Dear sir, I provided as many as referred links available. I also have the links for rating and review of the content and owner. The content is not, explicit but just depicting a company profile. Please advice me the changes , so that it can be published. Please don't make me sad. I am an old user of wikipedia. I wrote an article to support a company. In my city. Please suggest the changes for publishing it. yourfriendAp+ 13:44, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

16:43:44, 23 March 2019 review of draft by PeterMa1234[edit]


Hello. How many citations are required? Thank you PeterMa1234 (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PeterMa1234. Anything you add must be verifiable in a reliable published source. The citing sources guideline says an inline citation is required for any material likely to be challenged. Articles for Creation reviewers are a skeptical bunch, apt to question almost everything, so it would be wise to use an inline citation for everything in the draft. (Exception: An author's list of works normally doesn't need inline citations because the works themselves document who wrote them.)
The draft was declined because it reads like something the marketing department would put out to praise the subject. It's important that you be transparent about your conflict of interest with regard to the topic.
Then take a hard look at passages like "he brought together the San Francisco design community for the creation of several pavilions at Slow Food Nation, the movement’s first American event, attended by fifty thousand people, including Prince Charles, Eric Schlosser, and Wendell Berry (winner of the National Humanities Medal)." Also weigh the importance of each entry in the "Awards, honors, recognition" section. Ones reported widely or in depth in independent sources are worth keeping, but ones trumpeted only by the awarding organization and the awardee probably don't belong in an encyclopedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:33, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

19:12:08, 23 March 2019 review of draft by Chrispaige2000[edit]


WITHDRAWN. NEVERMIND. SORRY. I'm baffled. I have created a user account and draft artcile. But when I click submit, it goes to a fresh page with non-content. I'm going in circles. How do I send the draft for review?

Chrispaige2000 (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chrispaige2000. Draft:The Other Side magazine is in the pool to be reviewed. You can tell by the big yellow box on the draft. Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest with regard to the topic. That UserboxCOI template, however, should be placed on your user page, not on the draft. There's another, related, template that will go on the draft's talk page, but other editors can take care of that for you. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:40, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:03:01, 23 March 2019 review of submission by PinkAuthor[edit]

My article on Bill King - a candidate for Mayor of Houston was rejected as the reviewer said that although there were lots of references, "none of them are particularly high quality" I edited the article, removed references from Amazon.com (the books written by the candidate), Wikipedia (referencing a previous election for office), and reduced the references from his website to only one for bio purposes (birth town & schools attended). I added additional numerous, reliable, secondary sources that discuss him and updated the images. I don't know what else to do to get the article approved and active. Additionally, in the interest of informing the voting public living in Houston, TX, it would be helpful to have this factual information available all in one place, as the other 2 candidates in the race - one of whom has never served in elected office - both have articles on Wikipedia.

 Not done User:PinkAuthor this is a campaign ad written as an article. We are not in the business of informing voters about candidates for office. I've sought deletion as he fails WP:NPOL Point us to the other candidate's pages and we can consider if they meet WP:NPOL. If he wins, he might meet WP:NPOL after serving some time as Houston is a fairly major city. Legacypac (talk) 21:11, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This seems inconsistent. There is no campaign material in the content. No policy positions, no endorsements, no appeals to voters. The information provided is from additional numerous, reliable, secondary sources that discuss him and are encyclopedic. King is a former mayor of a Texas city and is a candidate to be the mayor of the 4th largest city in America. The two other candidates in the race already have wikipedia pages. Meanwhile, there are pages for Pete Buttigieg - the mayor of S. Bend, Indiana - a minor city of 100k people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg, and for Laura Moser - a minor political activist who lost a primary race for congress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Moser PinkAuthor (talk) 22:38, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can't argue from the existence of one article, that another should be created. It could well be that we'll be deleting the other article too. Buttigieg is notable not as mayor of South Bend, but as a candidate for President who has attracted significant coverage around the world. I'll have to look at Moser: maybe the article about her should be deleted. (By the way, you still haven't told us who the other candidates are, so that we could look at the articles about them.) --Orange Mike | Talk 00:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've looked at the Moser article. She's mostly notable because of the way in which the DNCC sabotaged her congressional campaign in favor of a more conservative candidate, a battle which attracted attention nationally. Otherwise, she would fail our standards for notability both as a writer and as a political figure. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And if we do have an article on King, it will not be allowed to contain any promotional fluff like King gained unique insights into how various governmental entities operate, particularly regarding their finances" and "King’s reach extends from Houston’s local government scene to the Austin statehouse and the halls of Congress". --Orange Mike | Talk 00:42, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
