03:28:17, 22 November 2018 review of draft by Alvanhholmes[edit]


Alvanhholmes (talk) 03:28, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just received notice that this article was rejectedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:John_Ferrar_(Virginia_settler)

I am very confused. I did not submit an article John Farrar(Virginia_settler)


I do not know any John Farrar who was a VirginiaI do have an article pendng for John Ferrar, Deputy Treasurer)

Alvanhholmes (talk) 03:28, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This concerns another article I submitted: John Ferrar Esquire. I am told that it needs further work, but without any idea of what is meant by further work. I don't know what to do. Can guidance be more specific? ThanksAlvanhholmes (talk) 04:22, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alvanhholmes - First, as I tried to explain, I tried to disambiguate the two drafts on the two John Ferrars in accordance with the usual way that Wikipedia articles are disambiguated. I had to name them on moving them into draft space. You didn't name them, because you submitted them from sandboxes. There is nothing wrong with submitting drafts from sandboxes, but you then are relying on the judgment of the reviewer as to how to name them. If you think that some other disambiguation would be better, we can discuss, or you can move them in draft space. Second, did he settle in Virginia, or did he do his business that contributed to the history of Virginia in London? Third, I said that the articles needed more work. At a minimum, they need copy-editing. I found it a little hard to understand exactly what the younger John Ferrar did that was important to the success of the Virginia colony. I might just have been having a difficult time, but maybe another editor can comment. I also wasn't entirely sure what the elder John Ferrar is notable for. I have in the past said that anyone about whom there are written records from the nineteenth or earlier century is probably notable, and I assume that he is notable, but I am not sure how. I think that each of the articles needs a clearer lede sentence. I will let other editors comment. Robert McClenon (talk) 09:27, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Alvanhholmes - Since you have also been discussing these drafts at the Teahouse and on my talk page, I am asking that further discussion be at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:06, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

08:43:41, 22 November 2018 review of submission by Aleksandravetrova[edit]

To support the statements made in the article, I used secondary sources available online such as big Tech Media websites. All sources are credible and well-known. After the first submission was declined, I removed the External Links to the Group's official websites. However, the second review also declined the article.

Could you kindly tell me what is wrong with the sources I used? That would be very helpful. Thanks. Aleksandravetrova (talk) 08:43, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

11:27:58, 22 November 2018 review of submission by Guarnm16[edit]


Guarnm16 (talk) 11:27, 22 November 2018 (UTC) I am requesting re-review because I need this up for about a day so my mates who are mentioned in the story can read it and be together like destiny is telling them to. Mofo please accept. Per favore mio amore.[reply]

User:Guarnm16 - Wikipedia is not a medium for matchmaking correspondence. Romance is old-fashioned, and by now electronic mail is an old-fashioned medium that can be used for the purpose, as can postal mail. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:15, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

12:03:23, 22 November 2018 review of draft by Vanafi[edit]


Hello! I have recently created St. George's School Munich page, but it has been rejected 2 times by now for notability of references. This is the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:St.George%E2%80%99s_The_British_International_School_Munich. The problem is that the references I used were all independent and very much related to the subject. Moreover, there is a page St. George's School Cologne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George%27s_School,_Cologne) with very similar references and it is published while aso I cannot really understand what should I change.

StephanieMScott (talk) 17:35, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Legacypac for the review of Christian Convery. I'm very green and deeply appreciate any suggestions. Before I move forward with the next edit, will someone tell me what is needed to make this Wikipedia-worthy? You mention two leads roles, his two lead roles are stated in the Variety article and he is currently filming a 3rd one. If we are not ready now, I want to be soon and am willing to partner with a more experienced writer to guide me on what to include and what to exclude. To determine if my citations are sound. Is there such a service within Wikipedia?

I've commented on the draft. See WP:NACTOR. Subject may pass - perhaps another reviewer will take a look as actors are not my area of expertise. We have to be extra careful as subject is a child. Legacypac (talk) 05:09, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

18:55:55, 22 November 2018 review of draft by Bryantriplex[edit]

I would like to delete the draft I created called “I Met You hwen I was 18. (The Playlist)”. I discovered that an article had recently been created. I transferred my edits on this draft to the article page that I initially attempted to create before realizing it had already been created.

Bryantriplex (talk) 18:55, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So requested. Thanks for cleaning up after yourself. That is rare. Legacypac (talk) 05:05, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:38:04, 22 November 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Nukekiller[edit]


Hi, I am working on this page, which was recently rejected by a Wiki editor:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elisha_Shapiro

I tried to reach the editor, but she/he appears to be currently blocked.

The rejection reason given was that the subject doesn't have enough notable coverage. But many sources are cited in the article, including LA Times articles spanning decades. While the subject is not world famous, he certainly played a unique part in California's art history, as the articles show, and he is arguably the world's most famous living Nihilist, as evidenced by articles that discuss his running for office in CA on a Nihilist platform, and his being the founder of the only Nihilist film festival in the world for years.

The sources cited seem sufficient to establish significance.

Do you not agree? If not, what else would be needed?

Thank you!

Nukekiller (talk) 20:38, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nukekiller - The editor who declined your draft has been globally blocked as a sockpuppet. You will never be able to discuss the decline with them. I have reverted the decline by resubmitting your draft without a recommendation as to whether to accept or decline it, putting it back for a review. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:40, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've accepted the page. Not the most notable person but no clear cut reason to decline. Legacypac (talk) 05:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

23:46:08, 22 November 2018 review of submission by Babatundeope[edit]


hi, how do i click submit my article lilian afegbai for review? i can find the submit buton Babatundeope (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Babatundeope - Lilian_Afegbai is already in article space, having been there for about a week. It was accepted once by an editor, then that acceptance was reverted because the accepting editor was banned as a sockpuppet, and then accepted again. I do not see a Submit button, but there is no need for a Submit button. I have inserted a header for the reference list, and tagged the article for copy-edit. It is still in article space.
