Your submission at Articles for creation: Files (file manager) (May 30)

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

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.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Written like an advertisement by a sales team, this draft lacks the significant coverage from reliable sources we have always needed for general notability. The only award won isn't notable itself. Whomever wrote this should be ashamed.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Files (file manager) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Chris troutman

Thanks for your answer.

I actually only went to translate because I wanted to translate the German article into English. Did I do something wrong?

Kind regards, WikiScis WikiScis (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

German-language Wikipedia is an entirely different entity than English-language Wikipedia, even though the servers are owned by the same non-profit. They have their own rules for regarding article content, so translating an article from another wiki to here is not necessarily going to lead to publication. Worse, the article in German is insufficient by their standards and they've not deleted it yet, so replicating this content in English has made matters worse. As stated above, the case for notability has to be made through multiple independent reliable sources. What you copied over mostly cites files.community which is not, so far as I can tell, a reliable source: it's a crowd-sourced website which is never allowed. Please read WP:N and WP:RS as well as WP:FIRST. Why did you choose to translate this over, anyway? Chris Troutman (talk) 17:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris troutman

Thank you for your quick response. I chose to translate this article because I wrote it myself. I wanted to publish the article for the English Wikipedia - like on the German Wikipedia - because I enjoy publishing articles with high-quality information. This article was published in the German Wikipedia, which shows me that I have not written this article wrongly, even if you think that this article is not good enough for Wikipedia.

Greeting,

It's regrettable you substituted my judgement for your own. I've nominated the German-language article for deletion. Since you wrote the original German article, how are you connected to the subject? Your goal of "publishing articles with high-quality information" is not evinced by your contributions so far. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:10, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's no reason to argue, but I have to say this now:

I don't think it's appropriate for you to dictate other people's opinions. Do you think you always get off that easy? That you can scold people? What do not you like? WHY don't you like the article?

Why do you like to "scold" me? Did I do anything to you? - No!

I accept it if you don't want the article in English Wikipedia - it's your own fault.

But I don't want you to interfere in things that only affect you passively. Maybe you like to make Wikipedia better; but after the article has already been viewed, there are also people who appreciate my articles AND the time I put into the work and don't just scold me. I ask you; stay out of the German and mind the English; less is often more. WikiScis (talk) 19:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are legally obligated to reveal any conflict of interest. Can you please answer that question? Chris Troutman (talk) 22:46, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but which question are you referring to now? Do you mean how I am connected to the project? I just like the app. WikiScis (talk) 04:06, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; that's the question I asked. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:10, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
