00:15:40, 14 May 2020 review of draft by Convoeur


Completely at a lost to understand how a submitted article fails the inline citation policy. The citations included are to sources like the New York Times and the Atlantic. From policy: "...they should be reliable; that is, credible published materials with a reliable publication process whose authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand."

Patterned this entry on about three dozen similar entries for other bishops in the Episcopal Church. Unclear what the substantive difference is.

Convoeur (talk) 00:15, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Convoeur I'm quite sure that decline was an error, it's quite easy for a reviewer to accidentally click the wrong decline reason. Please feel free to resubmit it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

01:27:57, 14 May 2020 review of draft by CTR117


I've been attempting to create a article on the company Merle Norman Cosmetics but it has been declined twice because of it being judged that it reads like an advertisement, but I didn't include puffery or use any non-cited material/statements that might cause that result.

When the article was declined the only feedback I received was that it "read like an advertisement" and not why or where it did. Could the article have a quick read-through to leave any recommendations or fixes to avoid it being declined for an advertisement again?

Thanks!

CTR117 (talk) 01:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CTR117 It's promotional because it just tells about the company. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case, the definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 09:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

01:49:09, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Greg c1988


Can I please get someone to re-review this, in light of the additional reference that has been added. Thank you

Greg c1988 (talk) 01:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greg c1988, The additional source does very little. Also, the article has been rejected which means a fellow reviewer has determined there is no hope at this time of demonstrating notability (a decision I endorse) as such it will not be considered further at this time.

05:18:47, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Jschwarz85

Added references as per requests. Jschwarz85 (talk) 05:18, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jschwarz85, The article has already been rejected which means a fellow reviewer has determined there is no shot at currently demonstrating notability. As such, it will not be considered further at this time. Even if it was, the added sources are not compelling and would not meet any notability threshold. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:33, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia refers to Bubbleblabber multiple times when making references as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Bubbleblabber&go=Go&ns0=1

That enough should make notability threshold.

@Jschwarz85: No it doesn't, as sources need to be reliable to count towards Notability, and Wikipedia doesn't consider itself a reliable source. Victor Schmidt (talk) 16:57, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:24:11, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Richard12x


I request a review, as the editor may not think the article is notable however, in the Caribbean region and an entire country it is very notable. I refer to multiple examples of Hotels in the Caribbean with their own pages setting a precedent;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Lane_(resort) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Royal_Pavilion_(Resort) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmond_Cap_Juluca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CuisinArt_Resort_and_Spa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carimar_Beach_Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_Aruba_Resort_%26_Casino https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden_Rock,_St_Barths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheval_Blanc,_St_Barths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Le_Toiny

I believe this is enough reason to re-consider this article for publication

Richard12x (talk) 05:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Richard12x, The article has been rejected, which means it will not be considered further. Notable or not (probably not) the overriding issue is that the page is just a run of the mill advertisement for the hotel. If I had reviewed it I would have nominated it for WP:G11 as being unambiguously promotional. So, in essence, the rejection was probably a pretty friendly response. I would avoid using Wikipedia in the future for advertising. There's better outlets for it. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:52:41, 14 May 2020 review of draft by Daniel Hopwood


I am requesting help as I am not sure why Dhananjay Datar is not Wiki-able. It seems like in the Middle East business world he has had much more than a "passsing" reference. He has been noted by Forbes among other journals. Please explain further.Daniel Hopwood (talk) 05:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:41:06, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Chetali11

Please help in publish the article as there are many glossary pages on wikipedia. Chetali11 (talk) 06:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chetali11 Feel free to point out these other inappropriate pages so they can be addressed. We can only address what we know about. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate pages to go undetected, even for years.

15:40:07, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Trashfan


Nora Baldenweg is featured in the article Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg. The purpose of this article is to have Nora Baldenweg added to the categories like "female film score composers" which apply only to her. Thank you for helping me finalise this article to meet Wikipedia standards.

17:06:52, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Doogierev


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

Thank you,

Doogie.

19:34:16, 14 May 2020 review of draft by EricaVonnn


First Question: My chart was denied for "lack of context." If I am writing a page about the Hite Art Institute, what sort of information is needed to provide context for their department heads? Can I publish components as I go, or do I need to finish the whole page before I publish? I assumed the lacking context was that the page was submitted unfinished, but I wanted to make sure I understood before my content was declined again and deleted. Should I keep publishing items to my sandbox in order to keep them saved and then publish the page as a whole?

Second Question: I have drawn from a fair amount of unpublished historical information from first-hand accounts within the department. For instance, one professor wrote a log from the 1960s of how many classes were being taught, how many buildings we had, the local organizations involved, etc. This was kept as a record for the department, not published. How do I cite this? I have his name and the essay title, and I could find out the year that he wrote it, but again it was not "published" for the remaining portions of the citation.

20:58:17, 14 May 2020 review of submission by Naaomii9903


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

Naaomii9903 (talk) 20:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Naaomii9903 If this social media channel does not have significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, it would not merit an article on Wikipedia at this time, no matter how well you write it. Facebook merits an article because multiple independent reliable sources have written about it. Wikipedia is not interested in what the channel says about itself, as Wikipedia exists only to summarize what others say about it. 331dot (talk) 21:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

331dot (talk) 21:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

331dot I have added references, reliable references that has been talking about the news agency. But still it was declined. The only reason I can guess why they were suspected as not reliable is because they are in Arabic. Can it be because of that? Naaomii9903 (talk) 12:04, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:36:50, 14 May 2020 review of draft by BGT1538

03:53:25, 15 May 2020 review of submission by 2601:CA:C300:18A0:4CC7:8C08:D57C:4322

Don’t understand how the topic is not notable with a reliable source 2601:CA:C300:18A0:4CC7:8C08:D57C:4322 (talk) 03:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, networthpost.org is not a reliable source. Furthermore, a single source is almost never enough. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, second sources containing significant coverage of their topic. The rejection of the draft is meant to convey that no such sources exist, so no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable. Consequently volunteers do not intend to review it again. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:21, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:17:57, 15 May 2020 review of submission by Mintumondal24

Hello Helpdesk,

This is Mintu. I have been on wikipedia since last month. As you might have noticed my contribution on Wikipedia. I have been wondering to create an article that I know very closely. I have tried to modifiy one of the draft page in Wikipedia to enhance my skills. So, I got notification yesterday that my contribution has been declined again.

Could you please let me know why this page declined again? It would be great for me if you can guide me on how to create page or article on wikipedia? I have read all the guidelines here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_create_a_page) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Your_first_article) but still I am unable to publish aritcle. I don't know why... I have tried to give proper citation when I write any information.

Please help me!

Prompt reply is highly appreciable

Warm Regards, Mintu Mintumondal24 (talk) 05:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mintumondal24. The reason the draft was rejected is that the company is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Creating new articles is time consuming, frustrating, and overrated. There are millions of easier and better ways of improving the encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Community portal for how to help. After you've built up a few months or years of editing experience, you will be better prepared to create articles. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi (talk), Thank you for your response and I appreciate it to guide me. I will definitely enhance the editing experience from wikipedia communtiy portal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mintumondal24 (talk • contribs) 06:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

05:49:38, 15 May 2020 review of draft by Artemes


I am asking for help on references. I have as many or more as other people in this cateory, plus the subject was publishes in the Spanish Wikipedia site with many fewer references. Looking for some guidance

Artemes (talk) 05:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I need assistance on addition references. I added similar references from other peolpe in the category. Also the subject was published in the spanish wikipedia site with less references. Looking for some guidance

Artemes (talk) 05:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

07:09:03, 15 May 2020 review of draft by 89.143.175.21


Dear Rewiever,

Thank you for fast and prompt response. However, Probably as many others, I am not familiar with the Wikipedia, since I am a new member. I received a negative response regarding green tribology, however, I would like to ask for help. How to link/merge the short content, which I proposed to the existing article Tribology? I would appreciate your time.

Kind regards, Marko

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Green_tribology

89.143.175.21 (talk) 07:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Markotint: Wikipedia:Merging explains the process. The reviewer has performed step #2 for you. Go back and do step #1: on Talk:Tribology create a new section explaining why Tribology would be improved by merging Draft:Green tribology into it. Wait a week for discussion to take place (step #3). If there is no discussion, or if the consensus is clearly to merge, continue with steps #4 and #5. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My page has not been improved by 1292simon, who doesn't give any reason. As I'm a a beginner in creating Wikipedia page, I don't understand how to contact him in order to exchange with him, although its page to contact him is mentionned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:1292simon

How to do that?

11:40:04, 15 May 2020 review of draft by Pt8340


This article is written fully Neutral point of view all the information in it is from reliable , information and reputated sources like Times of India, Forbes India, Business Standard, CNBC TV18, Business World, The Economic Times, India Today. So this is notable topic. Anybody can check all the information in the article from reliable source as mention above.so this is verifiable This article has been written responsibly, cautiously and in a dispassionate tone without understatement and overstatement with all information from independent and reliable sources. All information in the article is attributable to reliable and published source. So there is No original research. He has received singnificant coverage in multiple published sources that are independent to each other and independent to the subject. And he has received India's young Achiever 2016, Included in the Forbes 30 under 30 finance list, He was mentioned in Forbes India maiden tycoons of Tomorrow list. So this is notable. This is following every policy and guidelines of Wikipedia. So this should be live on Wikipedia

Pt8340 (talk) 11:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am one of the three separate reviewers who declined it. The article is sourced from notices, press releases, and promotional interviews with the principals the the company, which also do not count as independent sources. The many 30 under 30 awards are basically promotionalism, and at most show the company might be notable someday in the future. The editor was asked about possible COI, and has not yet answered, DGG ( talk ) 16:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have improved this page after your review. And most of the references are reliable, secondary sources that are independent to the subject written by independent journalist. And his company and brother has already Wikipedia page.Please review this page and it live on Wikipedia @DGG:

Your only two articles are on a financial service and the proprietor of a financial service. You have now declared that you have no coi. My decline is not a veto. In fact, I think it fair that, if I decline to accept an article, another reviewer look at it the next time, to avoid any possible preconceptions or unconscious bias. So any other reviewer who wants to take responsibility can accept it. As advice, it's probably not a good idea for anyone to begin their wiki-career with an article about a er service or executive, or about a noncommercial organization or charity or school. Rather, start with something that will unquestionably qualify, such as a legislator or former legislator. DGG ( talk ) 19:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:12:35, 15 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by VarlamTikhonovich


A crafted an article in the English language wikipedia.

My article is a translation of an article in the Spanish wikipedia regarding a modestly prominent Uruguayan artist.

The piece was rejected with the statement:

"Wikipedia is not a resume service. Needs more external news sources to show notability for this person."

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

Is there one standard for Spanish language articles and a different standard that excludes many artists who are more familiar to Spanish language users?

If the English language article must NOT exist, why is there a different view regarding the Spanish language article ?


VarlamTikhonovich (talk) 18:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi VarlamTikhonovich. Yes, the standards may be different. Each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by the community of editors who contribute there. So an article may satisfy the rules for the Spanish Wikipedia but not the English one, or vice versa. Another thing to consider is that existence of an article doesn't mean that it meets the policies and guidelines, or that it should exist. It could be just that no one has gotten around to improving it or deleting it yet. You can try to find better sources and rewrite your effort to be more in line with the English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (see WP:FA for examples of high-quality articles). Or you can move on to something else. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hey (talk) How does Wikipedia guard against unconscious bias ? Or does it ?

It is inevitable that editors will attribute greater value or significance to things that English language culture values, and derogate the value of significance of things that English language culture finds less valuable or important.

VarlamTikhonovich

If you think a page shows undue bias, you are welcome to tag it with WP:NPOV issues or discuss it on the article's talk page. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:48, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@VarlamTikhonovich: WikiProject Countering systemic bias is entirely devoted to the issue. Many other projects, such as WikiProject Uruguay and WikiProject Islam, involve themselves in guarding against unconscious bias against particular groups. One of the most effective targeted efforts has been WikiProject Women in red. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You were given a reason, are you not able to see the decline message at the top of the article?
more precisely, you wrote an extremely negative unsourced article about an organization--an organization about which we already have a properly sourced properly balanced wikipedia article. It would be better to start with some subject about which it is easier to write a neutral article, and to always add references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements DGG ( talk ) 19:31, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

19:40:59, 16 May 2020 review of submission by Knowledgenerd95

Hi, the article was declined because it says it not of notability and YouTube and IMDb are not reliable sources. There are other sources that are not blogs or social media links, they’re articles available on google news. From what I understand, these are reliable sources are they describe the life and career of the person described in the article and they’re present on the news. Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE READ THE ADDED REFERENCES, 11,12,13,14 to see if they qualify. thank you Knowledgenerd95 (talk) 19:58, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Knowledgenerd95 Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning that the reviewer feels there is little to no chance it can be improved enough to meet Wikipedia standards. Please heed the advice you were given by the reviewers. 331dot (talk) 22:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Knowledgenerd95: The draft describes the subject as a "rising star", which is generally synonymous with "not notable" (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Medium.com is a blog, not a reliable source. Citing it is another uncannily reliable sign that the subject is not notable. US Times Now, The Open News, and Verna Magazine are promotional junk from him or his publicist, with no signs of independence and none of the characteristics of reliable sources. Rejection (without the option of resubmission) was the correct call on the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iapsingh. Rejection of the draft is meant to convey that the subject is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, whatever your personal feelings are).

01:58:39, 17 May 2020 review of draft by LittleDinghy


Today I created my first Wikipedia account, created my user page and sandbox page, and started editing on my sandbox page using "Edit," which I'm more comfortable with than the "Edit Source." What I've written so far on the page explains how I want to use the page. Using "Edit," I've added two equations on the page, both numbered by using the citation feature. However, the citation list is not showing at the bottom of the page as I expected. Note that I put the equations in the citations as well, so as to have a list of all equations on the page in one place, with a link back to each equation reference on the page.

How can I get the equation citation list to show when published? It shows when in "Edit" mode, but not when published.

Thank you! LittleDinghy from Seattle.

My question is what is the difference between his page being published and Undrafted free agents from this years draft class Brosenow (talk) 06:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brosenow Please see other stuff exists; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, and can only act on what they know about, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected. That isn't a reason for yours to exist. If you'd care to give an example of an existing article like yours, we can give you a better answer, but either 1) the existing article meets a different notability criteria or 2) the article is inappropriate and just hasn't been addressed yet. It appears that Malik Taylor does not meet the Wikipedia definition of a notable football player because he has not yet appeared in a NFL game. Once he does, he will merit an article. You can certainly maintain your draft until the football season to see if he appears in a game. 331dot (talk) 07:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:00:58, 17 May 2020 review of submission by Ogeode

I am requesting a re-review because my initial copy was rejected. I have made several adjustments to the post so far. I also sorted help from the chat room and made the recommended adjustments. Thanks. Ogeode (talk) 10:00, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ogeode. AllBaze is user-generated promotional content, not an independent reliable source. This Day (via PressReader) is churnalism that briefly quotes Ogboruche; it is not significant coverage of him. The two pieces in The Guardian (Nigeria) similarly quote him briefly but are not significant coverage of him. Gospotainment.com doesn't mention Ogboruche. A personal blog like www.lindaikejisblog.com is not a reliable source, and must never be used as a source of information about a living third party. That particular post is a press release from Tehila Records. If you could prove it was written by Ogboruche, you would be allowed to cite it, but it would not be an independent source, so would not help establish notability.
Rejection is meant to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem, it's hopeless. So volunteers do not intend to review the draft again. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:43:45, 17 May 2020 review of submission by Giraffer

Hi,

I tried to create an page for my userbox (in my sandbox) to be published under the name 'User:UBX/CGPGreyCatan' but it got rejected as it was said to be empty. I have already posted about this on the teahouse but I thought AfC might be helpful as well.

I'm not entirely sure why it got rejected. The user (not bot) that rejected it said it was blank but it has a userbox on it. Is this the wrong place to create a userbox?

Thanks in advance, Giraffer (talk) 10:43, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giraffer. Potential articles go through the Articles for Creation review process. Userboxes are not potential articles and should not be submitted for review. You can test your userbox in your sandbox, then copy it to wherever you plan to host it, such as User:UBX/CGPGreyCatan. You don't need to involve anyone else. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening! I am puzzled as to why a reference to an article in the major Hong Kong daily newspaper, for example, is regarded as unreliable or unverifiable. If you are unable to see the article, I can send a cutting as an email attachment. Also, why is a reference to Asian Cha, an online literary journal based in Hong Kong regarded as unreliable or unverifiable? If I provide a reference, do you also require it to be repeated as an in-text citation? Grateful for your guidance! Fraserburgh (talk) 15:12, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear that anyone has said they're unreliable? BUT YouTube and blogs ARE unreliable, it would help if you removed them. Theroadislong (talk) 15:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:19, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcastic right? Are you guys even notable to become an admins of Wiki?? I use to be a user with reviewer role i left it because of crapy admins. No offense to you. But that's the ugly truth.

@41.143.109.56: you don't need to be notable to become an admin on Wikipedia. In fact, more than 90% of the editors I interact with are not notable or at least don't have an obvivous article on themself]]. Further, I recommend that you have a read of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

Enzz.v It is not necessarily administrators that are declining your draft. The reviewers have told you why they declined it- is there something that you don't understand about the explanation? Your draft does little more than tell that the school exists. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about the school. If no such sources exist, it would not merit an article. 331dot (talk) 14:42, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is a useless explanation. I have seen other schools with 1) only their website as a source 2) No more information that this one and they are live on wikipedia. Also all the sources cited provide enough information to prove that the school exists!

@Enzz.v and 331dot: Please have a read of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Many articles on Wikipedia were created before we we began the ridiculous articles for creation process, and we can only act on things we know. If you could provide a link to such article, we could act on this. Victor Schmidt (talk) 16:28, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Enzz.v Other problematic articles existing does not mean yours can too. See WP:OSE. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about. Feel free to point out these other articles so action can be taken. As I said, it is not a matter of proving that the school exists. 331dot (talk) 16:31, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Hi Enzz.v. Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. Articles about schools are an interesting case. They have long been required to be notable in order to be included, but for many years there was a parallel contradictory practice that as long as they were high schools or above and could be proven to exist, they would not be deleted. The inconsistency was more or less resolved a few years ago, and substandard school articles are gradually being improved or deleted. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's current policies and guidelines does not mean they are "allowed". It may simply mean that no one has gotten around to deleting them yet. They are not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rescuderomonte I regret to say that Wikipedia is completely unconcerned with what your work has tasked you with doing. Related to that, you must read and formally comply with the paid editing policy; a Terms of Use requirement. You should also read conflict of interest. You wrote a blatant advertisement for your firm. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell about themselves. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about topics that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable organization, please review). Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, only in what others say about it. Typically, articles are written by independent editors that take note of a subject in reliable sources and choose on their own to write about it. If you just want to tell the world about this pro bono firm, you should use social media or a website owned and operated by your firm.

I created the article in good faith and only used publicly available information from their website, Google, and the news publication it is mentioned. It was not intended to be a promotion or advertising. It is only supposed to describe the company, as it is portrayed in the industry and with what is available in the news and doing an internet search. They're a big player in Australia in terms of financial advice and stock advices, I use them myself and I believe they should be mentioned in case potentital customer would like to know more information about them. I'm happy to help update the content that seemed like an ad to you guys or even participate in making a new one.

Brett Pretty Wikipedia articles should not merely tell about the subject. That's considered promotional on Wikipedia. They should only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about the subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, a notable company). Wikipedia has no interest in helping potential customers of your company; this is an effort to write an encyclopedia of human knowledge for the benefit of humanity, not to just tell the world about companies.

I would like to find out why my article was rejected. I got the response This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia

JohnMabhegede (talk) 06:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JohnMabhegede That's why it was rejected- your topic does not meet the Wikipedia definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 14:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I feel like this new article was unfairly rejected, but I have modified it in any case to include even more neutral sources and more factual information which show the notability of the company. I did not feel that it was ever written from the viewpoint of the company, not least because I have nothing to do with them. I hope that this revised draft now meets the criteria. Thank you for your consideration. Bluegene18 (talk) 09:00, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bluegene18 Your draft was rejected, after being declined twice, meaning it will not be considered further. It does not appear that this company meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable company, as shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The sources you offered appear to be press releases or routine business announcements, which do not establish notability. Please read Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 09:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to format the algebraic symbol x. MathsGeek14 (talk) 10:16, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MathsGeek14:The problem of the matical x is not a big problem when using using the TeX extension of the Software behind Wikipedia. The bigger issiue is that your draft currently has zero reliable sources to allow readers to verify whats in there. Victor Schmidt (talk) 16:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request a re-review for Sedgwick Richardson submission, the information submitted are factual and non-promotional.

Larisselava (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Larisselava Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning it will not be considered further as there is little to no chance it can be improved sufficiently to meet standards. On Wikipedia, "promotional" does not just mean actively soliciting customers or selling something. It means merely telling about something. Wikipedia articles must do more than merely tell about something, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage(not brief mentions, routine announcements, or press releases) say about the subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable company).
If you work for this company, you must review and comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 14:33, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:46:33, 19 May 2020 review of submission by Mostfan2020

Dear WikiTeam, first of all, thanks for a quick review of my input. Two days ago I created an entry dedicated to the well-known Russian journalist Sergey Mostovshchikov. However it has appeared trickier than I thought to get it published. I agree in a way that the first version was opinionated. That is why I did my best to make it as neutral as possible. However as I resubmitted the second version, it was declined again. I can not really see why. There are no peacock terms there anymore. As for the links I have provided those available. Most of them are in Russian, because the person I am writing about comes from this country and the job he does is not related to foreign affairs. Maybe that is the problem. Is my understanding correct that Wikipedia can have multilingual entires on people who are not necessarily covered by the English-speaking media? I would be most grateful for your reply. Also, if there are any ideas how to improve the text, please let me know. Best regards Alex Mostfan2020 (talk) 15:46, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:30:48, 19 May 2020 review of draft by MichaelHolemans


Hey guys,

I submitted my article for review 2 weeks ago after (hopefully) adjusting and fixing all my errors you so helpfully pointed out. Due to some miscommunication the wrong draft got reviewed though, within half an hour of submitting it, which I quickly tried to fix and then resumbit. I think something might have gone wrong though and I'm not sure if my CBR article is now under review correctly...

Also, if there is anything else which I should change in the article, please let me know and I'll fix it asap. Thanks a bunch for the help!

Hi Zayn51786. As explained on the draft, it has been declined because you are not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 22:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:47:24, 19 May 2020 review of submission by Smokethatskinwagon


Your last reply makes ZERO sense. A category, is a category. It does not have any significance as to one being more important than another. if that where the case, why have nominations or awards. A nomination or award is recognition. I dispute your claim that just because it isn't a national personality award, that it doesn't matter. Your response and reasoning is discriminator, and biased.

I am asking for a higher review, from someone running Wikipedia, that is paid, and that isn't a volunteer.

Smokethatskinwagon (talk) 17:47, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are all volunteers here, we all run Wikipedia, none of us are paid? Theroadislong (talk) 18:55, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you are genuinely looking for help, telling fellow reviewers they are discriminatory, biased or telling them to "fuck off" probably isn't a good start. Nor is repeatedly disputing "claims" instead of actually taking the time and care to understand our notability policies. In terms of our notability guidelines, there is a very clear distinction between being nominated for and winning an award. Even if the subject wins the award, that doesn't guarantee notability, as it's a very minor/specific award. It would be enough to warrant a reconsideration if and when they do win the award. Until then, this subject wholly fails our notability guidelines and won't be considered further. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know why my article was denied. My great-grandmother founded the neighborhood and I am using her a primary source. Other articles have been published on Wikipedia about other neighborhoods in Columbus, Georgia, For example, Green Island neighborhood (and that page does not have any references) MaryDowningKate (talk) 01:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MaryDowningKate, As already stated on my talk page, your sources do not demonstrate notability. Neighborhoods such as this are rarely notable. We would need to see significant coverage of the neighborhood in multiple reliable and secondary sources. Also, please see WP:INN. If you have issues with another article, you can tag it appropriately or nominate it for deletion. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I need help regarding a cite. I was editing the page Draft:BeastBoyShub adding some proper references. And I realize, nearly all of the content on the page is sourced from several videos from the channel itself. I needed to cite the proper timings on the videos, but I can't submit it since youtu.be is blacklisted. How do I cite them? User:ThisIsACreeper0101 (T • C | Fandom) 10:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't quite understand everything clearly. I meant, I can't use the site youtu.be in {{Cite web}}, since it's blacklisted. So how do I cite YouTube videos? And ould I get a reply to this text in clear words? Thanks! User:ThisIsACreeper0101 (T • C | Fandom) 10:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

11:43:23, 20 May 2020 review of draft by Nycinuk


Hi - I am very confused why this keeps on getting rejected.

This is a major major development in central London that I walk past when I go to work every day. It's huge and a massive landmark and should be on Wikipedia. It also includes Denmark Street which is world famous. I don't see how my post reads like an advertisement - there is no hyperbole, no inflated claims nor anything that isn't verifiable from the extensive list of citations I have put together and includes coverage in major mainstream UK media for example The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times, the London Evening Standard, The Independent, Sky News, CityAM etc all reflecting the fact this is a major development with a footfall of millions and is of public interest.

Could I please ask you to re-review?

Request on 13:25:34, 20 May 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Chimpwithcans


I am trying to create an article/page for a band in Kenya. The Nairobi Hootenanny. It has been playing since 1967, has had albums made, continues to be the foremost folk group in Kenya and a big part of the Nairobi social and musical scene - but my article was rejected because there is not a lot of coverge of the band out there.

They have an active Facebook page, and they still play pretty regularly.

My question is - should they be classified as something other than a musician? Perhaps something cultural?

They are a large part of Nairobi social life and have contributed millions to charity over the last 50 years.

Any help in classification and publication would be much appreciated.
