The Photograph That Changed My Life

Dear Theroadislong,

My references are from Financial Times, Guardian and RPS websites, I wonder why you don't accept these articles as reliable, secondary sources that are independent. I think they are very reliable and very independent resources.

Best, elifnurk

Request for review

Hi, I love the topic of cryptocurrencies. I participate in WikiProject. Can I ask you to evaluate my first work Draft:Avalanche (platform)? Thx a lot--Kingofdevelopers (talk) 13:08, 5 November 2021 (UTC)--Kingofdevelopers (talk) 13:13, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Fashion Net notability

In your latest edit, you write "Submission is about a company or organization not yet shown to meet notability guidelines."

Fashion Net is not a company or organization; Fashion Net is a web portal - the very first of its kind.

Where can I read about Wikipedia's notability guidelines for a web portal? I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(web), but I didn't find anything there that indicates the references I already provided are insufficient.

Thanks for your guidance on this, Theroadislong.

Added independent references to Gemma Reguera draft page

Thank you for your helpful feedback. I added two independent references to the Gemma Reguera draft page. MethanoJen (talk) 18:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Fashion Net sources

Thank you, Theroadislong. I can update the formatting of Fashion Net's references using the RefToolbar.

As for scanned sources, I found this reference that links to a scan of an old newspaper uploaded by Google:

Several of the referenced articles on the Fashion Net draft are published only in print and will be hard to verify if links to the scans are missing; there is no archive I'm aware of where old BBC footage can be seen.

Fnoll (talk) 02:15, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Sources do not have to be online, we don't need a scan or link to them, just cite them with publisher, date and page details. Theroadislong (talk) 07:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

References

Brenda Almond (philosopher)

Okay, so I have spent a few more days on this! Please pop over to the draft and have a look. Basically, I have found references in:

The Times The Sunday Times The Daily Mail (Yes, I know this is not a reputable 'source' but the point of this reference is to show that Almond was addressing the Daily Mail audience through features, hence 'active in the public debate'. It can go, of course, if that's still not appropriate) The Times Higher (There's a lot of links to her here if needed)

Then there's the UK government committees which throw up only limited mentions, but I have indicated she was indeed active here which is surely a 'notable' role.

But I guess, it's over to you again now!

(One thing I haven't gone into is her direct links to people like Mary Midgley, AJ Ayer, etc who have long pages on WP and mention her in their books… ) 13:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I revised the piece and I *think* it's been "rejected' by you which honestly is a amazing reflection of how Wikipedia has ceased to be open to editing by everyone - there doesn't seem to be any attempt to engage with me on this. Could you please explain HERE what the latest situation is - and if there is progress, how to get the piece ready and so on. If you are just nixing it, say that too, but I'm then going to take it to the usual places 2A01:CB05:3EC:3E00:E0C5:415D:1E40:898A (talk) 11:23, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

About the Sandor Belak article

Dear Theroadislong.

Thank you for your fast review of the Sándor Belák article draft. I have gone through the references and changed them to the format that is required by Wikipedia. There is an external reference, see below, which gives a comprehensive summary of all the facts (and even more) what is written in the article. I have referenced that twice - do not know if I need to reference it more. What do you think? With kind regards, --Fmasszi (talk) 17:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

References

You have four section with zero sources, I can't read your source above, but if it supports the content in the unsourced sections then by all means cite it. Theroadislong (talk) 17:49, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Fmasszi, to me, and I've written a number of such biographies, it looks like a mostly unverified resume. You can't say things about all the publications and how important they are to a Google search, the awards are unsourced, the "International assignments" are unsourced except for one primary source, etc. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Drmies thanks for your note. Please consider what you yourself also wrote : "except for one primary source". This primary source is in fact verifies everything - and even more - what is in the article. Have you looked at that primary source? Please do that - it is in English. Do we really need more when that source is so comprehensive? Please also note that this article already exist in the Hungarian Wikipedia https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bel%C3%A1k_S%C3%A1ndor_(%C3%A1llatorvos) and in that version all Sandor Belak's aricles (about 20-30) are referenced. But in the English version I took them out, following the previous advice of another editor HitroMilanese.

Kind regards --Fmasszi (talk) 18:20, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Fmasszi Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability for that we require significant in-depth coverage in secondary sources. The English Wikipedia has a higher threshold for inclusion than other countries. Theroadislong (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Fmasszi, this is a resume, summarizing what was no doubt provided by the subject himself. I assume the subject has no reason to lie about any of it, but then again we've seen plenty of well-known people who were less than honest. This is why we require proper, independent, secondary sources. And notability isn't perhaps the most important issue here; the very basic fact of reliability is. In addition, "Impact on higher education" and "Impact outside academia" are completely unverified, and cannot by their very nature be self-sourced--they are, right now, unverified promotional claims. Just as your subject's articles and books were peer-reviewed (if they were published in academic journals and by academic presses), so do claims about someone's impact need to be properly vetted. I am trying to explain this, and our policies, to you, but I am not going to discuss these guidelines with you: they are well-established throughout the project, and if you want the bio to be accepted, it would be beneficial to follow them. Matters of notability, as well as other aspects, are outlined in Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Thank you, Drmies (talk) 18:50, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Drmies no doubt you are right but I was referring to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Newsletter, see reference above in this section, not to the ABCD article you quoted above. That article was surely not written by the subject himself and it is very detailed. But anyway, I see your point and will complete the article with the necessary references as you outlined. They are not so difficult to find, just give me some days to find the time. In fact, almost all of them were already in the Hungarian version. Concerning the notability issue, thanks but I am familiar with it, I have gone through it already before the summer with another editor User HitroMilanese and the subject person was accepted from that perspective. But anyway, thanks for your concern, I will change the article as requested. It will definitely be better. Have a nice evening (it is evening in Sweden where I am) --Fmasszi (talk) 19:37, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Value Balancing Alliance

Hi Theroadislong,

I'm writing regarding your review of my article about the Value Balancing Alliance, which I last edited in October. I understand that the nature of my edits gave you the impression that I'm getting paid to write it, but I'm not. I'm a student who is interested in Sustainable Finance, the economy, and especially sustainability topics. This is the first article I ever wrote on Wikipedia, and I was really interested to learn how to write a Wikipedia article. Obviously, I'm not good at it, but I would be very thankful to have some assistance from your side on how to improve my article. I'm writing this article to challenge myself to learn new things, such as writing an article from the beginning on Wikipedia, and informing others about a non-profit organisation that, in my opinion, is doing a great job on achieving sustainability. Still, I am NOT profiting in any kind of way from doing this.

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CMEvalue (talk • contribs) 10:39, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Creating an article from scratch is the most difficult task on Wikipedia, it’s like deciding you want to be a surgeon and then doing brain surgery with no experience. Start by removing everything that doesn’t have a reliable independent source, ALL content should be based solely on independent published sources. Theroadislong (talk) 10:58, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

JONITA DODA ARTICLE

It gets speedy deleted of the draft is rejected with your concerns of it being an advertisement for the company. We had mentioned before that we are getting paid by the company to make the page live.

Mina Miller Edison is notable for her contributions in the civic arena. Being president of the National Playground Association and the National Recreation and Parks Service is not notable? Yes, she was married to a famous man, but her contributions are her own and her famous husband should not disqualify her. I'm working with The Edison Papers and we're doing this for a virtual historical exhibit. Kathlittle22 (talk) 19:13, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Mina Miller Edison Notability

Hello I am messaging in response to your message to explain why Mina Miller Edison is indeed notable. Having reviewed the guidelines you sent me, I have determined that while she was indeed married to a famous man, she certainly should not be excluded for that simple reason. She should be included in wikipedia based on her accomplishments, namely, her civic engagement. Mrs. Edison was a civic backbone of West Orange in the late 1800s and early 1900s and headed several community organizations during a time when women were just beginning to take such public roles. Mina Miller Edison was a trailblazer. Her work should not be considered trivial just because her scope was limited as a result of her context. At that point it's like saying women's work doesn't or didn't matter. I'm a historical intern working for the Thomas Edison Papers project with the National Park service and we're trying to get wiki pages up for notable people for an online exhibit. Kathlittle22 (talk) 20:09, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Kathlittle22

The draft doesn't make clear what the "contributions in the civic arena" actually were and being president of the National Playground Association and the National Recreation and Parks Service is not inherently notable in itself. Happy to be persuaded otherwise. Theroadislong (talk) 20:12, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Enwriter You need to create a draft using WP:AFC called Draft:Hindi Olympiad Foundation and then submit it for review, but ensure that it is supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia is NOT for merely providing information.

what do you mean by independent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trixvel (talk • contribs) 18:04, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Indpendent sources are ones that have no connection to you. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something or someone Wikipedia summarises what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. You do not appear to pass the criteria at WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN. Theroadislong (talk) 18:09, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Its your opinion but wikipedia's rules say another. take a look:

> Criteria for musicians and ensembles > 5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). > G-Mafia Records, Islou Records, Noize Bangers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trixvel (talk • contribs) 18:21, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Trixvel Your only "sources" seem to be the existence of your music online. Any article about you must summarize what independent sources say about your work; such as reviews of your music not prompted by you, or media coverage of your performances(again, not prompted by you). Note that an article about yourself is not necessarily desirable, see this page. Even if you are notable, there still must be sources about you to summarize in an article. 331dot (talk) 18:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Gary Nicolas Nader Article: List of Publications

Thanks for your comment regarding the endless list of publications not being useful for conferring notability. I had attempted to establish notability in the first section of the article, not with the list of publications. To clarify, I included the list of publications because, during my research of this topic, I found several publications by Gary Nader Editions were being sold online as collector's items, in some cases for hundreds of dollars. So I thought a list of similar publications by the same author would be useful, not for notability, but to people interested in these publications for the sake of the descriptions and photos of the art they contain. I reviewed the Wikipedia [policy] but didn't see what part I was violating exactly, as I only included publications that had an OCLC number (as the independent verification that they do indeed exist as publications). Could you please clarify exactly which Wikipedia policy is being violated in the instance of this list being included in the article, and also how much I should shorten the list so it is not considered endless? Thanks for your time. --Glassdaughter (talk) 19:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I am not saying that you are violating policy, just that adding more and more publications is not improving the chances of acceptance. Theroadislong (talk) 19:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Just saw your message — there is no paid editing. I actually run the company and thought that it was OK for me to create a Wiki page for the brand as I believed we had sufficient coverage to do so and have been blue-tick verified on social media.

I've seen Wikipedia pages for other labels such as Black Butter Records, Butterz, and artists such as Bru-C with the same exact coverage so I'm not sure what I've done wrong.

Thanks, JoshKillian Spiceley (talk) 15:53, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

If it is your own company then you are definitely considered a paid editor and will need to make the disclosure on your user page

Articles | Nation brand

Could you please explain why nation branding projects are irrelevant to Wikipedia?

Considering the number of books written about the topic (https://www.bookdepository.com/search?searchTerm=country+brand&search=Find+book) and the success that the it has on Ted (eg https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_anholt_which_country_does_the_most_good_for_the_world?language=en), we thought that it had some interest to, at least, a couple of people.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Your draft Draft:Portugal Concept Store was rejected because it was just an advertisement and was speedy deleted because of that. Theroadislong (talk) 16:15, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Why are you deleting the page?

If the page is not to be approved. So give a message above. that you cannot create a page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pari Panwar (talk • contribs) 19:25, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Pari Panwar Your draft Draft:Anisha Ranghar was declined, it is not up for deletion? It needed better sources to establish any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 19:30, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sir

Anisha Ranghar is a famous folk singer.

Wikipedia is not concerned with people being famous, they need to be notable, Anisha Ranghar needs to pass the criteria at WP:NSINGER in order for an article to be created. Theroadislong (talk) 20:11, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

References

entire page deleted and moved

The entire page was deleted and moved to another page with a different name? How do we get our "home" page back AND stop the vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Argonne73 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

You do not have a "home page" here? I declined your draft User:Argonne73/sandbox because it appeared to be a test edit. Please see the discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esperanza Drum and Bugle Corps and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps...no evidence of sufficient coverage to require coverage beyond that at List of defunct Drum Corps International member corps#Argonne Rebels Drum and Bugle Corps.

Posting of my contribution

Good day!

On October 26, 2021, I posted an article to Wikipedia on the work of Dutch naval architect Peter van Oossanen, especially his work on the design of the 'winged keel,' a notable event that helped an Australian boat win the 1983 America's Cup. In competitive, high-end yachting that victory ended a 132-year (!) winning streak of the United States. I don't expect a quick finaI posting. I know there is an long cue of articles ahead of me. But can you say, generally speaking, how long it takes for an article to see publication? And where can I monitor the progress? With kind regards - DutchSailor. 2021DutchSailor (talk) 07:54, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Drafts cab reviewed in minutes if they are straight forward declines or accepts, but can be left for much longer if they are not so clear cut, drafts are reviewed in no particular order. I'm afraid your draft Draft:Peter van Oossanen is VERY poorly sourced so is likely to be declined again. Theroadislong (talk) 16:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello sir, I am the new user and I donot know the total criteria for publishing the article. I have created an article on Laxminiya Youth club of Morang district in Nepal. The club is totally active & performs a lot of tasks in the society related to health, education & awareness. The club is totally reliable & many news published too about the club in Nepalese Media. So, Its my humble request to publish the page. please — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niteshshah24 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 22 November 2021 (UTC) Your draft Draft:Laxminiya youth Club was rejected so will not be considered further, the topic is just not notable in Wikipedia terms, see WP:NORG for the criteria it would need to pass. Theroadislong (talk) 16:27, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Request for review

just reviewed, brushed up and added new parts, links, literature and many references to the page of the sculptor Georg Viktor. I'm always happy about important hints and hope this is now adequate to the WIKIpedia rules. Thanks in advance.

I have done some minor copyediting but it is still not clear how they would pass the criteria at WP:NARTIST? I will leave for another reviewer if re-submitted. Theroadislong (talk) 16:39, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Argonne Rebels Drum and Bugle ccorps

This Corps has a significant historical place in DCI. Deleting or reverting the page of one of the original 13 founding corps is antithetical to the cause of DCI. Please become informed about Drum and Bugle Corps history before adminoshing those who wish to preserve these gems of musical history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Argonne73 (talk • contribs) 22:20, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Argonne73 You need to address this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argonne Rebels Drum and Bugle Corps and not keep removing the afd template which will only get you blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 08:53, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

changes made to the Clay Reynolds article

Thank you for your feedback about the 2nd submission of the Clay Reynolds draft article. Unfortunately I have been busy and I wanted to research Wiki policy so I can discuss the editorial issues correctly. I resubmitted it today. Several of the approvers were under the impression that Wikipedia forbids the use of primary sources for biographies of living people. In fact, Wiki has an official policy on the use of self-published sources as sources on themselves and that to do so 5 criteria must be met . In the talk section I explain how my submission follows this policy. I mention also that a similar article about an American author John Updike contains 18 direct quotes from the author and links to about 12 published articles and speeches which were written by the author himself. By my count, my article only includes 2 or 3 direct quotes from the author and about 12-15 links to writings by the author. I will add though that after the 2nd time submitting, I have added several more secondary sources, so I would guess that 2/3 of the references are now from secondary sources. Anyway, I resubmitted it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert J Nagle (talk • contribs) 06:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

See other poor quality articles exist for that argument, you have not addressed the issues I raised so I will leave it for another reviewer thanks. Theroadislong (talk) 08:50, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Andrea Unger - Ready to be resubmitted?

Hello Theroadislong, do you think that now the page has a significant coverage (notability) as compared to the first edition? Is it ready to be re-reviewed? As suggested by you I added many reliable sources (books that talks about the person, national newspapers, etc.).. and I removed the interviews (not considered as independent reliable sources).

Draft:ESam

Hello dear Theroadislong, Thank you for reviewing this submission. This article has been rewritten several times based on the provisions of notability, reliability and independent before being submitted and its objections have been corrected according to the orders of Onel5969, Curbon7 and Worldbruce during a year. Even in the AfC Help Desk and live help with the help of editors, the text writing style was modified and redundant sentences were removed. Please see also the recently added resources.

In the field of Iranian internet businesses, Digikala is known as the Iranian Amazon and eSam is known as the Iranian eBay. There are also other examples, including Divar, which is known as Iranian Craigslist and Aparat, which is known as Iranian YouTube and many others. As important as these are, eSam is just as important as the only Iranian eBay and why it's important is pointed out. Like other simulated US platforms that have been blocked from public access due to internal filtering policies and foreign sanctions, this submission is written solely for the purpose of introducing to the other countries and nothing else.

However, I will be very pleased and grateful for your efforts if you help me to revive this submission. Ahassannezhad (talk) 08:21, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I added reliable sources while creating the page.

Sir, please check my Wikipedia again and I have added reliable, secondary sources that shows the significant coverage. Its a genuine works done by Atul kumar Sharma. 103.93.192.226 (talk) 14:59, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Sanskar Desai draft for review

Hello Sir, Thank you for your guidance and comments. I have just started editting. I have edited some pages but that was only some information. I wanted to write a new page and while searching found there was no page on Sanskar Desai a senior documentary filmmaker.Hence decided to write on this person.When searched on wikipedia, gathered that there was some page composed earlier but was deleted as there were no citations or references. With the help of that information I wrote a fresh page, and added some citations and removed unnecessary unsourced material.And have made a fresh draft finally. And wish to send for review. Could you please guide me further. I am a passionate writer and follow wikipedia since over a decade. I like to research and write.And its my hobby. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnalphanso (talk • contribs) 19:16, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
