17:03:43, 9 May 2022 review of draft by Marthature[edit]


Hello - I am having problems in formatting the draft of my article about musician Bobby Black. 1. In trying to use the Named References tab, I found that only some, not all, of my named references appear in the dropdown menu of named references. The result is that I must insert some of the references in the article several times. I don't know how to fix this. 2. When I look at the preview of the article, I see that the text a reader would see includes the url's of some citations, rather than seeing a live link. Example: "...Bobby received a six-string Rickenbacker http://www.rickenbacker.com/model_all.asp?series=all steel guitar and amplifier." I don't know how to fix this. 3. When I look at the preview of the article, I see that in some places the formatting of the headings and paragraphs are erratic as well as showing the URL's instead of live links. Example: "In 1947, the family moved to San Mateo, California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Mateo,_California . In 1948, on his 14th birthday, Bobby received a six-string Rickenbacker" I don't know how to fix this. I would very much like to get this article in proper form and out in the world. I thank you in advance for your help.Marthature (talk) 17:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC) Marthature (talk) 17:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. If I'm understanding your question correctly, I think it would be easier if you switched to visual editor, it allows for a more intuitive citation process where you can copy and paste citations and reuse them.
  2. Please read point 2 under WP:ELPOINTS, I don't think what you are saying would be allowed under that policy
  3. The edits that you are mentioning appear to have been reverted, although I think it would be easier if you switched to visual editor (as mentioned before)
Hopefully I answered your questions @Marthature, if you need clarification, feel free to reply here but (please use {{reply to|Justiyaya}} on reply), happy editing! Justiyaya 08:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Justiyaya,@Justiyaya: @Justiyaya:
I'm looking at the Editing draft page and to my surprise it is no longer what it was when I put it up yesterday. It has been significantly changed. This means I will have to restore the draft on which I was working and hope that it is not changed again.
1. I will try to switch to visual editor, thank you.
2. I have just been reading point 2 under WP:ELPOINTS, "With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article..." I will go through the draft and see if this makes it work. Thank you. Marthature (talk) 11:45, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Marthature Please do not restore the previous version, it was not an improvement from the version right now. Please skim through WP:BLP and WP:V, the previous version significantly lacked references. It is best that you do not add external links your self, if they are appropriate, someone else will after publishing. Justiyaya 11:53, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again -I am quite confused. I have read Lopifalko's "Latest revision as of 18:32, 9 May 2022
(Restored revision 1083366561 by Lopifalko (talk): Not an improvement)" It is not clear to me what "Restored revision 1083366561" means. Which is the previous version which you ask me to not restore? Is "previous version" "Restored revision 1083366561" or does it mean my Revision as of 16:17, 9 May 2022 which Lopifalko stated is not an improvement? Is it the case that Lopifalko's version of the piece is publishable? Thank you kindly for your assistance, Justiyaya. Marthature (talk) 14:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, Justiyaya,
I see that someone with the handle "Lopifalko" substantially changed my draft, with the comment "Not an improvement." This is not a helpful comment. It's not clear to me what I can do. The edit created by Lopifalko removes the photograph, removes the full birthdate and substitutes just the year of birth, removes the distinction between the birth name and the common name, and removes a great deal of text. I could really use some guidance other than "Not an improvement." Thank you. {{reply to|Justiyaya}} Marthature (talk) 12:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

19:04:33, 9 May 2022 review of draft by Eugenioceri[edit]


Hello, the submission has been refused, I have put 10 different references, some of them were entire articles written about the station and things we have been broadcasting, not sure what could be better? Those are not passing mentions, some of those are entire articles done based on guests and interviews the station has done? Can you please help me with some more clear indication? I don’t think a radio station would have much more coverage from media than that

Eugenioceri (talk) 19:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Eugenioceri, here's my analysis of the sources in the article
  1. Questionable reliability/independence, article reads really like an ad, see [1]
  2. Passing mention
  3. Same as 1
  4. Passing mention
  5. Passing mention
  6. Passing mention
  7. Looks good skimming through the website, no significant issues at a glance
  8. Mostly passing mention
  9. Passing mention
  10. Passing mention
At best, the article contains 2 sources that provide significant coverage to the subject. If you want an easy accept, add at least 2-3 more reliable sources that give significant coverage and significantly trim the article where it contains original research. If you want clarification, please contact me on my talk page or reply on this thread and ping me. Justiyaya 08:10, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For Distler, Tomoharu Ushida provided the day's "most pleasant surprise", giving a "masterclass in horizontal clarity and the spacing of notes in time". (Gramophone) from Wikipedia page about XVIII Chopin Competition. I want to add the sentence above to my draft. Shalom777br (talk) 14:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to know how to improve my draft to be published as a official Wikipedia page. Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tomoharu_Ushida Shalom777br (talk) 19:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

pinging @Ts12rAc: who reviewed the linked draft Justiyaya 08:24, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you want to creat new article about Tomoharu Ushida, a Japanese classical pianist? If you want, you can copy my draft and use it. Thank you for your cooperations. Shalom777br (talk) 17:05, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
