03:20:37, 8 February 2019 review of draft by ElephantintheBoardroomAU

[edit]

Can you help with a step-by-step procedure on how to edit my draft? Also if anyone can provide examples or specific detailed feedback of my mistakes, it'll be very helpful. I'm new at creating an article on Wiki and I'm very confused. Thanks in advance. ElephantintheBoardroomAU (talk) 03:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ElephantintheBoardroomAU: Hi Welcome to AfC help desk. There is a lot of info below, kindly take your time and re-read if needed and do go to the links (blue highlighted texts for more info). Do pop to my talk page if you need further clarifications.
  1. Two accounts - If you are User:ElvisMartin45. First of all from you edits, besides the ATW edits, your first edit was Draft:Elvis Martin. The original creator for this draft article has an conflict of interest (COI) and also autobiography (AUTOBIO) If you are indeed User:ElvisMartin45, then you need to aware of COI and AUTOBIO guidelines and policies, which means
    1. Wikipedia do not encourage an editor with COI and AUTOBIO to edit/create on affected pages.
    2. Associated with the subject: If you are a friend, relative, co-worker, marketing agent, etc of the subject (Elvis Marting) then you have a COI here. You need to declare you COI on (a) on your user page and (b) on the article talk - pls see how to declare your COI -WP:DISCLOSE.
    3. Also, if you have 2 accounts in Wikipedia, pls do not use them to canvassing, or edit that fall under WP:SOCK for you will be banned from editing. I would advice you to stop editing one of the account completely and place "retire" on one of your account - see Wikipedia:Retiring.
  2. Edits - that is no step by step on editing (not sure you meant step by step to create an article here). I have sent you a welcome message, and there is a link on editing which you would have a read. In general,
  3. Sources - do provide source (inline citation - see referencing for beginners for info and how to provide inline citations) to support the content claimed as per source for verification.
  4. Superficial edit - For minor edit such as superficial edit (such as bold, replacing : to dash and etc) then sources are not needed.
  5. Draft article to be accepted - pls see the grey panel comments atop on the draft page to note what are needed to meet the notability guidelines for article to merit a page in Wikipedia.
  6. Always leave a edit summary (leave a brief description the nature of your edit) prior saving/publish your edit.
  7. 3RR - Pls do not violate 3 revert rule (revert more than 3 times on the same page within 24 hours even your edit is rightful/correct unless edits involve are considered vandalism edits) for you will be blocked. If there is a disagreement then invite the involved editor(s) to the article talk page for discussion and disagreement resolution.
  8. Copyright infringements - Pls do not violate copyright infringements (COPYVIO) and pls write the content in your own words as Wikipedia takes copyright infringements VERY seriously as it entails legal implications.
  9. Teahouse - WP:Teahouse - you could post any "edit" questions to Teahouse, and one of the friendly hosts will assist you accordingly.
Cheers and happy editing. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:44, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use Wikipedia to write up glowing profiles of yourself. I've sought deletion of these pages. You are wasting our time. Legacypac (talk) 05:17, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting a re-review because I think the article is really relevant since there isn't much information about Africa. What do you think I should do to make it legible because I do plan on contributing more Ugandan articles in the coming future. Dansziel (talk) 07:57, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dansziel: - hi there. The draft was rejected on notability grounds, not relevance/importance (which we aren't equipped to reliably judge). It's a very clearcut case of failure to meet notability as the article as no sources at all, let alone sources that are: in-depth, reliable, independent and secondary (newspapers, books, journals etc etc).

Hello, I am trying to create a user page with our university information. But it always shows me that it will be deleted because it does not meet the criteria. Can you help me please? I do not know how to proceed from now on. I removed all the promotion material and I added also citations ans links.

Hi,

I want to publish the article about empower, which is a PowerPoint add-In. I thought with about 1 million users the software is a relevant topic for wikipedia, as well as a lot of big companies use the add-in. Also there is already an article existing in the german wikipedia. Unfortunately the subission of my article got declined. Thats why i would be super happy about some help with improving the article.

Thank you!

Yours sincerely Til1004 (talk) 14:58, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have been discussing the Cardano page with 2 editors at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cryptocurrency#Deletion_of_IOHK-related_content. I believe Cardano is notable, or at least as notable as more than half of the List of cryptocurrencies. However, there has been aggressive deletion of any mention of IOHK, Ada or Cardano. This has left a hole in Wikipedia's coverage. The Cardano page should be given the opportunity to demonstrate its notability.

You are unlikely to get any AfC reviewer to approve a page on this topic. The area is awash with undosclosed paid editing, WP:COI and WP:PROMO. If you want a page you will likely need to move it yourself. Legacypac (talk) 01:37, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
