Johngosoeya3d (talk) 00:32, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Johngosoeya3d: Per WP:AUTO autobiographies are not allowed. Your submission has no sources. Your submission is in broken English, so you might be better off editing in Burmese-language Wikipedia. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:50, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

01:57:16, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Angelvgirl99[edit]


Angelvgirl99 (talk) 01:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC) i am trying to find out why my wikipage was declined i put nothing but the truth in it and wanted to let others know about a great writer u can look her up on line and learn a little about her if youd like to i think that it would help get her noticed if i did set the page up[reply]

 Done Did you read the big pink boxes at top of Draft:Anne Marie Davidson, and the two hand-typed comments below those? If you read those, they very clearly explain why the draft was declined, and what you would have to do to fix that. MatthewVanitas (talk) 03:01, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

05:58:18, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Whitepimpin[edit]

Kief Brown is a grammy nominated song writer who is significant in the music industry. He is signed to a major label Atlantic Records, and to a major producer Kane Beatz. He sang and wrote the hook for "The Show Goes On" by Lupe Fiasco which went on to sell over 3 million copies in the United States alone. I do not know if the reviewer understands the music industry or business. Also keep in mind that Kief Browns real name is Jonathan Brown and he appears on several Wikipedia pages. This fact alone should make him relevant and would provide a link to the pages that already list him as a song writer. I have seen several pages on Wikipedia for producers and writers who do not have 1 major credit to thier names. I even wrote one. Please reference Cyber Sapp. He did one song for Gucci Mane " Freaky Gurl" and it charted 64 on billboard. He has no other significant credits. Kief Brown has a song writing credit on a song that charted in the top ten on Billboard and is verified triple platinum by the RIAA. I understand that my draft needs work, but I disagree with the editor saying that he is not relevant. Also one of the sources listed in the article is from BMI, which if the editor understood the music business he would know that BMI is the largest music rights organization in the U.S. The fact that BMI did an article on him points to the fact that he is relevant to the music business. Whitepimpin (talk) 05:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The draft in question is at Draft:Kief Brown. No editor has said that the person is not relevant. Incidentally, the BMI source you mention is not an independent source because Brown works for, or is promoted by, BMI. In addition, your draft claims that Kief Brown and "JR Get Money" are one and the same person, but the BMI source suggests this is not the case. This uncertainty will need to be resolved.

My Article submission has been rejected twice and the raised issues has been resolved to the best of my ability. I have submitted it for a 3rd review by I need help from anyone that can edit it and make any further corrections they think that's necessary. All contributions are welcomed and appreaciated. Thanks for your helpMicrobilo (talk) 06:10, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The issue, although this has not been properly highlighted in previous reviews, is Smith's dubious notability. I have examined all 22 references listed in the draft and the only secondary source that lends him any significant coverage is the Poker-Nave source. All the others are either online picture collections in webzines and blogs, stuff he's published himself, his own website, agents websites and profile sites, or passing mentions of his name/photograph. In order to be eligible to have a Wikipedia article models must meet the criteria at WP:NMODEL or WP:ANYBIO. It seems you have tried to satisfy the previous reviews requests for better sources by increasing the number of sources with little thought to the quality of them. It probably should have been explained to you that what is needed is a smaller number of high quality independent sources, not a large number of trivial ones, that are closely connected with the subject. If such sources can't be found, you're probably wasting your time. Bellerophon talk to me 10:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the link in the message you received. The draft you were working on can be found at: Draft:Mermaid County Wicklow Arts Centre. Goto that page and click the 'edit' tab at the top of that page to make changes. Bellerophon talk to me 10:55, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can answer your question right here. You need references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. "substantial sources" must be more than mere notices of events being held there. Local newspaper accounts are not always free from influence by press releases, so local centers like this can be difficult to write articles about. I see there is already mention of the center in the County Wicklow article, so since the center has a distinctive name, what I suggest for now is a redirect to the section there, and I've just made one for yo, and also one for the alternate form, Mermaid, County Wicklow Arts Centre (I've also edited that section of the County article to remove some adjectives of praise, which we avoid at WP.).

12:18:00, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Global uty[edit]


This article has a lot of values and a good addition to Wikipedia database. This article is about one of the well-established university in the United Arab Emirates, which is Murdoch University Dubai. The university is unique in its program offering related to the Media/business industry with a very well established start of art media and campus infrastructure facility. As a student I have experienced the hands of learning experience with the great studio facility which contributed my success to find my current position as a Multimedia Engineer in one of biggest television channel. I believe wiki should list such kind of educational institutions for the best interest of the parents and students who is looking out for media/business education with in Middle East & Africa’sn region. I am sure that inclusion of the said article would help many stake holders.

Global uty (talk) 12:18, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but for that to happen you would need to write the article neutrally, like an encyclopedia article, not promotionally, like an advertisement. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

12:54:16, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Philip Jones 1933-2008[edit]


Hi, I just tried to re-submit my article after someone got back to me said there was not enough referencing - I have edited it now ...how can I tell it it has been re-submitted properly?

Thank you

Louisa

Philip Jones 1933-2008 (talk) 12:54, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was deleted for introducing copyrighted material. See WP:CV and possibly WP:DCM. Bellerophon talk to me 14:36, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

13:34:45, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Jaa.office[edit]

Request for information on why submission was declined. Kindly provide direction on making the needed changes. Jaa.office (talk) 13:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaa.office: The article reads like a resume. Per our WP:BLP policy, all material needs to be sourced and the current version has a lot of unsourced content. Plus, more independent third party sources would help show notability. --NeilN talk to me 16:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14:09:58, 9 June 2014 review of submission by IvaInc[edit]

Hi all, This is the first article I want to post. Here's the deal, I'm working for travel agency. We've noticed that there's no travel terminology ralated to some things. So, I told them to write about all hotel room types as a test and then to figure out some other articles as well, then that we'll put it on our website + quote it on Wikipedia. We want to quote whole article from our website that we wrote. I don't know how to provide proof that author of the article wants to put his article on Wikipedia and how to quote it properly. Thank you :)

Iva IvaInc (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The guidelines for providing proof of ownership for copyrighted material can be found at WP:DCM. However, from the sounds of things you want to copy your website onto Wikipedia. Presumably, to increase your web presence. This is not what Wikipedia is for. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Please do not do what you are suggesting. Bellerophon talk to me 16:25, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@IvaInc: Please also read WP:REFSPAM. --NeilN talk to me 16:26, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Bellerophon:If I wanted just to simply increase our presence, I could have just written an article about that travel agency, right? But I didn't do that. We wanted to give some explanantions regarding terminology since there's not a lot of information on Wikipedia. Plus it's good to be on our website also so people could read and learn. We do not want to harm anyone nor do we want to break any rules. There's no need for your hostile tone. We just wanted to give something back to the community and share our knowledge. Peace ;)IvaInc talk to me 09:28, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

15:38:58, June 9, 2014 request for review by CMW4903[edit]

I submitted a biography of Marcel Paula Carmen Houston at the end of May. I was rejected because I did not have the correct citations to newspaper articles footnoted. I did not then and still do not have the correct information for the citations such as volume and page numbers. Therefore, I removed all mention of the newspaper articles and re-submitted the biography. I was rejected again, but this time I could not find a reason for the rejection. Why was the article rejected ? What do I need to do to get this accepted? CMW4903 (talk) 15:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]



I think the reason it was rejected a second time is because I did not have a link to the re-submitted draft. Is that right? How do I add this link to the draft and re-submit it? CMW4903 (talk) 16:03, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@CMW4903: Resubmission won't help if you don't fix the problem indicated at the top of the draft: "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you." Content needs to be cited using reliable sources. There's no way around that. --NeilN talk to me 16:13, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

16:28:49, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Maria.Rento IESF[edit]


Maria.Rento IESF (talk) 16:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Can you please tell me why my article "Abel Laureano" has enought notabily? Sincerely I don't understand. Can you tell me what else I must include in my article for its acceptance? Thanks a lot. Maria RentoMaria.Rento IESF (talk) 16:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Maria.Rento IESF: The previous reviewers left plenty of reasons why this submission won't be accepted and you would do well to read them. To simplify what they've already said:
  1. Laureano is a professor but he fails WP:ACADEMIC.
  2. You don't support the article with reliable sources. (WP:RS)
  3. Of the sources you have listed (like University of Porto), none appear to be independent. (WP:42).
  4. There isn't any news coverage to make Laureano generally notable. (WP:GNG).
Presumably you work for the Instituto de Estudos Superiores Financeiros e Fiscais and aren't here as an objective contributor. (WP:NOTHERE) Wikipedia is not here to advertise (WP:NOTADVERTISING) so I'd recommend you visit the reward board to find a Wikipedian to help you.

17:29:23, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Microbilo[edit]


Microbilo (talk) 17:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC) My Article submission has been rejected three times and the raised issues has been raised has been resolved to the best of my ability. I haven't submitted it for a 4th review. So, I need help from anyone that can edit the entire draft and include only verifiable sources and make any further corrections they think that's necessary. I grant anyone who's knowledgeable of the system to give it a beneficial edit and proper moderations. All contributions are welcomed and appreaciated. Thanks for your help Microbilo (talk) 17:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Microbilo: Try the reward board. Another Wikipedian might be able to help you complete this. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Or, he could have read the response I directed him to here. Bellerophon talk to me 17:56, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I will confirm what Bellerophon says--it is doubtful whether than can be an article until the subject has become substantially more notable, with good sources to prove it. I'd wait till then. There's no point in trying to get people to help with an article when it won't be successful. And there are plenty of people here who will help anyone work on an article that really looks promising, without any specific reqward other than knowing we've helped a person and helped WP, DGG ( talk ) 00:17, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

20:49:34, 9 June 2014 review of submission by Sylviahaidar[edit]


Sylviahaidar (talk) 20:49, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the article is in my sandbox and is not intended for release. I was just practicing and hoping you can help me with the article layout!!!!

Hello Sylvia, if you're not ready for Submission, please make sure you don't hit any "Submit draft" button on the page, just the "save page" button when editing. I suggest you read WP:Writing your first article for starters, and if you have questions about starting out, ask at WP:Teahouse. After you have a submission ready and submit, at that stage we can help you here at AFC Helpdesk. Thanks for checking in! MatthewVanitas (talk) 03:02, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
