notability guidelines with respect to companies. Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:58, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

21:15:42, 23 May 2019 review of submission by Bigzeus

I dont understand why "This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." Have you ever tried to type in Google and/or in Youtube at least once "sonoff firmware", "sonoff installation", "sonoff smart home" ? And the community projects "sonoff tasmota", "sonoff esp easy", "sonoff arduino" ? many people work on those projects.

Could it be that... the problem is only that the manufacturer is Chinese? and is it not a good historical moment?

My 2 cents, from an italian guy

A.

@Bigzeus: - AfC reviewers aren't required to go hunting for sources - the issue is the state of sourcing that it currently has. All the current sourcing is either non-independent (company site, etc) or non-reliable (like Wikipedia, if it's generally editable, it isn't reliable). I actually did some searches of the primary company name and didn't get sufficient to satisfy the "in-depth/reliable/independent/secondary" requirements. Remember that companies have higher notability requirements than most articles.
Please don't start implying that our reviewers are racist until you have cast-iron evidence that is the case. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:02, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

22:54:12, 23 May 2019 review of submission by LOBOSKYJOJO

Thank you. I wish to request for pointers in creating articles if possible. LOBOSKYJOJO (talk) 22:54, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LOBOSKYJOJO. See Wikipedia:Your first article. Successful article creation generally requires considerable experience making constructive edits to existing articles, and a good grasp of policies and guidelines. Your contribution history suggests that you may not be adequately prepared to create new articles. It might be to your advantage to make more small improvements, see Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. Or if English is not your first language, you may feel more comfortable contributing to a different language version of Wikipedia, there are many others to choose from. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:30:28, 24 May 2019 review of draft by IronDerBear414


IronDerBear414 (talk) 03:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I created an article for a successful a cappella group from Ann Arbor, MI, called Skyline Blues. They are very successful and have been the subject of multiple news articles from valid organizations at the district, city, and state levels, as well as national a cappella newsfeeds. They have been featured on regional television and competed at national-level competitions, all of which are cited. I am confused because there are many a cappella and other musical groups whose articles have been accepted which have not achieved similar levels of success or recognition.

Organizations that have published articles, listings, or broadcasts featuring Skyline Blues include: - AAPS District News, the Ann Arbor Public Schools newsfeed - WeLoveAnnArbor, a local news publication from Ann Arbor, Michigan - MLive, a statewide Michigan news organization - WDET Channel 7, regional television programming based in Detroit - FloVoice, a national a cappella news publication affiliated with FloSports, Inc. - Varsity Vocals, the parent organization that oversees the ICHSA, the ICCA, and the Aca-Open - Acaville Radio, an Oregon-based radio station specializing in a cappella music and commentary

I feel like this is a fairly credible group of publications and I would like to know why my submission was declined.

Hi IronDerBear414. The draft has been declined three times in a row because you are not using inline citations. For example, the draft states, "Skyline Blues often establishes a theme that can be seen throughout their ICHSA competition sets." Which of the 54 general references says that? --Worldbruce (talk) 06:46, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is helpful thank you

Dolphin Scholar (talk) 08:22, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


I have made changes based on the feedback. I would appreciate it if you can review this piece and decide if it's worthy of publication.

Many thanks

@Dolphin Scholar: - two notes.
Usually if you've had to improve an article post a decline/rejection then you need to resubmit it (in the case of a rejection we can help with that) - we can't do immediate re-reviews, which are mainly limited to checking a previous reviewer was correct
In your case, your sources still don't actually discuss Awards International itself in enough detail. Being referenced or used as a source about other companies is not enough. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:17, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Creativefabien (talk) 11:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


I created an info page for the first time - and got rejected It's under the Fabien Lainé name - could you please provide me help or explanation?

@Creativefabien: - the easiest way to get specific feedback on a review is to go to the reviewer's talk page (User talk:Theroadislong). However, I'll have a go in it in anycase,
The draft (which is presumably about you) is very advertorial, reading somewhere between a CV and an advert. Wikipedia requires neutrally written encyclopedic content. If you do have a connection (or are) the individual, please don't write about them - this is a clear demonstration of how a connection makes it hard to write neutrally.

Request on 12:17:13, 25 May 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by SvenskDJ

Hi, I don't understand why my article was denied. Everything that is written about the artist Globina is correct. What kind of prove to you need? Also there are many secondary sources for her being a musician, such spotify, beatport, soundcloud, facebook, Instagram and other sources where her single is sold. She has also trademark for her artistname Globina in Sweden. Please assist me and help me in this. Thanks and kind regards

SvenskDJ (talk) 12:17, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SvenskDJ. It was declined because the cited sources are not independent of her. None of the sources you listed above would be independent, nor would they be secondary sources. An independent source would be something like Svenska Dagbladet or Sydsvenskan. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources lists sources other Wikipedians have found useful in writing about music. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently my article was declined, but Casseopea didn't say why. Please elaborate.

Basaintl Hi, Good day. Comment could be found on the grey panel on top of the draft page Draft:HEB Tennis Center, and if you click on the blue highlighted texts, it will lead you to another page for more detail information. In brief, an article could make it to Wikipedia main space if the subject is notable and the content needs to be verified by multiple independent, reliable sources which the source talk about the subject in length and in dept and not only passing mentioned. You draft was declined because it did not meet the requirements above. Please read WP:GOLDENRULE for further information. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

23:15:28, 26 May 2019 review of submission by BananaSlug

I am so confused. I read this article: Quantum mysteries dissolve if possibilities are realities and wanted to learn more about Ruth E. Kastner, the lead author of the recent paper Taking Heisenberg’s Potentia Seriously. I started with a Google search, expecting her Wikipedia article to be near the top of the results, it was not so I went to Wikipedia and searched for her name. The closest result was an article about a field apparently related to her work Transactional interpretation. That page contains a stub link to her nonexistent page.

I followed a link about requesting that page be created. I do not see a way to do that. As near as I can tell, I am being encouraged to create a draft for that page. I feel totally unqualified to do that. After all, I came to Wikipedia to learn who Dr. Kastner is. Or is the notion that I create a blank page with her name on it, and hope that someone more knowledgable than I comes along and fixes it?


BananaSlug (talk) 23:15, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BananaSlug. The main page for requesting that an article be written about something is Wikipedia:Requested articles. I've had mixed success requesting articles there: Ralph Harris (journalist) (requested 2015, written 2016), Hinners Organ Company (requested 2016, written 2018, but likely created by someone who never saw my request), Lawrence Ziring (requested 2017, not written yet), all topics I've been too busy to create myself. It's a slow process, and only works if the requester has a solid grasp of Wikipedia's notability (inclusion) criteria. Wikipedia doesn't try to have articles about everything that exists, only about things that have attracted significant attention from the world at large and over a period of time.
Looking at Kastner's publication history in Google Scholar - one book and one published journal article, with others at various stages of peer review and available only as pre-prints, it's unlikely that she meets WP:PROF at this point in her career. If you can find three independent, reliable, secondary sources that prove she does, go ahead (request an article or write a two-sentence one yourself). but if you can't find three, do nothing. If and when she clears the bar of notability, someone is bound to write about her here. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:26, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CASSIOPEIA,

Many thanks for your suggestion. Actually I did click on the "Resubmit" button you mentioned but instead of giving me a confirmation of submission, it takes me to the page with the following title -

<<Editing Draft:Widow of Silence (new section)>>

So I am not sure if the article is now being reconsidered. Is there a way to confirm this?

Also many thanks for your Talk-page. It looks like a place where I can learn lots of new things!

22:08:40, 27 May 2019 review of submission by 89.164.167.75

My article was rejected as it does not show significant coverage... Many current Wikipedia articles on Croatian architects don't show significant coverage (especially in English) see for example Hinko Bauer and Nikola Bašić yet no one should question their notability. Ivan Vulic (along with several other major Croatian architects) was mentioned in Vasko Lipovac and Split Airport article so I decided to submit short article about him. Croatian architects are generally poorly represented on Wikipedia and those that are have poorly written and referenced articles. 89.164.167.75 (talk) 22:08, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

23:50:07, 27 May 2019 review of draft by AminNash


Thank you for taking the time to review my draft.

I am writing an article on Evelyn Shakir's "Remember Me to Lebanon". The book was published by Syracuse Press in 2007 and won the Arab American book award in 2008.

I referenced a link to the Award website on my page.

My article was rejected due to references. Here are links to scholarly articles that discuss the book:

http://ccl.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search-proquest-com.ccl.idm.oclc.org/docview/897936818?accountid=10141

These are from ProQuest and there are also articles available on JSTOR and World Cat.

Please instruct me on how to properly add these references to the article. This book has been studied and I am trying to write this article without any sense of bias.

AminNash (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AminNash. The draft already uses the template {{cite web}} to cite one source. I've added examples of how to use other templates in the same family, {{cite news}} and {{cite journal}}, to cite the Boston Globe obituary and a JSTOR article, respectively. ProQuest urls are not very useful in citations because they are library-specific, and few Wikipedia readers use the same library as you. A free url is available for the obit, so I've used that instead of the ProQuest url. The MELUS article is also on JSTOR, so it can be cited in the same way as Modern Fiction Studies. For the thesis, use the {{cite thesis}} template and leave the url blank (sources needn't be available online). I hope that helps. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:04, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Worldbruce (talk)

Hi Worldbruce,

Thanks for the details as well as the instructions for citing the articles properly. Also, thanks for locating the free URL for the ProQuest links - I didn't know that they were library-specific.

I'll try to make the appropriate edits to the article as well as locate some better sources.

Thanks again - AminNash (talk)

I'm requesting help to see how to make an entrepreneur's wiki page not sound like an advertisement. I saw that Alli Webb redirected to Drybar and figured she'd be an easy wiki to start with since I'm a new editor. All the similar entrepreneur pages I've seen could subjectively read like advertisements and I'm currently stating facts relating to things Alli Webb has created. Are there suggestions on which items should be taken out or make it seem like an advertisement? Currently, I'm unsure what it means if I'm just talking about things she's made.

Thanks for any advice!

07:04:06, 28 May 2019 review of submission by Arno.

I just want to use this space to express my disappointment in the editing process of wikipedia. I tried to add a page about a major mountain in a major US national park. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Corkscrew_Peak). There are literally dozens and dozens and dozens of independent articles about it on Google. But the article was rejected because the article is not notable enough.

I used to be an early contributor, but stopped contributing in 2006, because the layers of bureaucracy was becoming a burden, and was making it difficult for me to actually add content. I feel saddened to see that this problem has not been fixed, but on the contrary seems to have increased.

I still wish best of luck to Wikipedia which is an amazing project.

Arno. Greetings. As I have explained to you on my talk page twice, multiple sources are needed. All you would is to add them. The page has been accepted b other editor and I have added the sources for you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:55, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(ec)Hi Arno, it took two contributors about 15 minutes to add a handfull of sources to your draft to make it a perfectly acceptable stub article. You as the original author are expected to add at least a few good references. Don't give up so easily. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you CASSIOPEIA and Dodger67 for helping me finish the article. I didn't understand the explanations at first. They were pointing to at least 4 different documentation pages. That is pretty daunting. I wish there was a "simple" version of the instruction set that could be provided to new contributors.

Hello, I am requesting a re-review of this page because I have edited it to the best of my ability to meet my earlier editor's suggestions, who declined the page for not meeting Wikipedia's notability standards. I have made several edits to the page to meet this standard:

  • Regarding the two citations that note basic company data, I have clarified that these numbers reference the Company's 10-Q form with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is factual as it is filed with the SEC, submitted to governmental review and subject to auditing.
  • I have also clarified that the sixth citation references an industry trade magazine's independent rankings of the industry, based on analysts' which cover the space's opinions.
  • In order to add additional notable citations, I have added a new subsection to the history section, titled "other milestones". This section covers large milestones in the company's development, which were covered in dedicated pieces by large national real estate magazines and newspapers, including Commercial Property Executive, GlobeSt, and IPE Real Assets, as well as a broadly distributed news source Denver Business Journal.


After exchanging feedback with my former editor K.E.Coffman, I have worked to meet his expectations. As this is my first page, I am eager for any and all feedback regarding how I might improve the notability standards for this submission. I hope that my edits have supported the page. Thanks very much. Aislinnlily (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi could you assist in explaining why my article submission is "Contrary to the Wikipedia" so I can make the necessary changes. Thank you

@Terrence Dewar: - as I said above, it's contrary to the purposes because it reads as an advert. As a secondary issue, it fails as a crystal ball - Wikipedia generally doesn't cover things that don't exist yet, as there is too much chance of circumstances changing before it actually comes into existence. This increases the longer the time scale is. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:31, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In relation to the draft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Antonio_Lepore

I wish I could solve the problem that I expose you here.

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately the situation is very complex.

I tried to insert my contribution on wikipedia italia but the administrators have gone crazy accused me of having defamed someone, of having written something fake etc. etc., I tried to convince that it was not like they said and I asked for help to wikipedia English but they proved to be accomplices of Wikipedia Italy and nobody defended me and nobody removed me the block that became global and on the IP address: 93.34.90.94


You can help me to remove the block of my original Antolepore account and the IP block: 93.34.90.94 so I can insert the text on Wikipedia Italy and then Wikipedia English.

Thank you

I don't believe this should currently be answered as the user appears to admit active Socking right here - I've raised an SPI case and notified. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:42, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

17:15:38, 28 May 2019 review of submission by Go art -X

hi is there a reviewer or writer who can in fact put forward my article, 'Yvonne Jones' it is about me, however it is also worthy of wiki Go art -X (talk) 17:15, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Go art -X: - we discourage autobiographies partly because it's very difficult to be neutral in them. However, there are more clearcut issues than neutrality ones here. Firstly, biographies must use inline referencces which link references to specific facts (the little blue numbers). Referencing for beginners can tell you how to do these. You also have a number of stated external links that don't actually link to anything, but would mostly be inappropriate if they did - your website could probably be justified but things like vimeo and youtube could not. You also need multiple reliable, independent in-depth references - I don't know what your first ref is like on this count (sounds promising), but your second (as your work) wouldn't count towards notability, though it might support certain non-controversial things. As a minor, but necessary point, you slip into the first person within the draft "my" etc, at a few points. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:53, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

07:05:51, 29 May 2019 review of draft by 86.13.186.156


why are new wiki submissions not reviewed in order of submission? Is there a policy wiki has for a target review time. It just seems unfair that it just says 'your article may take more than 2 months' without giving any more information.


86.13.186.156 (talk) 07:05, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As is says on the AfC banner at the top of the page, submissions are reviewed in no specific order. Some editors will start with the oldest, some will start with the newest and some will pick randomly. Because wikipedia is a volunteer service, editors donate time to the project, which means that it may be some time before this draft is reviewed. Unfortunately, I cannot give much more information on how long it will take, but I will have a look at it now. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 08:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

12:39:58, 29 May 2019 review of submission by E-Stylus

Would it be possible for an editor to take an initial look at this submission from March? I've noted notability references and my COI disclosure on the draft's talk page. While I understand that AfC is a volunteer effort and that there are currently 769 drafts in the "very old" category, this submission has not received an initial review like some of the other drafts in the category. Thanks. E-Stylus (talk) 12:39, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:45:46, 29 May 2019 review of draft by INeedSupport


So my AFC submission has turned 3 weeks old, which makes me a bit impatient. I understand that there are literally over 1,500 submissions that are older than mine that are still awaiting an acceptance or denial. I see that I have the ability to move it to main space and leave it to the new page reviewers to review it instead of AFC reviewers. However, I feared that it would ruin my reputation since I may not have fixed the issue the AFC reviewer mentions. Is it okay to move it to mainspace or I should wait until somebody reviewed my draft article? Thanks! INeedSupport :3 15:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe it meets WP:CORP guidelines like the previous reviewer mentioned, by all means, move it yourself. If you are still a bit skeptical, wait the 5 or so weeks for another review. JTP (talk • contribs) 19:50, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted a draft page to be published over 2 months ago - am I missing something to make this public?

Hi! I noticed that the current title for my article I just submitted currently redirects to the band's page. Will this be fixed if the article if accepted? If not, what do I need to add to the top of it to make sure it doesn't redirect? WildChild300 (talk) 21:58, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

22:11:18, 29 May 2019 review of submission by SlyKiinz

I do not understand why it was rejected. I would like feedback. I looked at tons of other articles published based on a person with A LOT less sources. It meets the qualifications. Please advise. SlyKiinz (talk) 22:11, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
