04:13, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Farnoodex[edit]

Hi, I hope all is well. I created an article page titled "Farnoodex." I submitted it for review a couple of weeks ago. Would you mind taking a look at the draft page? If you need anything, please let me know. Thank you. Farnoodex (talk) 04:13, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP: AUTOBIO, it is strongly discouraged to write articles about yourself. This article will, more likely than not, be rejected by a reviewer. Applescapable (talk) 04:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

06:10, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Drsushmarajput[edit]

i am not able to submit my draft getting this error WikiProject classification tags Start typing to search for tags ... Adding the 1–4 most applicable WikiProjects is plenty. For example, if you add the Physics tag, you do not need to also add the Science tag. An error occurred (TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pages')). Please try again or refer to the help desk. Drsushmarajput (talk) 06:10, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Drsushmarajput: sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're asking? But I assume the draft you're referring to is  Courtesy link: Draft:Dr. Sushma Rajput? In which case, I can tell you there is little point in submitting that, as it is entirely unreferenced and very promotional. Please note that this is an encyclopaedia, not a place to tell the world about your exploits and achievements. (In any case, you shouldn't be writing about yourself, please see WP:AUTOBIO.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:17, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

09:18, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Driveslave[edit]

Hallo This draft page has not been accepted, but i do not understand why. I received a message saying there is no references tha can be verified, but if it is a new page the only references can be taken outside wikipedia. what should i do to see the page published? thx Driveslave (talk) 09:18, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Driveslave: you need to tell us where you got the information from, by citing your sources; see WP:REFB for advice.
What's more, those sources must meet the WP:GNG standard, to establish that the subject is notable, which is a core requirement for inclusion in Wikipedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Added to which, your draft is entirely promotional (yes, I understand that this festival was in the past, and is not currently active. But "promotion" has a wider meaning in Wikipedia). Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If such independent sources do not exist, then no article is possible. ColinFine (talk) 10:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:30, 18 August 2023 review of submission by 83.2.41.42[edit]

Hello, I would like to ask for assistance in submitting this Wikipedia article. It got rejected for a lack of reputable sources to back it, but as far as I can see, it does have a number of them included in current version and they seem to tick all these boxes: - in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) - reliable - secondary - independent of the subject At least 4 of the added sources match these criteria, (two in-depth reviews form GamingonLinux and 1 from PCMag, 1 from NAG) there are several non-english reviews added as well. How should I proceed, are we close? 83.2.41.42 (talk) 14:30, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non English language references are fine. Youtube is deprecated as a reference. You should work from good references instead of finding references to suit your text. Tailor your text to suit the good references you find. WP:42 is a shorthand good guide to references 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:16, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:09, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Incognitopublisher[edit]

Dear Reviewers,

I'm reaching out to discuss the recent article that received attention from prominent national news outlets like Times of India, NDTV, Aaj Tak, News18, Jagran, Times Now, Hindustan, and Zee News. However, a reviewer raised concerns about the reliability of these sources. I've noticed that various Indian articles have consistently referenced these news sources as reliable points of reference.

Could you kindly provide guidance on selecting credible independent sources? Additionally, if there's a list of reputable sources available, it would greatly aid my future research.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Incognitopublisher (talk) 16:09, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Times of India is generally unreliable, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for further help. Theroadislong (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

18:42, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Gsandler[edit]

I'm baffled by why this hasn't been approved yet. It is supported by published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject Please review and advise Gsandler (talk) 18:42, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]


The notability of Douglas Rigby is now well substantiated by reliable secondary sources. I don't understand why it has not been accepted yet?

"A person is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."

Gsandler (talk) 18:49, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gsandler As noted at the top of your draft, "This may take 4 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 4,343 pending submissions waiting for review." There is an extemely limited number of volunteers to conduct reviews of thousands of drafts; please be patient. 331dot (talk) 19:36, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19:04, 18 August 2023 review of submission by Addax00[edit]

I need help to add a reference to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8962748. This is the reference used on this article https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Hardest. The article I have created is just a translation of the same content. Addax00 (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Addax00: there is no point in referencing Wikidata, as that wouldn't be a valid source for anything. And I don't see any references in the es.wiki article. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
