05:51:52, 13 June 2019 review of draft by 117.240.248.50


117.240.248.50 (talk) 05:51, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

My wiki article got rejected with the reason 'do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject'.

But the 4 references I have listed are all independent sources and carry necessary information about the subject.

The first reference is from an article in Tugboat which is a journal published by TeX users group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUGboat).

The second is another article that has been published in https://www.linuxtoday.com/.

The third reference is a detailed interview of the subject that has been featured in January 2008 issue of TUG India by the TeX users group. (TeX users group is a community that is mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX).

The fourth is again an article from tug.org that has been retrieved from the internet archive.

Based on these references, the article that has been submitted is true to the facts.

So, I need some clarification on whether it is the way the references has been included that has resulted in the rejection.

Considering the case, I request you to kindly look into the matter and provide your recommendations so that I can get my article published at the earliest.

12:28:06, 13 June 2019 review of draft by Sophiaforgiz



Hello,

as the revision of this article takes much longer than expected, I would like to ask if it is possible to do changes to this article while it is being reviewed? I dont want to do changes and then need to wait longer. Or is it easier to do improvements after the article is approved?

Thank you for your help!

Kind Regards

Sophiaforgiz (talk) 12:28, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sophiaforgiz. Yes, you may continue to improve the draft while you wait for it to be reviewed. It doesn't cite any arms length sources, only the initiative and one of its partners. Wikipedia isn't much interested in what the initiative and its partners BMZ, GIZ, etc. say about the initiative. The bulk of any draft should be based on independent sources (think Süddeutsche Zeitung, academics writing in books and journals, and so on). It will not be accepted unless that is corrected. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:19, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:30:45, 13 June 2019 review of submission by Zhilianghu60


ZHu 15:30, 13 June 2019 (UTC) We have a number of peer-reviewed publications on this work (Animal QTLdb) on well-known scientific journals like Nucleic Acids Research by Oxford Academic publisher. Its developments has lasted over 17 years with federal funding (thus our works are in public domain). Would this be counted as "reliable" source? __Zhiliang — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhilianghu60 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zhilianghu60. Reliable, yes. Independent, no. Secondary, probably not. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How many references do i need to prove that a species exists and what are the best references for this?

AustinRedd007 (talk) 16:03, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AustinRedd007. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of the topic. Scholarly sources (books from academic publishers, and peer reviewed journals) would be best, see WP:SOURCETYPES. Good examples of these types of sources can be found in the references for Cowpea and Tephrosia apollinea. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I spent a lot of time researching "independent, reliable, published sources" for this article and I am really struggling with the idea that someone says I wrote this like an advertisement. Every single sentence is verifiable from these sources. Is negativity required on Wikipedia? Someone please help me out here.

14:52:39, 14 June 2019 review of submission by Muneeralsenaidi


why is my article getting rejected Muneeralsenaidi (talk) 14:52, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muneeralsenaidi. User:Muneeralsenaidi/sandbox has been rejected because it is full of promotional marketing-speak, and the only source it cites is the company itself. Wikipedia may not be used to advertise or promote anything. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view and be based mainly on independent sources.
Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, time consuming, and frustrating tasks a novice editor can attempt. I strongly suggest that you build some experience with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines by making small improvements to existing articles for a while, before again attempting to write an article from scratch. See Wikipedia:Community portal or Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture if you aren't sure where to start. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added new sources to provide more evidence for notability. I would like for someone to review and provide further feedback to improve it. Electricsity (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Electricsity. The company is not notable. Most businesses aren't, see WP:BFAQ#COMPANY. You're wasting your time trying to improve the draft, because no amount of editing will make it acceptable. How you spend your time is of course your own business, but don't expect volunteers to expend any more effort on it. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:12, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sroth0616 (talk) 18:50, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HI Sroth0616, you need to show why Blackstone is important enough to have a wikipedia article. Wikipedia isn't just a phone book where every company gets an entry, so you have to prove notability by providing independent, third party sources who are discussing the importance of the laboratory in some detail.

I don't know why references 14, 22, 48 and 87 appear that way when I've done the correct thing or at least I think so. Thank you. Kindest regards.

LLcentury (talk) 19:36, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LLcentury. Spaces strayed into the URLs of those four references, which made them display and behave oddly. I've fixed those four, but there may be others. Did you copy this from es:Política externa del gobierno de Shinzō Abe? You are welcome to do so, but must give attribution to the original authors. See WP:TFOLWP for how. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce Thank you so much, but believe me please in good faith, I lack of technical English and dont understand how to attribute the authorship to User:Jeddah. I already put something on the draft talk page. --LLcentury (talk) 00:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce: LLcentury is not fluent in English, and interpreted your request as a request to attribute the article creator (User:Jeddah). There is an attribution on the talk page to the original article. Jeddah created the original article, but other people have edited/improved the article; it would be a bit tedious to attribute each and every person. Perhaps LLcentury didn't understand the request; I'm just conveying what they interpreted.
After this is cleared up, we should get back to the original question.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:54, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've repaired the insufficient attribution for LLcentury as described in WP:RIA. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:13, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce: Thank you!, do you need me to do something more to attribution? Kindest regards --LLcentury (talk) 02:19, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LLcentury: The attribution is OK now. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:19, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BDubbs21 (talk) 01:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BDubbs21 Wikipedia may not be used to publicize or promote anything. Its articles cover only topics that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. In other words, not a band formed in the last few years, that is releasing their first album this year. See WP:BAND for ways to demonstrate that a band is notable (suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia). Independent, reliable, secondary sources must be cited to demonstrate that the group meets the criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:10, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

02:51:54, 15 June 2019 review of draft by ElizabethPBallou

{{SAFESUBST:Void|

Hey, checking in on a question I submitted a while ago. Here's the original text:

I wrote a first draft of this article, and it got rejected for not having enough notable sources/linking to the NYVGCC's website as a source. Since then, I've reworked the page to have higher-quality sources. I've also deleted any facts that couldn't be independently verified in a source other than the nonprofit's website.

My question now is: should I do anything else before I resubmit? Am I making other big mistakes that I don't know about?

Thanks so much for any help you can give!

Request on 14:24:53, 15 June 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jameschamoun


The reason why my article was denied was because it doesn't meet notability criteria. I kept the article short and brief so that other content can be added later on, i have mentioned at least 7 or 8 very reliable sources which include Top magazine names as well as tv channels. I do not understand why it would not meet the notability criteria.

Jameschamoun (talk) 14:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jameschamoun. "Mentioning" magazine names and TV channels does nothing to establish notability. The author, title, date, url, and page number (or whatever bibliographic information is applicable to the source) must be cited, see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to do so. Primary source interviews in which he talks about himself without independent analysis by the interviewer do nothing to demonstrate notability. Be aware that in Wikipedia's current business-skeptical climate, there is almost zero chance of a "young entrepreneur", "best known" for incorporating a company this year, being judged notable. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:51, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blairshwach (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blairshwach. Reread the reviewer's comment. Primary sources are the wrong kind of sources. You want secondary sources, sources like the Chicago Tribune or The Washington Post. Furthermore, only independent sources can establish notability, so not his firm's website and not press releases from his firm. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:30, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @1brianrichardsmith: Please take a look at our notability guidelines. Articles on Wikipedia need to be on subjects that have gained significant attention in reliable, independent sources.

@Falconite007: - excellent question.
If you're editing using the wiki-editor (you write in a box and there are some {{}}) then Ref Beginners "Using the same ref more than once" does a reasonable job at explaining
If you're using the Visual Editor (it looks more like word when you edit, with no {{}} anywhere), then Visual Editor - reusing refs is the place to go.

Hello. Thank you for your assistance. I would like to revise this entry so that it is approved. This article is intended as an informational resource, not advertising or advocacy. CredibleMeds aims to inform consumers about potentially fatal drug interactions.

1. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. CredibleMeds is a free resource that provides information about the potential for certain drug interactions to cause cardiac arrest and aims to reduce drug-induced heart failure. Is this too unbalanced as a Wikipedia article? Perhaps too specific by highlighting Torsades de pointes?

2. We used primarily scientific sources as our references. Would these sources help support the article's legitimacy? http://qtinformatics.com/crediblemeds/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272941081_CredibleMeds_Independent_information_on_medicines https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/treatments/pharmacological/non-opioids/qt-intervals-antidepressants https://holisticprimarycare.net/topics/topics-h-n/holistech/1837-crediblemeds-new-private-public-collaboration-aims-to-reduce-inappropriate-antibiotic-use.html https://cpd.pharmacy.ubc.ca/sites/cpd.pharmacy.ubc.ca/files/uploads/Update_2016/DLi_WS4_Drug_Interact/CredibleMeds%20Filtered%20QTDrug%20List%20Feb%2021%2C%202016.pdf (Univ of British Columbia) https://www.sads.org/living-with-sads/Drugs-to-Avoid#.XQZzNY97nIU

Rishikesan T (talk) 05:29, 17 June 2019 (UTC) Hi,[reply]

My wiki article got rejected with the reason 'do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject'. But the 4 references I have listed are all independent sources and carry necessary information about the subject. The first reference is from an article in Tugboat which is a journal published by TeX users group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUGboat). The second is another article that has been published in https://www.linuxtoday.com/. The third reference is a detailed interview of the subject that has been featured in January 2008 issue of TUG India by the TeX users group. (TeX users group is a community that is mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX). The fourth is again an article from tug.org that has been retrieved from the internet archive. Based on these references, the article that has been submitted is true to the facts. So, I need some clarification on whether it is the way the references has been included that has resulted in the rejection. Considering the case, I request you to kindly look into the matter and provide your recommendations so that I can get my article published at the earliest.Rishikesan T (talk) 05:29, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rishikesan T. The third source (TUGindia) lacks independence and is not secondary. It is a primary source interview in which Radhakrishnan talks about Radhakrishnan, with almost no independent analysis by the interviewer. It could be used as a source, but cannot be used to establish notability.
The other three are short on significant coverage. The first establishes only that Radhakrishnan is the founding secretary of TUGIndia, the second that he is the founder of FreeDevelopers-India, and the third that he is of River Valley Technologies. These are the sort of passing mentions that exist for innumerable people. They do not demonstrate that he is remarkable, significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be an encyclopedia subject. Wikipedia aims to include biographies of people closer in noteworthiness to the likes of Jagadish Chandra Bose, Narendra Modi, R. K. Narayan, or Sam Manekshaw. You may wish to consider alternative outlets, with different inclusion criteria, for what you've written about CV Radhakrishnan. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Swampcygnet (talk) 07:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Swampcygnet. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three sources, but each one has to tick all the boxes across - significant coverage, independent, reliable, and secondary - or it doesn't count.
Source Significant? Independent? Reliable? Secondary? Pass/Fail Notes
Sounds of the Universe Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN An EP listing on a music sales site
Dummy Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Mostly a primary source interview where a participant talks about themselves, although there is one paragraph by the interviewer covering TTY
PRS for Music Foundation Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN A capsule history written by TTY
Clash Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Doesn't mention TTY
NTS Red XN Red XN Question? Red XN Red XN Possibly some deep link contains significant coverage about TTY, but it appears to be just music by TTY
Worldwide FM Green tickY Red XN Question? Red XN Red XN Primary source interview in which TTY members talk about TTY
Total qualifying sources 0 There must be multiple qualifying sources to meet the notability requirements
With only one album released on a notable label, it is likely WP:TOOSOON for TTY to satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria for musicians. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:17, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Draft:AdoptOpenJDK was recently rejected for not being notable enough. I've spoken to @K.e.coffman who has suggested that I get a second opinion.

The project is backed by several notable companies including; IBM, Microsoft, GoDaddy and Pivotal (See https://adoptopenjdk.net/sponsors.html for the full list). AdoptOpenJDK is also referenced in several other Wikipedia articles (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?search=adoptopenjdk&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1). Thanks for taking the time to read this and please do let me know if there is any improvements I can make to the article to rectify the problem.

Gdams1 (talk) 08:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gdams1. Wikipedia articles cover notable topics, ones that have gained significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, as demonstrated by significant coverage in independent reliable sources. A topic is more likely to be suitable if it "became" something rather than is "rapidly becoming" something. Notability is not inherited from the backers of the initiative. Nor does notability derive from being mentioned anywhere in Wikipedia.
The way to convince reviewers that the initiative is notable is to cite three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of it. A common mistake novice editors make is to rely on sources that lack independence, such as primary sources where people involved in the initiative talk about it, or sponsors of the initiative, or trade publications (which have a limited audience and an often too-cozy relationship with entities in the industry they cover).
Books written by people not connected to the initiative would make good sources if they contained at least a page or two about it, especially if published by an academic press. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources discusses the reliability of some other sources you may be familiar with, and may help you understand what factors into whether a source is reliable for a particular purpose or not. It contains links to relevant policies and guidelines, and the reliable sources noticeboard, where discussions of many more sources are archived. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:51, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How can I add the blue columns that say "films" and "television series" to my filmography table?

Britaylor77 (talk) 12:51, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Britaylor77. I'm not sure what you mean, but may be able to steer you in the right direction. Help:Table provides general instructions on how to create tables. If you see good tables in an article, such as the tables of film and television roles in Steve McQueen filmography, the best way to see how they are constructed is to edit them in the source editor. You can copy all or part of the table to your sandbox to experiment with it, just be sure to cancel your editing of the original page without making any changes there. Hope that helps. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:51, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:20:31, 17 June 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by MaryGaulke


Hi! This draft was rejected on grounds of insufficient notability. The subject has been the focus of extensive coverage in The Boston Globe, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, and Boston Business Journal. He is also credited in independent sources with having significant influence on modern fundraising models. In my opinion, Mr. Starr clears the bar set by WP:BIO.

Additionally, the reviewer described the draft as a "fluff piece". I did not omit any negative information available in reliable sources, and I believe my wording is neutral. I also sought out input from editors who have worked on related topics, and Wikiuser100 made some updates to the draft prior to its review.

Would someone be up for taking a look and clarifying where there is room for improvement?

Please note, I have a conflict of interest: I work for a communications agency for which the Pan-Mass Challenge (of which Mr. Starr is founder) is a client. However, I never draft and submit an article on behalf of a client if I don't believe that the subject has encyclopedic value. If nothing else, I would really appreciate any feedback that can help me realign my expectations for my work in the future.

Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:20, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MaryGaulke. One key is the phrase "independently notable" in the reviewer's comment. Examining half of the cited sources at random, only one, The Wellesley Townsman, contains significant coverage of Starr. The other five (Boston Globe 2018, The Eagle-Tribune, Boston Business Journal, STAT, and CapeCode.com) are about PMC, not Starr, and mention him only briefly, usually as the source of a quote about PMC. They do not address Starr directly and in detail, so do not help establish that he is notable. Throw them away, and any others like them, they torpedo your effort.
The second issue is that the draft reads like something put out by the marketing department rather than a biography in an encyclopedia. On this I concur with the reviewer. Judging from this, the fact that it isn't obvious to you how promotional it is, and because of your conflict of interest, you are not the right person to write about Starr. A better approach would be:
  1. Go to Wikipedia:Requested articles and find the best category under which to list your request.
  2. Describe the very basics of how Starr is notable, no more than a couple of lines. Be up-front about your conflict of interest by mentioning it in the request.
  3. Choose the best 3-6 independent reliable sources that contain substantial information about Starr. Don't restrict yourself to Google, major newspaper coverage exists going back to 1981. Provide links in the request for those available online.
  4. You were unable to drum up interest in the topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Massachusetts. There is a more focused Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boston, but it is less active. There is an active community of editors at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Boston. Optionally, post a link there to your request, being sure to mention your conflict of interest so that people reading your post understand where the request is coming from.
Wikipedians are always looking for things to write about, so someone may start an article based on your sources. It often takes a year or two, and won't be the same as the text you produced, but what you produced isn't suitable for an encyclopedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:02, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danielbush, please note that Wikipedia is not intended to be a directory or the yellow pages, and so companies must be demonstrated to be notable through the use of multiple independent, reliable source that discuss the business in significant detail. At present, none of your sources meet this standard--they either are not independent, or else do not actually discuss the company itself or give reasons why it is notable. Hope this helps.

The text in the article was taken directly from the source, it's the only online source from what would qualify as a reputable publisher.

Can you provide guidance on how to change the text, or do you think it's inappropriate to have an article published at all? AngusWOOF (talk)

S923 (talk) 00:00, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi S923. A single source is almost never enough to establish notability, and thereby justify including an article in the encyclopedia. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of their topic. Sources need not be online. Perhaps if you revisit the topic in a few months or years, more will have been written about the company that you could use as source material. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:52, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look over the sources that have been added since the last deletion discussion, and there's just a lot of recapping his social media activity without any significant coverage of him. For example, if I removed all the references that are just author pages (like this, this and this) and trimmed down the play-by-play of his social media activity, then there's not much left.

Hi @Makar.91:, unfortunately that's not what wikipedia is for--it's not an advertising platform and doesn't exist to promote one company over the other. Our standard for what "qualifies" for an article is notability, and having third-party sources discussing the subject of the article in some significance. Right now your only two sources are from the company itself--so not third-party, and a listing without any indication of why the company is important. You'll need to add independent sources discussing Betinvest in order to improve the article. Nolelover (talk) 16:03, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jforakei:, please have a look at our policy here which lays out what a band needs to do to become notable enough for an article. The first criteria, being "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician", is what the reviewer says you fail--the sources you've used are not reliable or independent. Articles on blogspot and such are not sufficient. Furthermore, the fact that other similar bands have articles does not really have any influence on this discussion, as your article is judged on its own merits.

Hi 2600:1700:93B0:1350:A17E:4AE3:D197:4968, your article has been reviewed and declined because there are insufficient reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Request on 18:02:50, 18 June 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by 90210grl


Hi. I am writing about my draft article, "N2 Publishing." I received notice that my submission was not approved because "Article has been deleted several times between 2012-2015."

Does that mean there can never be an article on this topic? A lot has changed since 2015, and I think the article and the sources reflect relevant media coverage warranting this article's inclusion.

I would appreciate any feedback so I know how to proceed.

Thank you.90210grl (talk) 18:02, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]


90210grl (talk) 18:02, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@90210grl: Being deleted before isn't an automatic disqualifier. The editor reviewing the draft probably meant to list that as a comment, not the entire decline reason. The decline reason should've been:

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.

19:10:05, 18 June 2019 review of draft by Mizpat


Hello. I am experienced in editing/copyediting and in WordPress website building, but I am new to Wikipedia article creation, so I am using the Visual Editor and I have some questions.

FYI: I am creating this article as a favor for a former professor and friend, Refugio I Rochin, which I have disclosed.

FYI: I posted this query on my Talk page 4 days ago but haven't seen a response.

FYI: I don't really understand the purpose or workings of the Talk page or the User page for my account.

Q1: I clicked the link Submit your draft for review! and I see it in the page called Category: AfC submissions by date/13 June 2019, but the warning box titled "Draft article not currently submitted for review" is still there. How and when does that warning box go away?

Q2: In the References section is a warning message in red: "Check date values in: |date= (help)." I skimmed the Help page but can't tell what's wrong with the date in the reference. It's similar to all other dates in all other references in the list. Can you identify the problem and how to fix it?

Q3: How and where do I find comments/edits/questions by other WP editors on this article? I've signed up for email notifications and the article is on my Watchlist, but is there anywhere else I can check? Will they show up on this Talk page?

Thank you, Mizpat (talk) 19:10, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have read through the common mistakes/auto information/most copied and pasted answers to this, but I need a little help. Please tell me what I should do, thank you in advance. Ryan N

RyanNewman20 (talk) 19:24, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. Your draft has none. Editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage on the subject. Theroadislong (talk) 19:38, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(ec)Hi RyanNewman20, your submission was rejected because there doesn't appear to be any indication that this specific metric is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. In general, subjects are notable when there is significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. What you have here looks more like a dictionary entry, or something that is more suited to a wiki about fantasy sports, and note that the sources you have are not independent, since it appears that you, the creator of the term, wrote them. Hope this helps. Nolelover (talk) 19:40, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rayne Supple: The editor that left that notice assumed that it was an autobiography because your username matched the article title.

Jarvis crypter, I'm no expert but right now I'd think that you might still need one or two more sources about Informatics. The fact that it operates J-Gate helps, but are there any other sources discussing the importance or the company in that industry?

Prosecutor Gramiccioni has been an integral part of New Jersey law enforcement for over 20 years now. He has an impressive resume as a member of the military, the US Attorney's Office in NJ, working with now former Governor Christopher Christie (many of those who have worked with Christie have their own pages, including Chris' wife, Deboroah Gramiccioni) and now, as the head law enforcement official in Monmouth County, one of the largest counties in New Jersey. I have added further details to his page, please reconsider this request to have his page published. There are many pages on Wikipedia with persons who have similar careers and half of the description and or details on their pages. The resources I have used, majority have been written by local or national authors, unaffiliated with the Prosecutor's Office or Gramiccioni. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I apologies, I was re-submitting the same thing without realising because I was supplied a google doc with the wikipedia ready formatting but it was badly organised. Is there any chance you could re-review the changes I've made? Thank you and I hope you guys can be a bit understanding with the situation.

@95.92.37.92: - your draft's primary issues weren't formatting, but a need for better sourcing.
You have loads of sources, but an issue with finding ones of sufficient quality for a company. Companies have fairly high notability requirements.
You need sources which are "in-depth, secondary (newspapers, books etc), independent (which rules out interviews) and reliable". Sources which many companies have (share prices, IPO declarations etc aren't suitable - see WP:ORGCRIT for a easy but more in-depth consideration).
Finally, blanketing an article with sources actually slows down consideration of reviews. Put the top 4 sources that meet all of the above on the talk page - it'll massively ease the process. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:23, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brickpa, you have not added independent, reliable sources that actually discuss Anandhan in detail.

Hi there,

How can all competitors in the collaborative space be listed on Wikipedia (with an objective description) while SquidHub cannot. Here's a list of just a few:

- Redbooth - Wrike - Teamwork.com - Basecamp (company) - Asana (software) - Trello

You'll see a lot of collaborative/project management/productivity companies being listed if you look at e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Project_management_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Collaborative_software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Groupware

The SquidHub article is written in the same objective and descriptive way as all the other companies listed on Wikipedia. Therefore, we would kindly ask you to review the article again and consider it appropriate for publishing. If you still find it inappropriate, then please let us know what is required before it can be accepted at the same level as all other collaborative platforms currently listed on Wikipedia.

If you need external validation on the platform, you can check some of the articles published by authorative sources like TechRepublic: https://squidhub.com/news

All the best, Andreas

Finally i changed and added some data to the infobox. Hope is enough to make it acceptable. I'm making this article because I found that one of the products has a wikipedia article (Aimsun Live) but the rest of them and the developer don't have anything, so I felt kinda confused.

Hi,
I'd like to improve my article by providing more (reliable) reference sources. I find it rather difficult, though, as it's a general article about an EU institution. I've provided 2 sources already plus 2 reference web-sites. Any ideas how to improve my article even more? This is my first article, so any tips are much appreciated. Of course, I went through an article on referencing in Wikipedia and some others, but I am still struggling with getting my article approved. Thanks.--RomcherChk (talk) 11:39, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RomcherChk, right now your problem is that none of your sources are independent--they all come from EU or Ukrainian government websites. Wikipedia requires notability to be shown through third-party reliable sources that discuss the subject of the article, so has the advisory mission been discussed in any news articles or the like? Without those, it will likely be deleted. If none of these sources exist, perhaps some of the content could be put onto a page like Ukraine–European Union relations?

@Manishsinghon: - Instagram isn't either reliable or a secondary source, and just a high number of google hits doesn't clearly indicate anything. The current issue is that the draft's sources are either from a publication that isn't reliable or isn't independent (the publication or an author has a vested interest in pushing the product - this reasoning also rules out most interviews). There are a couple of exceptions but they don't talk about the company itself for more than a few lines. Companies have higher notability requirements than some other articles, so it needs to be clearly demonstrated Nosebagbear (talk) 20:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
