06:49, 3 March 2024 review of submission by Autherer

[edit]

I want to add references to the page "HUDC", but I don't know how to do that. Please help.

Thank you Autherer (talk) 06:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Autherer: you have already successfully added one (albeit in the wrong place – citations should ideally be placed inline against the information they support), so just repeat as needed. See WP:REFB and WP:ILC for further advice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why my all article rejected check my sand box. Anujch 2011 (talk) 06:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission was a completely unsourced text telling your views of what makes a good marketer. Wikipedia articles are for summarizing what independent reliable sources say about a topic. There is already an article about marketing, if you have sourced information about the marketing industry, you may edit that article. 331dot (talk) 07:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how to make good 14.199.3.141 (talk) 07:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. It is completely unsourced; any article about an Instagram account or page must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose to say about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. Please see Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 07:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hhh Ayyyl (talk) 07:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayyyl: that's not a question. Do you have one in mind? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The absolute first step in writing an article for Wikipedia is finding several places where people wholly unconnected with the subject of the article have written at length about the subject, and been published in reliable sources.
If you can't find these, you'll know not to waste any more time on this article.
If you can find them, the next step is to forget everything that you know about the subject, and write a summary of what those sources say. ColinFine (talk) 14:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:18, 3 March 2024 review of submission by 78jjt5

[edit]

Why was my submission rejected? How can this be improved? 78jjt5 (talk) 08:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kinda wondering too, as state representatives meet WP:NPOLITICIAN. There are stylistic and sourcing issues; sources need to be in-line with the text they are supporting,(see Referencing for Beginners) and the style should reflect other articles about politicians, but I don't think this should have been outright rejected. TheBritinator, would you object to allowing this user to resubmit?
How did you come to take his picture on the floor of the Missouri House? 331dot (talk) 08:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely, it can be resubmitted. It looks like it's been improved since my review and would probably pass now. TheBritinator (talk) 11:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

09:12, 3 March 2024 review of submission by Katrynaaaz

[edit]

I've translated an article from the alreasdy existing page, but my article was declined due to the sources I added. But I used the sources used in the original article. I didn't add some of them just because they are already unavailable and it makes no sense to add them. What should I do? I don't even understand which exact information needs proofs. Katrynaaaz (talk) 09:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Katrynaaaz: each language version of Wikipedia is entirely separate with their own policies and requirements; what is acceptable on one version may not be acceptable on another (and AFAIK, the English-language one has probably the strictest requirements for notability, referencing, etc.). You need to either find new sources to support the currently unsupported content, or else remove it. Pretty much everything in this draft must be verifiable from reliable sources.
Also, you say you've translated an existing article (presumably from the Ukrainian Wikipedia?), but it seems you have not attributed the uk.wiki original as the source. This must be done before the draft can be accepted; see WP:HOWTRANS for instructions. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for you reply! I'd like to know whether the sources of translated article have to be the same language as a traslation? Just because I'm not sure if there are any in English. If I have Ukrainian sources it's okay? Katrynaaaz (talk) 10:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. English sources are preferred, if they exist and are of high quality; but if not, sources in other languages are acceptable. They still need to be reliably published, and most of them need to be independent of the subject. See WP:NONENG. ColinFine (talk) 14:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nayan222: and? This help desk is for asking questions about your draft as it undergoes the AfC review process, and nowhere in that do I see a question. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:36, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:44, 3 March 2024 review of submission by Nunchi.xl

[edit]

Although there is evidence of this foundation contributing to important studies on concussion, there are no independent articles that cover the foundation alone. Most articles cover the studies and refer to the foundation's support. The purpose of creating a Wikipedia entry is so that there is recognition for the foundation's financial support. Is there anything I can do here? It feels like a chicken and egg situation. Nunchi.xl (talk) 10:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No...articles are based on what reliable independent say, if there are no sources covering them in-depth then we don't have an article and "purpose of creating a Wikipedia entry is so that there is recognition for the foundation's financial support" is against Wikipedia guiedlines. Theroadislong (talk) 10:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that there is evidence from reliable independent articles to support everything I've written. Its just that none of these articles are only about the drake foundation, they are about the studies the drake foundation have funded and mention the drake foundation in them. Nunchi.xl (talk) 11:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would mean that the Foundation does not merit an article. You are in error when you say "The purpose of creating a Wikipedia entry is so that there is recognition for the foundation's financial support." Wikipedia's purpose is to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose to say about a topic. Wikipedia has no interest in publicizing the work of the Foundation, that's what its own website is for. Are you associated with the Foundation in some way? 331dot (talk) 11:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not associated with the foundation. Concussion from sport is something I have a strong opinion on and want to bring more awareness to. I have my own personal reasons for that. No-one has funded more research into it in the UK than drake foundation in the past few years. If Wikipedia's ethos prevents this from being a viable article then feel free to remove the draft. Nunchi.xl (talk) 06:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you are able to locate acceptable sources to summarize the draft can be restored later as a starting point. Wikipedia is not the place to raise awareness of any subject, that's what social media is for. 331dot (talk) 07:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unnecessary snarkiness on your part. Thanks for being so civil. Nunchi.xl (talk) 15:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for giving offense; it wasn't my intention to be snarky or uncivil, just being honest. 331dot (talk) 15:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Google searches on topics give Wikipedia results. Those Wikipedia articles inform and raise awareness. The article I've written has plenty of evidence to support most of what I've written, so it's not the same as a social media post, it's factual with independent references. All the funded studies have DOIs and are published as research articles. They are not tabloid articles. I fell at the last hurdle so I'll accept that and perhaps you constantly deal with questions that you see as silly, but there's no need to take that out on me. Nunchi.xl (talk) 16:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I offer my apologies for offending you. It wasn't my intention to take anything out on you, nor did I think your question was silly, I was just trying to give an honest answer. If you could see and hear me personally I think that would be easier to know. There is a difference between raising awareness as an effect of an article and being the purpose of an article. The purpose of Wikipedia articles is to summarize what independent reliable sources say about the topic. Anything else is a secondary benefit. I regret contributing to any bad feelings you have. 331dot (talk) 19:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:59, 3 March 2024 review of submission by Technobabylon

[edit]

Hello - My draft keeps getting declined. I have amended the article countless times to address the published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject points. I have even used exclusively references which are independent of the subject. What do I need to to do to resolve this please? The reviewer just keeps repeating the same generic comment which is extremely unhelpful. Technobabylon (talk) 10:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, you should address the claim of paid editing.
It's not clear how he is notable as Wikipedia defines it. You have summarized his work but not described what sources say is important/significant/influential about him. 331dot (talk) 11:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I want to create my own Wikipedia page. please let me know the process. Its urgent for me. kindly advice me . Jayanta Saha Politician (talk) 13:40, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's highly advised that you not attempt to write an article about yourself, please read WP:AUTO. 331dot (talk) 13:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17:39, 3 March 2024 review of submission by Rectitudo

[edit]

I'm attempting to get this published in Twin Cities drummer Kenny Horst and apparently can't find adequate sources as per the rejections. Can someone assist me with what they're looking for? Rectitudo (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Golden rule will tell you what we're looking for. If such sources don't exist, then I advise you not to spend any more time on this draft, as all further effort will be wasted. ColinFine (talk) 14:31, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
