I am new to wikipedia and i don't know how to wright a article Natsu Misikava (talk) 07:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Natsu Misikava: you should be able to find everything you need at WP:YFA.
However, the first thing you need to do before you start writing anything is determine if your intended subject is notable. Usually this is done by reference to the WP:GNG notability standard, which requires significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. If you cannot find such sources, then there is no point in even starting a draft. If you can find sufficient sources that meet the GNG standard, then essentially you write your draft by summarising (in your own words) what those sources have said.
Actually, the very first thing you need to do is disclose any interest you may have in your chosen subject. I will post a message on your talk page with more info on this. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Natsu Misikava. Your draft is an advertisement, and advertising is not permitted on Wikipedia. Cullen328 (talk) 01:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rishus5911: this draft has already been rejected, and will therefore not be considered further, let alone "approved". -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I don't understand why this draft article has been rejected. Could I please receive some guidance as to what I'm supposed to modify in order to get it published? Thank you very much in advance.

[edit]

I am trying to publish my article about the first Uzbek technology company, which produces computer software, games and other digital products. But moderators think that I am publishing an advertising, which only promotes a company. Why? There is no any links to products, which I might advertise. Lesterleexxx (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lesterleexxx:
Firstly, because this is advertising; see WP:YESPROMO.
Secondly, there is not even the slightest suggestion of any notability, which is a hard requirement for any article to be accepted into Wikipedia.
Thirdly, because you have a conflict of interest, as stated on your user page, yet you have not made a formal disclosure. For this reason you are also not allowed to publish anything directly (and this includes moving from drafts into the main article space) on a subject where you have a COI.
And fourthly, because you keep recreating the same content over and over again, which is WP:TENDENTIOUS. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13:56, 1 May 2023 review of submission by Cseedi

[edit]

The topic appears notable in view of its historical association with a related topic Scientific American. Cseedi (talk) 13:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cseedi: 'association' with anything does not confer notability; also, the sources cited are pretty rubbish, if I'm honest. If you wish to appeal against the rejection, you need to take your case to the reviewer who rejected this, and demonstrate that the subject meets WP:NJOURNALS. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:01, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cseedi, please be aware that notability is not inherited. Cullen328 (talk) 02:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gpshibu (talk) 14:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gpshibu: please don't copypaste your draft here.
Is there a question you would like to ask? --DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gpshibu, an unreferenced biography of a living person is a policy violation. Your draft will never be accepted in its current form. Cullen328 (talk) 02:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:52, 1 May 2023 review of submission by CliveKeyte

[edit]

Hi, I'm trying to get some help with this article. I found a page on Companies based in Hampshire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_based_in_Hampshire, and wanted to add Intrafocus to the list. I then looked at the format of three companies in the list and copied the one for Kenwood Limited. I substituted the content with content from Intrafocus Limited and submitted the article, which was rejected. I'm not too surprised, but I hoped for some more constructive help rather than what appeared to be a boilerplate response. Is there anyone who can help me construct a more informative page? Many thanks. CliveKeyte (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CliveKeyte: the draft is promotional, poorly referenced, and has no indication of any notability.
Also, you clearly have a conflict of interest; I will post a message on your talk page on how to address this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Probably also worth explaining that you shouldn't model your draft after existing articles, but rather by reference to the policies and guidelines applicable; otherwise you may simply replicate errors which exist in the articles that you try to mimic. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:14, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
CliveKeyte, you modeled your draft on a stub class article, which is the lowest possible rating. That's like copying the homework of a student who has the worst grades in the class. Take a look at Good articles or Featured articles instead. Cullen328 (talk) 02:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@CliveKeyte I don't understand this part: "Strategy Workshops based the Balanced Scorecard in association with the Strategy Management Group,.[1], and The George Washington University". What is the "balanced scorecard"? What is KPI? What are SMEs? There should not be an "author disclosure" within the article; your WP:COI (or, more appropriate, WP:PAID) declaration belongs on your user page. You'll have a hard time getting this approved unless you can find independent sources. See WP:YFA. David10244 (talk) 11:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:03, 1 May 2023 review of submission by Brian.butt

[edit]

I cannot understand why this band is being rejected as not notable I have verified large amount of monthly streams from independent sources. I am aware of similar bands with less verified sources. I need help getting this article approved. Brian.butt (talk) 16:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't shown how they would pass WP:NBAND and Spoitify, YouTube and Discogs are not reliable sources. If you see any "similar bands with less verified sources" then tell us what they are and we can either improve them or delete them, see WP:OSE. Theroadislong (talk) 16:14, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

20:06, 1 May 2023 review of submission by Ifayinka12

[edit]

I don't know how to enter my draft afc Ifayinka12 (talk) 20:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ifayinka12 please see Your first article. Wikipedia is not a blog or social media so is not the appropriate place to write about yourself. If that is what you want to do, you will need do it elsewhere. S0091 (talk) 20:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ifayinka12, you are not notable and are therefore not eligible for a Wikipedia biography. Please focus on your education instead, and read Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors. Cullen328 (talk) 01:46, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

22:40, 1 May 2023 review of submission by 122.56.171.181

[edit]

I've improved my draft please read it again 122.56.171.181 (talk) 22:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, the draft violates most of Wikipedia's core policies such as verifiability, no original research and maintaining a neutral point of view, thus is rejected so will no longer be considered. S0091 (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
IP, your draft is pretty much nonsense. Cullen328 (talk) 01:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

22:57, 1 May 2023 review of submission by Jovial script

[edit]

my page was taken down even though nothing in it is false why is that. I just think it would be cool to have my own wiki page Jovial script (talk) 22:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jovial script see What Wikipedia is not. S0091 (talk) 23:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jovial script, your draft is a childish publicity stunt. Abandon that behavior if you want to edit this encyclopedia. Cullen328 (talk) 01:39, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
