04:13, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Lovefortravel

[edit]

Hello! I would love to learn what constitutes as promotional or advertising? I referenced Wikiepedia pages of many other celebrities of similar back grounds and created a framework similar to theirs in order to make sure everything written was within the Wikipedia guidelines. Any recommendations is appreciated! Lovefortravel (talk) 04:13, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lovefortravel: seriously? This is so promotional, I couldn't get past the lead section – you've managed to include "celebrated" there, twice! Pretty much every sentence includes praise or peacock words. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for letting me know! I am new to Wikipedia so wanting to learn the appropriate verbiage to create articles. Will edit promptly and keep this in mind for future pages! Lovefortravel (talk) 08:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lovefortravel: okay. Go for 'boring and factual'. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article should be almost entirely based on what people wholly unconnected with the subject have published about them (good or bad), and not at all on what the subject or their associates say or want to say.
It is quite possible that the articles about "other celebrities" that you have found are very poor articles which would not be accepted if they were submitted for review today. See WP: OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. ColinFine (talk) 22:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:24, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Ashgabat 2024

[edit]

I am writing to seek your assistance and guidance regarding the evaluation and improvement of a Wikipedia draft that I have been working on.

Upon reviewing the feedback received, it has become apparent that the draft lacks sufficient references to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. To address this concern, I am seeking your assistance in incorporating multiple published sources.

If you could provide assistance in reviewing the draft and suggesting appropriate sources, I would greatly appreciate your input. Additionally, any guidance on how to effectively navigate this process would be highly beneficial.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your insights and appreciate your time and expertise in helping improve the draft to meet Wikipedia's standards. Ashgabat 2024 (talk) 05:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

stop using chatgpt for your comments. ltbdl (talk) 08:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't look to me as if you have a single source that meets the conditions in WP:42 that is, places where somebody who has no connection with the CCT, or with the government, has chosen, of their own will, to write at some length about the CCT.

thnaks Errajeevsharmabjp1 (talk) 10:44, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft has already been deleted. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 10:54, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:48, 2 February 2024 review of submission by 49.43.230.103

[edit]

Its any promotion its an app used by public in Andhra Pradesh can somebody help me in submitting my article 49.43.230.103 (talk) 11:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has been rejected, and will therefore not be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

15:20, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Rabbitrace

[edit]

i need to put up a biography page, with simple basic content for a lebanese business man and everytime i try to do so the draft gets rapid deletion notice 

Rabbitrace (talk) 15:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@rabbitrace: are you being paid for this? if yes, disclose it now. ltbdl (talk) 15:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rabbitrace: that's because Wikipedia is not like LinkedIn where anyone can post their 'profile'. We are an encyclopaedia, and publish articles on subjects which are deemed notable. There was zero evidence of notability, and the sources cited didn't support anything of substance, in your drafts. They were also promotional in both tone and content.
BTW, what is your relationship with this Joseph Chubat? If you're him, please read and understand WP:AUTOBIO for all the reasons why you shouldn't be writing about yourself at all. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:18, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Tahaharris

[edit]

i am resubmitting an article that was declined and when trying to publish it the following message appears: How do I address this issue please?

No stashed content found for 1194415356/fed5ee84-ae72-11ee-80f9-2cea7f81fe52 Tahaharris (talk) 17:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tahaharris: I'm no expert, but I believe it's a problem with the visual editor, whereby it stores information temporarily in a local stash, which can get deleted or possibly corrupted (?) if the browser is left open for too long or the cache is interfered with. If the stashed content has gone, it may not be recoverable. Or something like that... this is really outside the scope of this help desk, or at least this particular help desk bod. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:30, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info! Tahaharris (talk) 10:58, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But it has absolutely nothing to do with the content of your submission. It's a purely technical issue. ColinFine (talk) 22:30, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19:38, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Ukvc

[edit]

Help creating article I would like assistance with the creation of Draft:Silicon Roundabout Ventures. I followed the outline I found in Amadeus Capital Partners and I believe the references are stronger as they either come from reputable databases not everyone has access to (eg: being one of the registered small regulated investment firms in the UK), or from extended articles covering either the launch and strategy of the firm or the founder and general partner. Ukvc (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ukvc Please see Other stuff exists; it is a poor idea to use any random article as a model, as that too could be problematic and you would be unaware of this. I see some of the same problems in the article you used as with your draft. It is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected and unaddressed, even for years- we can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those that are classified as good articles, which have been checked by the community. 331dot (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you work for this company, that needs to be disclosed, please see your user talk page for more information. 331dot (talk) 20:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - I'll review your suggestions Ukvc (talk) 20:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Information from databases is unlikely to contribute to establishing notability, which is basically about "Is there enough independent reliable published information to base an article on?"
extended articles covering ... the launch and strategy of the firm will be great sources if they are wholly independent: if they come from the company or its founders in any way, including articles based on a press release, then Wikipedia is not interested in them.

21:06, 2 February 2024 review of submission by Noseallergy

[edit]

Hello, I have since revised the article on Los Angeles-based interior designer Claudia Morales a few times now. I believe I achieved taking out the "advertising" element in the text and included more citations for her. I am at my wit's end about how to get this article approved. She does not have many citations and much of what she has is from one source, Laguna Beach Magazine. Is this article never going to get approved? Please assist. Thanks. Noseallergy Noseallergy (talk) 21:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no draft for Claudia Morales? Theroadislong (talk) 21:14, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

22:04, 2 February 2024 review of submission by CoryHReynolds

[edit]

Hello, after getting my page on the writer, actress and filmmaker Nadja Tesich added to the mainspace last week, I added quite a few new primary and secondary citations, as requested by the Wiki editor who reviewed the page. I did not want to delete the box at the top because I wasn't sure if I'd be penalized -- even though it looks like I am authorized to do it. I am writing to ask about a second comment. Another editor commented that the page "contains content that is written like an advertisement." I am not sure what to do about that one, as all of the text was written originally! Thanks so much for any help you can give! CoryHReynolds (talk) 22:04, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CoryHReynolds: this isn't really an AfC matter any more now that the article has been published, but since you're here: anyone can add or remove maintenance tags, but they should be neither added nor removed without good reason. The 'primary sources' tag can be removed once sufficient secondary sources have been added for it to no longer apply, and the removal can be done by anyone including you. The 'promotional' tag will require some editing of the text, to remove peacock expressions and hyperbole, such as "starring role", "exceptional student", "youthful triumph", etc. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and articles therefore should be written in a dry, factual manner. (And whether the text was "written originally" [whatever that means, exactly] does not preclude it being promotional in tone, or vice versa.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. Very clear. I will remove the peacock expressions. Much appreciated. CoryHReynolds (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

22:18, 2 February 2024 review of submission by LetsWalkTheDinosaurs

[edit]

why are my edits getting declined? but according to articles they have 76 aircraft? LetsWalkTheDinosaurs (talk) 22:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a forum to ask about existing articles, you should use the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 23:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
