01:07:25, 2 August 2018 review of submission by Anonymous1941

[edit]


I need help improving this draft. I was looking at the wikipedia page on writing better articles and I need help following the proper method of writing a proper article. A wikipedia administrator declined my submission and said it reads more like a news story than an authoritative encyclopedia article and I knew there was a problem with the sentence structure of the draft. Can someone please take a look at my draft and edit the information to make it look more like an authoritative encyclopedia article. I would really appreciate it because Rebecca's suicide was notable and her suicide was posted on numerous news websites and I want my draft submission to be accepted. I also want my article to be written from a neutral point of view because I have difficulty writing from a neutral point of view. Anonymous1941 (talk) 01:07, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I want to create a page about me. The page I submitted did not get pass the review point. Kindly detail me the procedure to create a page that can be published.

Hi Saheemkhan. Please don't write about yourself. The best way to get an encyclopedia article published about you is to concentrate on your career. Do outstanding work that attracts significant attention from the world at large, and other people will write an article about you. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:05, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was told that the page i opened needed to be less advertising. I believe i fixed it, and added more articles as reference. Can someone tell me if this is enough or do i need to make more changes?! Thanks, Nadav Nadav23 (talk) 09:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]



Hi,

Can someone please check if the changes i made are good enough? I added articles for reference. Is it enough?

Thanks, Nadav. Nadav23 (talk) 11:38, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nadav23. Draft:Tomer Aviram and Draft:Erez Aviram are in the pool to be reviewed. When they are reviewed you will receive feedback as to whether the changes you've made are sufficient. You may continue to improve the drafts while you wait. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:14, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

<! Hello, My article was reviews and appeared to read like an advertisement. How can I correct this, our sister companies are all on Wikipedia, we have similar content, why was ours denied?-->

Hi ReyesPanamaUSA123. Please clarify what you mean by we/our. Are you an employee of the company? If so, you have a conflict of interest. If you are editing Wikipedia as part of your job (in connection, for example, with the company's marketing and PR efforts) then you are required to disclose that as described on your talk page.
The draft reads like an advert rather than like an encyclopedia article. If the same is true of articles about your sister companies, then those articles need to be improved or, if that is not possible, deleted. People who write promotional copy usually aren't able to correct it. It's as natural to them as it is for an Australian to speak with an Australian accent. With years of practice an Ozzie may be able to master an authentic Canadian accent, and with years of practice you may be able to write in the style and tone of an encyclopedia, but doing so isn't as simple as us telling you to reshape your vowel sounds. See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY for alternatives. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
