Request on 07:24:21, 19 October 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by EivaAir

[edit]


Hello!

I am asking for help because I do not know how to improve my article anymore. This is my first input to wikipedia, so I am sorry if I am doing anything wrong. My article does not have any references that the FusionLayer company written. And I do not see any advertising language there either. How should I improve it? Please help me. This is my fifth attempt already and every time I did lots of changes, but nothing helps

  1. Hi @EivaAir: - Your entry very much reads like an advertisement, as it does not suit the style of Wikipedia. You may find the best course of action is to see similar items on WikiPedia, and copying the format and style of presentation from there. Generally, articles have an introduction; and then more specifics on what the subject is. It is important everything is written from a non-biased Point of View. For example, the first sentence on your page states: "FusionLayer is the provider of IT network management and automation solutions for enterprises, operators, service providers and other organizations with data centers." This is leading language, as FL isn't the only solution available. The article also has very little content as to why it should be on a global encyclopedia.

@Sumasa: Please do not add content written in Bengali to the English-language Wikipedia. Instead add it to the Bengali Wikipedia. They already have an article about Michael Jackson that you may improve. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:02, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, We have submitted a page to Wiki and it has been sent back with the following message: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources." Please can you advise which parts of the page are not referenced correctly and advise next steps? Please reply to office.paulareid@chiefexecutive.com many thanks

@Clare Walker 74: Please clarify what you mean by "we". The policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia, get used to communicating on Wikipedia. Off-Wikipedia communication (e.g. email) can impede transparency.
A Google Docs page is not a reliable, published source. Wikipedia, being user-generated, is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference. The home page of Gutsy Gastros doesn't support the statement that Reid is a fouding trustee. Explorershouse doesn't mention Reid. A page from Reid's website is not independent of Reid.
Blow up the draft and start over. Before writing anything, find multiple, independent, reliable sources containing a significant depth of information about Reid. Then write the draft using those sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:28, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How do I automatically create an article without posting a request?

Jeudycarrieiab (talk) 14:03, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When four days have passed since you registered and you have logged ten undeleted edits, you will be able to move your own drafts into mainspace. However, doing so carries the risk that the page may be deleted for any of a variety of reasons. Until you have gained sufficient experience to really understand what constitutes an acceptable article, it is highly recommended that you get opinions from experienced editors before placing your creations into the mainspace. The AFC process is designed to do exactly that. One way to get the necessary experience is to contribute to existing articles, because creating a successful new article is one of the most difficult things to do here.

I received a note on my deleted page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lisa_Dinhofer. It was deleted cause it was similar to the content I have written on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Colored-Pencil-Essential-Techniques/dp/1580934927. I can remove that content if needed and make changes but how do I get to see the last version of my draft before it was deleted. I don't have a copy.

Hi, the work Monica Angrand has done gets her recognized all over the world, because Mike Kuchar is a living legend with a huge cult following.

Pisces228 (talk) 22:20, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pisces228, where did you get all that detailed personal information about Monica Angrand? None of it appears to have been published anywhere. You need a published source for that to appear in an article. It also suggests you have a close personal connection to her. If that is the case, I strongly suggest you read the guidelines at WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Autobiography and follow them scrupulously. As for passing the criteria for inclusion, not one of of your references are about the subject. Some don't even mention her or mention her only in passing, and her appearance in these short films, in most cases in very minor roles, is not sufficient. I suggest you read the guidelines for inclusion and the kinds of evidence required at Wikipedia:Notability (people). Then seek out independent published sources which meet the requirements. If you cannot find any, then it is not appropriate to have an article about her. Voceditenore (talk) 08:32, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
