04:22:55, 18 October 2022 review of submission by Sharpieethesharpie[edit]


I realised that there is a prior draft written for Toy Factory Productions Ltd. As I have worked on to edit and publish, i see this. How can i create a new article that is not related to this writer?

07:35:34, 18 October 2022 review of draft by FreeSharedKnowledge[edit]


FreeSharedKnowledge (talk) 07:35, 18 October 2022 (UTC) I thought it would be useful to add on Wikipedia at least one essential information on the main scientific event concerning the international community that deals with diffraction from powders and polycrystalline materials. Also an example of spontaneous and transnational collaboration, and a topic that, in addition to experts, attracts the interest of many scientists and technologists. All of this is volunteer work. If it is made too difficult, frankly, it becomes impossible. Perhaps I would have expected a more benevolent attitude. Yes, of course, help is very welcome. But why not publish a first entry on EPDIC in this essential, even too laconic form? This makes it possible for others, perhaps more experienced, to intervene and make changes and additions more in line with your standards. Rejecting what I have proposed does not go in this direction[reply]

Discussion about this at User talk:FreeSharedKnowledge; the draft was a copyright violation and had no sources. The user has also been blocked for undeclared paid editing. --bonadea contributions talk 11:25, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the article I submitted was refused for "reading too much like an advertisement". I'm not sure how to amend this, as I tried to use as many references as possible that were not published by the company itself and to keep the tone factual and neutral. but it's my first attempt at writing an article so I'm grateful for any help! In terms of notability, I believe this is a company that has a remarkable product that will one day enable many people with paraplegia, quadriplegia and neurological diseases to live more normal lives.

Hi, I hope to get some assistance with this. I prepared a page for a band and it was rejected. The first issue I notice is that a prior reviewer for someone else's draft wrote that my draft had a high risk of bias and I feel like this influenced the reviewer which to me seems inappropriate. Second, the new reviewer rejected the article due to not having references of notoriety. I disagree with this as there is a reference to a full story published by Exclaim! Magazine, a national online and print Magazine here in Canada. There is a national online article by CBC. The reviewer indicates that there are only passing mentions of the band but again, this isn't true. The band won some major awards in Canada (East Coast Music Awards, 2 of them) and I feel as though based on articles and this information as well as charting in Canada, they easily should be published. Furthermore, the band has played with major rock acts including Eric Avery of Jane's Addiction, they have produced remixes for the band Berlin and have won awards for producing music for film soundtracks.

I am unsure why they are being left off and others are not. As an example, I looked to other acts from their location and there are many bands published on Wikipedia that have far less notability and references. One example would be Slowcoast a second would be Jimmy Swift Band and a third would be Tome Fun Occhestra. All three of these bands have full Wikipedia pages and not nearly the national and international notability. I think this deletion was in error and should be corrected yet I am unsure where to turn.

Thank you.

First, please read other stuff exists. The existence of other articles has no bearing on your draft, each draft or article is considered on its own merits. It could be that these other articles are also inappropriate and simply have not been addressed yet. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to get by us. We can only address what we know about. If you would like to help out, you are welcome to identify other inappropriate articles you have seen for possible action. We could use the help. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those classified as good articles, which have been vetted and evaluated by the community.
Quite frankly, yes, the fact that at least one band member attempted to create an article does influence what happens down the road, because we don't know what goes on off-wiki. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see the "Exclaim!" magazine or CBC sources you describe. 331dot (talk) 11:09, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

11:42:14, 18 October 2022 review of draft by Karlpaulo[edit]


Not sure how many more sources i need for this because this was instructed by Wen-Szu Lin himself to include. All of which are lifted from his book Deliver: the Untaught Lessons

Karlpaulo (talk) 11:42, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Karlpaulo: Lin (and you) may have misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles should be based on information published in reliable sources that are independent and secondary, and articles are not "owned" or controlled by people who are directly connected to the topic.
Have multiple sources that are wholly unconnected to Wen-Szu Lin discussed BSP? If not, it is unlikely that the concept is notable, as Wikipedia defines notability. A link to a sales website selling the book where the BSP concept was explained is not a source, and the other source in the draft doesn't appear to mention BSP at all. --bonadea contributions talk 15:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I want the sandbox back...i didnt mean to publish, so if i could have it back that would be cool. And i would gain respect for you, especially bc you said that my page was not important... I LoveHorror Movies ForLife (talk) 16:47, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You still have access to your sandbox, but its content is completely unsuitable for Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 17:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

18:54:37, 18 October 2022 review of submission by Hhuften[edit]


Hi - I have read your guidelines and I don't understand why Anthony Chase is not considered notable for inclusion. I admire his work, philanthropy and contribution to the community. Please let me know how I can continue to proceed. Thank you.

Hhuften (talk) 18:54, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hhuften The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. As noted by reviewers, he does not have the coverage needed to demonstrate that he meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a person and what they do. An article summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the person and their significance. 331dot (talk) 19:02, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

21:20:52, 18 October 2022 review of draft by SC Marketing LLC[edit]


Mr. Jaskani retired in 1995, therefore there are no sources available on him on the -internet, except the death announcement by the official Pakistan Boy Scouts Association page on Facebook.


SC Marketing LLC (talk) 21:20, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If there is not significant coverage of him in independent reliable sources, he would not merit a Wikipedia article. Facebook is not an acceptable source. If you just want to tell the world about him or memorialize him, I would suggest websites with less stringent requirements. 331dot (talk) 21:31, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We accept offline sources, if cited properly. This is a situation where we would expect there to be little-to-no online sources and would thus rely on whatever offline sources there are that discuss him. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 22:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
