I have made some updates and there have been some references added to this.

Hi Will0596. The references you added are a self-published blog (by a blogger, moreover, who was financially compensated for blogging about AfroSeeds), and a group blog. Such blogs are not reliable sources and may not be used as references. There don't appear to be any independent reliable sources about the topic, so no amount of editing will make the draft acceptable.

Request on 03:29:16, 17 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Iokepang

[edit]


I believe that the previous draft was rejected. Hence this is a completely different draft and not a duplicate.

Iokepang (talk) 03:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iokepang, you can still work on the original draft. Just because it has been rejected doesn't mean you can't still work on it and then ask for advice if you think the reviewer's feedback will change after you've made such edits. If it's on the same topic, it's considered the same draft: please stick to one page per topic. SITH (talk) 14:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

hello,

I have written up about International Sail and Power Academy recently and was rejected by Wikipedia. I have written about International Sail and Power Academy as "fact based" and from "neutral" point of view from their website to emphasize the brief history and what ISPA offers as an certifications. I am very surprised to hear that it sounded like "advertisement" and "Conflict of Interest" to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia has pointed out that my article was in "conflict of interest". Is this because I have used company email address to create an Wikipedia account? Would it made difference if I have used my personal email address?

I have read other sailing organization's Wikipedia articles and I believe majority of them are written in "advertisement" and shows large amount of "conflict of interest" in my opinion.

Please advise what exactly needs to be changed to be published on Wikipedia.

Thank you 75.157.110.40 (talk) 04:58, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ISPA2018. You may be right that articles about other sailing organizations are promotional. There are many poor articles on Wikipedia. That isn't a good excuse to create more of them. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why.
To have any chance at all of being accepted here, Draft:International Sail and Power Academy needs to be scrapped and rebuilt based mainly on arms-length reliable sources, not the company's website, and not at all on a site that provides product/service reviews for pay. It doesn't matter in the slightest what email account you use, but editors who like yourself have a conflict of interest are almost never able to write neutrally, never able to produce an encyclopedia article. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:48, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello! I am writing my first article in the English version of Wikipedia. My draft was rejected. I need help from the team. Please give an example of a non-neutral point of view in my article. I also need help, why my cited list of references and notes does not meet the criteria. Thank you!

Bollinmoor (talk) 05:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I;ve requested the draft be deleted. It is obvious advertising. See WP:PAID and WP:COI before you continue User:Bollinmoor Legacypac (talk) 10:05, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

10:18:13, 17 April 2019 review of draft by Azzabiddle

[edit]


My article was declined on the basis that the subject already exists on Wikipedia, however as noted in the original submission it is actually a translation of the original article from English into Spanish which does not currently exist for that page. Azzabiddle (talk) 10:18, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Azzabiddle, thank you for your submission. This is the English Wikipedia, so we only accept articles written in the English language. However, you are free to submit your translation to the Spanish Wikipedia which can be found at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portada --SITH (talk) 14:42, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this hotel is very significant in Springfield. Did you read the history? It has a long history tied to the State Government. It's major competitor, the Wyndham, does have it's own Wikipedia page. Tucker501 (talk) 11:04, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


My draft was declined and I would like advice on how to improve this article in Wikipedia. The original article was out of date and I have new information and research to contribute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Libraries_in_Second_Life_and_Virtual_Worlds

Valibrarian (talk) 20:06, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Valibrarian: - hi there, I believe that the reviewer, at the time, was reasonable to decline it - though perhaps for a different reason than that used. The edits you've made are at least a reasonable case for inclusion, however a "true" re-review wouldn't be in order (as it wasn't wrong). As such you need to resubmit it (blue button in the red box) and it will be reviewed in time. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LorriBrown (talk) 21:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I submitted a draft article LorriBrown/Joan Almond to AfC yesterday and it was rejected by @I dream of horses: (due to conflict with another Joan Almond draft article). I am hopeful that I can get this submission re-considered for the following reasons: 

   the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article is well researched with more content than the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond article at this juncture;
   the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond aricle does not appear to have been submitted for AfC review as indicated by  @I dream of horses in her rejection;
   the articles where created almost on the same date;
   I am hopeful that MarkZusab (and have reached out on their talk page) will be amiable to collaborating on the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article and help to develop and contribute new content to this article - rather than duplicating the research already accomplished in the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond article; and
   it is unclear if MarkZusab will direct post his version of the JoanAlmond article to AfC or post direct to the main space and it is unclear when they may be ready to do this.

I do understand that the LorriBrown/JoanAlmond version of the article may not be perfect but; however, I do think it is a good start and may be more constructive to proceed rather than to transfer content over the the MarkZusab/JoanAlmond article if this decision holds. Thank you for your consideration.LorriBrown (talk) 21:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LorriBrown. I see that some history merging has taken place since you posed this question. Do you consider your question resolved, or is there still an aspect of it that is outstanding? --Worldbruce (talk) 21:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce|Worldbruce I am sorry but I don't understand the meaning of your message. What history merging was that? Thank you!LorriBrown (talk) 05:54, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
