02:39, 11 December 2024 review of submission by Informationappeared

• Informationappeared (talk · contribs) ^(TB)
  • Draft:Capturing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Is my draft too short? If you agree with this statement, please submit it as a stub. Informationappeared (talk) 02:39, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the length requirement for a draft but you should add an infobox. EEpic (talk) 06:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Informationappeared: there is no such thing as "too short", really, as long as the draft provides enough information to be a meaningful description of its subject and the context.

I've no idea what you mean by "submit it as a stub". It probably is stub length, but this has no bearing on anything.

And no, @Ethiopian Epic, there is no requirement to add an infobox, and this wouldn't in any way affect a draft's chances of being accepted. Please don't give out misleading information. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:07, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

why my article not accepted Rhumagai (talk) 08:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

It is a completely unreferenced essay that draws conclusions; original research is not permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources say about topics that meet our criteria. 331dot (talk) 09:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

What is the error in this draft. help me complete this 111.92.104.16 (talk) 11:06, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Reviewers are here to advice, not co-write. The sources in the draft are not significant coverage, and more reliable sources are needed to establish notability. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:16, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

The "error" in it is that there is no evidence that the subject is notable. The draft cites two sources, of which one makes only the briefest of passing mentions of this station.

And if you just resubmit without even trying to address the decline reason, eventually the draft will get rejected outright, without the option to resubmit. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

hi! this page recently got approved for creation and was rated Start class. I'd like to improve it, can you recommend some steps I should take? thanks :) Petsquirrel (talk) 11:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Petsquirrel: once an article has been accepted it is no longer within the purview of the AfC project; you should therefore ask for general advice and support at the Teahouse or Help desk instead. That said, I would suggest that you take a look at the content assessment grades and criteria at WP:ASSESS; these will give you an indication of what is needed for an article to reach the next grade level. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:45, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Draft:Johnytiger (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I hope this message finds you well. I am seeking assistance with creating a Wikipedia page to document my career and contributions. Over the years, I have worked on several notable projects, including collaborations with the band I Set My Friends on Fire and appearances in their music videos.

Unfortunately, many of the references I previously had in major publications have since been removed, making it challenging to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I have compiled the best available references and am exploring whether my documented contributions to music videos and other media can be used as valid citations.

I would greatly appreciate your expertise in navigating Wikipedia’s requirements and ensuring my page adheres to their standards. Please let me know how we can collaborate or if there are additional steps I should take to support this effort.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance. Johnytiger (talk) 19:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Johnytiger! Unfortunately, your draft has been rejected - this often happens when you submit drafts quickly without fixing the issues noted by the previous reviewer. This means you cannot submit it again. If you are quite sure you want to try again, you'll need to read through the policies I'm about to link, as well as the pages linked by the reviewers, and fix the draft to the best of your ability. You can then appeal to the last reviewer - but be sure you've followed all the policies to have a chance of success.

The main policy that you would need to follow is WP:BLP, for biographies of living people. It might sound silly for us to say you need to be able to prove that every single sentence you've written is correct - after all, it's you who's writing it - but we do this for the protection of anyone who has a Wikipedia article, so that no one can insert untruthful and potentially damaging lies. Take a look at WP:REFB, referencing for beginners, as well - your draft is effectively unreferenced, since all the references are in a pile at the end rather than supporting statements in the draft. You'll need to make sure the references support each statement as specified there. Make sure every reference conforms to all three criteria in WP:42!

Last but certainly not least, keep in mind that if your draft is accepted, it leaves your control completely. Other people can and will begin to edit it, and anything in your past - or your future! - that you would want to keep hidden may show up in the article. There are many reasons not to want a Wikipedia article; see WP:ABOUTME for more information.

I hope this helps, and wish you all the best. StartGrammarTime (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not "to document" anything - it is only interested in subjects which have already been documented in reliably-published places, independently of the subject. So an article about you should be based almost entirely on what people wholly unconnected with you have chosen to publish about you, not on what you or your associated say or want to say.

More fundamental in this context is that writing about yourself is very strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, as very few people can succeed in writing sufficiently neutrally about themselves. ColinFine (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

19:18, 11 December 2024 review of submission by BarComos

• BarComos (talk · contribs) ^(TB)
  • Draft:Gio Canto (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I would like to know the exact reason for the rejection of the draft. As an additional note, the person mentioned in the article could have been the youngest individual to present at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, especially considering their age. BarComos (talk) 19:18, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

BarComos The draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected has a specific meaning in the draft process, that a draft may not be resubmitted. Declined means that it may be resubmitted.

You haven't demonstrated that he is a notable creative professional or more broadly a notable person. 331dot (talk) 19:28, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

331dot thanks for explaining the difference between "declined" and "rejected". I’d like to share a few reasons why I believe Gio Canto meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines and why this draft deserves another look.

Participation at FIL Guadalajara 2024: Gio was one of the youngest authors at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, which is a major literary event in the Spanish-speaking world. This is a significant achievement for someone so young, and it’s been covered by reliable sources like El Occidental and Quadratín Guerrero.

Established Publishing Record: He’s published four books since 2022 in genres like sci-fi and fantasy. These books are available on international platforms like Open Library, which shows his work isn’t just local but has a broader reach.

Media Coverage: There’s been consistent coverage of his work and achievements by Mexican media outlets like El Sol de Chilpancingo and El Sol de Acapulco. This shows there’s ongoing public and media interest in his career.

Entrepreneurship: At 13, Gio founded his own publishing imprint, Gio Canto Books, which he’s used to publish his works. He also wrote a thoughtful article on AI in publishing, showing he’s engaging with relevant issues in the industry.

Meets Notability Guidelines: Wikipedia considers people notable if their achievements are widely covered by independent, reliable sources, and Gio’s career ticks these boxes.

I’d be happy to improve the draft further if needed, :) BarComos (talk) 19:51, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

It sounds like the Fair doesn't contribute to him being a notable writer, as while he presented his work in the fair, it doesn't sound like it was "a substantial part of a significant exhibition"(my emphasis), it was one small part of the fair. He started his own company, which is uncommon but not unheard of for children, and little of the draft is devoted to that aspect of his life. Self-publishing a novel does not contribute to notability, as anyone can self-publish anything. Writing an article means little unless you have sources that describe a particular influence his article had. 331dot (talk) 20:06, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

He might be a notable person, but if his claim to notability is "he's a young businessman and writer" you'll need sources that discuss the significance of that. 331dot (talk) 20:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi 331dot thank you for taking the time to respond and share your perspective. I’d like to address your concerns in more detail and clarify why Gio Canto meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria. Gio’s participation in the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) 2024 was not just a casual inclusion. At the age of 15, he was one of the youngest authors to present at the fair, an event that is widely recognised as a major cultural platform in the Spanish-speaking world. This achievement was highlighted in media outlets such as *El Occidental* and *Quadratín Guerrero*, which drew attention to his unique position and talent. While I understand that presenting at the FIL alone may not establish notability, the media coverage surrounding his participation demonstrates that his presence was considered significant by reliable sources. Regarding his work as a publisher and writer, Gio founded his own publishing house, Gio Canto Books, at the age of 13. Through this imprint, he has published four books in multiple genres, including science fiction and fantasy, which have been distributed on international platforms such as Amazon and Apple Books. Additionally, Gio Canto is officially registered as a publisher with Mexico’s National Institute of Copyright (INDAutor), a status reflected in the public ISBN catalogue (https://isbnmexico.indautor.cerlalc.org/catalogo.php?mode=detalle&nt=435299). This formal recognition adds to the legitimacy of his contributions to the literary field. Gio Canto Books also has a notable online presence, including a professional profile on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/gio-canto-books/about/?viewAsMember=true) and, if I recall correctly, a dedicated 800-number in Mexico as part of their contact system. These elements reflect an operational publishing house with efforts to reach a wide audience, further legitimising Gio’s entrepreneurial endeavours. While self-publishing itself is not inherently notable, Gio’s ability to consistently attract media attention for his works suggests a broader public and cultural interest in his career. Publications such as *El Sol de Chilpancingo* and *El Sol de Acapulco* have discussed his achievements, further supporting his relevance. You mentioned that writing an article alone does not establish notability, which I fully agree with. However, Gio’s article on the role of AI in publishing, published on Zenodo, reflects his engagement with contemporary issues in the literary industry. While its influence may not yet be widely documented, it complements the narrative of a young professional actively contributing to his field. I recognise that Wikipedia requires significant and independent coverage to establish notability. Gio’s story has been covered by multiple reliable sources that discuss his achievements as a young writer, entrepreneur, and cultural participant. If the draft does not sufficiently emphasise these aspects, I’m more than willing to make improvements to better align with Wikipedia’s standards. I appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing if these points help address your concerns. :) BarComos (talk) 20:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

The source about the fair came up as not found. You say sources brought "visibility to his efforts in the literary community" but don't say what the significance of that visibility is or what his specific impact to the literary community is.

You say "Gio founded his own publishing imprint, Gio Canto Books, at the age of 13. The company not only serves as the platform for his self-published works but also reflects his entrepreneurial approach to the publishing industry." What is that approach? What is the significance of him founding a company to publish his own books? And a LinkedIn page is not an acceptable source. 331dot (talk) 20:50, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi 331dot, thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate your thoughts, and I’d like to address the points you’ve raised as clearly as possible. About the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL) source, I apologise if the link didn’t work earlier. Gio’s participation was highlighted by media outlets like *El Occidental* and *El Sol de Acapulco*, focusing on his status as one of the youngest authors at the event and his journey as an emerging writer. While his age alone might not be enough for notability, the media coverage suggests that his presence caught attention and resonated with the public. I can look for additional sources if that would help make this clearer. On Gio Canto Books, I understand your question about its significance. While many people self-publish, founding a publishing imprint at 13 is uncommon, especially when it’s structured as a registered business. According to the official website (https://giocantobooks.com/), Gio Canto Books is a trade name owned by Gio Antonio Canto Gómez, formally registered as a "Persona Física con Actividad Empresarial" in Mexico under the Commercial Code and Income Tax Law. This formal registration adds legitimacy to the imprint and distinguishes it from casual self-publishing efforts. Additionally, the website outlines the editorial services offered by the imprint, demonstrating its active role as a professional publishing entity. As for his impact on the literary community, it’s fair to say his career is still evolving. However, his work has already gained visibility through media coverage, his participation in FIL, and the distribution of his books on international platforms. His efforts are starting to carve out a space for him as an emerging voice in young adult speculative fiction. This visibility has brought attention to his books and his story, which have inspired interest in his journey as a young writer. I completely understand that notability needs to be demonstrated through reliable, independent sources, and I’m more than happy to strengthen the draft with better references and clearer explanations. If there’s a specific part of the draft that needs more detail, let me know, and I’ll work on it. Thanks again for your feedback and for taking the time to guide me through this process. BarComos (talk) 21:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Your use of the terms "emerging writer", "career is still evolving",."starting to carve out", "emerging voice" etc. is a strong indication that it is too soon for an article about him. Being visible isn't in and of itself notable, there needs to be an impact. He sounds to me like a smart young man getting an early start on his career, but his impact hasn't really been determined yet. Feel free to not rely on me alone and get other opinions. 331dot (talk) 21:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

My opinion aligns with 331dot's. A Wikipedia article is little more than a distraction from one's career and isn't going to help them be found; a badly-written-and-sourced Wikipedia article also runs the risk of damaging their career as it comes across as the guy trying to use it to promote themselves. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 19:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

• 47.178.25.93 (talk · contribs) ^(TB)
  • Draft:Gem-Pack Berries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm reaching out to request further information about the decline reasons provided for my Wikipedia article draft.

Upon joining a new Wiki user, I was prompted to peer edit a handful of live/existing pages when I joined the platform that appeared to have many glaring issues. I am trying to understand why the one I drafted was declined in contrast, so I can better ascertain what to fix in my draft to avoid having it declined in subsequent reviews.

First, regarding "reliable sources" — it appears the draft was declined on the basis of citing a first-party source- i.e. the subject/topic's (Gem Pack Berries) own website. 1) is that assumption correct? and 2) is there ever an allowable instance where the subject's own website can be cited a Wikapedia page's source list, or will that always be flagged as a decline reason? I'm asking because I initially included it in my draft's source list since the material provided on the Gem Pack Berries website was informational and I had wanted to reference some of those notes in the Wikipedia page.

Second, regarding the subject "not qualifying for a Wikipedia article" based on the source criteria listed (in depth, reliable, secondary, strictly independent). Again I'd like to better understand how that's evaluated, as I have seen several other examples that do not meet some or all of these criteria. Is the expectation to meet all? Some? Most? Any additional detail on how this is evaluated would be much appreciated so I know what exactly to improve for the next round of revisions to my draft. I.e. does it just boil down to removing the subject's first-party website from the source list? That's the only thing I can really spot from my end that seems to go against the criteria. But again I wasn't aware that it was all or nothing and would thus decline the whole page.

Thanks for bearing with my questions as I'm learning and adapting to the platform. Appreciate any insights you can provide. 47.178.25.93 (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Please see WP:PRIMARY for more information about how primary sources can be used- but they cannot be used to establish notability. That requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources. We don't want to know what a subject says about themselves or what their associates say about it, but what people wholly unconnected with the topic choose on their own to say about it, and not based on materials fed to them by the subject.

You have only summarized the routine business activities of the company and what it sees as its own history- routine business activities do not establish notability(see WP:ORG for the notability criteria) and we don't want to know what the company considers to be its own history, we want to know what others say it is.

Please see other stuff exists; it is usually a poor idea to use any random article as a model or example, as these other articles could themselves be inappropriate and simply not addressed yet by a volunteer, and you would be unaware of that as a new user. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles, which have received community vetting. If you would like to help us, please identify these other articles you have seen so we can take aaction. We need the help; we are only as good as the people who choose to help. 331dot (talk) 21:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

If so, you can resubmit it - however, I would not do this without paying attention to the feedback given by both Ibjaja055 (in the draft) and 331dot (on this helpdesk). Both are experienced editors and they have given you good advice. If you are asking whether to listen to 331dot, then the answer is yes, you should pay close attention and take their advice. They have gone out of their way to help and given you detailed information that is very relevant to your draft. StartGrammarTime (talk) 08:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Draft:Orion Land (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. (December 2024)

I recently received a notification indicating that I need to report to Wikipedia regarding i work for my employer to create an article about "Orion Land." I would appreciate guidance on where I should report this information and any instructions or guidelines on creating the article content.

Thank you for your assistance. Writer Johnc (talk) 08:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Writer Johnc: the instructions for disclosing your paid-editing status are given in the notice(s) posted on your talk page. Simply put, you need to place the {{Paid}} template, duly filled-in, on your user page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Writer Johnc, thank you for being open. You'll find lots of information at WP:PAID, but the quickest and easiest way to make a disclosure is to place the following on your userpage:

{{paid|employer=Orion Land}}

(if your employer is Orion Land - if not, change 'Orion Land' to the correct name of your employer).

With regards to the content of the draft, your goal is to find sources that show us Orion Land is notable by Wikipedia standards, which are very specific. For a company, the relevant guideline is WP:NCORP. All your sources should meet the triple criteria of WP:42. Sources do not need to be in English, if that helps. Happy editing! StartGrammarTime (talk) 08:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Writer Johnc Forgive me, but aren't you the one being paid to learn? You've made a correct disclosure. You have been given sufficient advice. Now, what comes next is your doing the work. That's why youi are being paid.

We, by contrast, are not being paid. That means we are unlikely to be interested in helping you to be. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft.

That advice applies if anything more strongly to paid editors, since your work is likely to be scrutinised especially carefully. ColinFine (talk) 18:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I struggle to understand why the draft article was rejected. All information is based on the two articles I linked, one of which is an obituary published in a highly reputable journal, and the other a scientific paper.

Do you have suggestions on what needs to be changed for the article to be accepted? MMM2267257 (talk) 20:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

One obituary by people who evidently knew him is not an independent source; and neither is an article by him. And normally at least three sources that meet WP:42 are required. The draft either needs to satisfy WP:NPROF or WP:GNG: at present it does neither. ColinFine (talk) 22:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

My article here was just declined. This is my first article. It was something about sources and notability. Are my sources not credible? I am I lacking citations in important spots? This band I am writing about isn't giant but they have 190,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and articles written about them so I can't imagine their not notable enough for a Wikipedia page. So, as a new editor, I must've screwed some things up. Any and all help is appreciated. A Real Living Person (talk) 21:29, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Susan Hackett, your draft is exceptionally poorly referenced. Every substantive assertion requires a reference to a reliable source that verifies that assertion. So, when you write that she was Born in 1972 in Oceanside, NY, you need to provide a reference to a published reliable source verifying that. When you write that she was earning accolades in high school, you need to provide a reference to a published reliable source discussing her "accolades". And so on with every other assertion that you make. You have many inappropriate External links in the body of the draft article. Almost all of then should be removed.

  • Draft:Bransby Horses (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi

I recently submitted a page on Bransby Horses, but it was rejected by Wikipedia as it read like an ad. It stated that I needed to have a range of sources from independent and reliable publications and not from the charity itself. But not one of my sources links back to the charity's website and every single one is an external source, so I'm really confused how Wikipedia have come to this conclusion.

Please could you advise on how I fix this. Sophie.hampson (talk) 12:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Sophie.hampson: just to explain, the draft was declined for informal or non-neutral language, and I think it does have a vaguely promotional feel to it. (Also, information like opening hours and cost of entry is absolutely not needed and quite inappropriate for an encyclopaedia article.)

Where the decline notice mentions independent sources, it means (among other things) that when you say things like "their experts also take part in external events and contribute to the global research community on equine health", this must come from an independent source, you cannot call their people "experts" or contributors to global research, and neither can they themselves, that makes it just peacock language.

I haven't looked at the sources in detail, but it's also possible that some of them regurgitate what someone from the charity has said (eg. in an interview) or written (eg. in a press statement), in which case although superficially the source looks independent, the ultimate source is actually the charity itself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

• RHAMGA (talk · contribs) ^(TB)
  • Draft:British Watch and Clock Makers' Guild (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

How to show the notability of the subject?

I have made a submission for adding a page, but it has been rejected due to the fact that the primary sources do not establish notability. Other UK based bodies that are related to the Guild currently have their own page, including:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiquarian_Horological_Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worshipful_Company_of_Clockmakers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Horological_Institute

The Guild was established in 1907 and has a larger membership that 2 of those 3 bodies. The British Horological Institute's (BHI) page only has sources that are from their own website, and so it is unclear why the notability for the Guild is being rejected, but not for the BHI.

I am happy to make any necessary changes, but having read the notes from Wikipedia on the subject, I am not clear what I need to do. Thanks RHAMGA (talk) 13:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@RHAMGA: it doesn't matter whether other comparable organisations have articles in Wikipedia, that is the so-called WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, which is a fallacy. We don't assess drafts by comparison to existing articles, but rather by reference to the applicable policies and guidelines. Organisations must establish notability per WP:ORG, which requires significant coverage in multiple (3+) secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject and of each other. Your draft cites almost exclusively primary sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok, many thanks for clarifying that; I'll make the suggested changes. I appreciate what you're saying about past articles and that as standards have changed they may not be up to current levels - and so I shouldn't try and compare with them. RHAMGA (talk) 13:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out those woefully undersourced articles. I have tagged two of them with their shortcomings: the third was already tagged.

I recently submitted a draft for a Wikipedia page and am seeking your help to ensure it meets the community's standards and guidelines for approval.

I want to make sure the content is accurate, neutral, and well-cited, but I may need a clearer understanding of what specific adjustments are required to make it suitable for publication. Could you kindly review my submission and provide feedback on:

Whether the content sufficiently demonstrates notability through reliable, independent sources. If there are areas where I might unintentionally include promotional language or lack neutrality. Any additional suggestions for improvement in formatting or tone to better align with Wikipedia’s standards. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated, and I am more than willing to make the necessary revisions.

Thank you for your time and assistance! 2.138.115.80 (talk) 14:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Submitting for review is the way to get reviewed. But in my opinion, this promotional piece has been written BACKWARDS, as usually happens when a new editor attempts to create an article without having spent time learning how Wikipedia works.

Wikipedia is not interested in what Van Rongen says or wants to say, or what his employers or associates say. It is (almost) only interested in what people wholly unconnected with him have chosen to publish about him, in reliable places.

• First, find severaal sources which meet all three of the criteria in WP:42.
• Then, assuming you can find at least three such, forget everything you know about van Rongen, and write a summary of what those sources say.

A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability, such as a notable organization. Your draft is completely unsourced. Writing a new article is the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia, and it is recommended that you first gain experience by editing existing articles, as well as use the new user tutorial. I'd also suggest that you read this page with a parent or guardian or custodian. 331dot (talk) 15:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

@Trishanthreddy: every one of the decline notices (remember, the ones you deleted?) gives details of the decline reasons; I also added comment to point to the notability guideline you needed to comply with (but you deleted that, as well). So once more: your draft is completely unreferenced, and therefore presents no evidence that the subject is notable. And given that the vast majority of schools are in fact not notable, it is virtually a given that this subject can not be included in the encyclopaedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Draft:Caitlin McCarthy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Question about needed edits for approval Hello,

My draft article for Caitlin McCarthy was recently rejected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Caitlin_McCarthy. Is there anything that I can add to help the approval process? The subject has many articles about her, as listed on her website www.caitlinmccarthy.com/press.

Thank you so much! WistahHoney508 (talk) 04:13, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@WistahHoney508: your draft was declined (not rejected) because in the reviewer's assessment the sources cited do not establish notability. I won't go through all 31 (!) of them, but a quick scan finds a few user-generated sources (not considered reliable), and also a few where the link is merely pointing to a website home page, suggesting that the linked URL may not necessarily support information in this draft. If, as you say, this person's own website contains useful media coverage, you can cite them here; just make sure to cite the actual media, not her website. Also, note that such coverage must be in-depth, and about her, not written by her or with her commenting on things (such as interviews).

I must also point out that this draft is poorly referenced, with most paragraphs without a single citation. This is unacceptable in articles on living people, which have particularly strict referencing requirements. You must make sure that every material statement, and especially anything potentially contentious, any direct quotations, as well as all private personal and family details, are clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources (that actually verify them, per my earlier point), or else removed.

In fact, there is so much unreferenced content, eg. in the entire 'Early Life' section, that I need to ask where does all this information come from – do you have some sort of real-life relationship with this person? If so, that must be disclosed. I will post advice on this on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

WistahHoney508 I fixed your post so the header links to your draft, you had what I think you thought was a header where the title of your draft should be. The whole url is not needed when linking to another Wikipedia page. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm new to this and learning. Appreciate your help! WistahHoney508 (talk) 13:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I found info about early life from interviews and her mother's obituary. I don't have a real-life relationship with Caitlin McCarthy. I'm new to Wiki and learning, so I appreciate any and all advice on how to make this acceptable. I can go back and link to the actual articles with this information. Thank you!

What sources are missing for this page? Will media coverages help or by adding an external IMDb link? Thank you. Pineapplebunbun (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pineapplebunbun: we need to see sources that satisfy either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:NFILM guideline for notability. Pre-release publicity is not enough, as it's just part of the producer's marketing ramp-up, and we will not be used as a channel for that. In practice, unreleased films are hardly ever notable, so you probably need to wait a couple of months until this has been released and hopefully received some reviews. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:34, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Draft:WePlanet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I feel really helpless about this : an article being resubmitted after taking into account remarks from a previous reviewer has been declined with arguments that are at least difficult to make sense of, at worst biased or unfair: -"does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article" : this is woefully unspecific,and plainly wrong for what concens this article -the article would not be neutral : the secondary sources being quoted in the first version where mostly positive, but this was not the ressult of cherry-picking, these are the only ones I found. I have added new references that provide a contrarian viepoint, but they are about ecomodernism in general rather than about WePlanet in particular -"should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources" : this is the most grossly unfair comment : there are 22 references in this draft, mostly from very well-known media such as the Guardian "avoid peacock terms that promote the subject." WHERE are there such terms???

When I resubmit, can I have the assurance that the article would be reviewed by another reviewer?? Steyncham (talk) 14:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Courtesy link: Draft:WePlanet. I'll correct your link in a moment.

@Steyncham You have, however, created a magazine article, not a Wikipedia article. It contains glowing prose drawing conclusions. Please see WP:NOR. The article appears to me to be a brochure, an advertisement. And that means whole sentences of peacockery need to be eliminated. We require flat, neutral, dull-but-worthy prose, not advertorial.

It's a best practice not to review a draft a second time by the same reviewer, but there are exceptions to this. Have you raised your concerns with Tavantius directly? That should be your first action when not understanding a review. How can anyone else guess what was in their mind? 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 14:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I did raise all these issues with User:tavantius first thing, but did not get a reply Steyncham (talk) 14:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, but again WHERE do you see "whole sentences of peacockery"?? Such a demeaning comment would require being more specific Steyncham (talk) 15:10, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not the reviewer but "Organizations affiliated with WePlanet claim, according to their websites, to differ from the more technocentrist tendencies of ecomodernism and to be human-centered and grassroots-oriented, with a strong emphasis on fulfilling the needs of developing countries and preserving practices rooted in traditional cultures, in a sustainable and consensual way. "

Im not the most experienced editor on wikipedia but this counts as peacockery or at least too promotional Thehistorianisaac (talk) 15:13, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I mean he ain't wrong on the "formal tone" thing

sounds like some promotional ad Thehistorianisaac (talk) 15:09, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@Steyncham: Note, first of all, that the reviewer comment was "not written in a formal tone", which is different from "written like an advertisement". The draft is not written like an advert. There are promotional bits, however; for instance "Advocating the benefits of technical progress for the environment, WePlanet is spearheading a trend that is gaining popularity among a new generation of green activists in northern Europe" – according to whom is WePlanet spearheading this trend, and according to whom is that a trend that is becoming more popular? The source used to support the claim is this Guardian article, but when there is an evaluative comment or claim in a Wikipedia article, it is not enough to provide a citation marker – the claim has to be attributed as well. Wikipedia can't make evaluative claims in its own voice.

It is also important to rely as little as possible on primary sources. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organisation says about itself, but in what other, independent and reliable sources have said about the org. Organisations often produce press releases which are (by definition) primary sources, and which are often reprinted in several places. This source and this source are two copies of the same press release. Only one instance could be used as a source, and only for limited purposes – see WP:PRIMARY for information about what primary sources can be used for. --bonadea contributions talk 17:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

@Allewikiwriter, friendly notice that the word "rejected" has a special meaning in this area. The word in articles for creation usually defines drafts that cannot be resubmitted. You can still submit the article, as your draft was declined, not rejected.

For the draft itself, it seems that you have drastically changed the draft.

• Personally, I think the bold texts for the chairman and the brands (and many more) are not really appropriate.
• You removed the external link (in the external link section) to the official website, was there any reason for this?
• "The brand has since expanded its presence in Malaysia and to the broader Southeast Asia region." This sentence is either unsourced or the source is unclear as it is separated from other texts.

I may have missed some issues, but these are the stuff I have found.

Hi,

I need assistance regarding the editors comments. My draft was rejected with the following comment "Article has been deleted up to 6 times already, However looking beyond that the creator has undisclosed COI as the image uploaded on the article was also also uploaded by the creator a day prior to creating an account on Wikipedia. Kindly declare a COI and let's see how it goes. See WP:COI for further reading" . Regarding the article being deleted six times, i do not understand how this is possible as I have submitted this article only once. Furthermore, I do not have any conflict of interest. I have referenced one of my papers in the article as an example of this modelling technique being used in the energy domain. As such I am not aware of any other article doing this in energy domain except for the authors themselves. Furthermore, I do not really understand the image being uploaded the day before. Yes I did upload the image a day prior because I needed some way to reference the image in the article and the only viable way of doing was that to upload the image. We would really appreciate further assistance on the topic.

Best regards, Austin

Well when I say rejected I mean delted. Austin desouza (talk) 08:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Austin desouza: it is true that an article on this subject has been created and deleted before, many years ago. That shouldn't, per se, stand in the way of this draft, though, as this is clearly not identical to the most recent deleted version at least (I've not looked at the earlier ones). I also don't quite know where the COI issue arises, although I do think there is a potential copyright problem with the images. That's about all I can say for now; I'm pinging the reviewer Courtesy ping: Tesleemah for comments. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:37, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I suspect COI seeing that the images were uploaded by the author while creating the article. Also I declined the article seeing that the one of the references is related to the author as they have confirmed here Tesleemah (talk) 11:56, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@Tesleemah: I'm not sure I get either point, TBH. Perhaps you can help me understand – what are you saying is wrong with uploading an image while creating the draft?

As for citing one's own work, yes, it's true that (per WP:SELFCITE) if this is done excessively, or to introduce a non-neutral POV, then that can be problematic. But I can't see how that could be the case here, given that only one of the 19 sources is authored by the draft creator.

Note that I'm not trying to argue that the draft should have been accepted (I've not looked at it in any detail, so can't comment), only that I don't quite understand the decline rationale here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@DoubleGrazing

Most part of the article needs citation and not only did the author uploaded the image when creating this article but see their comment. Let me bring it here Uploaded a work by Jaap Hrodijn from The author emailed me his work to upload it to wikimedia commons with UploadWizard

The owner of the image asked them to share it on wikicommon around the time they created this article, is that really a coincidence? If I get it all wrong then the author can resubmit while another reviewer accept it this time around. Tesleemah (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Also adding that they created a Wikipedia account a day prior to creating this article. I'm not trying to be too privy but they seem to be connected with the article Tesleemah (talk) 16:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@DoubleGrazing@Tesleemah Thank you for your time and effort in resolving these issues. I asked Prof. Jaap Grodijn if I could upload his work to wiki commons and he sent me his work. And yes I created the account a day prior because that seemed the only viable way to embed the image in the article. And yes I professionally know Prof Grodijn and other peers who do research in the area of business modelling. I believe Prof Grodijn has made a valuable contributions to field and his contribution deserves to be on wikipedia just like the Business model canvas - Wikipedia. Austin desouza (talk) 20:29, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

This is why you need to declare COI Tesleemah (talk) 21:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

@DoubleGrazing@Tesleemah I want to clarify that I am in no way affiliated with Prof. Grodijn or his research group. We are two independent researchers who happen to conduct research in the same field and are familiar with each other's work, which is common in our area of study. However, we have not collaborated in the past, nor are we collaborating on any ongoing projects. Therefore, I am unsure of the basis for the perceived potential conflict of interest.

I echo Andy's question.

Hello. Successfully writing a Wikipedia article is much harder than most people suppose, and we have a lot of restrictions on what articles we accept. Schools rarely meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and unless you can show that your school does meet such criteria, you are wasting your time trying to create an article. In any case, an article should be a summary of what reliable independent sources have published about the school, not what you happen to know or what your school says or wants to say.

Why was my article not accepted?

I have a master's degree in journalism from one of the best schools in the US and I've worked for many years as a researcher and archivist. I see every valid reason as to why Khaled should have a wikipedia page. I'm not a bot or a troll, just because my account is recent shouldn't discount me from making this page. This is also an extremely newsworthy time to make this page on the day of his passing and it can't afford to wait 30 days. Belk3377 (talk) 03:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

@Belk3377, this is not a news site. Your credentials hold no sway over the policies of the encyclopedia. There is no deadline if they are notable today then they will be notable tomorrow or they truly weren't notable. Now with all that being said these contentious subjects have these protections for a reason and for someone who is unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies, guidelines and such we have found to easier to maintain these protections. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 04:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

@Belk3377: Given the extreme disruption in re the Arab-Israeli conflict that has warranted extremely draconian measures on top of a contentious topic designation in an effort to kerb it, I would strongly advise you to take ColinFine's advice below and work on areas of the encyclopaedia that are as far away from the conflict as possible, so that you can actually learn how Wikipedia works instead of becoming yet another victim in a long-running partisan warzone on Wikipedia. Areas under contentious topic designations do not suffer fools. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 19:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. Even if you are an experienced journalist, writing for Wikipedia is very very different from journalism. It's also rather different from academic writing.

The draft is exactly that, a draft, a stub that is intended to be worked on.

My understanding was that remaining in Draft allowed an article to be worked on in this way, before any request for publication.

Your reviewer's comment "This seems to be a cut and paste mess of a press release or something." is just plain bullshit. Fine if you don't know who the person is bugt keep your ignorance to yourself.

This makes me think not only should I stop using Wikipedia, given the piss weak editorial standards your reviewer displays, but I should stop contributing financially, too.

Whether you donate to the Foundation or not is up to you- we editors don't see the money and have no way to confirm whether anyone has donated or not due to privacy. This is the time of year that the Foundation does a fundraising push, although their finances are stable at present.

This process is not for submitting stubs. Articles do not need to be complete to pass this process, but they do need to meet basic standards. If you want to create a stub(which does run the risk that deletion processes may be applied to it) you'll need to first create an account and then get autoconfirmed. 331dot (talk) 09:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

An acceptable Wikipedia article is a summary of what independent reliable sources have published about a subject, and very little else.

@MR Bang Jago: it isn't about popularity, it's about notability, as defined in the Wikipedia context.

@MR Bang Jago: the WP:FILMMAKER guideline does not explicitly mention awards as a criterion. In any case, the IWAFF awards do not appear to be notable enough to establish notability for their recipients, if that's what is being asserted here. And from the draft it seems that this person hasn't even won the award in question, they've only been nominated?

Fundamentally, someone who only started their filmmaking career this year, and who has only released one film, is highly unlikely to be notable, short of actually winning a Golden Globe or Oscar. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Have I already published this article and also I do not want to resubmit it for review Plausethereal (talk) 18:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Greetings, and welcome. As a result of the draft article being moved to its current title, the sandbox page is currently a redirect to the draft. You are free to remove the redirect from the sandbox page and otherwise edit it as you wish.

As for feedback on the draft, the cenotaph memorializing the crash of ADC Airlines Flight 086 is already mentioned in that article--I can't see that the cenotaph itself is sufficiently notable to merit an article independently from the one on the crash. Hope this helps. Feel free to clarify your question or ask further ones. Thanks, and happy editing. --Finngall ^talk 18:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

How Do I Add Good References (The Mimic does not necessarily have good articles about it. It's mainly featured in "Best Horror Games to play Roblox") However, it has 1 billion views and is one of the most popular games on the Roblox platform, thanks to its utilization of Japanese culture, being very unique.

It doesn't matter how many views it has, if there are no independent reliable sources to summarize in an article, there cannot be an article. 331dot (talk) 20:37, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok what would you consider a reliable source, like I need a brief summary.MajorbucksYT (talk) 20:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Please don't start a new thread with every post, just edit this existing section. For games, sources usually reviews written by professional reviewers/critics, or sources detailing the development of the game(see Super Mario Galaxy). You say "The Mimic is renowned for its exceptional graphics" but have no source for this claim. 331dot (talk) 21:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to know regarding uploaded my articles, which wrote in Bengali scripts. There was no provocation regarding religion. My all articles about analysis of literature. Please allow to upload and get a chance for review. Thanks. Jaygopal Mandal 1969 (talk) 22:55, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
