07:41:47, 27 March 2019 review of submission by 2605:E000:214B:E700:B11E:E8CE:27FA:BFE4[edit]

@2605:E000:214B:E700:B11E:E8CE:27FA:BFE4: - as the comment of the reviewer says (next to yellow !), we have requirements for an artistic professional to be included including directors. Currently he (you?) do not satisfy these requirements. Future films additionally don't count until they've had a couple of reviews.
While it may well change in the future, the bar on notability has not been reached. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:54, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

this is our business and what i wrote is completely correct. so why rejected? Ziawccinowshera (talk) 08:28, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ziawccinowshera: - hi there. Several things mean this could not become an article.
Most obviously, organisations require multiple high quality secondary sources (newspapers, books etc) that cover them in-depth. As such, a government website doesn't count for demonstrating what Wikipedia calls notability.
We also write a neutral encyclopedia - so talking about "we" is definitely incorrect.
The fact that it is the business you work at means that you are currently violating our rules on Paid Editing. On your personal user page, you need to state that you are an employee/contractor /volunteer for the organisation and editing it for them. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:51, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

16:12:12, 27 March 2019 review of draft by GMontgomery2[edit]


I just submitted an article for review. This is an edit on an article I originally published as user: GEMToo In October of 2018. The article was moved to draft space with this note" Hi, I came across this article while reviewing new pages.The article had no citations and also looked like a personal essay. Please continue to work on the article in draft space and then submit it via Articles for creation". I was uncomfortable with some of the information available in the first edit of that article and did not want that available along with the user: GEMToo. This is why I have created a second account: GMontgomery2. The original draft of this article still exists in draft space and I request that it be updated with the current version I am submitting for review.

I would also like to include that I am acquainted with Don Binkowski. He was a colleague of my late father and a public official where I reside.

18:14:56, 27 March 2019 review of submission by Walkyo[edit]

I know the article is noteworthy, as it's the tallest building in the state. There are other articles like this (for example, the tallest building in Montana), but mine got declined for not being noteworthy enough. What can I do? Walkyo (talk) 18:14, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hi Walkyo Greetings. You need to read the grey panel message on top of the draft page as well as the comment from the review under the pink panel on the draft page. Pls click on the blue highlighted texts for further details. If you have further question AFTER you have read the mentioned, then pop back here. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 18:22, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I know. But it is noteable and has secondary source articles about it, I’ve cited a bunch in the article. The tallest building in Montana has an article, and only has sources on emporis. I have more than that, yet mine was denied. Walkyo (talk) 18:59, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Walkyo: The fact that an article about First Interstate Center exists doesn't mean it should exist. It might only mean that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
WP:GEOFEAT doesn't grant automatic notability to the tallest building in each U.S. state. You say "it is notable", but it's up to you to prove it by citing significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The reviewer's objection is that the coverage cited is not significant, it fails WP:SIGCOV. Find better sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the fact that there is an article for the tallest building in EVERY state except Wyoming, pretty sure WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies in this case. It sticks out like a big soar thumb on the page for tallest buildings in each state. Walkyo (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

18:45:09, 27 March 2019 review of submission by MagicLemonade18[edit]


I have a client who is very well known for the work they've created and yet the sources I've provided before were not viable. Their career began on YouTube and other social media sites which makes it a bit difficult to find articles that will verify the information i've typed up. However, I was able to find some other sites that may be able to validate the information. MagicLemonade18 (talk) 18:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck. I'm not volunteering here to help you earn a paycheck. Legacypac (talk) 21:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 19:19:49, 27 March 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jeffcoso[edit]


I am requesting assistance because I have submitted an article about the Jefferson County, AR sheriff. I have received a message stating that the article has been denied due to copyright. The information was obtained from the sheriff himself and I listed his campaign website in the reference as well as a local newspaper article that was submitted by the sheriff's office as well. What can I do in this situation?

Jeffcoso (talk) 19:19, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeffcoso: - citing a source isn't sufficient to avoid copyright issues. The issue is the duplication of text. Instead you need to paraphrase it for it to be permissible. Avoiding Plagiarism
While the Sheriff could probably alter the copyright of his website, that would mean anyone (including any political opponents) would also gain a license to use and amend it. In any case, it would be a complicated hoop to jump through and you'd still have to re-paraphrase the newspaper content. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

21:26:16, 27 March 2019 review of draft by Proximo-en[edit]


Hello, with all your signs ({[*$#:|, I dont succeed to put a simple reference, could you show me? Thank you.

Proximo-en (talk) 21:26, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Proximo-en. I've left a welcome basket of links on your talk page that you may find useful, particularly Help:Referencing for beginners. There are many acceptable ways of citing sources, so I'm reluctant to impose on the draft a citation style that may not make sense to you. But if after reviewing the help pages you're still having difficulty, let me know and I'll format one reference for you as an example. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:37, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

22:32:14, 27 March 2019 review of submission by 2604:2000:8247:DB00:C6B:569:55E9:E14A[edit]

This is the first time I have attempted to submit an article. I am trying to create an English entry for Dr. Montag, who has a page in the German Wikipedia. Dr. Montag does work for Siemens, but is also considered an expert in the expansion of digitalization into the medical industry. He oversees the creation and implementation of medical technology which has literally changed the way medicine is being practiced. As an industry leader he is invited to speak at medical conferences and consults with the EU in regards to digitization of medical records and the interoperability of the records systems.

As I said before, this is the first time I have attempted this. I apologize for the duplicate copy.

I suggest first learning how to edit Wikipedia, and editing from your account rather than logged out, for a while before trying to edit for your employer. Many of the volunteer editors have little patience with paid editors and also little patience with editors who don't try to learn how to edit correctly. You are trying to practice Wikipedia editing while developing a draft on which you have a conflict of interest. You won't get a friendly welcome that way.
