Hi Mujinga!

Thank you so much for your wonderful message! I am really enjoying learning so much and hopefully adding valuable contributions.

Thank you for providing the helpful information and I will be sure to check it out. I will be sure to reach out if I need any help.

Also, I hope I am contributing the right way, if not, please let me know!

Thanks again! Dubai Writer (talk) 08:22, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be going good so far :) Mujinga (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mujinga! Hope all is well. Just wanted to let you know that I submitted an article for review. If you have the time, I would appreciate if you would review it and offer any advice or revisions/suggestions you may have. Thank you! Dubai Writer (talk) 08:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link to the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Abdulsalam_Al_Madani Dubai Writer (talk) 08:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya I don't review new articles but I can certainly offer comments:

Every paragraph needs at least one citation, more if necessary, since everything in the article body should be referenced. The lead at the top of the article should summarise what is below in the article body so does not itself need citations per MOS:LEAD since everything in the lead should be cited below. Hope that makes sense! Right now you have three citations on the lead but the first two paragraphs in the body (beginning "Dr. Al Madani was born ..." and "In 1999, Dr. Al Madani earned...") appear uncited. Same for the personal life section.
You say on your talk you have a conflict of interest regarding Abdulsalam Al Madani - good that you say this, you should also say this at Draft_talk:Abdulsalam_Al_Madani and if it is actually you, probably it would be better to leave the writing of the article to others.
On a quick look the subject does appear to be notable, with significant coverage in reliable sources so that's good!
You can use sources written in languages other than english, but it's also great to have found coverage in english.
It can be frustrating but you may have to wait some time for your article to be reviewed since there is a backlog and everyone is a volunteer. At least you can ~~approve~~ improve it in the meantime (currently the referecing issues mean that I doubt it would be approved).

Hope that helps, Mujinga (talk) 09:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your comments, much appreciated! Dubai Writer (talk) 10:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I assure that I am not the subject. I joined as a contributor because I love Wikipedia and I'm hoping to add notable figures and organizations from my home city :) Dubai Writer (talk) 10:12, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's very cool! The more people add information from outside Europe and North America the more we all benefit in my opinion :) Mujinga (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abdulsalam Al Madani (November 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Many of the sources are interviews or his comments which are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. Many others are primary sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Abdulsalam Al Madani and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
