[edit]

I met Matti Charlton only briefly at a Town Hall they were attending and speaking at and I was moved by their struggle and creative work, so I approached them afterwards and asked if I could write a wikipedia entry about them since I use wikipedia religiously. They said that was fine, It's my first article but can you please check if there's anything more I need to do to get it accepted? I have tried to follow all the requirements but have been having some trouble. 70.52.166.160 (talk) 06:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has been resubmitted and is awaiting review. We don't provide on-demand pre-reviews here at the help desk, so you will have to wait until a reviewer picks up and assesses the draft. If you have a specific question you wish to ask, you may do so. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

10:14, 5 October 2023 review of submission by Uniting Arts

[edit]

Hello!

I have created a page for a Romanian singer. Although I have added external sources written by various people and the artist has million of views all together on different youtube and facebook accounts owned by various people, the submission team declined it.

I have removed the youtube and facebook links most watched because I understood that Wikipedia doesn't accept them. How can I prove that this singer is worth having a wiki page?

Thank you Uniting Arts (talk) 10:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Uniting Arts. You need to read WP:NSINGER and prove to us that she meets those criteria set out in that guideline. Qcne (talk) 11:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How can i successfully sumit my draft without being declined 105.112.109.175 (talk) 12:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is completely unsourced. Any draft about this topic must summarize what independent reliable sources say about this topic. If you have no such sources, the topic does not merit an article at this time. 331dot (talk) 12:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the advised changes, kindly need help reviewing the page. PreethaK2023 (talk) 12:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have resubmitted the draft and it is pending. Please be patient, there is a large number of drafts awaiting review. 331dot (talk) 12:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:09:07, 5 October 2023 review of draft by Tinfoilhat8001

[edit]


I created a page as part of an established wikipedia project (U.S. Supreme Court Cases), and I am having trouble adding the tag for the WikiProject in order to perhaps expedite review Tinfoilhat8001 (talk) 15:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a particular need for a speedy review? I'm not sure the tags really speed it up much. Drafts are reviewed in no particular order by volunteers. 331dot (talk) 15:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:48, 5 October 2023 review of submission by Golf-ulk

[edit]

It seems to me, that the crucial question is whether Louis Sucheston deserves an article in Wikipedia. His best known result is the "Prophet inequality". This has been called "famous" and "classical", and, in fact, there is by now an enormous number of publications, which mention the prophet inequaliy even in the title. There are now connections to many different subjects , and various applications. The topic has been taught not only in probabiliy courses but also in computer science. The other work of Louis Sucheston is interesting but less spectacular. He has been honored by the Humboldt prize, and he solved some problems mentioned in the literature, but no problems of central significance. My impression is, that in the German Wikipedia, the standards are less strict, but he is an American mathematician. One of his results will last forever, but is this sufficient? 

Golf-ulk (talk) 15:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Golf-ulk. Firstly, yes, the German and English Wikipedias are two different projects with different policies and guidelines. Just because there is an article about him on de. does not mean there can automatically be one on en.
The problems with your draft are two-fold:
1) It has improper in-line citations. Biographies should have proper in-line citations for each statement. Currently you just have plain-text citation numbers, instead of dynamic references with an automatically-generated reference list. I would recommend turning on the Visual Editor and following the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE which may be easier for you to follow.
2) Some of your sources are invalid: you can't use geni.com as it is generally an unreliable source. You can't source Wikipedia articles, but you can wikilink them instead.
Louis may indeed pass WP:NACADEMIC but, you need to fix the above issues first.
Let me know if you have any questions, Qcne (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

15:56, 5 October 2023 review of submission by PixelThePro

[edit]

My page about Moroccan meat cigars has been drafted because of “no mentions”. Not to be rude but it’s literally just 2-3 paragraphs of info and a picture WHICH I REFERENCED. I don’t understand why it needs more references! I did all I could, all the info is there. and yet I need more ? it’s 2 paragraphs of text! please help!! PixelThePro (talk) 15:56, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @PixelThePro, your second source is to Reddit which is an improper source as it is WP:USERGENERATED. Please remove it. Your other two sources just look to be recipe blogs? They aren't great for establishing "notability" either. Are there any sources that discuss this dish from reputable, reliable places? Academic journals, news articles, published books, etc. Qcne (talk) 20:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’m so sorry, I searched everywhere I still don’t know when the dish was created, also the references are from where I got the text and also the pics PixelThePro (talk) 20:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If there are no more sources to be found, then I am afraid this dish does not quality for a Wikipedia article at this time. Sorry. It does look delicious though.
Please also do not steal images you have no rights to and use them on Wikipedia. That is against our Terms of Service. We have very strict rules regarding images: WP:IMAGEPOL. Qcne (talk) 20:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
im sorry i just dont know the copyright stuff and it doesnt even say it on the websites 😔
I’ll just delete the page, im done with editing and creating here PixelThePro (talk) 20:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:23, 5 October 2023 review of submission by Oequihua

[edit]

Hello! I need help making this draft "reliable", it was declined as it did not have reliable sources, but I am working with the subject of this article (Dr. Goh). Oequihua (talk) 19:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Oequihua. Firstly, are you getting paid by Dr Goh to write this article? If so you must immediately make a paid editing disclosure by following the instructions at WP:PAID. Failure to do so is a breach of Wikimedia Foundation Terms and Conditions.
Thank you for making a conflict of interest disclosure already.
The problem with your draft is that it relies on a single source, which is just a paper that Dr Goh has written. This is not enough sources to establish if Dr Goh meets our WP:NACADEMIC people, or even our WP:NBASIC criteria. Articles must have have sources that show the subject has been covered in multiple published independent and reliable sources.
Let us know if you have specific questions. Qcne (talk) 19:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The draft has been deleted by Whpq as a copyright violation of [1]. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 22:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I don't know why my draft got declined and I need help getting it off of drafts and onto the website. 2020coolguy2 (talk) 20:51, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2020coolguy2 it has been rejected and won't be considered further. Your draft was incoherent and not suitable for Wikipedia. Qcne (talk) 20:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
is it the topic or the writing 2020coolguy2 (talk) 20:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both. Please carefully read WP:YFA. Qcne (talk) 20:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

23:04, 5 October 2023 review of submission by Lily and me

[edit]

Please tell me why my submission was rejected. Than k you Lily and me (talk) 23:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lily and me Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, that's what social media is for. Please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 23:10, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What makes you think it's me? I know him. He deserves the mention. He's notable. He's the CEO of Newsweek. Doesn't that qualify? If not, why not? Thank you. Lily and me (talk) 00:52, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You tripped some self-promotion filters, but if you say you aren't him, okay. However, you do have a conflict of interest to disclose.
You draft was deleted as blatant promotion; it was poorly sourced and used promotional language like "visionary", "digital powerhouse". Articles must be written very dryly, in a neutral point of view. If sources describe him as a "visionary", those need to be cited. Please see Referencing for beginners. 331dot (talk) 07:50, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I still don't understand. Everything in my submission is completely straight-forward, factual and with footnotes. What's a conflict of interest in that context? As I said, I know him, and I believe he's worthy of inclusion, purely on merit. He's the CEO of Newsweek. full stop. Please post it. Thank you! Lily and me (talk) 16:39, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't understand the issue with my submission. Dev Pragad is CEO of Newsweek. His co-owner, a silent partner, is in Wikipedia with his own entry, Jonatan Davis. Newsweek's Wikipedia entry notes that Pragad is CEO. Each entry is footnoted. What's missing? Thank you. Lily and me (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lily and me: as already explained, the draft was promotional, which is why it was deleted.
Being the CEO of anything does not make one automatically notable. Being mentioned in Wikipedia articles, or having a colleague or partner etc. who has a Wikipedia article does not make one notable, as notability is not inherited.
If you can find sources which satisfy the WP:GNG notability standard, you can summarise what they say (in your own words, and without putting any extra 'spin' on things), and if you can write in a neutral, unbiased, non-promotional manner, you can have another attempt at this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:07, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
