01:35:15, 13 November 2017 review of submission by Handfield123[edit]

I am being asked to provide reliable sources for the Yummy Devils page. This is a band that had a short duration from 1983-1986. It was not covered in the press, but had a strong influence on the local rock ecosystem. The only sources are really the people who saw the band play. There are also recordings, available on the page https://archive.org/details/iuma-yummy_devils

What is the best way to address this issue?

@Handfield123: Your submission (User:Handfield123/sandbox/The Yummy Devils (edit | [[Talk:User:Handfield123/sandbox/The Yummy Devils|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)) must meet our notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. In this case, the applicable notability criteria is described at WP:NMUSIC. The situation you describe can possibly be accommodated in point 7 there. You'd have to make that case in your draft and you'd have to back that up with WP:RELIABLE sources. For example if you found an interview in Rolling Stone of Bruce Springsteen in talking about the impact The Yummy Devils had on him, you'd be halfway there. Establishing notability requires satisfying the WP:GOLDENRULE so you'd need to find more than one such source. This looks like it will be difficult. ~Kvng (talk) 15:48, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I come to Know Copyright items which i included from Bijapur station and now i have removed that and done some changes and resubmitted the article may i know how much time it takes to review for second Edited Submission? Irshad1289 (talk) 07:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Irshad1289: We have a backlog of submissions waiting to be reviewed. Currently it is taking on average over a month for a submission to be reviewed. However, we don't review submissions in strict first-in-first-out order so your wait could be significantly shorter or somewhat longer. Thanks for improving your draft and thanks for your patience. ~Kvng (talk) 15:38, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

07:41:30, 13 November 2017 review of submission by Rayzhang123[edit]


Is there anyone can help me find others sufficient content to require an article

@Rayzhang123: The sources look quite acceptable. It is also quite acceptable to create WP:STUB articles here. I have resubmitted and accepted the draft. Congratulations! ~Kvng (talk) 15:33, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:37:14, 13 November 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Erwin Lackner[edit]


My article has been declined twice due to it's informal tone and peacock terms. I have made it as neutral and formal as possible, and need assistance with which part I am writing incorrectly. This is my first Wikipedia article attempt and I am very new to this. I have included as many reliable sources as possible. What does it mean to write it in a more encyclopedic format?


Erwin Lackner (talk) 12:37, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Erwin Lackner: We see a lot of WP:PROMOTIONAL content submitted to Wikipedia and so many reviewers are very sensitive to this. You can improve your draft by reworking it to describe the style itself with less emphasis on the people who created the style. Right now the article is written from the perspective of the creators which might lead one to suspect that the article itself was created by one of these people which would be a conflict of interest, which is another issue reviewers here are sensitive to. ~Kvng (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 13:10:41, 13 November 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Erwin Lackner[edit]


I can't seem to find any wikipedia policies on whether I can use references that are in another language. For example, this article is about something that originated in Germany. Most of the references that are online are in German. Is it required to use references that are only in English?

Erwin Lackner (talk) 13:10, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erwin Lackner sources can be in any language, if good English sources are not available - see WP:NOENG. Sources also do not need to be online - see WP:OFFLINE. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:00, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

13:31:17, 13 November 2017 review of submission by Bruschi12[edit]


Hi. I have just submitted a page for review. However the main title of the page has a minor spelling error. could the "L" in "club" be changed to a lower case. Thanks.

Bruschi12 (talk) 13:31, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruschi12: I took care of that for you. You can do these adjustments yourself in the future, see WP:MOVE. ~Kvng (talk) 15:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kvng: thanks for that!
