Question from Poliana2025 (21:41, 5 March 2025)

Dear Alpha,

I've published a Wikipedia profile and would love for you to review it and share your feedback. I really appreciate any insights you can provide. Right now, it's still in Draft because they say it contains promotional content and lacks sufficient references, but I'm not exactly sure what needs improvement. I've made several updates already—could you help me figure out what to refine?

Thanks in advance! https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Cesare_Stefano_Bernardinelli --Poliana2025 (talk) 21:41, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Poliana2025, I've taken a look at the Draft:Cesare Stefano Bernardinelli article, and I think the biggest thing would be to try and find a few (independent, reliable) sources that cover Bernardinelli in a bit more detail, which can be used to support more than one or two points individually. I noticed that most of your references seem to be brief mentions in short news articles the subject is associated with, not more detailed articles that are primarily about, or devote significant detail to Bernardinelli.

There are several benefits of building articles primarily from those more detailed sources. First of all, in most cases, you are required to have at least three of those sources, and making it clear that those are your primary sources would usually mean your article would be reviewed faster. Second, broader sources covering multiple aspects of Bernardinelli's life give us an easier to use indicator of which parts sources find more important, and which parts less, allowing us to devote an appropriate amount of content to each. Finally, there are some pitfalls that can be easy to fall into using too much primary source material, or source material that only touch on Bernardinelli more tangentially, and ensuring your article is solidly rooted in your core detailed sources can help avoid that, at least initially.

I'm not hundred percent sure how long an AfC review is likely to take at the moment, but I believe the feedback you'd receive when is reviewed there would likely to also be along those lines (focus on at least three independent, detailed and reliable secondary sources). Best of luck! Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:20, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from SecondHarvest2025 (17:42, 6 March 2025)

Hi there,

I would like to submit a request for edits our non profits organization page and understand that because there's a COI I need to make sure that this is done properly. Can you help me figure out how to do this?

Thank you, Michelle --SecondHarvest2025 (talk) 17:42, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Michelle, if you're looking to request a change to an existing page, the easiest way to do so would likely be the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard. Click the button that applies to you (either COI or paid, depending on whether you're a volunteer or paid staff of the organisation) and fill in the text box/editing window that pops up and then hit submit. There is also a {{textdiff}} template you can use for more complex requests, you can see an example of how at Wikipedia:Edit requests § Making requests, but it is best to keep things as simple as possible and take it one step at a time.

Thank you so much! Much appreciated :) SecondHarvest2025 (talk) 12:36, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
