Dear ladies and gentlemen. What is wrong with this article? What is wrong with the structure, the writing etc?

I don't understand and don't know why the article "Matthias Manasi" was deleted. Can you please explain, what should be changed?

Best wishes, Matthias Manasi MatthiasManasi (talk) 00:37, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MatthiasManasi:, Wikipedia is not the place for an autobiography, or advertising. It's pretty clear that you are talking about yourself in the article, which is not allowed. Even if this was not the case, and there was no conflict of interest, you'd have to make a reason for why it belongs on Wikipedia. The subject of the article needs to be notable, which means having information about the subject published, and those pieces need to be referenced in the article.

Hope this helps, Lee Vilenski(talk) 09:37, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also suggest you read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthias Manasi. Voceditenore (talk) 07:21, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Cosmocampus albirostris (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi! I can't figure out how to attach a picture to my taxobox. I found this picture online (http://media.eol.org/content/2015/03/17/23/86530_580_360.jpg) which is under a creative commons licence so I believe I should be able to use it, I just can't work out how to put it in to the box. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Harry

Hi Harrytudor. There are multiple creative commons licenses, not all of which are compatible with Wikipedia. According to http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/caribbean/en/pages/random/3687, the image may not be used for commercial purposes, so it is not suitable here.

To answer your general question, however, adding an image is a two step process: first upload it, then use it in on a page. Commons:First steps leads you through uploading. If after that you have any questions or doubts, there is a dedicated help desk for image uploading. Once you've uploaded an image, the picture tutorial can guide you through how to use it on a page. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- No draft specified!

hi, i am wondering why my article has been rejected.

Ayirp Sharma (talk) 20:34, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayirp Sharma: Large sections of the draft cite no sources, which leaves the reader wondering where that information came from and whether it is correct. Wikipedia may only include information from published, reliable sources. If it came from somewhere else, remove it. If it came from personal knowledge, such as from being his daughter, be sure to comply with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines.

If the source is available online, give the complete url for it rather than just a partial path. Incomplete references like "publications.gov.sk.ca › ... › Executive Council › News Releases › 2005 News Releases 4" or the file name "Aspen Ridge Area, Saskatoon, Canada.pdf" are unverifiable.

The Saskatchewan Order of Merit is a significant honor, but the others listed are much less so. The Royal Society of the Arts, for example, has 28,000 Fellows, and seems to admit almost anyone willing to pay the monthly dues. Move insignificant honors out of the lead, and consider omitting them from the article entirely. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:01, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
