06:09, 9 June 2024 review of submission by Coldgradir

[edit]

How to change my sandbox to Coldgradir when I search Coldgradir Wikipedia on Google Coldgradir (talk) 06:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Coldgradir: drafts are not indexed by search engines, only published articles are, and this has zero chance of being published in its present state. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:34, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy link: Draft:Walter Wetzel Sr. @MTlegends: do you have a question about the draft? It is waiting for review. --bonadea contributions talk 12:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Bonadea. Yes I am waiting to hear back on its approval. I made an attempt to get a reply back but no one has updated me on it. I added a few more references but wanted to make sure it is going to be reviewed and approved. I have been waiting for months on get this approved.
Any update would be appreciated. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 12:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have ignored the advice that Legacy.com and IMDb are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 12:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize. There are a few other resources out there on him that can be used in place of these. I will add them. Thank you Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 14:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MTlegends please be patient. Drafts are reviewed in no particular order by volunteers. Like the template says, This may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 3,223 pending submissions waiting for review.
I see that your user page says you're the grandson of the person you're writing about. Please see WP:COI. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:46, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the feedback. User page info has been updated. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 13:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No it hasn't? You have removed the details of your relationship to the topic whereas you need to add it! Theroadislong (talk) 13:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did add it with a few other items. Hope it helps. I am new to all of this stuff. Thanks for your patience in advance. Ryan H Wetzel MTlegends(talk). 14:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MTlegends: One thing that delayed the review was the removal of some templates from the draft on 13 May – you deleted the current submission template (which meant that the page was removed from the category of drafts waiting for review), as well as the reviewer comments from earlier submissions. I restored them and the draft has already been reviewed again. If you edit and resubmit, please be careful not to remove any of the templates or comments from earlier reviews. --bonadea contributions talk 14:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

What was missing VineethVaraprasad (talk) 12:52, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the advice given to you above. Please do not create a new draft every time an old one is rejected. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@VineethVaraprasad: and if I can just add, I reported you for self-promotion, but the report went stale before anyone acted on it. I won't hesitate to report again, though, if you continue in this vein, so please stop now. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

please review the contact tell me the changes VineethVaraprasad (talk) 13:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VineethVaraprasad: What part of "do not remove rejection templates" do you not understand? The same draft has been rejected four times and will not be considered further. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your draft has been declined and rejected multiple times, your sources are NOT reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Need advice in publishing the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mira-Bhayander,_Vasai-Virar_Police page... Pratik.S2005 (talk) 14:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pratik.S2005, your draft was rejected four months ago. Please read the reviewers' notes, under the big orange/pink box on your draft. StartGrammarTime (talk) 03:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
but, if you analyse the topic, you will know that the topic is notable, yet not published... Pratik.S2005 (talk) 06:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pratik.S2005 IMO the draft could be merged into Maharashtra Police. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 06:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:50, 9 June 2024 review of submission by OkcuhC

[edit]

- How to reposition the infobox military person to the top right side of the page ? - How to cite Oman's New York Times 1948 obituary? Should it be in a bibliography? It was a "special to the New York Times" Obit. Have scan of original NYT clipping. It appears in NYT Obit index as: Oman, Charles M. (por) 1948. N 2, 25:5 but can't generate a proper direct link to it. Or is source and date sufficient? - My primary sources were the NYT obituary, and a congruent 1941 Who's Who in America entry - should both be listed? - Oman's 1943 book Doctor's Aweigh is in public domain, and available at https://archive.org/details/doctorsaweigh. Is it appropriate to include it as an External Link? OkcuhC (talk) 20:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OkcuhC Much general housekeeping has been done for you.
The Wordpress reference is a blog, the unreliable by definition. Source and date of the obit is a sufficient reference, though an ideal reference is available online. Even so, many references pre-date the internet and may not have been digitised, and are perfectly acceptable.
As a personal opinion, one reference only for one fact, though others are content with up to three. Three is my limit, not a target! 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks Timtrent. Should I add the Who's Who as a second reference source, and then go thru the bio section key facts adding the appropriate source? Is his book on naval medical history (1943, Doubleday publisher) appropriate as a second supporting source, including page numbers. His book does provide historical context and details on some of his life events.
Also, what was the trick you used to correctly position the infobox:military person on the page? Should I have put it at the start? 2601:19C:4000:3040:1891:5593:924E:C0C2 (talk) 12:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added citations to biography sections... 2601:19C:4000:3040:7014:82DC:20A7:DBDA (talk) 17:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my application declined Djy Lectxr 727 (talk) 21:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the message on your user talk page. ColinFine (talk) 21:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because it is an autobiography with no citations to support notability of any kind. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
