01:35:06, 27 January 2020 review of draft by Kulotchii

[edit]


Hi, I am seeing other articles that reference social media posts such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. My subject is a vlogger which is why most of his updates are in social media. Up to what extent can social media media references be used?

Kulotchii (talk) 01:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kulotchii: Social media is a primary source and it can be used only for basic uncontroversial facts. Furthermore, biographies must not rely on primary sources at all. Occasionally, we quote what someone said, but it should be avoided. A single external link to their social profile is acceptable if it is used in the capacity of their official website/online pretense. There are many articles on Wikipedia that are not well-written and break these rules and should eventually be fixed, so you shouldn't use them for comparison. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:15, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello David the reason I'm submitting this article is that Suubbis is a famous and popular company in Somalia and they wanted to get noted in Wikipedia as one of the companies in Somalia that are recentely famous. so I need from you to help me to get this article in Wikipedia Thank you. Dhisodhulkaaga (talk) 08:05, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dhisodhulkaaga: Wikipedia does not publish articles unless they have multiple reliable independent in-depth sources. This means publications like newspapers, books, etc. Most companies are not notable. Wikipedia doesn't use measures like "famous" or "popular", only reliable independent sourcing. Unless you have such sources, there's nothing we can do to get it published. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 12:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I am requesting a re-review because the subject was not "notable enough", I have added more sources where they have covered the subject. If you need me to add even more, I can. I just need to visit one of the libraries in my area.

This topic is still not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, sorry. Theroadislong (talk) 12:18, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Engjony 16:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Hello. I have submitted the draft of article for review. The reviewers have explained reasons for its denial too. I have given an explanation to them and also made changes to the previous draft. Is it still denied or submitted for review again? Please guide me to publish my article on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tapon Mahamud Jony (talk • contribs) 16:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tapon Mahamud Jony: If you are writing about yourself, don't. It is very hard, and unlikely, to get your own Wikipedia page. If you were actually notable, someone else would have written an article about you. Not having a Wikipedia article isn't a bad thing, I don't have one, and neither do most of the 8 billion living people. I have rejected your draft as not notable, and suggest you do not resubmit. It was not greatly improved since the last submission, and much work would needed to have been done. But no amount of work can overcome a lack of notability. We don't write about everyone on Wikipedia I'm afraid. I suggest you find something else to edit. If you would like some suggestions on other places or things to edit, leave a note on my talk page and I can try to help you out. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I found two spelling errors ("Monatgue" instead of "Montague" in the article I submitted, which has progressed from the Sandbox to "Draft". How do I correct these? Sorry, I'm sure this is probably easy but I can't figure it out.

Lauriebreath (talk) 18:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lauriebreath, You may simply press the edit button atop the page (see Help:Editing for a complete guide). I also note that in order to get your draft published, you'll need to make more and significant edits to show that the subject is notable. Please ask here if you are confused about that.
