03:30:28, 24 May 2019 review of draft by IronDerBear414[edit]


IronDerBear414 (talk) 03:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I created an article for a successful a cappella group from Ann Arbor, MI, called Skyline Blues. They are very successful and have been the subject of multiple news articles from valid organizations at the district, city, and state levels, as well as national a cappella newsfeeds. They have been featured on regional television and competed at national-level competitions, all of which are cited. I am confused because there are many a cappella and other musical groups whose articles have been accepted which have not achieved similar levels of success or recognition.

Organizations that have published articles, listings, or broadcasts featuring Skyline Blues include: - AAPS District News, the Ann Arbor Public Schools newsfeed - WeLoveAnnArbor, a local news publication from Ann Arbor, Michigan - MLive, a statewide Michigan news organization - WDET Channel 7, regional television programming based in Detroit - FloVoice, a national a cappella news publication affiliated with FloSports, Inc. - Varsity Vocals, the parent organization that oversees the ICHSA, the ICCA, and the Aca-Open - Acaville Radio, an Oregon-based radio station specializing in a cappella music and commentary

I feel like this is a fairly credible group of publications and I would like to know why my submission was declined.

Hi IronDerBear414. The draft has been declined three times in a row because you are not using inline citations. For example, the draft states, "Skyline Blues often establishes a theme that can be seen throughout their ICHSA competition sets." Which of the 54 general references says that? --Worldbruce (talk) 06:46, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is helpful thank you

I have made changes based on the feedback. I would appreciate it if you can review this piece and decide if it's worthy of publication.

Many thanks

@Dolphin Scholar: - two notes.
Usually if you've had to improve an article post a decline/rejection then you need to resubmit it (in the case of a rejection we can help with that) - we can't do immediate re-reviews, which are mainly limited to checking a previous reviewer was correct
In your case, your sources still don't actually discuss Awards International itself in enough detail. Being referenced or used as a source about other companies is not enough. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:17, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Terrence Dewar: - as the reviewer said, this reads like an advert, instead of a neutral encyclopedic article. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:23, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I created an info page for the first time - and got rejected It's under the Fabien Lainé name - could you please provide me help or explanation?

@Creativefabien: - the easiest way to get specific feedback on a review is to go to the reviewer's talk page (User talk:Theroadislong). However, I'll have a go in it in anycase,
The draft (which is presumably about you) is very advertorial, reading somewhere between a CV and an advert. Wikipedia requires neutrally written encyclopedic content. If you do have a connection (or are) the individual, please don't write about them - this is a clear demonstration of how a connection makes it hard to write neutrally.

Hello, We have submitted an article on behalf of one of our clients but have noted the conflict of interest. It was still flagged. What more do we need to do to make sure that the conflict of interest is noted.

Thank you!

MintentDS Greetings. You need to disclosure your WP:PAID WP:COI on your user page and the article talk page. Pls follow the instructions as per links provided. Wikipedia is strongly discourage editor with COI to edit/create affected article as editor would find it is hard at times to write the content in neutral point of view without any WP:PROMOTION or WP:PUFF manner. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:43, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
