Your submission at Articles for creation: Lionel Spitz (August 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BeanieFan11 was:

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 for sports persons and athletes). 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:

Each of the sources are non-independent (official website, European athletics website, Swiss athletics website, world athletics website). Are there any in-depth sources on Spitz from independent sources? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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 Draft:Lionel Spitz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, ViveLaSuisse! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are in-depth sources, however, they're in foreign languages like German and French. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide links? If I can't see them I can't know whether they're good enough for notability. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure.

Here are a few that I could find now.

I am wondering, how come the other Swiss athletes can have their own Wikipedia pages but not a some others ones? ViveLaSuisse (talk) 20:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reason your submission was declined is that we cannot accept articles that are based solely on sources related to the subject (its fine to have non-independent sources like WorldAthletics.org in the article but that alone is not sufficient to prove that Spitz is worthy of having an article). However, seeing your links, I would say that number one and three qualify as significant coverage for the general notability guideline, so if you manage to include the links in the article and resubmit I would be willing to accept it. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:24, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you for your help. I will work on making the changes that you mentioned. Hopefully, it can be approved. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 23:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry. That was my mistake. It will not happen again. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 18:34, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What does it mean if the images are deleted? Do I get a violated for each image? Am I going to be banned from Wikipedia? ViveLaSuisse (talk) 18:47, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See messages on your Commons user page C:User talk:ViveLaSuisse. Basically you are uploading images other photographers created and that they own the rights to. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:10, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the message. but nothing directly answers my question. I know that 2 of the images were removed, but as for the rest, do I get like a point for each violation? Does this notice count as the first warning/penalty? ViveLaSuisse (talk) 14:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's not exactly a point scale for violations but if you keep uploading images that have not been taken by yourself (you didn't take the photos yourself, correct?) or are not in the public domain you could get eventually blocked from Wikipedia Commons (you'd still be able to edit here, I believe). BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I understand now. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 04:59, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dominic Lokinyomo Lobalu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Continental championship. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary birth years in short descriptions

Please stop adding unnecessary birth years to short descriptions. If you disagree with my reverts you should discuss the issue first instead of reverting them without even giving a reason or an explanation. As I have indicated, your changes are not according to WP:SDSHORT which clearly states that shorter descriptions are preferred over longer ones and unnecessary information should be left out. Birth years are unnecessary in short descriptions, unless they help distinguish between people with (almost) the same names and descriptions. This does not appear to be an issue in the cases of Femke Bol, Sifan Hassan, Letesenbet Gidey, and Mary Moraa, so the birth years are unnecessary in the short descriptions of these articles and should be removed. – Editør (talk) 07:32, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please also take note of this policy: Wikipedia:Edit warring. – Editør (talk) 08:36, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a rule or just a matter of preference? I don't think it was unnecessary. Plenty of other pages have birth years in their short descriptions, not only in cases where names or descriptions are similar, and it is never a problem. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 06:10, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read WP:SDSHORT and Wikipedia:Edit warring? – Editør (talk) 07:13, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but that is a not rule and more of a guidance that not every page must follow. I have seen the guidelines before. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 07:21, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So it would make sense that you give a reason (such as disambiguation) for not following the guideline with your edits and for reverting my reverts (where I did give you a reason). But you chose to first edit and then revert without explanation or discussion. – Editør (talk) 08:05, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t know that I needed a reason for such a small change. I didn’t even see a place for adding a reason because of the short description tool that I used.

I have never ever seen one given on any of the other pages on Wikipedia. And, I didn’t see one that day on either of those pages when it was reverted back at first. So, I honestly didn’t think anything of it or that I would need to create a discussion about it on the talk pages either.

But, whatever, I’ll drop the issue. It really isn’t that big of a deal. You can have it your way on those pages. ViveLaSuisse (talk) 20:43, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for letting me know. (And you can state a reason for any edit in the edit summary, see Help:Edit summary). – Editør (talk) 20:53, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
