08:33:47, 10 April 2019 review of submission by 140Macpherson

[edit]


I have submitted new materials and would like a review or advice on how to make the article better. thank you. 140Macpherson (talk) 08:33, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 140Macpherson. Rejection is intended to convey that no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable. Without taking any position on the changes made to the text since the rejection, adding press releases from sites like content-technology.com, proaudio-central.com, and tvtechnology.com makes the draft worse. Independent sources are needed. Perhaps there is significant coverage out there somewhere, maybe referring to the company under one of its other names, and probably in Italian, but like you and the draft's three reviewers, I haven't found it. I'm afraid the topic is a lost cause. Set it aside and edit something else; Wikipedia has millions of topics to choose from, most of which need improvement. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello Team,

Our company "AGS Transact Technologies Limited" had a Wikipedia page, which was blocked and removed by your team because of third party editing.

Due to which we drafted a new article for creation and submitted it to you guys for approval.

The draft was changed many a times as per your comments but somehow it is still not approved. According to us, the information that we provided is relevant and does not advertise/ promote our product.

Kindly help us in improving the quality of our article and approval process at earliest, as you know it is important for any company to have their digital presence on Wikipedia.

Thank you

Vyas vatsal (talk) 10:01, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vyas vatsal. AGS Transact Technologies has a long history of disruptive conflict of interest editing, but that is not why it was moved to Draft:AGS Transact Technologies. It was draftified because its sourcing is inadequate to demonstrate notability. The solution to the problem is not to create a blank-slate draft, Draft:AGS Transact Technologies Limited, but to improve the original Draft:AGS Transact Technologies.
Before you attempt that, declare your connection to the topic on your user page and the talk page of the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:31, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi,

I am writing my first article and I would like to know how to change the title. The article is about "Rosie Sanders", a botanical artist, but the title of my article is currently "Rosanne Sanders". "Rosie" is her artist name. I would like to change the title "Rosanne Sanders" in "Rosie Sanders". Is it possible?

MelissaGallery (talk) 11:26, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MelissaGallery If you would like to do it yourself, see Wikipedia:Moving a page for how to move the draft to a new name. Otherwise, a reviewer will determine the name if and when they accept the draft for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 11:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - MelissaGallery the draft is now at Draft:Rosie Sanders. SITH (talk) 14:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm wondering how much longer it will take to have this article approved and live? I submitted it 54 days ago. Thank You! -Rob

The current maximum review time is over two months. Please note that a review does not necessarily mean an accept. SITH (talk) 14:14, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article is no longer a blank slate. There are many included references of a reliable nature which both backs up and provides further details of the article. Meathgaa (talk) 13:54, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Srahul353 (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Srahul353, the draft was rejected earlier today by reviewer StraussInTheHouse, whose assessment I agree with. Sam Sailor 17:41, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Srahul353, the problem is the draft is a one-line description: a name, nationality and occupation. It was followed up by content, but it was functionally unreferenced (IMDb is not considered a reliable source). If you want to resubmit, you need to flesh out the content and show Babu has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Thanks, SITH (talk) 18:00, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

17:36:42, 10 April 2019 review of draft by Sethmains

[edit]


Hi. I am new to Wikipedia, so there is a lot that is new to me. I submitted a draft of an article on Ely Playter that was sent back for revision. Most notably, there were questions about my sources. I was hoping to receive some advice on how to cite historic sources (old newspapers, archival material, etc.) for which there is no web address. Is that possible to do in Wikipedia? One of the sources I used was Findagrave.com, which I know is questionable, however, it provided an image of Playter's gravestone which verifies his birth and death dates as well as evidence of his wife.

I also added a number of links to archival collections related to Wikipedia subjects. Some were deleted as "vandalism" while other weren't. I was just curious to learn how this could be construed as vandalism.

Thanks.

Sethmains (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sethmains, Welcome to AfC help desk. Sources could not obtain from web, such as from printed books or journals, could be used. see What information to include|type of sources and their associated templates. Here is free Google Newspaper Archive which is a searchable database of old newspapers. Once you find the article you need, copy/paste URL. Citation Tool for Google Books - Search database at https://books.google.com with desired keyword(s). Once you find a page containing what you need, copy and paste page URL into the Citation Tool, and it will instantly generate a ref you can add directly to Wikipedia. Also do note sources can be any languages. Only sources are independent, independent can be used to demostrate/contribute to the notability of the subject. see WP:Your First Article and WP:GOLDENRULE for additional information. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:20, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sethmains. Thank you for your submission. It's refreshing to see a notable topic.
  • Unlike academic writing, which encourages citing primary sources, articles written for Wikipedia should cite mainly secondary sources, see WP:PSTS.
  • If you need to cite a newspaper article for which there is no url, the markup is almost the same as when there is a url. The main difference is simply that there is no |url= in the cite template. The citation of journal The York Pioneer in the draft is a good example of citing an offline source. If possible, identify the page of the source on which the information appears, using the |page= parameter. For offline sources it's a good idea to use the |quote= parameter as well. For example:
"Tempest in a Teapot". Daily Evening Tribune. Oakland, California. December 16, 1874. p. 2. Mr. E. W. [Ely Welding] Playter is Chairman of the Committee on Finance. His private business is transacted in San Francisco; his political affairs, like that of the average Oaklander, are entirely confied to this side of the bay. Such a little old dried up rooster would not likely get much of a showing in metropolitan public concerns ... The importance of this business demands a separate paragraph. Notwithstanding our space is every day being more needed and valuable for general purposes, we will be liberal with out friend Mr. Playter on this occasion. Hence we stand him out alone this way. He might get lost to the reader otherwise ... The States east of the Rocky Mountains are cursed with a weed introduced from Canada. It is a species of thisle and is an obstinate, useless and injurious institution. Here in Oakland we don't have any thistles to speak of, but we have Playter, also introduced from Canada. If the reproductive powers of Playter should prove as prolific as those of the thisle we shall soon be compelled, in imitation of our eastern brethren, to invoke legislative aid to eradicate the nuisance.
  • The cite templates may not be as good a fit if you need to cite a primary source document in an archive. You may use freeform text. Give the reader everything they would need in order to retrieve the source. That might be the archive, the collection, the box, the folder, and a brief description of the item.
  • It would be better to cite the Niagara Falls Gazette directly rather than citing the transcription by Find a Grave, but only eight WorldCat libraries hold the microfilm for that year, so it will be difficult to get, even through WP:RX.
  • In the case of Melvin Ormond Hammond and Henry Smith (Canadian politician), the fact that you were a new editor adding links to multiple articles in fairly quick succession may have triggered a "shoot first and ask questions later" response. You are handling the matter correctly by discussing it with the editor who reverted you. You should be able to convince them that the proposed links are acceptable under criterion #3 of WP:ELYES. If not, or if you get no response from them, then on the talk pages of the two articles propose the addition of the links.
  • If you can determine the relationship between Ely Playter (1776-1858) and Mayor of Oakland Ely Welding Playter (1819-1893), that would make an interesting addition to the draft.
--Worldbruce (talk) 02:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your feedback regarding my article on Ely Playter. I will keep working on it. I did make the connection at the time, but apparently, Ely Welding Playter is Ely's son. I'll just have to see how to source that information: https://localwiki.org/oakland/Ely_W._Playter

Blue Circle Foods should be park of Wikipedia, because it is a notable company and one of the market leader for sustainable seafood products in the US. It has been mentioned on trustworthy third party information providers for its efforts to improve seafood and protect it for upcoming generations. Moreover, the Blue Circle Foods' products can be purchased in man different grocery stores all over the United States. Furthermore, one of the co-founders is the famous Austrian chef Nora Poullion. Johlippy (talk) 18:26, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Johlippy: No, the reviewers of the draft are correct. At this time the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 04:04, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi, Wikipedia, I have writen my first contribution. I have requested a Review buut it could take more than two moths. Ias there a way to do it all faster? I i make a donation will it be published? Brandonsmt (talk) 18:33, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft was deleted for unambiguous promotional ism. As a note, asking is generally unlikely to speed things up (if everyone did it, we'd be back where we started). Making a donation will having, at best, no effect on whether it goes quicker or is accepted. Openly offering it like this risks being viewed as an ineffective bribe, and may actually hinder your efforts. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:54, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make a page on Green Run Collegiate which doesn't exist yet, although it is mentioned in Regular Green Runs Wikipedia Page. Also they have the same address because they are located in the same building but are two separate schools. When I submitted for review they said that it already exists but a seperat page for Collegiate does not, what should I do to get it published?

Ina0124 (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ina0124 Hi there are two schools with the name associated with Green Run in Wikipedia. There are Green Run High School and Green Run Collegiate. The Draft:Green Run Collegiate has been redirect to Green Run Collegiate. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
