[edit]

can you help me to understand what Wikipedia can carry...as per the guidelines we have added the content Mackmahak (talk) 05:11, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mackmahak: I'm not sure what you're asking, but this draft has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:10, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

06:19, 28 November 2024 review of submission by Sujitbus

[edit]

Hi Admin, The edit text for my biography has been declined. So I want to know how I can Fixed the issue. Sujitbus (talk) 06:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sujitbus: there is insufficient evidence of notability; you need to show how you are notable by either the WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR or WP:NACTOR standard.
Also, articles on living people require inline citations. Please see WP:REFB for advice.
Finally, if this is about you, please read and understand our autobiography policy WP:AUTOBIO. In short, autobiographies are very strongly discouraged. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:05, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DoubleGrazing,
Yes It's my autobiography. inline citations is missing on my bio page. So I'll update on same. and I'm fulfill of notability I have articles and I'm award winner Author including actor who's worked on Indian TV shows and some notable movies. Sujitbus (talk) 09:17, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also suggest that you read WP:PROUD. There are good reasons to not want an article about yourself. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

any suggestions for this article to get accepted in wiki Tizzythewhale (talk) 07:47, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tizzythewhale: this draft was rejected (months ago) for lack of evidence of notability. If you wish to appeal the rejection, you need to take your case to the rejecting reviewer, with evidence of notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:50, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

07:53, 28 November 2024 review of submission by AviKluger

[edit]

My Draft was rejected: "This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner." I am interested in improving the Draft so it might be accepted in the future. Yet, I did not understand the comments. For example, it says, "Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources," while my Draft contains 27 peer-reviewed journal articles as secondary resources. What am I missing here? Could you please direct me to existing entries considered exemplary in this domain so they can serve as a model for improving my Draft? AviKluger (talk) 07:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AviKluger: This reads more like a research paper about the method, mixed with an instruction manual on how to do it. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jéské Couriano thank you very much for this helpful clarification. Could you please suggest a few model entries in related fields so I can attempt to revise my entry successfully? Avi AviKluger (talk) 10:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:24, 28 November 2024 review of submission by Wertk

[edit]

I do agree with the "not sufficient content" as this article requires more info & citations but "Submission should be merged into an existing article" with Arrest_of_Imran_Khan is not ideal because that event happened in 9 May 2023. The indiscriminate killing of civilians by security forces in Islamabad happened on 26 Nov 2024 with at "least" confirmed deaths of 17 individuals as per the Guardian newspaper. Event of this magnitude deserve its own page and we have many such examples on wikipedia. Perhaps the name could be changed to less charged language like '26 November Incident'. Wertk (talk) 08:24, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wertk: okay... so what is your question? This draft has been resubmitted (without any improvement, which is never a good idea, although I can see some edits were made after that), so you will get a new review sooner or later.
If you haven't already done so, you may want to review our guideline on notability of events, at WP:EVENT. Given that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a news outlet, just because an event has occurred doesn't necessarily mean that we should have an article on it. (Note, I'm not saying that we should not have an article on this particular event, just making a general point.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:11, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel that the reviewers have gotten it wrong, you are free to move the draft into the encyclopedia yourself(though it's not a good idea unless you have experience in having articles accepted, which you don't). This process is (usually) voluntary. You would be taking the risk, though, that it would get nominated for deletion. 331dot (talk) 09:12, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This would be declined since we already have an article on this, and this falls into a contentious topic anyway. New users should stay as far away from contentious topics as possible. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:20, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:37, 28 November 2024 review of submission by Anonpriest

[edit]

The draft was declined because of it's resources. I would assistance on finding other resources if any and if possible to mention why the resources I provided were not adequate. Anonpriest (talk) 08:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonpriest: to be more precise, this draft was declined because it does not demonstrate notability, which, indeed, is usually a problem with the sources. You should be writing this by summarising what reliable and independent sources have said about the subject, and then citing those sources as its references. Assuming that's what you have done, then it could be that the subject really isn't notable enough. In any case, we don't do the research for you, that's very much your job as the draft author. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:06, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suspicious message

[edit]

Hi,

I received message from Laiba Fareed stating that against 1000$ she will approve my article and will maintain it for the next 8 months. I see this as a potential scam but as long as this is my first article in Wikipedia I am not sure if this is just a scam or this is some agent working for Wikipedia and trying to win some extra cash for work which is usually free. Strange aspect of the conversation was that the conversation happened in WhatsApp not in the Wikipedia website (as normally happened till now). Could you please provide me with some information and also check what is the status of my draft because I think that I am pretty close to approval and she knows it (if she really is a moderator for Wikipedia) and just before publishing the article she tries to earn extra money. I am open to hear your opinion and I hope that soon my article will be approved :)

Best Regards, Lstr1 (talk) 08:51, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lstr1, that is a scam and unfortunately a common one. Wikipedia will never ask for money in exchange for editing services.
Please immediately follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Scam warning and report the user to the Wikimedia Foundation. qcne (talk) 09:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Lstr1: I've no idea who Laida Fareed is, but you're right, this is almost certainly a scam; see WP:SCAM for advice on dealing with it. And do not pay any money, there's a high chance you won't get anything for it, nor get it back. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you all for the fast response. I will definitely report this lady. Lstr1 (talk) 09:22, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:33, 28 November 2024 review of submission by IlikeCubepidia

[edit]

Dear Reader,

I trust this message finds you well. As part of my ongoing efforts to craft a comprehensive and highly informative tutorial, I am focusing on the nuanced task of opening a Chromebook while simultaneously holding a full glass of coconut juice. It would be nice if you gave me any tips or improvments for next time because my article got rejected which i could not understand why. IlikeCubepidia (talk) 10:33, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't vandalise Wikipedia, @IlikeCubepidia, which is what your draft was. You may be blocked from editing if you vandalise further. qcne (talk) 10:36, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@IlikeCubepidia: I've deleted your draft (such as it was), as it clearly had nothing to do with our objective of building an encyclopaedia. Please find a different platform for your tutorials. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am very sorry and did not have any intent to vandilize wikipedia but its just very hard to find things to write about that someone else hasnt written about these days. IlikeCubepidia (talk) 10:40, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@IlikeCubepidia: there are countless ways to contribute here, besides creating new articles. In fact, new users would be well advised to contribute in just about any other way, before attempting to write their first article. I will post some suggestions on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@IlikeCubepidia Check out Special:Homepage which includes suggested edits to existing articles which would be a really good place to start. qcne (talk) 10:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:37, 28 November 2024 review of submission by Purnarthapms

[edit]

I wish to know in detail why the request was declined. Moreover, this is the page of a renowned Indian Entrepreneur. In the reference section, all the key references have been provided pertaining to the person. Request you to kindly review the same. Purnarthapms (talk) 10:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Purnarthapms: because it was purely promotional, with no evidence of notability.
And you clearly have a conflict of interest, which must be disclosed without delay. I've already posted instructions on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:39, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no undisclosed payment. I am an employee of this company and I have posted the information of my owner. Kindly explain how this can be an undisclosed payment. I have also included all the credible references for you to ensure the correctness of the content. Do let me know what else do you need. Purnarthapms (talk) 10:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As you are an employee, it is mandatory that you make a declaration on your User Page. Follow the instructions at WP:PAID immediately. qcne (talk) 10:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Purnarthapms: your very next edit should be to disclose your paid-editing status, before you find yourself blocked.
And please don't open a new thread with each comment, just add to this thread. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:44, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have upaded the user page as per the guidelines. Request you to kindly help me publish the draft again. Purnarthapms (talk) 11:00, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Purnarthapms. Unfortunately your username is against policy and you will need to change it.
As for Draft:Rahul Rathi, I see no indication that this person meets our strict notability criteria. The draft is also written in an inappropriate way for an encyclopaedia. Therefore the draft will not be published.
Have a read of Wikipedia:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia. Let me know if you have any further questions. qcne (talk) 11:02, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication that Mayom meets our special notability criteria, @Mayommugezi. You can find the criteria at WP:NPEOPLE. qcne (talk) 13:59, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English Wikipedia, your draft needs to be in English. If you would prefer to contribute in Hindi, please go to the Hindi Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 16:36, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@P.S Parvez islam: that's not a question, did you have one in mind you wanted to ask? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@P.S Parvez islam: do not do that again, you are already getting quite close to a block even without spamming this help desk. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

18:23, 28 November 2024 review of submission by Edward200211

[edit]

What is wrong with the page Edward200211 (talk) 18:23, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, @Edward200211, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and doesn't host biographic articles about non-notable Youtubers. qcne (talk) 18:25, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You state this but there are plenty of much less notable people on Wikipedia. Understood that it's an encyclopedia - TheReactionKing (Edward Speller) is known, gathered over 4 Million views across YouTube alone. 12,000,000 if we include all channels. Over, 50,000 subscribers if we add all channels. Theres people on Wiki with just a date of birth and place of birth. This is certainly more notable than a lot of Wiki pages. I request it's accepted. Edward200211 (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do go ahead and provide three strong reliable independent sources that provide significant coverage of Edward. qcne (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edward200211 Wikipedia contains many sub-par articles. They usually date from the Wild West days of Wikipedia. Times have changed. There is only so much time we have to clear them out. If you would like to tell us about a few then we will look at them individually. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like my draft accepted. I believe 50,000 collective subs as well as 12,000,000 consolidated views is worthy enough of a Wikipedia page. Even more recent pages have less information and popularity than this. Not just "wild west days" of Wikipedia. Edward200211 (talk) 18:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Edward200211 With respect, your desire to have what appears to be your autobiography accepted has no value here. The only thing which has value is references which pass WP:42. There is much work to do. Please do that work, then the rejecting reviewer may consider reversing their rejection. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:50, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Viewcounts do not contribute to notability, @Edward200211. As I've stated, give me some strong reliable independent sources that provide significant coverage and I will assess. qcne (talk) 18:50, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I submitted this draft for review as I was aware there was already a redirect.
