User talk:Karlis Apinis

January 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 150, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 10:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using Grammarly software to copyedit articles

Please don't use an automated tool to alter spelling or grammar if you aren't fluent enough in English to know whether those changes are correct, as was the case in your edits to referral marketing. A grammar-correction tool designed to make people's emails more direct and confident should not be used to write an encyclopedia. Wikipedia also has strict rules (WP:ENGVAR) about how and where to apply national variations of English. Belbury (talk) 10:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Timtrent were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Karlis Apinis/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
