04:58, 27 November 2024 review of submission by Otaneka

[edit]

My page was declined due to missing footnotes. I'm unsure of how to add the footnotes. Can an experienced editor complete this task? Otaneka (talk) 04:58, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Otaneka: nobody else can really do that for you, at least not without considerable difficulty, because we don't know from which source each piece of information came from. The process is explained at WP:REFB, please see that for advice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please merge this page with Devendra Rajesh Kothe new page or already existing subject Venugo (talk) 05:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Venugo: there is no miraculous Merge-a-matic® article merger, it's just a case of manually editing the content to selectively insert information (and references) from one article to another; or, if you like, improving and supplementing one article with information appearing in the other. In any case, this isn't something we do here at the help desk, that's your job (or the job of whoever wishes such merging to be done). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:16, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have a project that makes a new topic and I chose to make a new card game that was released 1 year ago UnionArena most of the resources are on the official site I don't know how to find other sites that can Improve my topic which got declined HewRamen (talk) 06:32, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @HewRamen: Wikipedia doesn't publish articles on things that merely exist (with some exceptions, like major geographical features or most species), but rather on things that have been previously covered in the media. Wikipedia articles then (mostly) summarise what media outlets, and more specifically reliable and independent secondary sources, have said. If such sources don't exist, then they cannot be summarised, and a Wikipedia article on the subject cannot be created; this is described as the subject not being "notable" enough for publication. I expect this is what we're dealing with here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

07:30, 27 November 2024 review of submission by Commercialindustrial

[edit]

Hello, I’m seeking guidance on how to improve this draft. It has been rejected multiple times for reading like an advertisement.

I have made several attempts to rewrite it with a more neutral tone, but I’m struggling to get it approved. To me, it seems neutral, but I may be missing something. Could anyone point out specific sentences or sections that come across as promotional? I would appreciate your feedback so I can make the necessary edits. Commercialindustrial (talk) 07:30, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Commercialindustrial: this draft has now been rejected (after multiple earlier declines), and will therefore not be considered further. Hence, there seems little point in analysing it further.
You have stated that you are not being paid to edit on this subject. In that case, could you please describe, in your own words, your relationship with Quintessential? Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:34, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the draft has been rejected multiple times, and I appreciate the concerns raised. My intention with this draft is to provide a factual and encyclopaedic entry for the company, relying on reliable, independent sources that establish its notability.
To clarify, I do not have any connection to the company, nor am I being paid for this submission. My sole aim is to contribute verifiable information about a subject that, in my view, meets Wikipedia’s notability standards due to significant independent coverage in reputable publications and its contributions to the industry. Commercialindustrial (talk) 07:51, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Commercialindustrial: just to clarify, this draft has not been rejected multiple times; it has been declined multiple times, and rejected once. The difference may seem pedantic, but is actually substantive: decline means that the draft can be resubmitted once the decline reasons have been addressed; rejection means it cannot.
You registered your user account, and as your very first edit created a draft on Quintessential in your sandbox User:Commercialindustrial/sandbox, followed shortly after that by creating the same at Draft:Quintessential (company). To date, your entire edit history has to do with Quintessential. Yet you have no relationship with them. Well okay then, if you say so. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the clarification regarding the difference between “declined” and “rejected.” I appreciate your explanation, as it helps me better understand the process and policies.
Regarding my account activity, you are correct that my edits have focused on this draft. This is because I registered my account specifically to contribute information about this topic I believe is deserving of an encyclopaedic entry. While my editing experience is limited, I am eager to learn and improve to ensure my contributions align with Wikipedia’s standards. Thank you again for your time and assistance. Commercialindustrial (talk) 08:10, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're just wondering how you came to edit about this topic- you didn't pick it at random to edit about. Do you intend to edit about other topics? 331dot (talk) 09:17, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I intend to edit other topics as well. Since I live in the neighbourhood of this topic, I chose to contribute to it because I believe it is deserving of an encyclopaedic entry. Commercialindustrial (talk) 01:31, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:49, 27 November 2024 review of submission by Maumau1978

[edit]

Dear help desk team,

I would like to provide better source for my draft on Automad. Therefore I have the two following questions:

1. Is it ok to use references in other languages. In example having an article written in English that references a webpage written in German? 2. I can see that articles about related subjects in the same space provide a similar set of sources such as the pages of Drupal, Bolt, CMSimple, Grav, Made-Simple, just to name a few. More can be found here in the PHP section. What is the main difference here and how can I improve my article to be notable?

Thank you in advance and all the best! Maumau1978 (talk) 08:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References do not need to be in English, as long as they meet all other requirements for being reliable sources. It's not a good idea to use any random article as a model or example, as those too could be inappropriate and just not addressed yet by a volunteer. Each article or draft is judged on its own merits and not based on the presence of others that themselves may be inappropriate. See other stuff exists. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those that are classified as good articles, which have been examined by the community. 331dot (talk) 09:11, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can you advise what I should do improve this article and meet Wikipedia standards? 118.69.188.172 (talk) 09:46, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have resubmitted it for review, the reviewer will leave you feedback. Please see the messages left by the previous reviewers. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:03, 27 November 2024 review of submission by Kwame lemuel

[edit]

my project was deniad Kwame lemuel (talk) 11:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwame lemuel your poorly-formatted draft was declined, meaning you can still improve it and resubmit. The formatting seems to be Markdown - did you copy this from somewhere? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:08, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:31, 27 November 2024 review of submission by YamunaIRE

[edit]

Why does this page have to be speedy deleted? YamunaIRE (talk) 18:31, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's AI-generated spam, @YamunaIRE. qcne (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:42, 27 November 2024 review of submission by WIKI.THEMASTER

[edit]

I'm creating a page to explain the benefits of taking online traffic school, trying to understand the approval process WIKI.THEMASTER (talk) 18:42, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @WIKI.THEMASTER, Wikipedia doesn't host AI-generated essays or how-to guides. Wikipedia articles are summaries of independent reliable secondary sources. qcne (talk) 18:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WIKI.THEMASTER: This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. We don't accept AI-generated text anywhere on Wikipedia due to its inability to stay on-topic and its tendency to make things up out of whole cloth to support whatever arguments the prompt demands. We also do not accept essays or other forms of original research no matter if it is written by a human or an AI chatbot. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:06, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:00, 27 November 2024 review of submission by 70.23.62.81

[edit]

Hello, I am a manager for musician Gloria Sabra. Please either approve the page for musician Gloria Sabra, or re-edit to have it approved. You can check that Gloria is a musician and her music is available on major music streaming platforms. Thank you. 70.23.62.81 (talk) 21:00, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, the draft was rejected (not just declined) on 8 November, as not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia.
Secondly, if you are her manager, then you must make a formal declaration of your status as a paid editor. This is a requirement of its terms of service.
Thirdly, Wikipedia is not social media or a listing service. It is not enough that Sabra is a musician or that her music is available. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and any article about her should be based almost 100% on what people wholly unconnected with her have chosen to publish about her in reliably published sources, nothing else. Your draft, even after three declines, cites not one reliable source, and therefore makes no claim that she meets Wikipedia's criteria on notability.
