06:01:08, 8 June 2020 review of submission by Andy Phung 1992[edit]


Hi, I am writing about a new social network call "Empow" which I recently used and did some research about it to write my first Wiki article. This article has nothing to do with the old one, please take a look and tell me if my article can publish or not. Thank you very much.

Andy Phung 1992 Your draft has been rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. You have offered no independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this social network, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable website. If it is new as you state, it may take time for such sources to develop meaning it is too soon for an article about it. 331dot (talk) 09:00, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:10:14, 8 June 2020 review of draft by J.mins[edit]


My article was declined. However, i can't understand why my article was declined. Actuallly, my article is based on facts and has a reliable sources. I don't understand that my article was declined because it was neologism. 'Persons of distinguished service to science and technology' is official word in Korea and i don't creat this word. I just want to upload my article in English Wikipedia. So please let me konw how to upload my aricle as soon as possible. J.mins (talk) 06:10, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

J.mins Perhaps it is a translation error, but if you are writing about an award given by the Korean government or someone else, the article does not make that clear; it appears that it is just your opinion as to who notable scientists or technology experts are. 331dot (talk) 08:58, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:13:16, 8 June 2020 review of submission by Joyceliloksee[edit]

The wiki page is declined by reason of references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article, if i remove all passing mentions articles and reference and insert only independent articles of the subject will this page be accepted? Joyceliloksee (talk) 06:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Joyceliloksee: probbably, unless there is some other thing that will prevent it from getting accepted (which I am not going to predict now). Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:50, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know that what more changes do I need to make to make this page well enough to be published as an article. I would feel glad if get to know this. Harshit00111 (talk) 06:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Harshit00111: You need to provide reliable sources to support your edits and also must disclose if you have a conflict of interest per WP:COI. GSS 💬 07:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear how should i move this page to article space, what things required to move Palak Sidhwani to article space?? Trisha 12:34, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Trisha1983 Your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further as in the opinion of the reviewer it has little to no chance of being able to be improved enough to meet Wikipedia standards. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about people; Wikipedia articles must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about subjects that meet the special Wikipedia definition of notability; in this case, the definition of a notable actress. It appears that this person does not meet that definition. 331dot (talk) 12:54, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

18:44:57, 8 June 2020 review of draft by Drashti R Joshi[edit]


I have edited the draft post the submission has been declined on 5th June. I would like to know when it will be reviewed.

Drashti R Joshi (talk) 18:44, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drashti R Joshi, Well it still reads like an ad, and needs better sourcing to show notability. If you want it to be reviewed again, you will need to press the resubmit button CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:53, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


21:07:31, 8 June 2020 review of draft by Atlastucco66[edit]


Hi, I am trying to set up a Wikipedia page for a musical group from Montreal. My first draft was not accepted. The band is from the 80s and not very well known outside their home province. Although I have scans of their press clippings and photos etc, I have been trying for years to find online articles to link to make my page more credible. Is it considered appropriate to incorporate scans of articles in order to authenticate the information on the page?

Atlastucco66 (talk) 21:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Atlastucco66 Wikipedia has articles, not mere pages. You don't need scans of articles, you just need to be able to cite the publication and its information (author, page, etc.) so that a reader could locate it if desired (in a library). Sources do not need to be online, they only need to be publicly accessible. 331dot (talk) 21:32, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


23:49:25, 8 June 2020 review of draft by Malbrec92[edit]


Help me understand what else I can include to support Steven's notoriety, and how I can overcome the conflict of interest. Steven Beschloss has over 97,000 followers on Twitter, was nominated for a Pulitzer, has produced movies, written high-profile op-eds in major media outlets, and has had scholarly work published as well. Yes, I work with him -- and I took pains to keep to just the facts and dig up sources to support them. What's next, please? Malbrec92 (talk) 23:49, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Malbrec92 I think you mean notability, not "notoriety". As noted by the reviewer, Mr. Beschloss does not appear to meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable creative professional. The closest he comes might be being nominated for a Pulitzer, which would indicate he is "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors", but only if he had been awarded one. Most of the sources you offer merely confirm the existence of his work; what is required is independent reliable sources with significant coverage where the sources has chosen on their own to write about Mr. Beschloss. Please see Your First Article for more information. 331dot (talk) 10:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
