Hi Excirial - as I understand it, you rejected my article because it wasn't sufficiently supported by reliable sources. There is a company that is similar to WhiteBoard that has an entry called Worrell. It does not cite any sources for its entry at all. There is another one called Synapse Product Development and they mostly cite their own web cite as a source. I used these as a point of reference to write my entry. Can you help me understand why those two are okay, but my entry is not?
There was an article written about WhiteBoard in 2005, when it was still called Leisure, in a magazine called Twin Cities Business Monthly. It is not available on line, but I could email a copy to you. If I reference that article will it be sufficient to get the entry published?
Thanks. Clevegd (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clevegd (talk • contribs) 15:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hello there Clevegd,
- Before anything else i feel i should point out that pointing to another article is called a WAX argument. Since anyone can start an article, not every single article's quality is the same, and the result is that some article's may be in a poor condition (Or may at least be a bad example to model an article after). Those article's may eventually be improved or removed, depending on circumstances surrounding them. The article's for creation process has the advantage that an article won't be outright removed if something is wrong with it, but the standards for acceptation tend to be slightly higher, since the idea is that an editor should be ascertained that their article is unlikely to be removed later on.
- Having said that, if you need an example to model your article after, use the ones that are listed as a Good article. An article that qualifies as a good article has been checked for quality of writing, references et cetera, so they make a decent example. Personally i would recommend having a look at Pearson's Candy Company and Pike Place Fish Market, because they are well written decently referenced, while also being fairly short (thus reading them doesn't take ages). If you need an example, i would advice modeling your own article after these.
- As for the reference - par the company inclusion criteria multiple sources are needed, which in most cases translates to at the very least two or three clearly reliable sources. Note that these sources are also used to verify the article content, so technically taken the entire article's content should be traceable to such as reliable source.
