05:51:52, 13 June 2019 review of draft by 117.240.248.50[edit]


117.240.248.50 (talk) 05:51, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

My wiki article got rejected with the reason 'do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject'.

But the 4 references I have listed are all independent sources and carry necessary information about the subject.

The first reference is from an article in Tugboat which is a journal published by TeX users group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUGboat).

The second is another article that has been published in https://www.linuxtoday.com/.

The third reference is a detailed interview of the subject that has been featured in January 2008 issue of TUG India by the TeX users group. (TeX users group is a community that is mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX).

The fourth is again an article from tug.org that has been retrieved from the internet archive.

Based on these references, the article that has been submitted is true to the facts.

So, I need some clarification on whether it is the way the references has been included that has resulted in the rejection.

Considering the case, I request you to kindly look into the matter and provide your recommendations so that I can get my article published at the earliest.

Hello,

as the revision of this article takes much longer than expected, I would like to ask if it is possible to do changes to this article while it is being reviewed? I dont want to do changes and then need to wait longer. Or is it easier to do improvements after the article is approved?

Thank you for your help!

Kind Regards

Hi Sophiaforgiz. Yes, you may continue to improve the draft while you wait for it to be reviewed. It doesn't cite any arms length sources, only the initiative and one of its partners. Wikipedia isn't much interested in what the initiative and its partners BMZ, GIZ, etc. say about the initiative. The bulk of any draft should be based on independent sources (think Süddeutsche Zeitung, academics writing in books and journals, and so on). It will not be accepted unless that is corrected. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:19, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ZHu 15:30, 13 June 2019 (UTC) We have a number of peer-reviewed publications on this work (Animal QTLdb) on well-known scientific journals like Nucleic Acids Research by Oxford Academic publisher. Its developments has lasted over 17 years with federal funding (thus our works are in public domain). Would this be counted as "reliable" source? __Zhiliang — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhilianghu60 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zhilianghu60. Reliable, yes. Independent, no. Secondary, probably not. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How many references do i need to prove that a species exists and what are the best references for this?

AustinRedd007 (talk) 16:03, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AustinRedd007. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of the topic. Scholarly sources (books from academic publishers, and peer reviewed journals) would be best, see WP:SOURCETYPES. Good examples of these types of sources can be found in the references for Cowpea and Tephrosia apollinea. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your swift response — Preceding unsigned comment added by AustinRedd007 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
