[edit]


Can I move this Draft to main page? GargAvinash (talk) 05:28, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GargAvinash, please wait for it to be reviewed. Yes, there is a backlog, but it will be reviewed eventually. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BG J. Johnson (talk) 10:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BG J. Johnson, I didn't mean to accuse you, its simply a formality we ask of many draftees. Many of our draft writers have personal or paid relationships that they don't realize they need to disclose, so its asked frequently. I mean no disrespect and cast no aspersions. It arose because of your previous username, which implied that you were a gallery owner, and thus if you had some of Apostu's work that might be an issue.
With that behind us, many issues remain in the article, and I recommend you follow the cogent advice of the folks who have replied to you previously. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]


This item have not been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments. Merely I found the artist on the Internet and saw that he has achievements in the cultural field and that he has made a unique painting in the world with more than 8000 colors. How is it possible to be so blind and to make such accusations?

Hello

I added reliable sources to this article.

What do I need to get this article published?

Kind regards

Jonashgs (talk) 15:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jonashgs, sources have to be published. The whole point of sourcing is so that others can verify the information. Names of people both aren't verifiable - we can't ask them, and also aren't independent from the tournament, so aren't reliable either. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:11, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again

Thanks for your reply

All our sources are on physical paper, so how can I add these as a reliable source?

Kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonashgs (talk • contribs) 21:04, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jonashgs. See Help:Referencing for beginners and Wikipedia:Citing sources for detailed information. For an offline newspaper, at the end of a phrase, sentence, or paragraph that the source supports (after any punctuation, and without a space before the beginning of the <ref> tag), add code like:
<ref>{{cite news |author=Sven Svensson |title=Torsten Lager blev svensk mästare |newspaper=Blekinge Läns Tidning |date=20 January 2020 |language=sv |page=4}}</ref>
Replace the values assigned to author, title, newspaper, date, and page with the values that describe your source. There are templates {{cite book}}, {{cite magazine}}, and so forth, that can also be used for offline sources of those types. Learning the mechanics of how to cite sources is a useful skill if you are going to write about other things. You shouldn't be writing about the John Poysti Classic Ping Pong Tournament, however, because of your connection to it. Furthermore, the draft has been rejected as not notable. Rejection is meant to be final, to convey that volunteers do not intend to review the draft again. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:06, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article have NOT been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments. It's a baseless notification. Merely I found the artist on the net and I think it deserves attention especially because it influenced other cultural events of the same kind and because he made a painting with over 8000 colors, which, after the research done, seems to be unique in the world. It is a shame to make such statements without researching yourself if what is written about this artist is or not true. So if you think the artist deserves to be included on Wikipedia, please assist me to edit and publish this article.

The miss-understanding may have been prompted by your former user, name which implied you were a gallery. Theroadislong (talk) 15:27, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note that they are still editing with both accounts interchangeably. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 15:55, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You need to choose one account or the other User:John BG Johnson or User:BG J. Johnson you cannot use both. Theroadislong (talk) 16:07, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Chasma1 (talk) 17:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chasma1, your article has been declined because content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations.
Articles about living people generally require in line citations (as opposed to just a ref list at the end), where statements are referenced directly in the text. At the moment we have a list of references, but we don't know which reference supports which claim, hence which claims are actually verifiable.
Please read User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners, a useful guide on how to do in text citations. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:17, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

why has been my article declined
