- We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every biographical claim the draft makes that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates the claim or removed wholesale. This is a hard requirement when writing biographical content about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 01:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Mridula Mukhia (talk) 09:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC) I am trying to make a wiki page for Siliguri Times which is a news web portal, but unfortunately, I'm not being able to. Every time I upload my composition, it says that it's more like an advertisement. When I remove all the links and just write the basic information, the response says that the info is not enough to make the page. I don't know what am I doing wrong. Could you kindly help?
- Mridula Mukhia Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. You have not offered any such sources and it seems unlikely that they would exist for such a new organization. Please see Your First Article for more information.

Hi I'd like to know what exactly is wrong with the article 'Rahul Suntah' as I made sure there is information from as much reliable sources as possible. Also could I know what exactly is wrong with the way the article was written?
Nintednic13 (talk) 10:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nintednic13 The sources offered seem to be interviews with him or merely cite the existence of his music. A Wikipedia article about a musician must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a musician, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable musician. Interviews are a primary source and do not establish notability. Having a lot of YouTube views is not part of the notability criteria(mostly because that is easily gamed and/or means little). Merely releasing an album also does not establish notability; please review the notability criteria to see if this musician meets at least one aspect of it. 331dot (talk) 10:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Revision of Draft:Terra0
I recently wrote my first Wikipedia article. It was rejected due to insufficient, reliable sources. I have understood the criticism and corrected the errors to the best of my knowledge, but I lack insight into whether there are other points of criticism, which is why I would be happy about precise assistance (if needed)! In general, do I just resubmit rejected items after the issues have been resolved or is it recommended to discuss them in Talk pages first? Thanks! PLTPRX (talk) 13:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Request on 14:40:45, 25 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Bela Adu
Hi,
I have put a lot of effort into creating the wikipedia page for the Romanian musician, Zoli Toth. I have provided a wealth of references from newspapers and magazines that are in no way related to the subject of this article.
It is my impression that the reviewer limited his evaluation to the references that are in English. Google translate works very well from Romanian into English, so it should be no problem to provide a fair review.
Thank you very much for your help!

Bela Adu (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Bela Adu You have a lot of sources- in a funny way, that's actually problematic refbombing. Wikipedia prefers a smaller number of sources with more significant coverage; if you need a lot of sources each with a little piece of information, that shows the person does not get significant coverage in independent reliable sources, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person or a notable musician. Many of your sources seem to be citing the existence of the person's music or the individual pieces of recognition they got. Please see Your First Article. I might suggest focusing a draft on the top three most significant sources about this person, summarizing what they say about him. Sources that just tell what he has done or show where his music can be found or are a routine announcement do not establish notability. 331dot (talk) 14:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
16:15:48, 25 May 2021 review of submission by Josie.mcjoserson
- Josie.mcjoserson (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hello,
I submitted an article draft for the Virtana company. I received a notification that my submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Please help me understand why this is the case. I referred to the Dynatrace Wikipedia page (it is company that is similar to Virtana) and used similar reference publications (except for press releases).
While a few of the historical references in my submission might be brief (after all they are just setting the context for how the subject got to the present), most references discuss the subject or its products/services in detail.
I limited my references to secondary sources consisting of business or industry publications. Also, I did not reference the subject’s web site or its own publications, press releases, etc.
- I have 26 third-party references from business and technology related publications’ articles related to Virtana and/or its products.
- 14 references are from within the past 3 years (2018 - present)
- 12 references are after the company renamed itself to Virtana
- 14 references are from when the company was named Virtual Instruments
- Business publications
- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- CIO Review
- ExecutiveBiz
- Industry/Trade publications or Analyst reports
- SearchStorage
- CRN (Computer Reseller News)
- Network World
- Network Computing
- InfoStor
- The Register
- eWeek
- ComputerWeekly
- Data Center Dynamics
- ZDnet
- siliconANGLE
- Intellyx
- Bloor Research
- SNMP Center
- IT Pro
- Myce
- The Silicon Review
I would like to modify my submission as necessary to make it compliant with Wikipedia’s requirements. To that end, would you please help by answering the following?
Q: Which of these publications/references are not considered reliable?
Q: Are there areas of information that are missing? I included the company name, what it does, its CEO, history, partnerships, and industry recognition. Would including a description of its current products be helpful?
Thank you very much!

- Josie.mcjoserson I am wondering if you have a connection to this company. If so, you must review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures.
- Regarding your inquiry, it's not usually a good idea to use other articles as a guide for yours. It could be that those other articles are also inappropriate. Please read other stuff exists. We try to address such articles, but we can only address what we know about; it is possible to get inappropriate content by us.
- You may not be using press releases, but most of your sources seem to be announcements of routine business activities, this does not establish notability. A Wikipedia article about a company should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Significant coverage goes beyone merely telling what the company does, and gives in depth analysis and comments. Please see Your First Article.

17:01:06, 25 May 2021 review of draft by Telenovelafan215
- Telenovelafan215 (talk · contribs) (TB)
The article was declined because: it does not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I have added 21 references for the series from different sources. On my talk page I was told that because the subject is an upcoming TV series. Future TV series are seldom notable, and this is no exception. It is premiering in 47 days (July 11, 2021). I would really like to get the article approved but I don't know what else to do to improve it. I was also accused of being paid for my edits because I want the article to be approved. I have created many articles for TV shows when they were still upcoming series and had not premiered yet and not once were they rejected. This is the first time I have had this problem where an article for an upcoming television series was moved to a draft space.
Telenovelafan215 (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Telenovelafan215: GermanKity moved the article to draft on 24 May. WP:DRAFTIFY says "Other editors (including the author of the page) have a right to object to moving the page. If an editor raises an objection, move the page back to mainspace, and if it is not notable, list it at AfD." You expanded the page and moved it back to article space, plainly an objection. GermanyKity moved the page to draft a second time on 25 May, an abuse of draftification. The correct course of action if they still felt the topic was not notable would have been to take it to AfD. Draftifying a page multiple times is disruptive and a violation of policy. You would be within your rights to pursue the matter at a drama board, but I hope this can be resolved this without that.
- GermanKity also added {{Undisclosed paid}} to the draft without explanation, and posted {{uw-paid1}} at User talk:Telenovelafan215#May 2021. Telenovelafan215 replied there, "I have never received compensation for my edits here on Wikipedia". It's fine to use these templates when one has a strong suspicion, but once the question has been answered, one is expected to assume good faith unless there is clear evidence to the contrary. No evidence of conflict of interest, let alone undisclosed paid editing, has been presented, so I have removed the template from the draft. If anyone has evidence, report the matter at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard.
- Afc reviewer Robert McClenon declined to move the draft to article space on the grounds of notability, noting that "The subject is an upcoming TV series. Future TV series are seldom notable, and this is no exception." Guideline WP:NTV says, "[A] television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network". So once the series airs on Las Estrellas it likely will be notable. The guideline goes on to spell out situations in which shows are not eligible before airing (none of which apply here). We can infer that there are also cases in which shows are notable before they air.
- The cited coverage is almost entirely based on announcements by the network/producers (i.e. press releases), social media posts by the producers/actors (the modern-day version of press releases), and an interview with the lead actor. None of these are independent sources, regardless of where they're published. The best bets for demonstrating notability are (1) the brief analysis on Infobae regarding how the comedy will have to change from the 1980s and 1990s, because the gynocologist's harrassment of women will no longer be funny,[1] and (2) the analysis on El Sol de Mexico, but that's only about 100 words.[2]
- Wikipedia is supposed to treat creative works in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works in addition to concise summaries of them. If you're comfortable that the draft does so, comfortable enough that you're willing to risk AfD, then move it to article space again. Plenty of other upcoming series have never been challenged, such as The Big Leap, La Brea (TV series), CSI: Vegas, and Ordinary Joe. If you aren't sure, then wait until after it airs. Once people have seen it, more is likely to be written about it in independent, reliable, secondary sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:47, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, User:Worldbruce, for your assessment of the situation, with which I agree, but I will add a few comments. It appears that this was a case of two overly enthusiastic editors both trying to do the right thing. Reviewers should be held to a higher standard than article authors, and User:GermanKity made mistakes. The more common mistake, which is a mistake, was double draftification. The more serious mistake was use of the Paid Editing tag on an editor whose history is that of an enthusiastic editor, not of a paid editor. I agree with the first draftification. My own opinion is that if the article had been nominated for deletion after the second move to article space, it would have been deleted. So I suggest that User:Telenovelafan215 wait until the middle of July, and add Reception information, and either resubmit the draft, or move the draft to article space. I have reminded User:GermanKity that an article should not be moved to draft space twice, but can be nominated for deletion the second time. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

It's actually come down, it was five months last week. It's not a queue; volunteers pick drafts to review in no particular order, there is no way to "jump the line". You will need to be patient.

Hello Help Desk. I am new in Wikipedia. I have researched and found info about Draft:M. Rezaul Hassan . He is one of the most renowned businessman on IT sector in Bangladesh. Moreover you can find many sources in it. I have submitted 3 times . Before that I was not aware of the fact that I should not create any page if it is on Draft space. However Honourable Administrators removed it and also marked the draft as Spam. I am really disappointed. I made tje article from my own sake. But unfortunately i used some promoting words . But I have removed them also. I am working on the draft. If it is deleted then my working will remain no value. If there is any citation problem I am also searching for it now. I hope help desk will remain kindfull on my work and let me have a time to proper citation and make the article don't like promotion .
MdEhsanulHaqueTanvir (talk) 08:47, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi MdEhsanulHaqueTanvir. I specialize in writing about Bangladesh-related topics, and after a little research am confident that whatever you may think of Hassan, he is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). Creating new articles is one of the most difficult, time consuming, and frustrating tasks a novice editor can attempt. That is particularly true of articles about living people and extant businesses. There are many easier ways to improve Wikipedia. If you want to help, check out WikiProject Bangladesh and/or the community portal for constructive ways to do so. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for kind direction. As I found others people in the same citeria in Bangladesh is noted in Wikipedia that's why I wrote about him. However , can I improve this article further ?
Thank you again.
MdEhsanulHaqueTanvir (talk) 04:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- @MdEhsanulHaqueTanvir: If by "in the same citeria", you mean there are biographies of Bangladeshis with similar sourcing, tone, and achievements, then the right thing to do is to delete those other biographies (hundreds of Wikipedia articles are deleted every day), not write another one like them. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. I don't believe sources exist that make it possible to write a better biography of Hassan. The latest draft has been deleted. You could start again from scratch, but that would cause you further disappointment when the next draft is deleted. There are millions of other things you could write about. Repeatedly pursuing a topic against everyone's advice might be viewed as tendentious editing, which could result in the loss of your editing privileges. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

The draft has been rejected, meaning that volunteers do not intend to review it again in the foreseeable future.

03:27:11, 27 May 2021 review of draft by Nhergert
Hello Wikipedia Editors, looking forward to better contributing on Wikipedia and understanding notability more correctly. I volunteer with a local non-profit journalism organization and thought it would be a good idea to note the <in my opinion substantial> work they have done so far on Wikipedia. While the Oregon Arts Watch article I have cited[1] is local, it does the best job of going in depth into the subjects and the intent behind the organization. The international news articles I cited [2][3] go less in depth, but I think they do a decent job of summarizing the interviews they had with the founder for their local audiences. All are independent to myself and the founder (and anyone on the team I think) and are not from any press releases.
If possible, I would like more specific advice as to why the page was rejected or if something was missed on either end. Looking at other recently accepted "local" non-profits, I got really confused when I found an article for North Dakota State Poetry Society, which seems to have none of the notability requirements listed in the help pages.
Also, it would be helpful if the original reviewer left more specific feedback in the review, instead of providing the generic template of a large list of issues that I need to try and reason through.
Much appreciated. Thanks! Nhergert (talk) 03:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Why was my article about Carlos Garrido declined or rejected from being approved & submitted? If anything, and if I want it to be approved, how can I change the name to Carlos Orlando Garrido? Because I am making this page for him as a trusted & reliable source of his and he doesn't always go by his first, middle & last name as his full name. Most of the times he uses his first & last name. And I even put his middle name in the description box of his birth name just like I did as well under his "early life & education" column of his article.
- Derek Alexander The draft was not rejected, only declined, meaning that it is possible to resubmit it(as you did). However, it will be rejected again, because it has no sources. All articles, especially those about living people must be sourced to independent reliable sources. A Wikipedia article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. That should be done dispassionately, without language such as "Carlos Orlando Garrido is an American Actor, Director, Producer, Writer, Business Owner & Entrepreneur who is an up and coming performing artist & filmmaker on a journey for stardom.". Please see Your First Article.
- You should also review conflict of interest so you can make the needed formal declaration. As for the article name, you may leave a note on the article talk page for the reviewer; when it is accepted it will be placed at the proper title. 331dot (talk) 06:18, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I am attempting to learn the ropes of article creation by contributing fashion-related entries for brands and designers that are not currently represented in Wikipedia.
My latest submission was 'declined due to not being adequately supported by reliable resources'.
Would it be possible to get some examples of where I am going wrong? I have only used mainstream media outlets as sources and as far as I can tell, the quality of my sources doesn't differ from other fashion-related Wiki pages.
Thanks a lot for your help"

- Rejection is meant to convey that you should stop, not create a new version, because the topic is hopeless. It is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing would make the draft acceptable. There is no option to re-submit because volunteers do not intend to review it again.

I would like to ask you which section (Bio, Accomplishments, Discography) of the Draft needs additional sources so I will be able to search for them and add.

Dellas777 (talk) 11:33, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Dellas777. The draft doesn't cite a single independent, reliable, secondary source that contains significant coverage of Arys. Replace the ones currently cited (all in the Biography and Accomplishments sections). Discographies are usually self supporting, in the sense that the disc itself or its packaging proves the artist's role in the disc. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources contains a list of sources Wikipedians have found useful when writing about music. Equally important is identifying which criteria, if any, of WP:MUSICBIO Arys meets. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:40, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I would like to re-submit this Wikipedia article. I understand that it has been rejected because its contents were similar to another Wikipedia page (the Harvard International Relations Council wiki page). I have suggested that the Harvard International Relations Council wiki page be split. The Harvard International Relations Council is an overarching body with several organizations. I believe it would be incredibly valuable for different organizations under the Harvard International Relations Council to have their own separate page. Thus, I have gone through the process of splitting the Harvard International Relations Council page. As it stands, it is too long and it has lots of information, and it would be useful for its sub-organization – such as the Harvard National Model United Nations – to have its own separate Wiki page. That way, the Harvard International Relations Council can serve as an organizing/overview page that can provide summaries for its sub-organizations and link readers to other more detailed pages that are specific to each organization.
I have already gone through the formal process of splitting the Harvard International Relations Council page and would appreciate guidance in order to finalize this process and submit the Harvard National Model United Nations page. Thus, I would link to respectfully ask for a re-review of this article.

I have a concern with the grueling process of Wikipedia review.
Truthfully, I am quite frustrated and need a resolution. With all due respect, I am REALLY SICK of my submission being rejected. I have properly cited footnotes and 25 sources. If a couple of sources don't meet your guidelines, SO WHAT? There are 23 other sources on which to rely. Herbie J Pilato IS A NOTEWORTHY PERSON. He has his own show (entering Season 2) on Amazon Prime and Amazon Prime UK. He has written more than 15 books and has hundreds of published articles. He is an actor as well.
I have edited and re-edited my submission close to 10 times over the past 2 months. How many times does it have to be rejected?
May I please get some help from a friendly Wikipedia person who not only knows what they are doing but actually wants my submission to eventually be published? It feels like I am in the middle of some sort of game with people like Gene93K. If Wikipedia has more than 6 million approved entries, then Herbie J Pilato should be one of those. He is a SOMEBODY and I am a fan.
Thank you for your consideration of my irritation in this matter. As per your request, I will be happy to remove the IMDB and Authorpedia sources. But I also have sources from Newsday, the Omaha World-Herald, television societies, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other noteworthy publications.
Please give me some positive feedback and not just reasons for rejection.

Tawianomlet (talk) 10:57, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Theroadislong I did read it, but it says it's an essay. Those are not Rules, and I read that Rules can be improved/changed overtime, but that's not what I am talking about. It's fine that Finolex Cables is what I used in my defense, but that's only because it was a similar field. I have seen many American companies on Wikipedia that are far more less notable than my Draft, less references too. But they are kept because they are known in the US through word-of-mouth. This is not fair for other countries :/
I checked Finolex's history, it was nominated for deletion earlier and someone clearly said it is notable. I mean, these are the leading industry companies! Not startups! How can a not notable company earn in billions? If your restaurant is busy 24*7, then it means it's famous in the city. If a company, that also a piping company that sells stuff for less than a USD, earns in billions, then it means it has some significant presence in the country.
Is it possible to get a conses on this, including Indian editors?

331dot It says that rejected Drafts are not suggested to be submitted again, where does it say that they are a gone case? I am trying to establish something here.
Technically, each article about a company will talk about its history, achievements, and legal cases. This is literally Wikipedia "telling" about a company. What have I done? I summarized what the sources said. That's how other companies are too.
And sure, I will put the notability and deletion tag on companies that seem to be not notable. But I wonder if that's gonna work because they will be known in the US through word-of-mouth.

- https://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/18/us/nationalspecial/returning-to-neighborhoods-that-are-no-longer-home.html is borderline. It doesn't contain a whole lot of relevant information about Melerine himself.

What is an example of "independent sources" that can be put under references? What makes a good "independent source"? What makes a good "independent source" qualifiable in order for his wiki article to be approved or accepted so that he can be notable? And how can I get an "independent source" to write more about Carlos Garrido so that he can become notable on wikipedia as well as appear on google like how most celebrities appear on Wikipedia & google? Because some user by the name @"Theroadislong" left two comments on my article, with one of them, if not both, being so silly & foolish saying that 1.) "zero independent sources, so zero chances of being acceptable." & 2.) "sources need to be independent NOT his own websites." And I have a comment about his comments as well as something to say about that - let me give you an example: Jason David Frank's business website "Rising Sun Karate School" is listed on his references side of his wikipedia page as an "independent source" that was created, added &/or edited by some anonymous user. So therefore, Carlos's company website should be considered as an "independent source." So that leads up to another follow up question: What makes Jason David Frank's business website qualified as an "independent source" under his wiki references, and not Carlos's business website? Carlos's business website IS an independent source, even if his official website may not be considered one. This is B.S., hypocritical, unfair & ridiculous.

- @Derek Alexander: an independent source is one that is not connected to the subject. A personal website or a website of a company they work for or with is not independent. Now we don’t outright ban the use of primary sources such as personal websites we do limit their use to only verifying very simple facts such as a date of birth. A Wikipedia article should based on what others have said about the subject in published independent reliable sources, not what they say about themselves. If there is enough of this sort of coverage we then say they may be notable. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 22:31, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Every biographical claim the draft makes that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to a strong third-party source that corroborates the claim or removed wholesale.

Here's the story. I'm new. I work for a charity, LiveWorkPlay. We had an article on Wikipedia for probably ten years. I didn't create it or edit but I was aware of it I just discovered it had been deleted. It seemed mainly because some didn't like the sourcing many of the links to media sources had expired so fair enough. I asked for undelete but this didn't seem likely. So I got the advice to create new Draft:LiveWorkPlay. I declared conflict of interest. I worked on the article for about 6 hours. I used 95% secondary sources. For my troubles I got accused of being a paid editor and also a very long message saying that the article read like an advertisement and too many internal sources - I have degrees in history education and linguistics - to me the content was blandly factual and excessively sourced - other feedback - not notable enough - too promotional - help.me understand how to demonstrate "notability" but avoid being "promotional" - the article certainly isn't going to sell anything or make money for anyone. All facts stated are sourced. I've looked at other articles for similar organizations and frankly they seem totally inferior - not nearly as well sourced and read like a brochure.
I don't understand what I was supposed to do - very aggressive comments about my being a "paid editor" I was given the advice to write the article - how else does it happen? I asked for help and other people did help edit - I feel like a criminal and I'm just not getting what that's all about. My preference was to try to fix the old article. I didn't want to write it. I thought what I wrote was pretty solid. And the criticism didn't match up to the article I am really upset and confused about the accusation of the references being self generated when they are not they are almost 100% secondary and I'm not getting paid one penny - I declared the conflict of interest immediately which seems fair but the insistence on paid editor does not. Ultimately after all this I'd just like to see an acceptable article. If someone can do that - because I clearly don't understand the sourcing and promotional issues - that would be great.
Iamthekanadian (talk) 05:35, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
I was forced into identifying as a paid editor. I have read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure over and over. I do work for the organization in the article. But I sm absolutely NOT being paid directly or indirectly for anything to do with Wikipedia. In was accused of being some sort of dark operative I never hid that I worked for the organization and I disclosed it immediately as a conflict of interest. In was told the article could not be edited or approved if I did not identify as a paid editor. I do not underhand why I was accused in this way and forced in this way. I would like this to be removed. Other editors have already volunteered to ensure neutrality. This has been a very negative and punitive experience.
Iamthekanadian (talk) 06:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- Iamthekanadian You have found out the hard way that diving right in to creating an article(the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia) without any experience in editing Wikipedia in general often leads to hurt feelings and disappointment as things happen to your work that you don't understand. It would be like building a house without knowing anything about electrical work, plumbing, getting permits, or anything about the process itself. I'm sorry this has happened.
- You do meet the definition of a paid editor. Any paid editing relationship with a subject you are editing about must be disclosed per the Terms of Use. You do not have to be specifically paid to edit or specifically directed to edit.
- You have a common misconception about what Wikipedia is for. It is not a place to merely tell about something and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about(in this case) an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected with the organization choose to say about it. Most of the sources you have offered are not acceptable for establishing notability, because they are brief mentions, announcements of routine activities, or similar sources. Please review the notability criteria for more information, as well as Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 06:37, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Well, respectfully, I have degrees in history, education, and linguistics and have written articles for journals, and I've been a Wikipedua user for I guess 15+ years, so it's not quite like the plumbing analogy, but thanks for the help.
Where does it say that anyone who is employed by an organization is a paid editor? Like, the plumber who works for the Buccaneers can't edit the Buccaneers page without declaring as a paid editor?
I have read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure five times and that's not what I'm seeing.
As for the article itself, it seems like a few neutral people have had a go at it - I guess you are saying the third party sources aren't significant enough - that's obviously an opinion to which you are entitled but that's a far cry from the accusation that I used internal sources and was engaged in dark ops. But I get it. I'm the basis guy. Thanks again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthekanadian (talk • contribs)
- Iamthekanadian I don't see where you were "accused of dark ops", but please understand that many paid editors are very sneaky and that may cause other editors to be jaded. We have no way to know what your employer has told you(i.e. whether to edit or not, whether you are "on the clock" or not) this is why any paid relationship with a subject must be disclosed- as lomg as conceivably you could be editing as part of your job duties(even if you actually aren't, again, we have no way to know this). You created this account three days ago so I was going by that history. It's still the case that many readers don't understand what actually goes into an article- even ones who are professional writers in other areas, because Wikipedia writing is very different. I've dealt with journalists and other professionals who had great difficulty here despite success in their careers. 331dot (talk) 07:14, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I will reiterate that I had IMMEDIATELY declared a conflict of interest, which makes sense. I even disclosed IMMEDIATELY that I worked for the organization. The policy on paid editors is not as clear as some seem to think it is - why not just say "If you work for Disney as a ticket taker, if you edit Cinderella you have to identify as a paid contributor." Seems like that would be very clear. I'm no genius but I can't be the first person to read the terms and reach a different conclusion. And yes I was accused of dark ops despite IMMEDIATELY being fully transparent. I think I was lucky enough to find at least one editor who just wants to address any deficiencies and not accuse me or insult me so hopefully it works out and it's not just a bad experience.
My mistake I don't see "black ops" only "dark hat." It was part of a very long lecture about my deficits and I musremembered it. Apologies.

I’ve created this page as a record of the history of a nonprofit organization and I followed the format of a multitude of other Wikipedia pages covering similar nonprofits, so I am not sure how to go about making the wording sound less like an “advertisement” for a business as the page rejection stated, and more like an encyclopedia article. It contains unbiased content, simple and straightforward stated facts about the organization and its history, and has a lot of resources to demonstrate the historical accuracy. I would love any help or advice I could get to bring this page to the public.
JMKrasuski (talk) 16:00, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
- JMKrasuski The draft is an advertisement because it just tells about your organization and what it does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization says about itself, but in what others completely unaffiliated with it choose on their own to say about it. "Significant coverage" does not include things like staff interviews, brief mentions, announcements of routine activities, press releases, any materials put out by the organization, or other primary sources.
- I see that you are writing about your own organization- this is usually very difficult for people in your position to do as required by Wikipedia. Successfully creating a new article is the hardest task to perform on Wikipedia- and it's even more difficult with a conflict of interest. We don't want just basic facts- any organization may give those on its own website or social media accounts.

I'm told that: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." However,I have included 20 references which include UK national newspapers, UK regional newspapers, and numerous articles from reputable foreign newspapers and magazines, plus some pieces in industry specific magazines relevant to the history of the subject of my page. I am baffled with regard to what more I am required to do, or where I am going wrong. If you could give me some clarification I would really appreciate it.

- Gastion1 The reason for the last decline was that the citations you have provided are not in-line as required. Please review referencing for beginners to learn about how to format and place citations. 331dot (talk) 12:00, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

My submission was declined because it "reads more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia," "needs to be written from a neutral point of view," and should refer to "independent, reliable, published sources." As far as I can tell, it is written from a neutral point of view and does refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources." Can you please tell me what specifically does not appear to be written from a neutral point of view and what specific sources need to be removed and/or replaced? Many thanks for your help.

- The issue here is that the draft just tells about Mr. Burger and what he does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about him, showing how he meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. It isn't enough to just tell us(for example) that he has interviewed notable people(as notability is not inherited by association), but if those interviews were significant in some way, or others have written about his skill as an interviewer, something like that. 331dot (talk) 12:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, could you check Draft: Ezequiel Matthysse and create it as a wikipedia article? Thanks for your help!

Everything stated in this article is sourced! I know there is only one source, but he is long dead and it is just not possible to find more about him. However, his name is attached to an important equation in mathematical physics and people should at least be able to find out some basic information about him in this context (at least this was my motivation for creating this page). He exists on WP in six other languages (arz,es,fr,pl,pt,ru) demonstrating that other WP projects consider the present information sufficiently sourced! I tried to talk to the admin denying this page, however, to no avail. There are several similar requests on the users's talk page but this user does not seem to reply to other users questions. So does this mean my work was in vain? Mathuvw (talk) 14:44, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
