April 24

[edit]

I could use some guidance on what needs to be changed for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Groovey.TV to be accepted. Thank you very much! Zuluflipper (talk) 23:40, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Zuluflipper: As has been pointed out already, the subject has no claim to notability and most of the sources listed are not reliable. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:01, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


In the 1st round of the article the reviewer mentioned there were insufficient citations. As a result, I spent a lot of time on the web searching for citations and put up whatever I found that was relevant.

In the latest review of this article (Solana Networks), LukeSurl has indicated that there are too many citations and some of the citations are not needed.

It would be helpful to find out exactly which citations to delete. Can someone let me know? This would probably shorten the back and forth cycle.


thanks sdoya

@Sdoya: What LukeSurl is referring to is that you have a lot of citations but many of them don't link to reliable sources. You want to stick to CBC, The Globe and Mail, etc. One of your URLs is Reuters, but they're re-posting a PR release from Market Wire. When you take out all those non-reliable sources you have very little left to make a case for WP:GNG. You don't have to delete all of them but I would recommend restructuring the article around your few solid sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for feedback in regards to neutrality and if referencing is sufficient?

Thanks

Swillats (talk) 05:24, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Swillats: Referencing is definitely not sufficient. One source is not enough to demonstrate notability. On neutrality, Rankersbo has already left a comment on your submission. I advise you to read that as well as information about so-called peacock terms. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 19:38, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi , I created a page titled 'Mumin Ali Gunawan" around 2 weeks ago. Am wondering what is the status of this page? Thanks ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.193.132.14 (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not yet submitted. Click the link that reads "Submit your draft when you are ready for it to be reviewed!" Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 19:41, 24 April 2014 (UTC) It has been submitted for review. Please be patient. While it is waiting, you can continue improving it by adding more information. (Make sure you cite reliable sources for any new content.)

I don't understand why my articles keep getting denied for Sean Rush (artist). The first time I was told to add my references and I did but was still denied. Can someone please help with this? SeanRushAtelier

SeanRushAtelier, please re-read the answer I gave you here on March 24th concerning your draft article [1]. Please also read and take on board the comments which I and User:Theroadislong have left on your talk page. Voceditenore (talk) 17:21, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sandy Stimpson

Hello, I submitted my article 20 days ago and am curious to find out if there is anything we are able to do in order to get our submission reviewed more quickly. The submission is for Sandy Stimpson, the Mayor of Mobile, Alabama and there has been a high demand for his Wikipedia page. If we should add more information or sources, please let us know or if there is anything else we can do to get our article processed more quickly. Thank you for your time! Gabriellemcnair (talk) 17:10, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriellemcnair: no Declined Municipal officials aren't necessarily notable and WP:NPOL has specific requirements. The subject also doesn't meet WP:GNG. Chris Troutman (talk) 05:46, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have sumbitted an article three weeks ago and it has not yet been approved. I want to learn if there is missing elements to it that needs to be corrected and that is the reason why it has not been approved yet. Is there a way that I can learn about it? Thanks, Ipek Basaran Ib598 (talk) 17:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Ib598: There are over two thousand submissions currently, so reviews take time for all of them. However, I've just declined yours. It needs references to independent, reliable sources of information. You can also learn more about editing articles about subjects with which you are affiliated.

Hello. I submitted an article for review Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Robert Quigg in mid March, but every time I check on it's status, it has been pushed further back in the queue. Is it possible to get an estimated time of review? Thanks. LaurenVL (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Ajbaptiste: I've tried changing the name of the image to Misoon Ghim.jpg, which you uploaded. Is that the image you were trying to add? Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 21:48, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

I was wondering if somebody could tell me exactly what links I need to remove in order for my Wikipedia page to be approved. It has been declined twice and I would really appreciate a clear outline of what is wrong with it so that I can fix them and resubmit. The article is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr. Salvatore Pacella. Thank you so much for your help!

DrPacella (talk) 21:49, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@InnoWikipedia: I cut out the long list of publications. While I know how important that is to academics, it means nothing here. Second, I started reformatting the references. That's not a required step but it helps me see at a glance what the sources really are. Reflinks is great for that. My concern is that the subject lacks general notability and most of the URLs provided are for organizations of which Pacella is a member, so they're not independent. He also fails WP:ACADEMIC as the Worden award itself isn't notable and there's no evidence he did any groundbreaking research. I'd also like to point out that this submission looks very promotional.
