01:56, 13 October 2024 review of submission by Bz public

[edit]

Hello, I have created this article with the help of reliable sources, if necessary, please improve it and I request you to publish it. Bz public (talk) 01:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bz public, what's required are references to significant coverage of Norz in reliable independent sources. Pitchfork and the Los Angeles Times and BBC Persian Television provide significant coverage of his client Googoosh, but only passing mentions of Norz. His own website is not independent and of no value in establishing notability. Unreferenced promotional content like Shahram Norz’s passion for music was evident from a young age violates the Neutral point of view, a core content policy. In conclusion, your draft fails to establish that Norz is notable. Cullen328 (talk) 02:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I am currently a student at Gimcheon High School in South Korea. I would like to upload information about our school to Wikipedia. However, I am asking you because it was rejected for various reasons, and I modified it based on this, but did not follow the purpose of Wikipedia. Can you tell me what is the problem? 211.224.23.251 (talk) 12:39, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that your school does not meet the definition of a notable organization that we have here. Schools do not merit articles just because they exist, and Wikipedia is not a place to just tell about something. You must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the school.
The Korean Wikipedia is different from this one, with its own editors and policies. If this draft would be acceptable there, you should write it there. 331dot (talk) 12:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I need some help with the sources, what references do I have that are necessary and aren't, I need some reliable, I just need help in general on how to improve this draft, if you can assist that would be amazing, please and thank you! Hectorvector27 17:11, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Asdf;jldsafdl. Unfortunately Geni, FindAGrave, and Ancestry are generally considered unreliable sources. See links for reasons why. miraheze.org cannot be used as it's editable by anyone. chateauversailles doesn't mention her.
Is she discussed in literature, journals, academic work, history books? Those sources would work better. Qcne (talk) 17:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
oh my golly gosh, thank you! Hectorvector27 17:39, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qcne, are the references I have now reliable? Hectorvector27 17:50, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
you've removed the unreliable sources, but now most of the draft is unsourced (unless you haven't published your most recent changes?). Readers need to be able to verify her date of birth, early life, death, etc.
The Literary Life and Correspondence of the Countess of Blessington doesn't seem to be significant coverage, just a mention. Usually we look for three solid sources that meet our golden rule: independent, reliable, and provide significant coverage.
Being a Countess she must would hopefully appear in books or journals from historians? Qcne (talk) 18:00, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Qcne I added some more references, I'm not quite done yet though. Hectorvector27 18:57, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20:31:33, 13 October 2024 review of submission by Antitransphobe

[edit]

Hi, I am a new Wikipedia editor. I would like to know whether the stub I wrote is good enough to be reviewed, especially as it is the first time I am ever creating an article from scratch. Antitransphobe (talk) 20:31, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Antitransphobe: I should warn you that this falls into a contentious topic where special rules and stricter enforcement applies (gender- and sexuality-based controversies, including LGBTQIA+ matters). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I didn't knew about it. If I understand the page correctly, does it mean that should I be more careful when editing such articles and take more attention to comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines as the yellow box on page says it? Antitransphobe (talk) 16:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Antitransphobe: Correct. It's also a very bad idea to cut one's teeth in a contentious topic area, since that designation won't even be considered unless there's been an extensive history of incivility, aggressive partisan editing, and edit-warring that a new editor should not be expected to have to deal with. I'd take Colin's advice below and maybe edit in a somewhat related topic area that isn't in the contentious topic (UK politics/culture, at a glance?). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:20, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. ColinFine (talk) 11:52, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most of this work has been done by more experienced Wikipedians, so that I see what things I have done wrong. I'll try to gain more experience, because I'm not that good at creating even stubs. Antitransphobe (talk) 14:59, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

21:33, 13 October 2024 review of submission by TaleOfHeroes

[edit]

The article was declined for notability issues; however, there are other professors listed at the University of Illinois that were accepted with sparser content:

- Yuguo Chen

- Dirk Eddelbuettel

- Bo Li (statistician)

What would be the correct way to address notability concern? TaleOfHeroes (talk) 21:33, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TaleOfHeroes Please see other stuff exists. That another article exists does not mean that it was "accepted" by anyone. There are many ways for inappropriate articles to exist, this cannot justify the addition of more inappropriate articles. This is why each article or draft is judged on their own merits. Please see WP:NACADEMIC, you need to show he meets at least one of the criteria. 331dot (talk) 21:40, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When linking to another Wikipedia article or page, the whole url is unnecessary. 331dot (talk) 21:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
