Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

well, Am afraid I don't have references. I only made an article about this game because I played it and I deeply understand it. Can't you download it at Playstore and review it yourself maybe? If not then I have another question Am gonna make an article about my family, meaning about the history of the family etc. Should I also have references for that? Lindo Kabini (talk) 11:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Yes, everything needs references, meaning that everything we write in any article must be verifiable from reliable and independent published sources.

In fact, Wikipedia articles should only summarise what such sources have previously said. The way you write an article is you find a few such sources, summarise (in your own words) what they say, and cite those sources against the information they have provided. That gives you the article content, references, and proof of notability in one fell swoop. You may want to read this: WP:GOLDENRULE.

Also, you shouldn't be writing about yourself or your family in any case. And if you do write about anything that you have an external ('real life') relationship with, you need to make a conflict-of-interest (see WP:COI) disclosure first.

so I gotta find references for what I want to write about first before even writing it? This is confusing so I will stick to enjoying Wikipedia instead. I thought it was fun but meh. Lindo Kabini (talk) 12:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's the way it works. Because you're meant to only summarise existing sources, it inevitably follows that you have to first find those sources, before you can summarise them.

If you do decide to give it another go at some point, you may find this page a good starting point: WP:YFA. From there you can access an 'article wizard', which takes you through the whole process step-by-step.

So even if I do an article about myself. I gotta have references? How on Earth! Tell me, where do I get all these references. Gimme an example. Lindo Kabini (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
