01:10:25, 14 September 2018 review of draft by The Rank and File[edit]


We created a User Page in the Sandbox and it was flagged for immediate deletion. We are unsure if was created correctly as a User Page or if it is an Article and thus under more stringent or different rules? In any case we edited to remove our fundraising website and our social media links and resubmitted it.
Now we realise we can have one link to one official website? Not sure if we should edit again or wait for a reply.
Thank you for any advise.

Request on 02:48:27, 14 September 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Troy Sheehan[edit]


I am needing some assistance to create an infobox for a band's wiki page I am wanting to publish.

04:18:00, 14 September 2018 review of draft by Summerintx[edit]


I would like to make sure my citations and references are formatted correctly. There's a list of four References, consisting of links to news articles, but bylines are not shown for the most part. There are External Links to government sources. Finally there are ten specific full citations (including bylines if any) linking to news sources for the history and other information about the station. That part hangs below the External Links without a heading so it looks busy and not well organized. I don't know if there's a way (or if it should) replace the four items listed under References. But it does not look good as is. I suppose it could be cut to look better, but it's documentation that shows the new article has high validity. Please advise. Thank you.

Summerintx Greetings. I have reviewed your draft article and please see below
  1. Please read WP:Your First Article and WP:Referencing for Beginners to familiar yourself on how to write an article and provide inline citation.
  2. Article needs to be written in Neutral point of view. At current stage it reads like an advertising piece.
  3. Please remove all external links in the body texts.
  4. Left only one external link on External section - see WP:ELMIN
  5. All content need to included inline citation. Unsourced content would be removed.
  6. I added {{reflist}} - inlined references could be viewed under "References" at the bottom of the page.
Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-submitted a text after theroadislong placed comments. I believe it complies with the rules of wikipedia now. But this has been a while ago when I resubmitted it, and it still hasn't been published yet. Please give me clear instructions on what to do next in order to have it published a.s.a.p. Many thanks, kind regards

Request on 09:09:03, 14 September 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Rayner111[edit]


I keep getting warnings that my post "Theoretical Behaviorism" is a copy of a paper by B. F. Skinner, which is nonsense. The piece is completely original but it does cite the Skinner paper-- as it should, given the topic.

Is this comment from a bot? Why I am getting this crazy objection. HELP! JS

Rayner111 (talk) 09:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rayner111, Greetings. You were informed by a few reviewers that you have violated the WP:COPYRIGHT infringement prior it was tagged for CSD G12 and the article was deleted - see HERE]. Please write the article in your on words next time to avoid such incident again. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:11, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please check my draft. Mughees963 (talk) 13:56, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Mughees963:. Firstly, all drafts in AfC will get reviewed - there are currently just under 4000 drafts, which means it can take anywhere up to a little over 2 months to process them. They're not done in order, so yours may well be done before then.
However, your draft doesn't currently satisfy notability rules. A town has to meet lower sourcing requirements, but neither of your two sources clearly shows that Muqeem Shah exists and that it is a town. While your draft is pending, it would be worth you finding a couple of additional sources to clarify this. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:01, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

16:29:43, 14 September 2018 review of submission by Wikiwriterpro[edit]


Dear Wikipedia, I've been trying to publish an article about a person who is notable enough to get into Wikipedia. But, the article submission is constantly being rejected by the Wikipedia Editors who think the person isn't notable enough. The fact is that they are only accepting the articles of the person whom they know and unfortunately, their knowledge seems to be under a rock and not knowing some key persons of the internet doesn't mean that the world will now know the person. I have added all the required details and citations to the Article, So, I request you to add this person (Draft: Rishav Kumar) to your Wikipedia Articles.

Thanking You, Daniel Chris Professional Wikipedia Writer Italy, Europe

Wikiwriterpro (talk) 16:29, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiwriterpro Greetings to you and pls see below:
1. Those editors who rejected your draft page are AfC (Article for Creation) reviewers.
2. The subject (here is Rishav Kumar) needs to meet the notability requirement in order to merit a page in Wikipedia.
3. Content of draft need to be supported by (1) significant coverage with at (2) least three independent(secondary source) , (4) reliable sources where by (5) sources talk about the subject in length and in depth and no only passing mentioned.
4. Press releases, interview, home page, sources affiliated/associated with subject, listing, user generated sources and etc are considered primary (not independent) sources and they can NOT be used to demonstrate the of the subject.
5. Sources from major newspaper (not interview /press release) article would be considered independent and reliable sources.
6. The sources you provided do not pass the requirement of the above for such the draft article were rejected.
7. Please read WP:Your First Article, referencing for beginners and WP:NPOV to familiar yourself on how to write a neutral point of view article and cite with inline citation.
8. Please refer to Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything if the above is not clear to you.

17:20:17, 14 September 2018 review of draft by Kmk01188[edit]


I received this message about the current page I am creating, Salvatore "SoccerSam" Fantauzzo. Can you please help me to make sure that this does not get deleted? I have tried to reference many articles to make it correct. message received: "This draft does not appear to meet biographical notability, but I am leaving it to another reviewer. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:54, 13 September 2018 (UTC)"

Kmk01188 (talk) 17:20, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft wouldn't be deleted, but it would be declined if it was viewed as failing notability when reviewed. This would mean you'd need to alter it and then resubmit it to the AfC process.
Your sources struggle to satisfy the triple requirement of: Significant Coverage (in depth reporting on Salvatore himself); reliable sources and independent (which also rules out interviews and when newspapers construct articles from press releases).
