01:07:08, 23 December 2020 review of draft by Too Much Distractions


Hello, so i’m trying to write a page on Draft:Gawr Gura, and the reason it was declined was because of not enough reliable resources, and significant coverage. Which i understand, and will add later.

But on the talk page of the draft, the user BlinxTheKitty said that this page isnt for wikipedia: “This entire page isn't needed here, Vtubers are really unnotable and the reason for your page creation is to rival another existing page, along with the fact you upload their artwork to commons without a proper copyright notice.”

For the copyright image, i have removed it, but what about the topic? Is it really unneeded? One of the vtubers (Hoshimachi Suisei) in the same group (Hololive Production) is the only one that has an english wikipedia article, but a bunch of other vtubers in the same group already has wikipedia articles in japanese, including Gawr Gura.

Farhan Rijvi (talk) 10:03, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Farhan Rijvi You don't ask a question, but Wikipedia is not social media for people to post their resumes or otherwise tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia where we are interested in what independent reliable sources say about you, showing how you meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable person. Please also see the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 10:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:13:28, 23 December 2020 review of draft by Naradice


Thanks for the time to review the draft, and appreciate the feedback. I wanted to understand the relative comparison (if this is valid) around the validity of references that are present in other similar pages such as Geomag, Kinetic Sand, Kapla

Another question is that most independent articles of LaQ are written in Japanese - would these secondary references be accepted, given that they can't be independently verified by an English language speaker?


Naradice (talk) 10:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Naradice I've fixed your links to proper internal links, the whole web address is not necessary. Please see other stuff exists; each draft/article is judged on its own merits. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate content by us. Those other articles may simply have not had their inappropriate content addressed yet, or may have circumstances unique to those articles. Sources do not need to be in English; it helps, but is not required. Sources only need to be publicly available reliable sources with a reputation of fact checking and editorial control. 331dot (talk) 10:20, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:15:47, 23 December 2020 review of submission by Germenfer

Hello, I vectorised the flags of several FIAV Associations and I organised them in a table. I then published it in the FIAV Article, but it got removed with the following reason: "against image rules". I guess that some of the flags I vectorised are protected by copyright, but I could not find hich ones are and which ones aren't. I thus published the table without the flags. I request help in order to see how to solve this issue I'm having.

15:08:25, 24 December 2020 review of draft by EHildy


1) Reviewer, Robert McClenon, seems to think citations to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database are insufficient. Yet the Internet Speculative Fiction Database has been cited myriad times in Wikipedia with other science fiction authors and artists (that's how I learned about it). I could list many, many examples. ISFDB references actual, extant hard-copies of publications and magazines. It doesn't get much more empirical than that. Must I bring in all the paper hard copies and place them on Mr. McClennon's desk? Because that would probably be a real headache for both of us. Seriously though, if a previously used, proven citation source of Wikipedia ITSELF isn't sufficient, then what would be a sufficient reference in this context? What else would satisfy you? 2) Disambiguation page has been altered to say "Terry Lee (author)." This is incorrect. It should say, "Terry Lee (artist)." How do I fix that? EHildy (talk) 15:08, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Being listed on www.isfdb.org does not confer any notability whatsoever. You need to demonstrate that the subject meets one of our relevant notability guidelines, such as the General Notability Guideline which requires subjects to have received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Significant coverage = in-depth writing about the subject, not passing mentions, and not mere listings. Theroadislong (talk) 16:46, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

18:52:20, 24 December 2020 review of submission by CesareBrizio

 Courtesy link: Draft:Edwin_Foresman_Schoch


When I still wasn't autoconfirmed, I submitted another draft (Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch) via the "articles for creation" process.

I recently repeated the submission after improving the draft, and now Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch is pending review.

Today, another draft of mine was accepted, and I learned that now I'm autoconfirmed and I can create the articles by myself.

Is there a way for me to revoke my submission for review of the draft about Edwin F. Schoch, so that I can get back in control of that draft and bypass the "articles for creation" process?

Thank you for your advice!

CesareBrizio (talk) 18:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CesareBrizio: You can technically skip the submission process by moving the draft to article space and then removing the AfC notices, as well as activating the categories, however, I would not recommend it at this point. Victor Schmidt (talk) 19:00, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Victor Schmidt: Thank you very much. I'll wait for the outcome of the AfC process. Merry Christmas! CesareBrizio (talk) 19:02, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@CesareBrizio: Merry Christmas also for you. Victor Schmidt (talk) 19:04, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@CesareBrizio: While technically an autoconfirmed user can create articles in live space, I don't recommend that for new editors. The chief issues that new editors have is with identifying reliable sources and establishing that our notability guidelines are met. Understanding these things typically requires a little experience. If you go through the AFC process and the article is moved to live space, it will be far likelier to survive. If a new editor builds in live space, their work can quickly draw the attention of other editors, who may nominate it for deletion. If it is deleted, it will be more difficult to convince the community that a new article about the same subject in in better shape than the previous version, and the stigma of a prior deletion could result in a speedier deletion. Regards and Merry Christmas. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:40, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyphoidbomb: Many thanks for your insightful comments. In fact, my only article was published via AFC, and I will definitely wait for the review of my draft about Edwin F. Schoch within the AFC process. Best, CesareBrizio (talk) 19:49, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

22:15:39, 24 December 2020 review of draft by HurricaneTracker495


After 2 weeks, why can't we put it in mainspace for now, add sources later? This was a big snowstorm and we can always use {{Cn}} if needed. Hurricane Tracker 495 22:15, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One could also argue that since it's already over, there's no longer a hurry to add it to mainspace. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:22, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:35:25, 24 December 2020 review of submission by Neoknght


It was said that this is a blatant promotion. I am attempting to state the company and its quotes as well as products without sounding advertising similar to that of PepsiCo. Please provide feedback on where you thought it was blatant promotion and I will modify it.

Neoknght (talk) 23:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neoknght, in my opinion, your draft is an advertisement for a run-of-the-mill small business that does not come anywhere near meeting Wikipedia's notability guideline for companies. You must provide much better references. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:17, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many changes made to remove possible content that violated the original rejection. Neoknght (talk) 23:58, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neoknght, this still sounds promotional, you're lucky the draft wasn't speedy deleted from the start. Regardless of those issues, I am doubtful this company is notable for inclusion in this encyclopedia, articles need to summarise from multiple reliable, independent, secondary sources.

See the above page. It has enough cites, sources and I have no direct or indirect relation with Onkar. I live in Jammu, where he resides and I am writing about him because he deserves to be in Wikipedia. The article is not an advertisement from any end. It's totally neutral and I have used sources not the own created source of the subject. The news sources I used are totally neutral.

absurd assertion... there is no arricle on triggo at all in English. I am trying to add one. why are you concoting such an absurd notion? thsi is not an advert. just basic informantion 10% of what already exists on the PL wikipedia. if you think it is an advert, go ahead and write a translation from wikipedia pl

MercuryRising451 (talk) 22:17, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]


we are trying to create an direct ENGLISH transation of article from Polish wikipedia on triggo. We just started and a user acting in a pathological fashion User:Theroadislong is blocking those attampts for no valid reason. the article is intended to be a DIRECT TRANSALTION of an existing article in PL wikipedia. And that user is blocking it and hurling insane accusations of it being and ad.... not only that this person is not creating an article that is missing but that person is actively blocking an article to match the one in PL wikipedia and that exist for other vehicles of the sort.

MercuryRising451 (talk) 22:51, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MercuryRising451: In order for an article to pass the Articles for Creation process at the English Wikipedia, you have to demonstrate that the subject meets one of our notability guidelines. In this case, the General Notability Guideline states that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" means that it has received in-depth coverage, i.e. not passing mentions. "Reliable sources" means sources that meet our reliable sourcing guidelines, which generally speaking means things like major newspapers, major magazines, books published by major publishers, etc. "Independent of the subject" means that the subject, or companies related to the subject, or people who are related to the subject, do not do anything to establish notability. So an article about a vehicle, where the only reference is to the vehicle's corporate website, does nothing to establish notability.
Unfortunately, just because there is an article at the Polish Wikipedia doesn't mean that an article is guaranteed at the English Wikipedia. Each community has its own rules. Sorry. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:42, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't mean the article is ready for live space. If you want to move the article forward, you'll need to figure out where those references go, and address the issues raised of the article sounding like an advertisement. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:45, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first contribution, I'm just trying to learn.

Greetings

I would like to know why this topic has not been accepted. It is a growing business, and I do not have any relations to it. I am writing about it to spread awareness of their Sustainable Investing methods which would benefit the community.


Kind Regards Rohan Lakhiani

WikiEditorNumber9 The draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. It was rejected because this company does not seem to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. "Growing" and "startup" are usually tipoffs that a company does not yet merit a Wikipedia article. Spreading awareness is a form of promotion and not permitted on Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 12:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CCWriter2236 (talk) 22:37, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CCWriter2236. It will take however long it takes. At this level of backlog, the categories are fairly coarse. I believe the 3 month bucket really means more than 3 months but less than 4 months. The draft waiting longest has been in the pool since 29 August. Yours has been in the pool since 29 September. That suggests you have another month to wait. If you're interested in improving the encyclopedia, there are many things you can do to help in the meantime. See the Wikipedia:Task Center. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What do I have to do in order to have Wikipedia allow my site to be referenced on its website. I built this website myself and am wondering why I can't have an article on Wikipedia about my personal web project called www.thecentralbanks.com.

Thesireofplebs Wikipedia is not interested in what you want to say about your own website. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a website, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable website. If no one has chosen on their own to write about your website, it would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. Please also review conflict of interest and promotion. 331dot (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Thesireofplebs: Wait until it meets either the criteria out lined in WP:Notability or the criteria in WP:Notability (web), then wait for someone else to create a Wikipedia page on their own, without any help, input, prodding, or "suggestion" from you that it might be a good idea to do so. Or, alternatively, wait until your web site meets one of the "notability" criteria, read and follow the directions in WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Paid-contribution disclosure, draft and article in as neutral a tone as possible and cite reliable, independent sources to show that your web site has received "significant coverage." Press releases and coverage based on what you say don't "count" when reviewers assess a topic's notability.
In short, if your web site becomes the next Google, someone will create a page about it eventually. If not, oh well. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lindonlulgjuraj Please review the autobiography poklicy as to why writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. To succeed, in essence you need to forget everything you know about yourself and only write based on the content of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of you. Those sources must show how you meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable musician. The sources you have offered are not significant coverage of you. Such coverage does not include brief mentions, interviews with you, or other primary sources. See Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 07:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:46:59, 27 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Barejsha02


Dear editors,

I have corrected almost all the comments I could.

But

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject

This remark is incomprehensible to me. How can I correct the article to bring it into an encyclopedic format? When writing, I was guided by articles about other Russian scientists in Wikipedia, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhores_Alferov

As to independent, reliable, published sources, they are given in article section "Publications about L. A. Sosnovskiy"

If possible, give the citation numbers from Google Scholar or equivalent

If possible, please give me a link to an article by some scientist on Wikipedia, so that I can see with an example how to do it correctly.

Sincerely

It seems it has been occasionally covered by news outlets for past two to three years especially by those specialised in the display industry when it let out press releases or updates on the production schedule, for its unique manufacturing technology and the prospect of an OLED monitor. It certainly receives enduring attention and has notability at least in the OLED market. 50ironclad50 (talk) 19:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

50ironclad50 The draft has been rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. Product announcements and other routine business announcements do not establish notability. Please review WP:ORG, the notability criteria for businesses. 331dot (talk) 19:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
331dot Thank you for the quick reply :) Actually this is not a draft I initiated so if I had known a rejected one has no chance for being re-considered I would've not contributed it sporadically spending my time. That's my bad. As for the issue regarding notablity, I don't believe the scope of the coverage of this company has been limited to routine press releases or brief mentions. The establishment of this company was covered with a detailed analysis in a Reuters piece and multiple news sources have been following this company for the reasons I mentioned. So the criteria for notablity seem nebulous to me in this case. Is there a guideline for submitting another draft on a subject that has been rejected? I'm not pledging on starting a new one but I might sometime if that was possible. 50ironclad50 (talk) 20:58, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
50ironclad50 I believe that in general it is okay to wait six months or more before submitting a draft on a previously rejected subject. If you have appropriate sources now, you should bring that up with the reviewer that rejected the draft. 331dot (talk) 21:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
50ironclad50 I have added the submit template for you, feel free to submit and I'll leave it for another reviewer to take a look. Theroadislong (talk) 21:22, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm asking help because I don't understand what modifications are asked for the page "Scalable Screen Font". I also can't see any add comment nor reply comment links, and I find it difficult to keep in touch with the moderators. One of them added some comments on the talk page, but sadly without direct links I could use. He suggested to use this interface, that's why I'm asking here. Sorry I make trouble for you. Bztwiki (talk) 20:21, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bztwiki You've been told repeatedly that Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified and notability established. Theroadislong (talk) 20:36, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Talk pages are edited just like any other page. There is no "add comment", just "edit". 331dot (talk) 20:52, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to add references to infoboxes? There is some info in the infobox that is not mentioned in the rest of the article, so I want to add references to the infobox. I've tried <ref>, but it doesn't work. TechNerd22 (talk) 01:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The <ref> tag can be used in infoboxes. However, I do feel the need to point out WP:NSCHOOL, which suggests that the subject of this article may not be notable enough to warrant an article. The references provided are routine coverage about construction, which likely does not support notability. --Kinu t/c 01:36, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. You offer no independent reliable sources with coverage of the subject. 331dot (talk) 08:23, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:11:09, 28 December 2020 review of submission by Iamjhaalok

Hello my article is declined because the submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject . I need some help with this article, because its my first one and also because i can not see whats wrong with it.

Iamjhaalok (talk) 06:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Iamjhaalok What was wrong with it was that you did not show with significant coverage in independent reliable sources that the company meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. You had offered no sources other than the company website. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, but in what third parties say about it without any involvement from the subject. Please see Your First Article; you may also wish to use the new user tutorial if possible. Successfully writing a new article is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia; you might wish to gain experience by first spending time editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for the process and what is expected of article content. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did some tweaks to the draft, hopefully, it sounds less marketing/advertorial and more factual. Culturesorbet (talk) 09:41, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Culturesorbet Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that it will not be considered further. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something like a company A Wikipedia article about a company must only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. The reviewer rejected the draft because the chances of that occurring here seem to be low.
If you are associated with this company, you must review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ISKCON Nepal is a real Hindu temple in Nepal which is located in Kathamandu. It's saying the subject is not notable but it's wrong. ISKCON Nepal is very famous across Nepal.Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sitaramradheshyam (talk) 10:13, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sitaramradheshyam Your reviewers want to know how/why it is independently notable of ISKCON, which already has a Wikipedia article. They suggest that you incorporate your work into a section in that article. If you want this to be a standalone article, you will need to give your reviewers good reasons why.

I'm a poet and one of my purpose of being here is to be publishing my poems for Wikipedia readers to be benefiting from it. I've tried and make research if Wikipedia supports that but I will appreciate it if I can get the right answer here. If Wikipedia supports Poems, what are the guidelines to follow. Thanks. Hiqmahempire (talk) 14:01, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hiqmahempire Wikipedia is not a web host, it doesn't publish poetry or any original works. Theroadislong (talk) 14:18, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hiqmahempire What Theroadislong said is correct. That said, "inside humor" that is about Wikipedia can sometimes have a place outside of the "encyclopedia" part of Wikipedia. One seasonal example is Wikipedia:The Night Before Wikimas, which is a Wiki-centric riff of the old Christmas classic A Visit from St. Nicholas. Again, just to re-emphasize, this is NOT part of the encyclopedia itself. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 22:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there,

I would like to ask for a re-view to this article. A friend of mine tried to creat a wikipedia article about VAVA Eyewear, but we didn't put any references to the text that we wrote.

I did some research and found some newspappers and magazines that verify the text that he wrote before.

I hope everything is in order right now.

All the best. Writerforfuture14 (talk) 10:18, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Writerforfuture14: Is you friend the same person that wrote https://www.eye-book.com/2020/10/a-chat-with-pedro-da-silva/? If he is, that article is unsiutable for Wikipedia. Interviews and other primary sources are of limited use. The given text is overly promotional. If your friend isn't the person that wrote that, we have a real problem. Either way, based on the source text, the (deleted) revisions are not acceptable for Wikipedia. That does not mean an article cannot be created, however, any new attempt will have to start from a blank page. There are steps for article attempts avaliable here, here or here.

Hi there,

I submitted the article below from a different page (which now is deleted since the name North Star Systems Inc. didn’t meet Wikipedia requirements) and it got declined due to these reasons:

"1. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. 2. Blatant advertising and copy-pasting of mission statements including trademark symbols"

Please provide any specific feedback you can to improve this article so it hopefully doesn't get declined again. 1. If I don't have to include trademarks, I won't. I just thought I had to since their product is trademarked. 2. I also tried to change a lot of words so its not copy-paste but there are some words I just can't change because it will change the whole sentence and might also misinterpret what this company believes in.. 3. I provided all possible references that exist about this company to back up the information I'd like to contribute to Wikipedia.

Your help is appreciated.

Sincerely, Tech306

[draft removed; as you were advised last time, please don't add any article text or references to this page]
