November 9[edit]

08:37:35, 9 November 2018 review of submission by Yousafsaeed1990[edit]


I am requesting re-consideration because this topic is not contrary to wikipedia. It is because most of the people are searching this keyword on wikipedia and there is no information about such a big company on wikipedia already. It is a big name in Asian Scholarships companys and i think its inclusion in wikipedia will be accepted. Yousafsaeed1990 (talk) 08:37, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wikipedia is not a platform to improve your search engine results. Hence no. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 12:38, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

09:31:57, 9 November 2018 review of submission by Erogzi[edit]

I'd like to understand better why it was rejected so that I can improve it. Erogzi (talk) 09:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They are asking for more reliable sources coming from high quality websites. I found some and put them in place.81.153.208.126 (talk) 10:34, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I can see you added a link but also fixed a link? What link was that? Are there sources there that are considered 'unreliable'? And can you explain why his photo was removed? Erogzi (talk) 12:08, 9 November 2018 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Erogzi (talk • contribs) 11:37, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many sources are considered unreliable or not independent, notably amazon.com, any blog, the subjects own website. For more information read WP:RS. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 12:41, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks, yes I understand. But the amazon, blog and own website links are under 'external links' not 'references' - so that's ok, right? I am working on more text and links for the main bio. Can you also explain why the photo was removed - it had the necessary permission from the photographer. Do I also need to link to the photographer's website? Erogzi (talk) 14:07, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo permissions are dealt with a Commons. At AfC we generally don't worry about photos. Legacypac (talk) 14:11, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a general rule I discourage external links because nothing says "advertising problem" more than lists of ecommerce platforms. External links are allowed, not required. I tend to consider them more as a further reading type section, consider if the reader really wants the links. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. So why did the first editor in this thread today add a link to Amazon? And they added various other links. Erogzi (talk) 17:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

15:17:24, 9 November 2018 review of draft by Curnews[edit]

Would like to check my draft before re-submission. Curnews (talk) 15:17, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article just looks like part of India_national_football_team#Players. No lead, no prose, only two references. I would not approve it. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 15:20, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

17:35:49, 9 November 2018 review of draft by Maungst[edit]


Hi, can you please give me more specific information on why this article was rejected?

Maungst (talk) 17:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It looks exactly like what one might write up on a website advertising Youth America Grand Prix. Legacypac (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

19:40:51, 9 November 2018 review of draft by Aniblab7[edit]


I cannot send my article for review! The following appears: This user has made a public declaration indicating that they have a conflict of interest with regard to the following Wikipedia article(s): Florian Graf (Artist). How can I proceed?

Aniblab7 (talk) 19:40, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Edit the page and put {{subst:submit}} on it, with the brackets exactly like that. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:57:10, 9 November 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Wikijames1[edit]


I redid my item. But I'm not sure if this is ok. I don't want to resubmit it again and waste the time of the reviewer. I need someone to look it over. The revision is in my sandbox. (I did not understand about the Draft.)

Wikijames1 (talk) 20:57, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is what Wikipedia needs. There is already an article on Prime numbers. A table of the numbers themselves is not an article. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 21:18, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

23:09:17, 9 November 2018 review of draft by Cotidianus[edit]


1. I seemingly do not have the right "permission" to upload a photograph to this draft Wikipedia page. Nothing tells me how to obtain that permission however. Please would you explain?

2. I cannot see how to indent text - only how to create a bulleted or numbered list. It must be possible...

Many thanks

Cotidianus (talk) 23:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • You take the photo yourself and then have permission as the owner. If you want to use a photo you didn't take yourself, you have to find the owner of the photo and ask them to upload the photo. Photos are owned by the photographer unless they sell their copyright, which is not the same as selling a physical or digital copy of a photo, which does not come with it's copyright that the original photographer keeps.
You do not indent text in articles, to indent text as I am here;
Use colons at the beginning of a new line.
If you need any more help feel free to ask. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 23:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
