Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2010 September 15
Please review this site for the wiki of Winster.com. I made this wiki because this is a gaming website that my friends and I frequent and I thought it would be good to provide a wikipedia page for it.

- Press-releases are primary sources, so it currently does not satisfy the notability requirements, see also WP:CORP. It contains non-neutral claims, and some of the content is not encyclopaedic; see WP:NOTGUIDE and other parts in WP:NOT. Chzz ► 04:34, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

- Please remember to log in.
- The article seems to be copied from another website, in violation of copyright. Chzz ► 04:37, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
I would just like to check that you think this is all right. I've referenced where published articles can be read and I hope that noteablity is also demonstrated by his contribution to drug research - which is verifiable by the published articles. I hope that noteability is further demonstrated by the co-authoring of book for doctors and other professionasl to help them manage stress, which is being re-printed having sold over 50,000 copies.
Please do let me know if it needs more information or any other ways to improve it - thanks in advance!

- I've reformatted it quite a lot; please see WP:CITE. Do not use '''bold''' throughout the document; and you should use == Section headings like this == and === Subsections like this === instead of <big> etc. Use asterisks (*) for bullet-point lists (but keep those to a minimum). See WP:CHEATSHEET.
- The list of publications is far too long; it should be trimmed down to an appropriate sample, and preferably formed into the prose; Wikipedia is not a directory, and even articles on prolific authors do not have such a long list.
- Several sections lack references to reliable sources, for example "Career history" and "Other positions" - information that cannot be referenced should be removed, see WP:V.
- Please look at good articles for further help with the layout. Chzz ► 04:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Wiki newbie here, looking to get better at crafting a good article - any feedback is appreciated.

- Requires independent reliable sources such as newspapers; information must be verifiable. See WP:VRS, WP:GNG. You need to present facts from e.g. newspapers/books. For help with formatting that, see WP:CITE. Chzz ► 04:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Most articles are in Indonesian language as can be seen by the Indonesian Wikipedia entry on the subject.

- It needs additional references - at least a couple - to e.g. books or newspaper articles; see WP:GNG. Chzz ► 04:58, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
A new article about a Maine author I would like to get some feedback on. This is my first article, so I especially would like feedback on the content and how it meshes with Wikipedia's standards.

- Currently, I think it might be in danger of deletion as it doesn't really show "significant coverage" - see WP:GNG and WP:BIO. The facts cannot be verified in reliable sources e.g. born Nov. 10, 1946[citation needed] journalism degree from the University of Maine in 1974[citation needed] U.S. Army Security Agency (1965-69)[citation needed] intelligence analyst in South Vietnam and Ethiopia[citation needed] Married with two grown sons,[citation needed] lives in Topsham, Maine[citation needed] etc. Chzz ► 05:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

New article about a U.S. congressional candidate from New York.

- I removed the children's names, see WP:NPF - plus, they don't help with understanding the article.
- When you use the same reference more than once, you can 'name' it, like this.
- You should not have an external link within the body text (Securing the State); they should only be in == External links == at the end; see WP:EL.
- Please do not link dates, such as 1st April. Those links do not help with understanding the article.
- I fixed a few misc. formatting issues, and removed the 'unreviewed' tag. Chzz ► 05:24, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't see this before so I reverted your changes regarding the family names-but the reason I included the names is because they are widely known(mentioned in the candidates bio on his ::site, in news articles and have been in tv spots for him as well) and I have observed similar politicians pages mention names of spouses/kids, including his opponent Scott Murphy Personal life.
- I appreciate your other changes though, thank you for the help!

This is my first article. I would be most grateful if someone could confirm if my prospective contribution is suitable enough to be published :

Thanks and regards.

- It's fine; I think it just about meets notability requirements, although it is unlikely to be expanded much. It would be nice if it could be a little bit longer.
- I've tidied up the references a little, to avoid showing the URLs, by putting e.g.
[http://www.google.com This is Google]- which produces: This is Google
- Apart from that...yes, it is OK to move to a live article (in my opinion). がんばって. Chzz ► 05:34, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
