05:51:04, 1 April 2017 review of submission by Aheisk[edit]


Aheisk (talk) 05:51, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I'm not a skilled editor and I don't understand how to prepare the entry for successful submission. I notice that there are many entries in Wikipedia about individuals that are not as prominent as Professor Lloyd so I believe his entry should be included.

Thank you for your help.

Hello, Aheisk. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. A good first step in preparing your draft would be working through our WP:Tutorial. Doing this will introduce you to the various techniques that are used when crafting an article here on Wikipedia. And as you work through the various steps in the Tutorial, it might also be helpful to see how each technique is used in one of our better articles on political economists, such as the one on Harold Innis. Eventually, you should be able to revise your draft so that it has the same structure and general appearance as the Innis article. But before doing all that, you might want to satisfy yourself that your subject will merit an article on Wikipedia. It may well be true that there are articles about people who are less prominent than your subject, but that might simply reflect the fact that, with more than five million user-generated articles on Wikipedia, there are some articles that exist even though they shouldn't. In your case, you should be prepared to demonstrate, by reference to reliable independent sources, that your subject meets at least one of the criteria set forth in WP:NACADEMIC. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 06:21, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Please make me an autoconfirned author as I satisfy requirements

Andrea Montefiorino (talk) 10:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Andrea. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. A request for an upgrade in your user status should be made at WP:Requests for permissions. Your particular type of request would be filed under the "Confirmed" section. NewYorkActuary (talk) 10:46, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikipedia Experts

I woulded like to someone to review my draft because I proposed it over a week ago and until now someone hasn't reviewed my draft so could please someone review my article?

Thanks for your time

Wrestlingloveditor (talk) 11:27, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wrestlinglove. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Right now, we are extremely backlogged and there are about 600 submissions ahead of yours in the queue. I expect that it will take about three more weeks until your submission is reviewed. Thank you for your patience. NewYorkActuary (talk) 11:35, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

14:29:35, 1 April 2017 review of submission by Davine90034[edit]


http://www.billboard.com/artist/7514564/justin-johnson/chart this clearly shows that the artist did indeed have an album which charted on the Billboard Music charts which is the requirement for a wikipedia page is one of the requirements which i listed as a source so I don't know why this guy said no notable sources when Billboard magazine is the notable source

@Davine90034: Hello, Davine. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. In fairness to the reviewer who looked at your submission, you stated (in your draft) that the subject's album charted on the Billboard 200 list, when in fact it did not -- it charted only on its New Age list. There is some disagreement here on Wikipedia as to whether charting on a genre-specific list meets the standards set forth in WP:MUSICBIO. Also, your submission contains numerous factual errors in its tables, including the assertion that a person born in 1979 was an Associate Producer for a film starring Laurel and Hardy. Frankly, even if we were to accept the New-Age chart placement as a demonstration of notability, your submission would still have been declined for its numerous inaccuracies. And finally, I note that your user name suggests a relationship with the record label that issues the subject's recordings. If you have not already done so, you should read our guidelines on conflict of interest. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 07:23, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

15:07:04, 1 April 2017 review of submission by 163.1.169.93[edit]

A page for this academic already exists in German Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Bowie), indeed with less references than those I have given. So I wonder whether different criteria apply for posting from different countries? Secondly: Especially JSTOR and L'Anne Philologique, that I have used, they are most reliable sources in the field of Classics. I have also cited WorldCat and a lot of reviews for his books and articles, which is an acceptable evidence according to WP:PROF. As for citation metrics, figures by google scholar or Scopus are poor for all Classicists, by default. Therefore, what else do I need to bring as evidence for this person's academic notability (under Criterion 1) from independent sources (for a person who already has a page on Wikipedia)? Thanks a lot :) 163.1.169.93 (talk) 15:07, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by the community of editors who contribute there. So an article may satisfy the rules for the German Wikipedia but not the English one, or vice versa. The good news is that if an article satisfies one set of rules, it can often be improved to satisfy another set of rules with a small amount of work. I've left a detailed comment on the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

15:51:50, 1 April 2017 review of submission by StLGS[edit]


I have just created a new page for submission for the St. Louis Genealogical Society. I now want to add three images to the page: (1) The StLGS Logo to the RIGHT of the opening sentence. (2) and (3) Two photos next to each other in between the two paragraphs under "Overview." I have created a two-columns table to do this. (Is that the best way to get them side-by-side?)

I am having difficulty figuring out how to upload these images from my computer to Wikipedia. Once uploaded I need to get them into the right places on the page.

Thanks in advance for your help. Ted Steele for StLGS (Ted.Steele@stlgs.org)
