Review of Submission for Mobil 1 Cup Series by NerdyGamer429

[edit]

Hi, I am wondering why my article/page, 2018 Mobil 1 Cup Series, was rejected. I am a new user to Wikipedia, so I am not so sure why this happened. If anyone has any answers, please let me know. Sincerely, Ezra Costa (NerdyGamer429)

@NerdyGamer429: You didn't fill this request correctly so as to see you details. You can see the reason of declining your draft by visiting the draft again. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:37, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@NerdyGamer429: I took the liberty of looking up your article: Draft:2018 Mobil 1 Cup Series. It has no references, at all, so that would be necessary before the article can be accepted. It's also important that the article is written how it is to be read; and tables with no information in them are not advisable. Lee Vilenski(talk) 14:18, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi there, just wanted to check why the article concerning Gazebo Books was declined.

Thanks,

Xavier

Hi @Gazebobooks: Your article Draft:Gazebo Books was declined and subsequently deleted because it is Obvious advertising meant to promote book. Wikipedia is not place for advertising. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:30, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


How can I change the name of a page that I just created?


156.83.1.24 (talk) 09:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, Non registered editors cannot rename article. And you did not create the above article you only edited it. –Ammarpad (talk) 11:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I would like to know why my article was denied.

Teabro578 (talk) 13:12, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Teabro578: you did not specify the draft, however you can go back and open the draft there must be reason for declining left for you. –Ammarpad (talk) 14:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @Teabro578: I have added the draft into the opening of this ticket for it to be easier for people to help. The reviewer left the reason of "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" - In the draft that you have left, you have one reference; which isn't enough for an article; regardless of how good it is. You do need to expand the references given, and also back up the text with the references. Hope this helps. I would recommend looking up a few more references for him and use reference tags within the article if you think it should be successful. Hope this helps Lee Vilenski(talk) 14:14, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

15:50:46, 16 October 2017 review of submission by Adarrah

[edit]


Adarrah here. Thank you for for making adjustments to the draft. I have a question for you. Helen has a clipping from Washington Post with a detailed story on their travels in an amphibious jeep, but the date had been cut off. This is the info that she has: Ed Koterba, “Tribute to a Jeep,” Washington Post This had probably been written in late 1956. I am unable to find it on Google. Does Wikipedia have some way to check on dated stories in major newspapers? This would be a great article to add to my submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adarrah (talk • contribs) 15:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Adarrah, the column was also syndicated. See this from The Morning Herald Hagerstown, Maryland (November 27, 1957), p. 10. at newspapers.com. Unless, you have a subscription to newspapers.com, only a fairly garbled OCR version is available, but it should be clear enough to verify they're the same article.

[edit]

How do I add an infobox with an image

Westlondon12345 (talk) 16:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Westlondon12345: I've added infobox for you. Now remain the picture. But ensure you fully understand Wikipedia Policy on Images copyright. For now I will advise you to focus more on providing reliable sources to your draft, image can be uploaded any time later. –Ammarpad (talk) 16:57, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

17:44:50, 16 October 2017 review of submission by Mickeystwin33

[edit]

I would like to know why my page was not approved, and how to fix it so it can be approved? Mickeystwin33 (talk) 17:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mickeystwin33: Hello, Twin. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I see two major problems with your submission. A quick look reveals the first of them -- you haven't shown any familiarity with the basic techniques of constructing a Wikipedia article. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to read WP:Your first article and then work through our WP:Tutorial. Doing this will alert you to the various techniques and conventions that we use here on Wikipedia. The second major problem is going to be a bit more difficult to address. Right now, your entire submission is nothing more than a closely-paraphrased version of the material found in the Informative Speaking section at https://sites.google.com/site/nationalforensicsassociation/competition/individual-events . If you believe this to be an encyclopedic topic (and I assume that you do believe that), you are going to need to demonstrate that the topic has been received in-depth discussion from reliable, authoritative sources other than the association that sponsors the competition. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 05:30, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:46:13, 16 October 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Gwidow

[edit]


This is my first article submission, and I didn't get much clarity on why my sources are not considered credible. Is it because the sources/links I used are too unreliable? Is it because I didn't provide enough support in the article? Really just trying to pinpoint what I can improve so that I don't spin my wheels.

Thanks!

Gwidow (talk) 18:46, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Gwidow: Hello, Gwidow. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best source of information as to why your submission was declined will be the reviewer who looked at it. You can find that reviewer's name and Talk page link in the "decline box" near the top of your draft. But I took a quick look at the draft and found that I too would have declined it, and for the same reason. The issue is not the credibility of the sources -- it was the lack of them. You presented only two references, one to a public law that already has its own Wikipedia article and another to a journal paper that appeared to be supporting just a single sentence in your draft. So, where did all the rest of the information come from? Right now, the draft reads like your own personal reflections on the subject of automated compliance management for health-care providers. And the article will need to be something other than that; it will need to be a summary of what the authoritative sources have said about the subject. By not demonstrating the support of reliable, authoritative sources, the draft was properly declined for failing to cite such sources. I expect that such sources do exist, and I encourage you to place some more effort into finding them. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

19:09:18, 16 October 2017 review of submission by Olivia Fries-Farr

[edit]

I am wondering why Olivia Fries-Farr article has been declined. Please provide issues.

Also please provide directions on how to make this information public to people who search Olivia Fries-Farr.

Thank you, Olivia Fries-Farr (talk) 19:09, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Olivia Fries-Farr: First, it is very important for you to note; Wikipedia is not a place for advertising and Wikipedia don't allow creating acticles to promote people like you're trying to do. You draft is non encyclopedic in it is entirety. I am also advising you to read my first Article, reliable sources and notability to gain good grasp of what is acceptable here –Ammarpad (talk) 20:23, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]


23:53:08, 16 October 2017 review of submission by Skdwived

[edit]

Hi All, I have written about this new cosmetic brand, please review & provide feedback. (Skdwived (talk) 23:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC))[reply]

@Skdwived: Hello, Skdwived. I've submitted your draft for review. Given the current backlog, it will likely be more than a month before a reviewer gets a chance to look at it. In the meantime, however, you will probably want to expand on the draft a bit. Right now, the draft says only that the brand exists and that is sold in certain places. This, of course, can be said about any brand. If that's all that can be said about this particular brand, the draft is unlikely to be accepted for publication. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:50, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

23:55:42, 16 October 2017 review of submission by Revalicejane

[edit]


I'm new to Wikipedia and have experienced some confusion over how to submit articles. I submitted my first one, Edgar Haynes, via Articles for Creation and it was approved. I was told at that time that since I was a registered user I could now submit articles directly. I submitted a second article, Alice Wynekoop (biography), which is still needing review by a second contributor. I'm not sure how I managed to submit the article that way. Now I've written a third article - Murder Trial of Alice Wynekoop-- and thought I was submitting it in the same manner as the second, but it looks like it's in Articles for Creation. Is there a way to get the Murder Trial of Alice Wynekoop out of the Articles for Creation avenue and go direct? Or do I need to?

Thank you!

Revalicejane (talk) 23:55, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome @Revalicejane: Yes, you can now directly create article on main space per your edit count and even created two articles already. That is impressive. But now since you already started your article in Draft there is no cause to worry just leave it, it will give you more leverage to edit freely (unlike directly in mainspace, where any mistake can be tracked in RC and summarily reverted by another editor). Also you should know using Draft space is not condescending, often many established users with thousands of edits do start their articles in draft and later moved it to mainspace. (It seems this is your concern). However, in your next article, just type the title is search bar directly it will result in redlink and you can see line asking you whether you want create it, then click on it, it will lead you to edit interface. Then you can create from there. But you've to be cautious as whatever you save will go directly live. Thank you –Ammarpad (talk) 05:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
