Underscores (musician) moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Underscores (musician). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and Youtube, Soundcloud and Facebook are unacceptable as references, and musty be removed, The artist must pass WP:NMUSICIAN

. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 14:48, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Timtrent: Thank you so much for welcoming me, and for leaving me helpful comments!!
I included those sources (YouTube, SoundCloud, and Facebook) because I believed them to be self-published or questionable sources as sources on themselves. I deleted the facebook link (and the claim that cites it), since it also makes a claim about a third party (that was an error on my part). One of the YouTube links was also published by someone other than the subject of the article - I thought it might be acceptable since the person in the video is the subject of the article, and I was using the content of the video rather than the post itself - so I deleted that one as well. However, the remaining self-published and questionable sources were published by the subject of the article, and are about the subject of the article. Is there any chance you would be willing to take a look at references 6, 10, 13, and 17, and let me know if they are an exception to the self-published or questionable sources rule?
I'm also wondering if you could give me a little more detail on notability - I was basing this article on the notability guideline "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." The published works in question are this article in Rolling Stone, this article in the Atlantic, this article (along with others) in Ones To Watch (which is a newsblog), and this article (along with others I didn't include, since I thought I had established notability) by The Fader. All of these sources are focused specifically on the subject of the article (they are either profiles of her or reports on her work), and as far as I can tell, do not fall under any of the exceptions to the notability criteria. Was your comment about notability primarily in response to the questionable sourcing, or do these sources not meet the notability criteria as well?
I'll also gladly ask about this in the Teahouse - I just figured I'd ask you directly since you've already looked at the article and offered your comments! Thanks so much again!! Remainsuncertain (talk) 23:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have not seen this until now, perhaps a foible of the system. I reply to messages addressing me. I would have replied to it. My apologies.
However, Kvng has alerted me to your question on my own talk page, and is making their own reply to you. They are a highly experienced editor and will guide you well. Since I have been overtaken by events (or foibles) I suggest their advice will supercede my own. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:37, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries at all! Thanks again! Remainsuncertain (talk) 19:01, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Underscores (musician) (August 10)

[edit]
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 is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Youtube, Soundcloud, facebook, etc, may not be used as references
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.

Underscore (disambiguation)

[edit]

Please note that disambiguation pages like [[:]] are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 23:08, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Got it - the article I was linking to existed at the time I added it, and has since been deleted, hence the red link. Thanks!! Remainsuncertain (talk) 23:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't look at the history! Leschnei (talk) 23:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Underscores (musician) has been accepted

[edit]
Underscores (musician), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hello, Remainsuncertain,

I was skeptical of this article when I saw it on the Move log tonight but I think you did a good job writing about a ubiquitous product in the United States. It's about more than a hot dog! Good job. Liz Read! Talk! 05:40, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Costco hot dog

[edit]

On 13 September 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Costco hot dog, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Costco hot dog and soda combo deal has cost $1.50 since its introduction in 1984? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Costco hot dog. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Costco hot dog), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hook update
Your hook reached 11,421 views (993.1 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of September 2023 – nice work!

All are welcome, and newcomers and aspiring editors are especially encouraged to attend. Registration via Eventbrite is required for building entry, and is also encouraged on the event page on Meta.

The Wikicurious series is supported by Craig Newmark Philanthropies. Wikimedia NYC is an official affiliate and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. Also supporting this event are Equis, The Celia Cruz Foundation, and the International Museum of Salsa. In association with WikiCari and AfroCrowd.
