Your submission at Articles for creation: Ido Kanter (September 18)

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

Almost no change to the article since the previous decline. The sections on his research are not appropriate for an encyclopedia article - don't explain stuff that we already have articles about like neurons. Don't analyze the papers yourself and draw conclusions about the importance of the research. You need an outside source to say that. Just say what he did.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ido Kanter (September 21)

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

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Every single reference except the scienmag.com one is a primary source.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ido Kanter (November 1)

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

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.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The coverage of Ido Kanter is about the research and does not demonstrate significant notability about them. Needs references specifically about Kanter and not using the authors own papers for references to show notability. At the moment appears to be a bit of a CV.

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ido Kanter (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ldm1954 were:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it 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:

Unfortunately this article is written almost completely ignoring Wikipedia standards, and many prior declinations. It contains overlong descriptions of his work which read like a CV. There are far too many claims which are bragging, WP:PUFFERY. Looking deeper, with a Google Scholar h-factor of 51 and no major awards he does not pass the notability bar, WP:NPROF. Plus there are large parts of his career which are unsourced. If you want to try again treat this as a serious research problem. Read other pages. Remove the claims and masses of less useful information; I estimate 1/4 the current size. Add awards (if they exist).

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 are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately.

StarryGrandma (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the material copied in from Kanter's curriculum vitae. You must write everything in your own words. Plagarism is a serious problem which students tend to ignore but matters in the real world. I see you have been having difficulties with writing this article. As a graduate student, which I once was decades ago, you need to learn to write in the style of the publication you are writing for. This is an encyclopedia, which no one starting here has ever written for before. Just stick to the facts. Provide an inline reference for everything. Replace that copied list with a short list of "Selected publications". The criteria for researchers being well-known enough for an article is WP:NPROF. Kantar meets Criteris #1.

KylieTastic (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

References to papers (which I removed before the decline) aren't enough. I can help you with sources. The university website and Kantar's web pages are fine as sources for professors. Unfortunately his CV is on a blacklisted site so can't be used. Perhaps you can explain why it isn't on the university website and why the full CV isn't available. StarryGrandma (talk) 20:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback!

I have edited the page based on your suggestions. I would be very grateful if you could take a look and give your opinion.

Thanks again OffekM (talk) 06:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will look at it again. I do have to clear out the copyright violations from the article history first - much of your first draft was copied in from the files linked on his "About Me" page. StarryGrandma (talk) 18:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! OffekM (talk) 18:40, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Main contributions" still reads like the wonderfulness stuff researchers write on their websites and write for grant proposals. My advice to you is to not read any of that stuff about a professor before writing an article. It is hard to get that style of writing out of your head. Nothing in the references provided (his own papers) allows us to say things like "several major contributions" or "pioneering a new field" unless reliable sources from people completely independent of Kanter and his institution have said it. Just keep to the facts and say what he did in that work without any such judgements. StarryGrandma (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@StarryGrandma Hi, I just went over and removed and rephrased some of the stuff to make it more neutral. Now it should just say what he did. 77.137.66.106 (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
