04:23:44, 18 April 2019 review of submission by Philosodad

[edit]


In what way are the sources for this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kelly_Weinersmith not independent or reliable? One is a recognized media outlet and the other is a University page. Neither is related to the subject directly or to me. If these are not independent or reliable, what is?

Philosodad (talk) 04:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philosodad. The university page is reliable, but not independent, because the information on it was supplied by Weinersmith. So it doesn't help establish notability. Space.com is independent and reliable, but not sufficient (not adequate support). Multiple reviews of creative work are expected. From the edits you've made since posing your question, I see that you're already tackling the problems the reviewer pointed out. I've left a welcome basket of links on your talk page. They may help you continue to improve the draft while waiting for the next review. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:25, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I've made necessary changes. Please re-review! I've also included more than enough references. Ankurshva (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ankurshva: hi. Unfortunately, I am sticking with another editor's rejection of the topic in February, and with the 2 previous declines of the topic as being non-notable. The draft also requires major cleanup; it is not written in proper encyclopedic prose, contains an essay-like "Introduction" section, and many of the references cited are either trivial or duplicates of each other. In addition, you should read WP:PAID for how to correctly disclose any paid connection to the company, assuming you have one. Thank you. SamHolt6 (talk) 16:31, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SamHolt6: Where can I find some help regarding it?
@Ankurshva: When you write on discussion pages (but never when editing articles), sign your posts with four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. When you publish your changes, this will automatically insert a signature with your username and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. Moreover, notification templates don't work without a signature. With regard to your question, you may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi I need guidance on how to make the BLP I posted as acceptable. I have cited COI deceleration and the article reflects voluntary efforts to achieve equality for an entire nation, which carry Head of State endorsement and a nomination for national medal of honour Gieh ir-Republika.

Please guide as I would like to learn

With best regards

Fabian

[edit]


What part of my submission for "System call interposition" doesn't qualify for a Wikipedia article? There are hundreds of papers written about it: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22system+call+interposition%22&btnG= It's an important topic that I was surprised didn't have an article already, which is why I created one.

71.202.0.54 (talk) 18:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@71.202.0.54: Thank you for your contribution. Novice Wikipedians writing their first articles are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable sources, which contain significant coverage of their topic. The draft cites one. To gain an understanding of which sources to use, I recommend that you spend some time at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Why did this get rejected?

Musiclover849 (talk) 21:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]



Hi Musiclover849. The reason the draft was rejected is given in the pink box on the draft and a corresponding mustard yellow box on your talk page. Those link to further information. More specifically, the draft fails to show that the subject meets the notability criteria for musicians, and in the reviewer's evaluation, no amount of editing can fix that problem. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:16, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this rejected? I am trying to place the historical musical figures for Auburn, Alabama into the wikipedia page, but it is rejected?
