06:23:38, 28 January 2021 review of draft by CastellamareAsh

[edit]


Can I intentionally use some of the same references as in other articles? There is an overlap of information between my Fasting Hypoglycemia Draft and some existing articles such as Hypoglycemia. I will be finding and adding academic references and information myself for that which is unique to the subject of fasting hypoglycemia, however I am wondering if it would be inappropriate to use existing articles as a shortcut to find some references.

Hi CastellamareAsh. There's nothing wrong with using Wikipedia for ideas about possible sources. You may even copy text from Wikipedia articles, so long as you follow the rules about attribution. Just bear in mind that since anyone can edit the encyclopedia, you cannot assume that everything cited here is reliable, that it is accurately paraphrased, or that it fairly and proportionately represents all significant views on the topic. It's your responsibility to consult the source yourself (not some derivative of it), evaluate its reliability, and make a good faith effort to follow the neutral point of view policy (which might require also searching outside of Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

09:07:50, 28 January 2021 review of draft by Boxmode

[edit]


Hi all!

My name is Max, I found an old version of our Draft: Boxmode, which was rejected by editor Jen (Calliopejen1) on July 7, 2020. Apparently, earlier one of my colleagues tried to post information about our project on Wikipedia, but the publication was rejected because did not qualify for a Wikipedia article.

I am completely updated the information on the page. Expanded the "History" and others sections, added links to publications from independent media about our product.

After that, I once again submitted the publication by clicking the "Resubmit" button. And I wrote about it in Talk Calliopejen1.

What else do I need to do to get the publication approved? Please help me figure it out, this is the first time I am submitting a publication to Wikipedia :) Boxmode (talk) 09:07, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Boxmonde You seem to misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia. It is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself or what it considers to be its own history. 331dot (talk) 11:01, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thaeon I have linked to the draft instead of providing a copy, which transferred formatting inappropriate for this page here. 331dot (talk) 10:56, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You have posted this elsewhere; please only use one method of seeking assistance, to avoid duplication of effort. You have submitted it for review and it is pending; the last reviewer claimed that your draft is a hoax. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing to suggest a hoax, as SL93 asserts with vague evidence. Much of the text is supported by a scholarly source, the second most cited in the draft: Joseph S. Alter (1992). The Wrestler's Body: Identity and Ideology in North India. University of California Press. p. 233. ISBN 0-520-07697-4. Indeed, much of the text is too closely paraphrased from that source, so much so that I'm surprised it wasn't declined as a copyright violation. Alter translated a biography from a Hindi-language sports magazine, and notes that its literary style was designed "to evoke an image of greatness". Wikipedia isn't intended to be laudatory, so the tone of the copied text is more essay-like than the formal, neutral tone appropriate for an encyclopedia, another reason to decline the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:10, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce The biggest issues right now is that Thaeon has personally attacked me in multiple places and has forum-shopped this in multiple places. I woke up just now to insults. SL93 (talk) 14:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SL93 I'm sorry to hear that. Your comrades on the Afc rock pile appreciate your reviewing, even if the occasional submitter does not. I try to look at such newbie missteps as an opportunity for them to learn about civility and forum shopping. With only two mainspace edits, they are unlikely to have encountered those concepts in the Wikipedia context (although one might hope they are familiar with them in real life). --Worldbruce (talk) 15:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce Thanks. My mistake for declining the article was an honest mistake. The sources said "Mahadev Mishra" and now I know it's just another spelling of the wrestler's name. SL93 (talk) 15:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

11:17:29, 28 January 2021 review of draft by Ilka Dorchester

[edit]


The article I submitted was declined by one member review, after verifying that the information I presented is equal/similar to various other articles with less important "current issues" such as women & girls in education, I request to have a secondary review of my article since this article represents the courage of a young teacher claiming the rights to education for women and girls, and once again this is an article of relevance historical importance to have a place in history for the lady "Alice Faucon" presented in my article. Please have a second review. Many thanks for your cooperation, and understanding of the human rights importance of my article.

[edit]


I am a bit at a loss how to submit the page « Saade family » for review and approval. Can you tell how to proceed? Thanks

Silas9091 (talk) 13:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Silas9091 You click the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button in the box at the top of your draft. 331dot (talk) 13:17, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I feel many people would be interested in the information available in this draft. The issues addressed are all local, so the person who reviewed it may not have understood. Please consider that this is a local piece. Coleb0608 (talk) 22:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Local pieces are not suitable for Wikipedia. We are not social media. Primefac (talk) 22:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
