[edit]


I need this published Trapped in my mind. song by kid cudi. Oughy71 (talk) 00:36, 8 January 2019 (UTC) Oughy71 (talk) 00:36, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oughy71. The draft doesn't show that the song is notable (suitable for a stand alone article in Wikipedia. In other words, it doesn't show that Wikipedia needs this published. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:57, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

02:32:36, 8 January 2019 review of submission by Leah Kiwanuka

[edit]


To who it may concern,

My creation was reject due to Conflict of interest I would like you to please reconsider this decision. Due to my last name it may seem that I might be related to Hemdee Kiwanuka, but that is far from the truth, I am just a fan of anyone with the name Kiwanuka. As a Ugandan, the name Kiwanuka means so much, it identify what tribe and clan you belong to, but it doesn't mean that I am related Hemdee Kiwanuka. Below are other Kiwanukas that I am not related too, but as I was searching on Rachel Kiwanuka rachel k singer and Halima Namakula Halima Namakula, I realized that Hemdee Kiwanuka doesn't have a page so I read/researched and created one for him as a fan of the Kiwanuka family.

There is also the singer Michael Kiwanuka, business woman Kiwanuka, Maria and football player Mathias Kiwanuka... I reference all this people with the same last name as mine, not to undermine your opinion, but to show you that we are not so many Ugandans highlighted, so when a few makes it, the entire country gets to know about it, so we follow each other very closely.

Instead of rejecting my article, I humbly request you to please help me get it better so I can also continue creating articles here. Could you please Re-Review the article... It was declined due to Notability of Hemdee Kiwanuka's credentials as an actor/producer and concert promoter, so I deleted the acting and concert credentials and only kept Film and Television Producer because Hemdee Kiwanuka had more articles written about him.

Leah Kiwanuka (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend you continue improving the article in draft space and then have another try at submitting it. Concentrate on finding independent references - see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Deb (talk) 08:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason for article to be rejected? It states that the reason is ":undefined" Leon V12 (talk) 03:45, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Leon V12, it looks like you somehow managed to delete the reviewer's explanation at the top of the page. I have restored it so that you can access it and follow relevant links, including the reviewer's "signature" if you wish to contact him/her directly.

Remsleep42 (talk) 03:57, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I attempted to create a new page for Andy Liu, one of the first American Go Association professionals -- I am new to wikipedia editing, so may have made some fundamental mistake -- however, I believe the AGA professionals should have wiki pages.... Please help me understand where I went wrong... My article for Andy Liu was rejected.... Please help me understand how I can correct my article...

Hi Remsleep42. I've left a basket of links on your talk page that may help you regroup. Informal guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Go say that professional 4-dans (4P) and above are notable. Andy Liu is 1P, so he is not a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article at this time. If you're interested in go, there are many related articles that could use improvement. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

04:31:50, 8 January 2019 review of submission by Leon V12

[edit]


The Athlete I made an article about, has placed in respectable competitions. I have sourced to the websites that state the competitions he has competed in. I have corrected the article according to the changes suggested by the reviewer.

Leon V12 (talk) 04:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Leon V12. There are no subject-specific notability guidelines for non-Olympic snowboarders. So accomplishments (winning such-and-such competition) cannot demonstrate notability. The only way to show notability would be with multiple, independent, reliable sources that contain significant coverage of him (think magazine and newspaper articles or books about him). Webpages that merely record statistics do not help prove notability. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are no subject-specific notability guidelines for non-Olympic snowboarders. So accomplishments (winning such-and-such competition) cannot demonstrate notability. Therefore I backed the results with Magazine articles and National TV interviews. Leon V12 (talk) 06:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

07:32:53, 8 January 2019 review of submission by The Great Yan

[edit]


I would like you to review this one because both of them share same name but different career. The Great Yan (talk) 07:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC) @The Great Yan:, that may well be true, but you have not given any evidence of Wikipedia:Notability and that's why your submission was declined.

07:45:51, 8 January 2019 review of submission by Sigute from InkAgency

[edit]


Afer my article was reviewed, it was declined since it was not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. However, all the references that were added were relevant and informative, but most of them were in Lithuanian and not in English. Was this the main reason why the article was declined?

I don't see why the article doesn't get accepted for publication. I've added the right references ...

13:37:02, 8 January 2019 review of draft by KatieGPO

[edit]


I am trying to create a page for our company Pimlico Opera. Most of the information is coming from us and our CEO so its deifficult to back this information up other than from our website. Can you help? KatieGPO (talk)

KatieGPO (talk) 13:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly you have a conflict of interest which you will need to declare on your user page. Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by reliable sources so that information can be verified.

We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject.If there are no such sources then we cannot have an article. Theroadislong (talk) 14:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

14:30:14, 8 January 2019 review of submission by WilliamKavinsky1993

[edit]


Hello, please could you advise on your rejection of this page. It has been referenced accordingly and I have removed the bias (from 'luxury' etc.). Please let me know your feedback.


WilliamKavinsky1993 (talk) 14:30, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The issues seems to be fixed. Place {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page if you wish to resubmit. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 07:08, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:03:35, 8 January 2019 review of submission by Lwazilwenkosi Mpofu

[edit]

My draft was rejected on basis that the person about whom the article is written (Brian Nhira) is, "not independently notable from the Voice" (AngusWOOF, 2018). I would love to know if it is inappropriate for me to use The Voice as one of the sources because Brian Nhira was part of the Voice contestants for season 10. Thank you for your kind response. Lwazilwenkosi Mpofu (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not inappropriate, but the reviewer feels you should have additional sources to show that he is well known for things other than The Voice. Deb (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I need to get my article started. Then I will be able to start making edits. I have made the references to my current article. Kawahauler (talk) Kawahauler (talk) 15:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission fails WP:ANYBIO. Needs significant coverage by independent, secondary sources. More information left on your talk page. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 14:52, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

19:01:02, 8 January 2019 review of submission by Amgray19

[edit]


This is very frustrating. I have worked very hard to address *all* past advice given to me to cite available literature on this topic, including many hours of research and revision. I have referenced every possible literature source that is available. It's rather interesting that there is an allowed page for one of the exams referenced in the draft of this page (the CRA exam), but the actual body that created the exam is not allowed to be included as an article. I would love some feedback to help, if possible. There are certainly less "notable" topics than this on Wikipedia, and thousands of people have certified with these exams. Thank you for your time, I would appreciate any advice.

Amgray19 (talk) 19:01, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It reads more like the organisation's website than an encyclopedia article. "The certifications carry numerous benefits to those who hold them" is rather promotional for instance and the "Board of Directors" section is pointless and not notable enough to mention.

21:20:14, 8 January 2019 review of draft by Nastasiak

[edit]


I've created the page recently and for the last 3 days, it stays in drafts. Even though I press on publish, it is still registered under the unsubmitted drafts. I cannot understand what do a do wrong. My user name is Nastasiak

Nastasiak (talk) 21:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nastasiak: there was a problem in the markup of the draft. There was a comment tag <!-- with no matching --> and that meant that the AfC submission tag wasn't being recognised when it was added to the end of the article. I have fixed this for you now and submitted the draft for review on your behalf. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:42, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi! Would it be possible to get some specific feedback to improve this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:5050x2020 ?

I modelled the formatting of the article on articles about similar campaigns and hashtags that straddle the social media and irl worlds, and describe impactful international campaigns for social change (MeToo, the Ice Bucket Challenge, YesAllWomen etc).

The note says that articles “should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources”. The article contains 40+ references, sourced from leading media outlets (such as the New York Times, the LA Times, The Guardian, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter), and government agencies in several countries.

The note also mentions refraining from “peacock language”. Would you mind clarifying and specifying what should be edited? The article currently doesn’t contain any adjectives or descriptive terms (I’ve refrained from using terms such as “leading”, “major”, “renowned”, etc). It reports facts in a neutral tone, all backed up with independent, published sources.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! Petra PetraPetraK (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC) PetraPetraK (talk) 22:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
