03:52:13, 29 July 2019 review of submission by 97.115.3.184

[edit]


I've added the first two rounds of matches for this competition. The third round of matches will be drawn after the second round completes in mid-September. There is no longer anything speculative or unfinished here, this is am important annual event in the English football pyramid for small community clubs.

The reviewer commented, "lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources". The draft still cites a single, non-independent source, thefa.com. If the competition is being discussed only by the organizer of the competition, then the topic isn't suitable for Wikipedia, and discussion of it should remain on thefa.com. If the competition is as important as you suggest, than it should be easy for you to cite three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of it. --Worldbruce (talk) 11:14, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lethgawd: - the draft had no sources and did not appear like to be able to gain those references either. As such, the reviewer was right to reject it for failing notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hi, I am writing in regards to the request for 'Connexin Ltd.' page being denied. In Hull, the broadband industry is highly dominated by KCOM (who you have granted a page to) this is due to them buying and owning all the fibre lines in the city. It is not commonly known that there are other broadband providers available - after living in Hull myself for years I was shocked to find out I could receive broadband from a different company and when researching online it was evident that these companies were not publicised online. Connexin is a large company and is now more known to the public, I think it is fair that they should have a Wikipedia page like KCOM does. I have now been a customer of Connexin for a couple of years and I want to make sure that people are aware that there are other options available to them. I will also be contributing by creating a page for 'Pure Broadband' as they are the only other company, along with Connexin, that provides Broadband in Hull. I do not think it is fair or right that many people like me are not aware that we can pay significantly less for broadband in Hull - the only reason I was originally put off switching providers was because of the lack of publication online. It seems this has changed and now Connexin has had more coverage in general media - even holding their own events in Hull but Wikipedia is the only website that now does not cover them. I hope to see that the page is granted soon, and also hope this will be taken into consideration when I create 'Pure Broadband's page. Thank you!

Kind regards, Sarah Sullivan

Sarahsullivan2009 Your draft has zero reliable sources and totally inappropriate content eg. "Connexin has the vision to reinvent how we communicate using the Internet." Do you work for them by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 08:26, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I've tried to rewrite Endel ( company) article, regarding submission comments about ARTSPAM, but I don't understand, how should I rewrite page, to make it more clear to user's view. Can I get some help from experts? Where exactly it seems, that there is my point of view? Ch3rn1k (talk) 09:13, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ch3rn1k The draft is not written in a neutral tone eg. "historic deal", " soothing, and physiologically natural soundscapes", "esteemed psychologist,", ""truly endless applications", "celebrated neoclassical composer". Theroadislong (talk) 09:51, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:19:46, 29 July 2019 review of submission by Anastasi yes

[edit]


Unfortunately, I can't understand clearly why the article have problems with the references. Could someone help me to solve this problem? Thank you in advance!

Hi Anastasi yes, what problem do you mean? There's no error message or reviewer note about the references. Yes the references are mostly bare URLs but that is a minor issue that's easy to fix, I'll do it right now. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:36, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

18:03:05, 29 July 2019 review of draft by Reinhard-G-Mueller

[edit]


This article was declined because it does not have enough citations. Unfortunately, since this article is about a person, Prof. Werner Stegmaier, the only source that exists about his biography is the German Wikipedia page (there is nothing printed). My draft page is a translation of the German Wikipedia page. Is this sufficient as a source?

Thank you!

Reinhard-G-Mueller (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Reinhard-G-Mueller: Wikipedia cannot use user-generated sources, such as other language Wikipedias. In short, this is because they are not reliable -- anyone can edit them. We need reliable third-party sources for this, especially so for biographies. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 19:40, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

23:51:54, 29 July 2019 review of draft by Lrichman

[edit]


I'm trying to submit an article about Dr. Fitzhugh Mullan, but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. I clicked "Publish page..." in the top right corner after writing an article with embedded links and citations. I was then sent a message that said "Draft article not currently submitted for review," so I clicked the blue box that said "Submit your draft for review!" in the bottom right corner of that message, but I was then shown the same message. What can I do differently? Thanks so much.

Lrichman (talk) 23:51, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lrichman. The draft has not been submitted. To submit it, go to Draft:Fitzhugh Mullan and, while on the "Read" tab, without entering the editor, click the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button in the big gray box. That will put you into the source editor, which may look strange if you're accustomed to using the visual editor. There will not be a "Publish changes..." button at the top right corner, but there will be one at the bottom left, if you scroll all the way down. Click that button to finalize your submission. I haven't submitted the draft on your behalf because reviewers would decline it in its current state.
Of the draft's 13 sources, only 2 (Smitherman 2009 and Ficklen 2009) are not written/edited by Mullan, and Smitherman doesn't mention Mullan. Wikipedia doesn't much care what someone says about themselves. The bulk of an article should come from independent sources, but less than 5% of the draft is from independent sources. His being an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine cites no source. Many other details don't cite any sources, which makes one wonder if you can write about his grandfather, father, where he grew up, where he went to school, etc. because you have some close connection to him outside of Wikipedia, perhaps as a colleague or family member.
Finally, although this would not cause the draft to be declined, external links - ones that take the reader away from Wikipedia - are not allowed in the text. The dozen or so in the draft must be removed, converted into references if they support content about Mullan, or moved to and "External links" section at the end if allowed by the guidelines for such links. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
