01:58:39, 17 May 2020 review of draft by LittleDinghy

[edit]


Today I created my first Wikipedia account, created my user page and sandbox page, and started editing on my sandbox page using "Edit," which I'm more comfortable with than the "Edit Source." What I've written so far on the page explains how I want to use the page. Using "Edit," I've added two equations on the page, both numbered by using the citation feature. However, the citation list is not showing at the bottom of the page as I expected. Note that I put the equations in the citations as well, so as to have a list of all equations on the page in one place, with a link back to each equation reference on the page.

How can I get the equation citation list to show when published? It shows when in "Edit" mode, but not when published.

Thank you! LittleDinghy from Seattle.

@LittleDinghy: look if you set a custom group attribute on <ref>, you need to add a group to {{reflist}} as well. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I want to present Indu Devi Tard on Wikipedia. I want you to improve the article.

Viki Tuber (talk) 05:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Viki Tuber Your draft was rejected, not just declined, meaning there is little to no chance it can be improved enough to meet Wikipedia standards of notability- this person does not seem to meet the definition of a notable politician. We can't improve your drafts for you- it is up to you- but again, in this case, no amount of editing will help. 331dot (talk) 06:59, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

My question is what is the difference between his page being published and Undrafted free agents from this years draft class Brosenow (talk) 06:38, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brosenow Please see other stuff exists; as this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, and can only act on what they know about, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected. That isn't a reason for yours to exist. If you'd care to give an example of an existing article like yours, we can give you a better answer, but either 1) the existing article meets a different notability criteria or 2) the article is inappropriate and just hasn't been addressed yet. It appears that Malik Taylor does not meet the Wikipedia definition of a notable football player because he has not yet appeared in a NFL game. Once he does, he will merit an article. You can certainly maintain your draft until the football season to see if he appears in a game. 331dot (talk) 07:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:00:58, 17 May 2020 review of submission by Ogeode

[edit]

I am requesting a re-review because my initial copy was rejected. I have made several adjustments to the post so far. I also sorted help from the chat room and made the recommended adjustments. Thanks. Ogeode (talk) 10:00, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ogeode. AllBaze is user-generated promotional content, not an independent reliable source. This Day (via PressReader) is churnalism that briefly quotes Ogboruche; it is not significant coverage of him. The two pieces in The Guardian (Nigeria) similarly quote him briefly but are not significant coverage of him. Gospotainment.com doesn't mention Ogboruche. A personal blog like www.lindaikejisblog.com is not a reliable source, and must never be used as a source of information about a living third party. That particular post is a press release from Tehila Records. If you could prove it was written by Ogboruche, you would be allowed to cite it, but it would not be an independent source, so would not help establish notability.
Rejection is meant to convey that the topic is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem, it's hopeless. So volunteers do not intend to review the draft again. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your very detailed feedback Worldbruce. I get the picture now. Ogeode (talk) 05:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10:43:45, 17 May 2020 review of submission by Giraffer

[edit]

Hi,

I tried to create an page for my userbox (in my sandbox) to be published under the name 'User:UBX/CGPGreyCatan' but it got rejected as it was said to be empty. I have already posted about this on the teahouse but I thought AfC might be helpful as well.

I'm not entirely sure why it got rejected. The user (not bot) that rejected it said it was blank but it has a userbox on it. Is this the wrong place to create a userbox?

Thanks in advance, Giraffer (talk) 10:43, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giraffer. Potential articles go through the Articles for Creation review process. Userboxes are not potential articles and should not be submitted for review. You can test your userbox in your sandbox, then copy it to wherever you plan to host it, such as User:UBX/CGPGreyCatan. You don't need to involve anyone else. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks Giraffer (talk) 14:34, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mdecastrog: Presumably @Theroadislong: has more on this, but I suspect that the sources in the draft are either unreliable or independent of the subject. I have added the AFC template to the top so you can submit it once the issiues are resolved. Note that I know that you can move it back to mainspace whereever you wish, but it's not recommended.

12:51:53, 17 May 2020 review of submission by Lt.SpectreJinx Valdez

[edit]

Wikipedia editor have warned me about my article but now I have already changed the issues being mentioned. Will my article be posted or reviewed? Lt.SpectreJinx Valdez (talk) 12:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lt.SpectreJinx Valdez. It appears that AISHL will be deleted. Not only is the group not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia), the article doesn't even make a credible claim that they are important or significant. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

15:12:26, 17 May 2020 review of draft by Fraserburgh

[edit]


Good evening! I am puzzled as to why a reference to an article in the major Hong Kong daily newspaper, for example, is regarded as unreliable or unverifiable. If you are unable to see the article, I can send a cutting as an email attachment. Also, why is a reference to Asian Cha, an online literary journal based in Hong Kong regarded as unreliable or unverifiable? If I provide a reference, do you also require it to be repeated as an in-text citation? Grateful for your guidance! Fraserburgh (talk) 15:12, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear that anyone has said they're unreliable? BUT YouTube and blogs ARE unreliable, it would help if you removed them. Theroadislong (talk) 15:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
