13:18:19, 10 May 2020 review of submission by Georgeko
Dear Wikipedia,
The reasons given for rejection are extremely broad. In order to consider an appeal or a rewrite, it would be helpful to understand what specific criteria the reviewer relied on to conclude that the article must be rejected.
Thank you.
Georgeko (talk) 13:18, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Georgeko. To know what was in the reviewer's mind, you really would need to ask the reviewer directly, but I'll try to explain what may have factored into their decision.
- Websites under sites.google.com are self-published, without editorial oversight. It is not clear who the author of the cited one is, what their credentials are, or whether they have any reputation for accuracy and fact checking. So it is not a reliable source and should not be cited by the draft. That leaves two sources: a page from a book, and a primary source research article in a journal. The general notability guideline advises that, "Sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." The reviewer indicated that the topic is not sufficiently notable to justify a stand alone encyclopedia article. They may have reached that conclusion because the draft cites a single secondary source of unclear depth.
- Being unsuitable for a stand alone article doesn't mean the topic can't be covered within an article on a broader topic. It might be suitable, for example, to say something about the variety in Penny (Australian coin). How much emphasis to give it there would best be discussed on that article's talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics.
- Rejection is meant to be final, to indicate that reviewers do not intend to review the draft again, no matter how much you revise it. There isn't really an appeal mechanism, because Articles for Creation is an optional process. You are asking for the advice of experienced Wikipedians. If you don't trust that advice, then as long as you don't have a conflict of interest, you're free to create the article directly in mainspace. Of course if the reviewer was correct, it will more likely than not be deleted, but that's the risk you run. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:53, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Dear Worldbruce,
Thank you for your very comprehensive explanation.
Please note that the draft article was based entirely on the arguments and evidence presented in a peer-reveiwed academic journal. The research underlying the journal article was also extensively footnoted. The google.sites reference (which also belongs to the author that wrote the journal article) was a minor point that referenced some further research that the author had recently conducted.
Within the very broad subject of numismatics there is a myriad of stand alone topics. For example, a search on "1930 Australian Penny" will generate more than 2.8 million hits on Google (including a plethora of academic sources) due primarily to its unique historical significance. There are hundreds of other similarly important coins that are likewise worthy of individual attention and cannot simply be scooped under a single general article on 'Australian coins'. That's like asking a historian to fit their article on Henry VIII under a single article on Kings and Queens of England.
While I appreciate the difficult tasks of reviewing new article submissions, I think the underlying problem here is that reviewers should not endeavour to apply policies and rules to subjects they are not themselves familiar with. I don't expect there to be an expert reviewer on every subject, but if you're not an expert then you should at least have the courtesy of offering the author the benefit of the doubt and asking for further information before deciding to reject.
Just a suggestion! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgeko (talk • contribs) 23:00, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Georgeko: I have no idea whether the reviewer of the draft is a numismatist or not. I'm not a professional one, but as a collector have a keen interest in the subject. The best place to get advice from Wikipedians who are involved in numismatics is Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics.
- The backlog of Articles for Creation drafts awaiting review was kissing 6 months as recently as last September. Despite as many as 445 new ones dumped on our desks every day, the backlog is now down to 7 weeks. Typically, two-thirds of all reviews are performed by a cadre of 10-20 reviewers. So as a practical matter, the amount of individual attention that each can receive is limited. Any ideas you may have about how to attract additional reviewers, specialist or otherwise, would be most welcome. It would be more effective to discuss process improvements at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation rather than at this help desk. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Android Wedakarayo is a top-level Tech media in Sri Lanka similar to TechRadar, TechCrunch. Therefore I thought it is very useful to publish a Wikipedia article that will be very useful to people who will search about them. if you search them on google as Android Wedakarayo, Android wadakarayo, androidwedakarayo, androidwadakarayo the results will be on the top.

Request on 19:44:15, 10 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Helen Puffer Thwait
- Helen Puffer Thwait (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hello,
I am a relative newcomer to Wikipedia, and have only completed one full article. I recently submitted a new article for review, and received a message indicating that another article with the same title (created by a different user) is waiting for review. That article was submitted about two months ago and rejected. (Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dewey_Johnson_(musician).) Given that the existing article has not been revised or resubmitted since being rejected, and since the article I am proposing contains the information in the existing article (plus a great deal more), what can I do to move things forward? If the person who created the existing article does not revise and resubmit it, does my article remain in limbo indefinitely? (Here is the link to my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Helen_Puffer_Thwait/Dewey_Johnson_(musician)) Is there any way to communicate with the creator of the existing article in order to ask if they plan to revise it?
Many thanks in advance for your help. I apologize for the "newbie" questions!
Regards,
Helen

So my article was first declined because it didn't contain enough citations, now it's declined because you can't use social media as reference even though that is where I got most of my information. Guess I'll just use the interviews, because what other people say about the band is better info than what the official band biography on their website says, but I guess yea, not my rules, this will have to do now. Am I wrong for thinking this doesn't make any sense?
I can give you a list of similar pages to the one I want to create that literally have 3 references, of the same kind as mine. I feel like my article is just dismissed because the reviewer is too lazy to actually read and inspect my changes. I would not be so insistent with this if I didn't put so much work in it. I just want to create good content and I feel like I am not taken seriously.
Thank you!
AlbastruMaria (talk) 20:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Other inappropriate articles existing does not mean that yours can exist too. See other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about. It seems that this band does not meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable band. If it does, you need to demonstrate that by providing independent reliable sources to show it, and the article should only summarize what those sources say. Social media and interviews with the band are primary sources and not acceptable for establishing notability. 331dot (talk) 20:30, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Can you give recommendations on a Book's wiki page? I think it's normal to have a page talk about a book, why it's written, and who wrote it. Especially in a case where the book is raising money to help fight a children's disease, I think the more awareness there is the better.
RaisingAHand (talk) 01:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest to find out why this article is a bad fit for wikipedia. You should wait for someone else to naturally document your book/cause. If you hire or direct someone else to create this page, they will need to disclose it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#howtodisclose and of course include other https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research#Forms_of_researchsecondary sources to avoid a summary of primary sources constituting original research. --TZubiri (talk) 06:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

TZubiri (talk) 06:38, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- TZubiri, What do you mean you'll be publishing it soon? If you mean you're going to move it out of draftspace, I must caution that the article is likely to be deleted or returned to draft. If you mean you're going to submit it back to the AfC process, it will probably get declined. The issue is that the subject does not appear to be notable, i.e. he's just an average dude, and thus we have no special reason to write about him. Also, the sourcing is insufficient. His own blog/website should not be used as a source, as it is not independent of the subject. Unless you can find multiple reliable and independent sources that discuss him in more than just passing mention, we cannot write about him. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 09:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Please help me so that my article can be approved Romario mohanty (talk) 07:24, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Romario mohanty I think you have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not social media for people to tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia, where articles about people must summarize what independent reliable sources like the news say with significant coverage say about people shown to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Wikipedia is not interested in what someone wants to say about themselves. It appears that you do not meet that definition, and no amount of editing can confer notability on you. It depends on the sources. In addition, please review the autobiography policy as to why writing about yourself is strongly discouraged here. A Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable as well. 331dot (talk) 08:50, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

- Ankit Krs Pandey, Your article had no proper references or inline citations. It also was informal and had [[WP:NPOV[[. The article has been rejected, which means that a fellow editor felt there is no chance that notability can be established. I would second this opinion. As such, your article will not be considered further.

- SylviaatRSG (talk · contribs) (TB)
I wonder if you would kindly look at the article for creation submission I wrote a few weeks ago. I have tried twice communicating with the editor that rejected the submission, and have gotten no response.
I believe a careful look at these three sources will demonstrate the notability of the subject:
https://www.michigandaily.com/section/soccer/michigan-alum-mission-popularize-soccer-states
https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/en/Journal/Issues/2019/03/25/Forty%20Under%2040/Sillman.aspx
The Michigan Daily source is exclusively about Sillman. Yes, it has some quotes from him, but those quotes do not make up the majority of the source. The Bizjournals source is also entirely about Sillman, with just a small number of quotes from him, especially compared to the length of the entire source. The source also contains quotes from other people that know Sillman, but not that many directly from him. The Sports Business Daily is a reliable source. Although it is short, it is entirely about Sillman, and only quotes him at the end with two short statements.
When these three sources are taken together, I believe there is a good case to be made that they constitute significant coverage from reliable sources. Please take another look. I hope you will agree with me that Daniel Sillman should have an article on Wikipedia. SylviaatRSG (talk) 10:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- SylviaatRSG, None of those sources are compelling. The first source is a student newspaper of a school that the subject is an alumni of. The second is bizjournals which has questionable reliability as many of their stories are sourced from press releases and in all likelihood it's paid for coverage. The third source I'm not familiar with, but a sports business publication has a very narrowly tailored audience and wouldn't do much in the way of demonstrating notability on a wider level.

Additional criteria
Alexey fulfills the first criteria in the additional criteria list: ("The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.")
1. He is the first Syrian to be awarded the Rhodes Scholarship, which is considered the most prestigious scholarship globally with previous scholars like President Bill Clinton and secretary Condoleezza Rice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes_Scholarship)
2. He has been granted an Exceptional Talent in Digital Technolgy visa from the UK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points-based_immigration_system_(United_Kingdom)#Tier_1_(Exceptional_Talent))
I have added more references and made some edits before asking this question I have also checked other Wikipedia articles about biographies of living people. This article for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sivarasa_Rasiah doesn't have references for every single statement
Can you please tell me what other things I can do to get the article published?
Nabila4535 (talk) 19:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hey @Nabila4535:, it looks like your submission was declined for two reasons, the fact that it reads like an advertisement and a lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. In addition, the article's formatting does not quite meet Wikipedia standards. (I've gone ahead and fixed that part for you though.) Phrases like "Youssef was genuinely interested in building the capacity of the healthcare and medical education systems" and "Youssef has always been driven by innovations." make the article sound like an advertisement, or like you're trying to promote the article's subject instead of stating facts about them. I personally don't see a huge problem with the sources, although external links are not sources. You should find a way to integrate facts from those pages into your article and then use those pages as sources just like you did for the others. @Lapablo: is a much more experienced AfC reviewer than I, however, so there may be a problem I'm just not seeing. Hope this helps. Squeeps10 Talk to meMy edits 20:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

In this case, I'm using the word to mean minor issues with formatting, although after going back through the article, I was only able to find two small issues, both of which I fixed.

21:15:38, 11 May 2020 review of draft by Evolarjun
Hi, I'm trying to revise and revive the AMRFinderPlus page. Editor Sam-2727 marked it for deletion some time ago. One of the criticisms was a lack of notability, and since it is (in my opinion) more widely used than several of the database pages I'm trying to figure out what kinds of citations to indicate notability. Sam-2727 indicated that the excessive use of the word "Curated" reads like a sales pitch, but to my reading it is a verb indicating who manages the data in the database. I changed one instance of the verb "curated" with "was created by and is maintained by", but it seems a bit awkward.
I'm also struggling to improve readability to a non-technical audience. I linked to wikipedia articles about a bunch of the topics. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm a newbie at this, so apologies for what are likely dumb questions, but for scientific databases I'm not sure how to improve the article to make it approvable.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Evolarjun (talk) 21:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hey @Evolarjun:, your sources don't seem too bad, though I'm far from an expert in microbiology. My primary issue with the page is the excessive amount of "technobabble", we don't need to know every little thing the database does/can do. But keep in mind that I can only understand roughly half the article, and the rest in incomprehensible to me. I'd suggest reading WP:RF. Hope this helps.

I feel the moderator Surfboy, is being overwhelmingly difficult, rude, short and not seriously considering the articles real story. A ACM or CMA nomination of any kind is hard to achieve, let alone win. This is part of country music and country radio history, and is deserving of a Wikipedia article, highlighting a notable person. This individual has verified accounts on Facebook, Twitter, google and tiktok as well, which shows he is of high public visibility and notability.
Smokethatskinwagon (talk) 23:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Smokethatskinwagon. The four major Academy of Country Music Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Song of the Year, are significant enough music awards that winning one is a good indication that the winner may be notable. People who win them invariably have been the subject of multiple, independent, in depth, reliable, secondary sources.
- You overestimate the significance, however, of the Academy of Country Music Radio Awards. Even winning "On-Air Personality of the Year - National" would be unlikely, alone, to convincingly demonstrate notability. Being nominated for "On-Air Personality of the Year - Small" (i.e. not in the top 100 markets) doesn't come close to making the nominee notable. And having verified social media accounts has nothing whatsoever to do with notability.
- Sulfurboy is correct (as are the four previous reviewers) that your topic is not suitable for a stand alone encyclopedia article. You way wish to consider alternative outlets for your writing, ones that have different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

I would really appreciate if you could help me point out what I need to work on this draft to make it better.
Thank you,
Qtd1103 (talk) 18:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Qtd1103. There are a few issues with this draft. For one, it is not written in an encyclopedic tone, as described at WP:TONE. It is written in an essay-like style, and addresses the reader in second person, as in
Therefore, if you are taking Ca supplements and eating calcium-fortified foods, you may get more Ca than what you need
. It also gives the reader medical advice, likecheck the label and consult your doctor first to determine which form of Calcium supplement is more appropriate for your health condition
, which is something Wikipedia should not do under any circumstances: see WP:NOMEDICALADVICE. Finally, much of the information in this draft is already covered in other articles, like Calcium_in_biology#Humans, Calcium metabolism, and Calcium metabolism disorders. If you are interested in these topics, I think it would be better to improve articles that already exist than to create a new one that contains a lot of the same information. You can check out WP:WikiProject Medicine for advice on writing medical articles. WP:MEDHOW and WP:MEDRS are very helpful. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 02:19, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

JCCB1898 (talk) 04:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi JCCB1898. To illustrate the problem, examine one sentence of Draft:James C. Critchell-Bullock: "In 1950, Bullock left England with his family to live in Kenya where he committed suicide on March 30, 1953 and was buried at the City Park Cemetery of Nairobi, Section 11, Lot 95."[1]
- What the archives finding aid that you cite for this statement actually says is: "Around 1949/1950, Bullock moved to Kenya, living at Mbagathi Ridge, Karen, Nairobi, where on 31 March 1953 he died, aged 54."
- The source says something similar to what you've written, but it differs in many particulars. You write that the move happened in 1950, whereas the finding aid says around 1949/1950. You say he moved with his family, but the source doesn't mention them. You say he committed suicide, but the source just says he died. You say he died a day earlier than when the source says. Finally, you say where he is buried, which isn't in the source. You must summarize the source in your own words to avoid infringing copyright, but in doing so you may not make statements that are not directly supported by the source.
- When you write "Sherborne is holding all the material, like letters and photos and from that content the wiki is made up of," do you mean that you got information from the primary source documents listed in the finding aid, rather than from the finding aid itself? If so, the accurate citation would be to the document, hypothetically: Daphne Critchell-Bullock (31 March 1953) Letter to The Explorer's Club, New York. James Charles Critchell Bullock Archive, Sherborne School. Box 2. Folder 4. "Yesterday my husband took his own life." Beyond the problem of accurate citation, there is the problem that Wikipedia articles should cite mainly secondary sources, they generally shouldn't cite primary sources. This is one of the major differences between academic writing and writing for an encyclopedia.
- If independent, reliable, third parties have written newspaper articles, magazine/journal articles, and/or books about Bullock, you may be able to salvage the draft by citing them and rewriting the text to summarize what they wrote. Editors could give you more targeted advice if you explained in a few words on your user page why you're interested in writing about Bullock, e.g. I'm an archivist for Sherborne School, I'm a relative of Bullock, I've written a book about Bullock, or whatever the case may be.

- If you wish to improve Wikipedia and your English, consider translating articles from the English Wikipedia to the Kiswahili Wikipedia. Biographies of notable people such as Charles Mangua, Yusuf Kifuma Chanzu, and Collins Ochieng are missing there. The English versions are short, and it should be easier for you to read them than it would be for you to write a new article in English.

There is nothing substantial wrong with the 'Graeme Baber' article. Every statement within it is referenced from web sources from which the truth of its content can be verified. Reviewers have been persistently critical on edits. The penultimate reviewer stopped the article on 1st May, and the final reviewer on 2nd May refused to re-review it and then delete if there is no change of view on the part of the then reviewers, as requested in the delete statement inserted after the penultimate review. One would think that one was trying to post this draft in 'The Lancet', rather than in the main on-line dictionary.
Please make the minor edits necessary to bring the current 'Graeme Baber' article into a suitable form for the draft to become a webpage within Wikipedia. With thanks.

- So you attempted to delete the article, but now want it added to mainspace? It sounds like you have some internal conflicts you might need to work out. In the meantime, a fellow editor has rejected the article which means they felt there is no shot of fixing the article enough to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia. As such, it will not be considered further. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

20:33:26, 13 May 2020 review of submission by SdearrSET
Hello I'm new: I'm trying to post an article about and for the company I work for as an objective answer to "who is Set Solutions". My rejection makes sense because the article was empty and poorly formatted, but I don't know what to compare to except for giant organizations like Optiv. Is there a minimum businesses requirement for references? I understand that I can't be impartial as an employee, but I thought that's what the community and moderators are for - how is the information verified which needs to be verified? The short statement on my submission is objectively correct, though I could just copy/paste from a press release on Yahoo if that's more helpful.

- SdearrSET First, you must review and comply with the paid editing policy; this is a Terms of Use requirement and mandatory. You should also review conflict of interest.
- Your draft was rejected, not just declined, which means that there is little to no chance that it can meet Wikipedia guidelines. You seem to have a common misconception about what Wikipedia is; it is not a place to merely tell about a company. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability; in this case, the definition of a notable company.(please read) Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others say about it. Because of this, not every company merits an article here, even within the same field. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Completely at a lost to understand how a submitted article fails the inline citation policy. The citations included are to sources like the New York Times and the Atlantic. From policy: "...they should be reliable; that is, credible published materials with a reliable publication process whose authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand."
Patterned this entry on about three dozen similar entries for other bishops in the Episcopal Church. Unclear what the substantive difference is.

I've been attempting to create a article on the company Merle Norman Cosmetics but it has been declined twice because of it being judged that it reads like an advertisement, but I didn't include puffery or use any non-cited material/statements that might cause that result.
When the article was declined the only feedback I received was that it "read like an advertisement" and not why or where it did. Could the article have a quick read-through to leave any recommendations or fixes to avoid it being declined for an advertisement again?
Thanks!
CTR117 (talk) 01:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- CTR117 It's promotional because it just tells about the company. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case, the definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 09:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Notable or not (probably not) the overriding issue is that the page is just a run of the mill advertisement for the hotel. If I had reviewed it I would have nominated it for WP:G11 as being unambiguously promotional. So, in essence, the rejection was probably a pretty friendly response.

It would be really useful to know how I can amend the article further to increase the objectivity of the tone of voice. I have removed some additional information which could be interpreted as subtly promotional (i.e. reference to the low-income context of Seddon's background - even though this is well sourced across a number of broadsheet media articles). But it would be good to get any further advice on how to improve the article further. I have ensured I have commented my changes so it's easier for reviewers to see where I have made edits, which may been missed previously due to a dearth of quality commenting on my part.
Thank you,

First Question: My chart was denied for "lack of context." If I am writing a page about the Hite Art Institute, what sort of information is needed to provide context for their department heads? Can I publish components as I go, or do I need to finish the whole page before I publish? I assumed the lacking context was that the page was submitted unfinished, but I wanted to make sure I understood before my content was declined again and deleted. Should I keep publishing items to my sandbox in order to keep them saved and then publish the page as a whole?
Second Question: I have drawn from a fair amount of unpublished historical information from first-hand accounts within the department. For instance, one professor wrote a log from the 1960s of how many classes were being taught, how many buildings we had, the local organizations involved, etc. This was kept as a record for the department, not published. How do I cite this? I have his name and the essay title, and I could find out the year that he wrote it, but again it was not "published" for the remaining portions of the citation.

I would like to know why my submission was declined.
The thing is Mooftsh is a social media news channel and it is bringing a lot of news (local and international) to the society in Kuwait through their accounts in different Social Media because most of the people are active in Social Media nowadays.
In the respond I got for this page was that there were not that enough references for this page. Because of this page is focusing mostly on bringing news through Social Media, there are not that many articles about it. Expect for the one where they won the best news page. The only trustful references and information is their social media accounts that I have added in External links.

- For starters, networthpost.org is not a reliable source. Furthermore, a single source is almost never enough. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, second sources containing significant coverage of their topic. The rejection of the draft is meant to convey that no such sources exist, so no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable.

Artemes (talk) 05:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Artemes. Each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by the community of editors who contribute there. So an article may satisfy the rules for the Spanish Wikipedia but not the English one, or vice versa.
- The quality of references is vastly more important than the quantity. You cite AVN, which is reliable, but you also cite Iafd and Wikipedia, which are not, and should not be cited. It's unlikely that wallofcelebrities.com is reliable either. You may find more guidance on sources at Wikipedia:WikiProject Pornography.
- For a biography of a living person, it won't be enough to simply list the references you used in writing the text. You can assume that almost every sentence of the draft is likely to be challenged (reviewers are a skeptical bunch), so must be supported by an inline citation to the source that supports it. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

And he has received India's young Achiever 2016, Included in the Forbes 30 under 30 finance list, He was mentioned in Forbes India maiden tycoons of Tomorrow list. So this is notable.

- Your only two articles are on a financial service and the proprietor of a financial service. You have now declared that you have no coi. My decline is not a veto. In fact, I think it fair that, if I decline to accept an article, another reviewer look at it the next time, to avoid any possible preconceptions or unconscious bias. So any other reviewer who wants to take responsibility can accept it. As advice, it's probably not a good idea for anyone to begin their wiki-career with an article about a er service or executive, or about a noncommercial organization or charity or school.

Yet since the Spanish article has been there for 4 years, why is an English language translation "a resume service" ?

Another thing to consider is that existence of an article doesn't mean that it meets the policies and guidelines, or that it should exist. It could be just that no one has gotten around to improving it or deleting it yet. You can try to find better sources and rewrite your effort to be more in line with the English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (see WP:FA for examples of high-quality articles). Or you can move on to something else. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Hey (talk) How does Wikipedia guard against unconscious bias ? Or does it ?
It is inevitable that editors will attribute greater value or significance to things that English language culture values, and derogate the value of significance of things that English language culture finds less valuable or important.
- If you think a page shows undue bias, you are welcome to tag it with WP:NPOV issues or discuss it on the article's talk page. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:48, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- @VarlamTikhonovich: WikiProject Countering systemic bias is entirely devoted to the issue. Many other projects, such as WikiProject Uruguay and WikiProject Islam, involve themselves in guarding against unconscious bias against particular groups. One of the most effective targeted efforts has been WikiProject Women in red. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

why was my article declined? I had correct spelling and punctuation. I was not given a real reason why my article was declined. can you please tell me how to fix my article? Alivia watkins (talk) 00:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC) Alivia watkins
- You were given a reason, are you not able to see the decline message at the top of the article?
- more precisely, you wrote an extremely negative unsourced article about an organization--an organization about which we already have a properly sourced properly balanced wikipedia article. It would be better to start with some subject about which it is easier to write a neutral article, and to always add references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements DGG ( talk ) 19:31, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Greetings
I have submitted 2 articles for approval however the articles can be found on google but I have not received any kind of message of approval requesting you to address my query.--Thoufiq313 (talk) 04:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

- Thoufiq313 The messages telling you that your drafts were accepted are on your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- 331dot Sir Some of the Drafts were accepted in my User draft page but for some, I did not receive any such kind of message. --Thoufiq313 (talk) 08:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thoufiq313 You have two drafts that have not been submitted for review. You will need to add {{subst:AFC draft}} to each draft(as you see it when reading this page, without the nowiki tags I placed in the edit window to suppress their function here) and then submit them. 331dot (talk) 09:13, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, This is my first article on Wikipedia. Can you please help me on what is required from my article to get it approved and get published. Or specifically on what information needs citations.

- The draft is a clear promotional piece for Mr. Dhawan. It reads as a resume and not an encyclopedia article. Please read Your First Article for more information, as well as WP:CITE for information on how to cite sources. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, the article was declined because it says it not of notability and YouTube and IMDb are not reliable sources. There are other sources that are not blogs or social media links, they’re articles available on google news. From what I understand, these are reliable sources are they describe the life and career of the person described in the article and they’re present on the news. Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
PLEASE READ THE ADDED REFERENCES, 11,12,13,14 to see if they qualify. thank you Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Knowledgenerd95 Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that the reviewer feels there is little to no chance it can be improved enough to meet Wikipedia standards. Please heed the advice you were given by the reviewers. 331dot (talk) 22:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I want to publish Ankit Prakash Singh page on Wikipedia because he's an Indian journalist and his page should be on Wikipedia. Iapsingh (talk) 23:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
