January 14[edit]

Request on 01:20:08, 14 January 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by 2TWarren[edit]


I'm at a loss for how to make the draft article more objective or encyclopedic. I just now removed the only statement that I think could have been seen as original research (an observation that the fact that the subject's father virtually never spelled his surname the same way twice is a likely indication of illiteracy), but the reviewer wants a complete rewrite of an otherwise utterly objective, extensively sourced text. Every last piece of information in that article is sourced. That's because that's the only way I know anything about him. I wrote this article from scratch, but I also wrote Rufus Lumry's entry in Oxford University Press's American National Biography. Their editors hardly touched my work. Do you want an article about Rufus Lumry? Or do you just want a stub, summarizing what I wrote for Oxford University Press? 2TWarren (talk) 01:20, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2TWarren Note that writing for Wikipedia is different than other styles of writing, such as for a biography. The last line of the death section is not sourced. would suggest asking the reviewer directly for suggestions(I'm honestly not sure of the specific tone issue either), and also examining other biographies that are considered good articles to see what is being looked for. I'm not sure what the murder section has to do with his notability at all(he just seems to have found a body). 331dot (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, 331dot. I could put in the citation for that last sentence and remove the section on the murder at lost grove, but I just don't want to deal with the other editors who do a drive-by of my hard work and expect me to read their minds. Is there some way to ask that the article be deleted? Life's too short to write for Wikipedia. 2TWarren (talk) 20:54, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

03:07:31, 14 January 2023 review of submission by Glacialfox[edit]

I have been working on a rewrite of the page Kenichi Maeyamada production discography and it's still in progress, however there's an announcement that's been alluded to that I think will end up bringing a lot of traffic to that page as a result rather soon. I was wondering if I tied up some loose ends in the first three sections which are most important (album and single songs, anime songs, and game songs) if we'd be able to find a way to put those sections in the original article in the meantime Glacialfox (talk) 03:07, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Glacialfox A volunteer editor is unlikely to extract parts of this draft and put them in an existing article, but it's possible. Note that Wikipedia is not concerned with outside deadlines. David10244 (talk) 04:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

06:52:24, 14 January 2023 review of draft by Parwiz ahmadi[edit]


I am requesting you for submitting this article as soon as possible. Please review this article as soon as possible. This person whose information I collected is one of the most important people in Afghanistan who is currently in charge of the fighters of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan. He is one of the staunch opponents of the Taliban and terrorists. He has an interesting biography. And the people of Afghanistan remember him as a hero. I hope his article will be published soon. Parwiz ahmadi (talk) 06:52, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parwiz ahmadi You have submitted it for review and it is pending, please be patient. 331dot (talk) 08:46, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:05:26, 14 January 2023 review of submission by Childrenandart[edit]

hi all,

I am trying to submit an article and have never done so. I spent weeks putting it together and baked it up with tons of articles and it was rejected but I cannot get specific questions answered by the editor.

I was googling around trying to figure it out and I saw that sometime people hire companies to do the articles. I assume these companies have all these confusing and seeming arbitrary things figured out. But, I thought that was not acceptable. is it acceptable to hire a professional to post an article or not? can someone let me know?

Childrenandart (talk) 16:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Childrenandart: – pinging so you'll see my response below. --bonadea contributions talk 18:31, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:Michael Fairbanks has been declined, not rejected. You can edit it and then resubmit. It looks like you created it yesterday, that it was sent to draftspace, and that you only submitted it today, to have it declined pretty quickly; again, a decline doesn't mean the draft has been rejected. You say I cannot get specific questions answered by the editor ; do you refer to the questions you asked on your user talk page yesterday? It is not very likely that anyone will see the questions there, and 24 hours is a very short time to wait before assuming that nobody will reply. Ask your specific questions here, instead, or at the Teahouse (linked from your user talk page). It is almost unheard of for a company that advertises Wikipedia editing services to have any grasp of the guidelines and policies, or any interest in following them. --bonadea contributions talk 18:29, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, how can I rephrase this article so it sounds more like a wikipedia entry, neutral. Thanks!

Start by removing everything that is unsourced, which incidentally is ALL entirely promotional. Theroadislong (talk) 19:15, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
