August 18[edit]

07:18:06, 18 August 2018 review of submission by Devendra143gupta[edit]


Shanaya Makani is very young Producer in film industry, she already made one Bhojpuri Movie which was superhit, now she is producing a Bollywood Movie. You can check the reference link which I linked with the article. I am requesting you to please plublish the article. If any mistake in article than plz help me with it or solve it.

Hi Devendra143gupta, the reviewer turned down the draft on the basis of the producer only having been involved in one completed film. A second film would have to either be very far along or actually completed to count as a second. Also critically, you have to actually state the facts in article - you don't actually mention the second film, and your references are just in two clumps. You need to write out the facts in them that you consider important and then put the references that support each sentence or two after them.
I hope this helps with the two main stated reasons, please ask either me or your reviewer if you have any further questions. Nosebagbear (talk) 23:25, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:09:44, 18 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by TheHoeun[edit]


I tried to submit an article of one of commercial banks in Cambodia, but got rejected it twice. The feedback was that it looked like an advert, but i basically followed the existing texts of other articles of commercial banks in Cambodia. I am new to this, so please help explain me how i can get an article to be published?

Thank you.

Hi TheHoeun. For general advice on how to get an article published, see Wikipedia:Your first article. With regard to this particular draft, although it is natural to learn by example, it is safer to work from the official guidelines, in this case Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of articles that do not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines is not a good excuse to create more such articles. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best.
More generally, getting an article published is overrated. What is easier for a new editor, and more useful, is to improve existing articles. We have 5.6 million to choose from. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:34, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
