07:27:09, 16 October 2015 review of submission by Wordsprite

[edit]


Here is my question, I have two different messages and I'm confused: Are my references not reliable OR is the problem (why my article was rejected) one of citation? Check these out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wordsprite   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Psychoterratic_Illnesses   click on both and tell me which one is correct and whether the problem is unreliable references or if it’s citation problems.Wordsprite (talk) 07:27, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The reason it was declined is the referencing isn't the style we use on wikipedia, WP:Refbegin will help you see the style, and using something like User:ProveIt GT will help you put inline citations in your article without having to type everything out over again. Hope I helped! --  Kethrus |talk to me  13:13, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Could you please help me with this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Airy I have done all required changes but my submission was declined. Bu checking the apps from this comparison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_YouTube_downloaders I can't understand how my page differs from another pages devoted to the apps of such kind Karen Douglass (talk) 14:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Karen Douglass - I responded to you on my talk page back on the 13th. Did you not see that message? Regarding the other article, per WP:OSE the fact that there are other bad articles isn't an excuse to allow other promotional articles to be included. I also didn't get in to the notability of the subject, but after a quick glance, most of the citations appear to be from blogs, which are not usually considered reliable sources, and some from non-independent sources as well. Not saying it's not notable, simply that I haven't evaluated it in that respect yet, but be careful of sourcing with blogs. WP:RS is a good resource for understanding reliable sources. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 16:20, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Razz singh sinsinwar. Another editor (SwisterTwister) has put together a pretty nice succinct group of links to help new editors.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Onel5969 TT me 15:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
