Draft: David DeMarli

Hi there,

My entry for the draft page 'David DeMarli' was rejected. Can you please specify each category and entry that was not in-keeping with the Wiki methodology?

I am happy to then either find 'secondary' source material (or) delete the questionable section - But I must be made aware which section is questionable and why.

Hope this helps with the speedy publication of this page.

Draft for Shehab Khan

Hi Theroadislong,

The alterations you suggested for the page have been made and sources have been changed so they are not written by the subject.

There are currently 10 sources - 9 of which are written by different authors and refer to the subject directly. These include articles from national media organisations and posts from universities.

In your opinion do you think that would suffice?

The International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council

Hi, I drafted the page The International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council and I've tried rephrasing the contest as much as I can from a neutral POV and language. Is there a specific section of the draft that you believe violates the copyright clause? The main IPOSC website is also public domain. I am not sure how to continue from here. Please advise. Eyecare10 (talk) 15:16, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

My concerns were that it was written like an advert, when you have a conflict of interest or even when you don't, forget everything you know about them. It's best to search for newspaper or magazine articles or internet content that discuss the subject, not their own website. Basically Wikipedia has no interest in what the organisation wants to say about itself, (ie. it's goals and aims) but only what independent reliable sources have to say about it.

20:01:32, 18 December 2017 review of submission by Trainerguy


The feedback notes that the article is written more as advertisement, and references the fact that they should be written in a neutral tone with third party reference. I'd like to make this article comply, and I certainly don't want it sounding like ad copy, so I'd be interested in feedback about why it was declined.

Just about every point in the article includes a reference to a third party news site verifying the content, and the few that aren't referenced didn't seem that significant. As well, I was trying to write it in such a way that it was consistent with other articles about software companies, so I'd love feedback on the points that come across as biased, salesy, or inappropriate. Can you point me to specific sections that are examples of unacceptable style or unverified content?

I'd like to resubmit it with changes that make it suitable, so any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry but the whole article reads like it was written by somebody who works there. Theroadislong (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

thanks and request for immediate assistance

Hi Theoroadislong,

Thank you for your feedback on my first draft. I am completely aware that autobiographies are discouraged by Wikipedia but this is to certify this all the information provided by me was factually correct.

After my recent contribution as an Actor on an Indian Television Channel, it has been brought to my notice that audience has started looking me up on google(thus, in turn, wikipedia) and I, would not appreciate them coming across wrong information about me. It is therefore only apt that the such traffic meets with right and correct information as it is going to change their perception of me or my show, 'Woh Apna Sa' which airs regularly on ZeeTv(India).

I would therefor like the editors, such as yourself to assist me converting this draft into a successful article and help me present right information about myself.Bhavyasachdeva08 (talk) 10:07, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. There are plenty of social-networking sites like Facebook where you can do that, Wikipedia is different - a project to build an encyclopedia.

It will need a LOT more reliable sources first, the sources you have included do not demonstrate that the subject meets our guidelines for notability.

Kooligan123 (talk) 16:22, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

It helps, but what we really need is to demonstrate that the subject meets our guidelines for notability. Normally, this is done by showing that the magazine has received sustained in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. So a listing in British Library is not sufficient on it's own.

Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation References

I have added two newspaper mentions of the Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation.

Also, I wanted to point out that the Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation and the Will Erwin Headache Research Center are not the same thing. The center is run by Memorial Hermann, and is named after Will Erwin who took his life.

This article is about the foundation. I hope that isn't too confusing.

Your draft has three references the first is to a paper he wrote, (a primary source) the second is a Wikipedia article (Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference) the third is to Youtube which is not a reliable source. In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide references to articles written about Camillo Ricordi in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books, etc. Theroadislong (talk) 09:32, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Paul Jean Daverio

Hello and many thanks for looking into my article! I have an obvious problem with grasping what you mean when you say that seven articles are by himself: he is a researcher and I am naming the texts he has published about his research, both in the art history field and the, more relevant, medical field where he is very notorious in transgender circles and named in a number of chat forums to be one of the world's top surgeons if you need a new penis (sorry, that is his specialty but it is quite necessary, isn't it, whether you lost it by accident -burns etc.- or never had one). So how can I prove that? In the German speaking world (I have put him already on German wikipedia) I had less problems as there are also articles which speak about his approach, very respectful, to anybody who feels he is in the wrong body, but how to quote those in the English wikipedia? Is it useful at all? Many thanks again for your help!!! Drakegreune (talk) 13:23, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

I think the English Wikipedia may be stricter in it's following of guidelines. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject have published about it, in reliable places, so his own works do not establish his notability only others reporting on them can do that.

18:13:37, 22 December 2017 review of submission by Wikilover2604


Hi, thanks for taking the time out to review Buchalter. I followed the exact pattern of Goldberg Segalla who is a close competitor of the company and whose page has been there for a while. Is that incorrect? Law360 which is a major publication for legal news has covered Buchalter frequently. In California, it is one of the top 10 law firms. So notability (hopefully) should not be an issue. It is to do with how I have written it perhaps. I will definitely rework this. But any suggestions that you can give me? I am relatively new here so trying to learn Wikilover2604 (talk) 18:13, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

You have not chosen a good article on which to base yours, Goldberg Segalla was full of promotional links and written in list format, please see [WP:Other stuff exists]].

Cornshed sisters draft

Hi! I drafted a page which was declined for publication. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on why and how to fix it. The page was clearly of interest - this is a band with two albums, that has appeared on a film soundtrack and on the BBC, whose members are present or former members of well-known bands - so I can't see the issue. But I'd appreciate a bit of guidance to resolve it. Thanks. JamesLance (talk) 03:01, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Your draft contains a number of Wikipedia references, these need to be replaced, (Wikipedia is not a reliable source) also Twitter. Allmusic and Youtube are not reliable sources either, see WP:BAND for the notability guidelines for bands. Theroadislong (talk) 08:02, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

St Lawrence Shakespeare Festival

Hi. You rejected my article because you believed it sounded more like an advertisement than an article. I disagree, and unfortunately you have given no facts in support of your opinion. This is, in itself, a violation of first principles of Wikipedia, regarding the emphasis of evidence over opinion. So, here are my facts. First, let's look at the article. Why does it seem like advertising? There is only factual information here---it has information attesting to the importance of the Festival (an essential qualification for Wikipedia articles), about the origins of the festival, and some brief information about the fifteen-year history of the festival, including its leadership and the highlights of their contributions, as well as mentions some of the more significant productions. In no way does it advertise upcoming seasons. That is exactly the sort of information that I would write (on a different scale) if I were preparing an article on any theatre company. Second, while I find it distasteful to cite my credentials as point of debate, it seems necessary in this case, because you have effectively suggested that I do not know how to write an article about a theatre company. I don't know upon what basis you have made this judgement, because you simply deleted my work with that sneer about advertising and without offering a single helpful comment. But the fact is that I certainly do know what an article about a theatre company needs. I am a full professor at Queen's University, I have a PhD in Drama and have edited a great number of encyclopedia articles and written contributions to various journals. So, please tell me about the factual basis upon which you have made your decision and perhaps you would also be so good as to explain what your credentials are to make this judgement. Craig Walker (talk) 18:25, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Please assume good faith, I have edited the parts I deemed advertising and your article has been accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 18:28, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. You will understand, I hope, why it is difficult to assume good faith when a whole article is rejected without any specifics offered. But I am grateful for your helpful alterations.Craig Walker (talk) 18:37, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

World-Ecology article

Hi Teahouse!

What are the criteria for notability for a new academic field? The links indicate for World-Ecology: 1) 3,300 followers on academia; 2) annual conferences with 60-plus papers every year; 3) high profile scholars; 4) over 250 published essays in the field.

Can you help clarify? By way of contrast, Wikipedia includes an article for the field, Object Oriented Ontology, which has a far more narrow reach relative to world-ecology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_ontology

Warmly, Jason — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonwsmoore (talk • contribs) 19:30, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Your article has no references. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject, if these sources exist then notability might be established but with no sources it is unlikely. The article Object-oriented ontology has 53 sources by contrast. Theroadislong (talk) 19:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Request on 18:47:59, 28 December 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Mri2018


Dear Reviewer, This article mentions about a person who lived in one of most underdeveloped states of India when there was no internet. Hence, many resources are not available online. Request you to kindly guide. Warm regards, Martand S

Mri2018 (talk) 18:47, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Sources don't have to be online but they do need to have been published somewhere like newspapers or magazines. Theroadislong (talk) 18:53, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Review

Hello! I was wondering if I could have a bit of an assist with your comments on the article I created on the IPSF. I already wrote the wikipedia pole sports article with a variety of academic sources. As I wrote that article, I realized that other sports federations have pages but not the IPSF. I wanted to create a quick simple article that gave basic statistics on this federation. I looked at other sports federation pages and they mostly discuss such facts as well as any historical controversies. I edited my article to add in academic sources like peer-reviewed journal articles as background but the details of that are in the pole sports general page. Since this is a relatively new federation there is not much to write about controversies. I now reference some media sources, as pole sports getting GAISF observer status made some headlines. Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or if this is sufficient. Thanks! Dmfennell (talk) 22:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)dmfennell

I don't know how to do LINKS I have tried but wasn't successful.

There are numerous possibilities: Busch Quartet, Das Gottesmann Quartett, Hugo Kauder, Hugo Gottesmann Wikimedia Commons. Vienna Symphony,

Also I have pictures but I have failed to figure how to incorporate them.

Thank you so much for your continued help. Mary Jane Doerr (talk) 13:44, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Simply enclose the words with two square brackets either side. [[Busch Quartet]] will give you Busch Quartet. There are details here Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#Link specificity Theroadislong (talk) 14:16, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Article Help

Hi Theroadislong,

Thank you so much for reviewing the article I submitted for review. The notability of the subject of the article was questioned, could you please provide some additional insight on how I can edit this for publishing? This is my first article on WIKI and I want to ensure I am meeting all guidelines. If you can provide any additional tips/advise I would really appreciate it! Thanks again for your help, look forward to getting my first WIKI article published! Esmarin (talk) 20:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi I put the LINKS in. It says the the Wikimedia page does not exist but it does. You have been a wonderful help. Thank. Mary — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary Jane Doerr (talk • contribs) 22:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey. I understand. I've decided I don't want to be a member of this site. There are too many things I don't like. Too many bad editors who spoil articles and make life difficult for the better editors. I see all this and don't want any part in it. Can you delete the draft for me, please, because it will be a waste of somebody's time. You have been a real help and I appreciate that. One of the good guys. So long and thanks again. BajanBrent (talk) 17:32, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

I am not an admin so can't delete your draft, I have accepted the article, if he is not notable then someone might tag it, but it seems fairly good to me. 17:50, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

New Years new page backlog drive

Hello Theroadislong, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

  • The total number of reviews completed for the month.
  • The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

I hope that I have these correct now. Thanks Mary Jane Doerr (talk) 15:15, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Notability and verification...?

Thank you for your feedback on my submission for Texas Consilium. I have reviewed the notability requirements and am trying to better understand the disconnect and your concerns so I can take appropriate actions.

From my perspective, the recognition of Texas Consilium by the State of Texas with the State's own House Resolution HR 922 dedicated to Texas Consilium, read on the House floor and published in the House record on behalf of a state representing 28 million people, would constitute "notable." As I understand the Wikipedia guidelines, this recognition by the State of Texas would constitute published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of Texas Consilium.

It is unclear to me whether the concern is that this does not constitute notable, or whether this notability of HR 922 is not adequately verified by the referencing, or if I am missing the standards in some other way. Would you kindly provide further insight and guidance for me? Thank you.

JimKarla (talk) 16:38, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

This is a primary source [1] This is a press release [2], and I’m not sure what this is [3] but none of them are independent sources which discuss the subject in-depth. In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide references to articles written about Texas Consilium in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books, etc.Theroadislong (talk) 16:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Notability and verification...?

Sorry, but I couldn't figure out how to add a comment to our existing talk dialog so I've copied and pasted it here for reference.

You said "I’m not sure what this is [3]" and I wonder if that confusion might be the root issue here, since [3] is the key documentation presented here for the notability of Texas Consilium. [3] is the .gov official online publishing verification of the resolution by the State of Texas, documenting the State's evaluation of the importance of Texas Consilium to the State of Texas and Texas Consilium's impact on the economy of the State. The State of Texas is independent of Texas Consilium, was published as a representation of the 28 million residents of Texas, and this entire resolution is dedicated to Texas Consilium. While many organizations can be discussed in journals, magazines, books and other commercial publications, we are not aware of another business improvement organization that has received this level of published recognition by the State of Texas, or any other state government.

If we clarified the importance and this meaning of [3] in the article, would this be helpful?

If you can give me some guidance, I'd appreciate it. I was concerned about altering the wording as much of it is referenced in articles and other sources. I did get permission from the photographer to use the main image, so if you can give me a sense of what needs to happen to put it back up, I will do what is required.

Submission Rejection

Hello Theroadislong,

Thank you for your prompt review of the article submission for Delta H Design, Inc.

I believe the company should be part of Wikipedia's database so I wanted to ask what should be explicitly omitted and/or added to get the article in proper shape for publication.

Once again thank you for your time and expertise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gottaloveham (talk • contribs) 21:43, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

The whole article reads like an advert and some content has been copied and pasted from here [4] Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously you need to re-write the article entirely in your own words using available independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 21:54, 3 January 2018 (UTC),

I hadn't noticed the external links you had added, I have used these as references. It could do with a bit of editing still but I think she is probably notable enough to pass the notability guidelines. Theroadislong (talk) 22:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

My Milan Diekman draft

I've submitted a draft which you then declined for obvious reasons so I improved it and resubmitted it, then you declined it again with the exact same message. So I changed it again with the exact same structure another (accepted) page had, and I also addressed the problems in my draft (according to your message) head-on and re-submitted my draft again. Now you've declined it once again, which I don't mind, but I'd just like to know the reasons why because I feel like I can't do anything with the message you've send me three times now. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LucaKlijn (talk • contribs) 13:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

@LucaKlijn:You have ignored the comment I left, that says that you cannot use Wikipedia as a reference which you have done three times. The remaining reference is a primary source and also not acceptable. Notability requires verifiable evidence, sources of evidence include newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally.

Thank you Theroadislong, could you clarify what you mean by adding some more categories.
