Kusumba (Maharashtra)

hi.i created my article titled as "Kusumba" and i also submitted it for review, the reviewer told me to add references then i added references to it but it still not get accepted.Will u pls told me what the exact problem is?Also i want help about how to submit article for review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohan pardeshi1717 (talk • contribs) 06:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article was moved (by me) to the Wikipedia's mainspace last month, so it has already been accepted and no longer in Articles for Creation. However, I left a message box at the top of the article suggesting more references are added, because currently there is quite a bit of unsourced information. It is very unlikely your article will be deleted, because it is a populated village that exists. All the same, other editors could possibly remove information that is unsourced and unverifiable.

Thankyou for your article and good luck with your future contributions to Wikipedia! Sionk (talk) 11:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Facing Africa

Hi,

Could you be so kind and tell me which parts of the article "reads like advertisement"(do you mean the links to the surgeons pages, or mentioning of charities projects), or is it too detailed? can you please help me out with this, because once i get a rejection because it is not notbale enough, now its too much of advertising. and nobody explains anything. It is a charity,for gods sake, in the end of the day, we do not sell anything, how much of an advertisement can it be. Can you please help me out with this, because its rather annoying.

Thankyou for your question. Unfortunately there is not a decline message that covers multiple issues, so I used the "reads like an advertisement" because it addressed the most pressing problem. Your article is largely an extensive report about Facing Africa's projects, including a comprehensive list of many medical operations carried out. It is almost entirely unsourced, therefore independently unverifiable. It reads to me like you are publishing a comprehensive profile of the charity, rather than a concise encyclopedia article.

The first and most important thing you need to do is establish that Facing Africa is suitable for a Wikipedia article, usually this means meeting the WP:GNG notability criteria, or the WP:NONPROFIT alternative criteria. This will mean the activities of the charity need to be independently verifiable in reliable sources. You have added inline citations (which is a great start, believe me) but these often verify other information not directly related to the charity's importance.

However, I have had a second look this morning. I see several of the links you have listed under "Press releases" are actually authoritative news articles in regional and national newspapers. Unfortunately I did not look closely at these because (a) press releases are normally not reliable sources, being self published (b) with over 300 outstanding articles we have limited time to review each submission. When I get a spare moment later today I will consider accepting your article, but bear in mind I (or another editor) may choose to remove any unsourced information from the article. Hope that clears up the misunderstanding! Sionk (talk) 12:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/YuuWaa

When I first started using Wikipedia I made an error with my username and so my article was blocked and redirected to another page. I created a brand new account after reading up on the Wikipedia rules and I have been trying to get my article reviewed and then put online but now you are telling me it already exists, but it doesn't it is redirected to another page. I have no idea where to find my article and how to stop the redirect. Help me please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philippa Pointon (talk • contribs) 09:55, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the article, even the redirect already exists, you can edit the article in question; either by incorporating information into the eventual target article, or by editing the redirect directly. To do the latter, click on YuuWaa, and then, directly under the target article title, you'll see a line in small print that says "(redirected from YuuWaa)". click on "YuuWaa" in that phrase, and it will take you to the redirect page, which you can then edit to remove the redirect and replace it with a normal article.

All that said, your article as it stands is a press release, and is not suitable for an encyclopedia. I'm also concerned about notability. Mangoe (talk) 14:24, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well could you tell me what is wrong with my article. I have edited it 4 times and put in all the references that I have up to this date I don't know what else I can do. Please help me.. please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philippa Pointon (talk • contribs) 14:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Philippa, why don't you add your info to the Gemalto page? Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 15:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I have the right to do that, and also if I did every other product within Gemalto would want to be included on there and there are thousands. I just wanted to create a short page for users who are curious about YuuWaa where they can read about us, what YuuWaa is all about and our history. I don't want to sell anything I don't understand why it's so difficult and I can't seem to get any guidance to help me, i've never done this before so i'm a little in the dark. Is there anyone who can help me and tell me specifically the problems? All other cloud storage solutions have wikipedia pages so I think so should YuuWaa. Thanks for any help given from anyone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philippa Pointon (talk • contribs) 15:44, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your answer makes sense :) I have tagged YuuWaa for deletion, and as soon as that is done I'll look into accepting your submission. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 15:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok that's great, what should I do now? You think I still need to rewrite it as the last comment was it stands as a press release? Thanks for your help and your responses!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philippa Pointon (talk • contribs) 15:54, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Already done :) You can now find your submission at....(drumroll please) YuuWaa! Thanks for your work, Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 19:11, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/T. H. Cayne (URGENT)

Hi there,

I was noticed about possible copyright problems concerning files I uploaded in the making of a Wiki page about an artist (T. H. Cayne).

I asked for help, and was said that one option was to contact the artist himself, and let him send an e-mail (with a filled-in-form) to permissions.

He has let me know that this happened by now, but I noticed just now that already a file (Faceless_girl_in_stockings.JPG) is deleted :-(

What should I do ?

Could this matter be handled before all files are deleted ?

Best regards,

Artcollectorgirl — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artcollectorgirl (talk • contribs) 10:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's always better to sort out the article first and make sure it is acceptable for Wikipedia, before uploading pictures with copyright issues. As you have found out, Wikipedia quickly deletes questionable photos that are not being used in a 'live' article. I suggest you make sure your basic article has been accepted before adding any 'bells and whistles', so to speak. Good luck! Sionk (talk) 12:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright

hello I uploaded an image. got an error for problem with copyrights, although its an original image. I want to resolve it before wikipedia deletes my work. How can I do it? Kimmeleshkolot (talk) 12:37, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please look at this >page<. It should have your answers. Thanks. :- ) DCS 19:23, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When you say 'original image', do you mean you took of made all the photos yourself? If so, then you just need to do what you did at File:Babi-yarHeritage and Jewish community center- Kiev ,Ukrine-.jpeg and add {{self}} to them all. If not, especially for images like File:Tel-Baruch public-buildings compound.jpeg you need to get the owner to completely release the works (which they probably won't want to do) or else they'll be deleted.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lester Howe

What's an inline reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shenstudent000035798 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An in-line reference appears as a small number (like this^[1]) after the text. To insert them, use a <ref> tag at the beginning, insert your reference, and use a </ref> tag at the end. To make them show up, add a {{reflist}} template at the end of the page. If you need more help, see referencing for beginners. A412 (Talk • C) 15:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Julia Cook

I added three articles from video interviews that were done with Julia Cook by different news media outlets. They were using her as an expert in children's story books and how they can be used to help protect and further the social development of children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Storybookcentral (talk • contribs) 16:04, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but to establish notability you need sources about her, not with her. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 19:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Link between English and French Wikipedia

Hello,

I met one French article and one English article which were "equivalent" but with different titles...

How can I establish a link between both articles ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artventure22 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What you are thinking of is a interlanguage link. What you want to add to the bottom of the article is [[fr:FRENCH ARTICLE NAME]]. On the French Wikipedia, add [[en:ENGLISH ARTICLE NAME]]. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 19:05, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rejected submission

Hello and thank you for helping me with this. I recently submitted a biographical page on a legitimate artist. I'm currently completing a book on her public art commissions over the last 10 years, which will be published later this year. The article was rejected because it is derived from primary research, principally my interviews with the artist, and lacks outside citations.

I certainly understand and support the reasoning for this (though for art scholars, primary research is most highly respected!). Wikipedia doesn’t want every yahoo posting a page about themselves or their friends. On the other hand, I am a published author, and my work on this artist is what another author would cite as their source of information because I am, like it or no, the authority on her work. So it’s a bit of a catch.

Can you make some suggestions as how we can address this? Would it suffice to reference some published reviews of her work? Again, thank you— Joanne Stuhr — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoanneStuhr (talk • contribs) 18:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, here the thing - even if your book was accepted (and without really looking at it I wouldn't know) you would need more then just that. If her work has been reviewed by reliable sources, then absolutely add those. That's exactly the kind of stuff we're looking for you to add.
