09:41:36, 7 January 2023 review of submission by Gertice4

[edit]


I feel like the argument "there will always be a next election" doesn't make sense as many other countries already have a wiki page about their next elections. The Wiki page can be renamed to the year the election will be held in the future (In this case most likely 2024). So I would like a re-review of the article as I believe the reason it was rejected was a poor one.

Johannes Maximilian This user is quite correct, we have Next United Kingdom general election. 331dot (talk) 09:56, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gertice4: this is a somewhat tricky area; it is true that there are similar articles, such as the Next German federal election; on the other hand, Wikipedia is not a CRYSTALBALL, and we cannot know for certain that a particular country will hold a particular election, even if it is currently expected to do so. FWIW, my (entirely non-expert) opinion is that the next Kosovan election seems notable enough, and likely enough to take place, that it could warrant an article. That being said, your draft is completely unreferenced, so clearly couldn't be accepted as it stands. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:57, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for understanding my initial problem. The reason the draft is unreferenced is beacuse...well... at this point there isn't really much to reference.(Except for the opinion polls, which they are referenced). The Electoral System category dosnt need to be referenced as that's how the country votes for its leaders since 2001, while the background category, allthough can be referenced, dosn't really have to.
But if references are required then I will reference the background category. Gertice4 (talk) 10:01, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gertice4: picking up on the point you raise, and at the same time correcting my earlier comment where I said this seems "notable enough", if no sources can be found (yet) to support this article, then that could mean it isn't (yet) notable enough for inclusion. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:11, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken, I have added several references to the drafted page. Hopefully it will get accepted now. Gertice4 (talk) 10:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gertice4: My two questions left in regarding the page are "When?" and "Why?". A reference on what day the election must take place by, so not by 2024, but by November 30, 2024 (or whatever the day is), why it is that day (something like 3 years from the first day that the existing legislature is in session (whatever it really is) and then a reference for that either to a secondary or even a primary (the Kosovan law) source. If that were added, then I'd personally move it to mainspace.Naraht (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have already fixed the date on when the election will be held. I have referenced the Kosovan constitution. I wasn't able to provide an exact date as you asked due to the Kosovan constitution not being direct on the date.(Example. It dosnt say it must take place exactly 4 years from the previous one).Hopefully you will accept this. Gertice4 (talk) 17:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Feetfeet 341 (talk) 14:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC) I am requesting a re-review[reply]

16:42:07, 7 January 2023 review of submission by Africannewschannel

[edit]

Because I feel like this article is from the global south, include informations about alternative medicine, climate change, India activist etc. these are some of the important topics wikipedia is trying to bring up in there pages.

Gokul, is having articles in his name I found via search in Google. And also he is inspired a lot of young doctors in ayurveda (alternative medicine field) to pursue their voyage of proving to the world the importance of alternative medicine & researching on it. Also, Climate action as an Indian Youth. Most part of india even have not heard of such opportunities which he trying to bring to those people in the south. Together with Health & Climate, he has a lot of action done. A person like him should be included in wiki, if not its something which is going to be a lose to wikipedia itself.

Lastly, I'm learning how to add pages to Wikipedia & this is the way I can do it. I think there is a lot from out global south that should be part of wiki. Please help me learn & do more wiki pages. Africannewschannel (talk) 16:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

20:42:13, 7 January 2023 review of draft by Logandeb

[edit]


Hello, I am seeking clarity regarding the status of the article I created, Swift Current Transit. To me, it looks to be of a similar caliber to the likes of 100 Mile House, Bella Coola, Campbell River, Comox Valley, West Kootenay, Airdrie, Prince George, Fredricton, Saint John, and King's Transit; yet it was flagged for deletion and has been moved into drafts. What more can I do to flesh out the article aside from going to the town itself and rifling through their archives to find something. Is the solution as simple as flagging it as a stub? Many thanks for any assistance! Logandeb (talk) 20:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Logandeb I haven't looked at the references in depth, but you should read Other Stuff Exists.
Not to be harsh, but I also hold the opinion that an encyclopedia, such as Wikipedia, should not contain information that is likely to become out-of-date quickly. This includes transit schedules, which bus or train lines run which routes, the exact cost of fares, etc.
Are you committing to re-checking the article against the sources, and updating the article every couple of weeks until the end of time to keep it accurate? If you are, that's a lot of work. On the other hand, if you create an article and want others to keep it up to date, then you are inadvertently creating work for others to do. (In computer programming, we call this "adding technical debt".)
Readers who want to know this information will be much better served by checking the transit line's own Web site, or a search engine, at the time they need this information. I think that all of the other articles that you mention suffer from the same issue. I hope this helps. David10244 (talk) 07:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
