02:40:06, 30 November 2020 review of submission by Goodlug

[edit]


I am working on an English version of a Chinese page. Everything is translated from Chinese directly. As the Chinese version has already been published, I wonder why my submission of English version is declined.

Please see WP:OSE. The chinese Wikipedia is a seperate Wikipedia with (possibly) seperate rules. Victor Schmidt mobil (talk) 07:29, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Give Me Some Advice, Spicy? Then I Will Try To Fix It. AnonUser0413 (talk) 14:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AnonUser0413, We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 14:22, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14:25:21, 30 November 2020 review of draft by Boating-bernard

[edit]


I am new to doing anything like this. I am also 75 years old and don't necessarily understand all your instructions, for which I apologise. I believe I have independent sources of information about my subject (Arthur Keene, Van Art) from the Coventry Evening Telegraph archives. Unfortunately they are now in the hands of 'Find My Past' the genealogical site, who charge £160 to join. I think I can obtain the same information from the Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry, but not until the Covid 19 restrictions are over! So I have two questions 1. Is this sort of information likely to provide you with the evidence you require? 2. Will you wait until I can access this information? Boating-bernard (talk) 14:25, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:26:03, 30 November 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Gabriellainberlin

[edit]


I would need help with the creation of my article. It is the biography of the German choreographer Christoph Winkler. His biography can be found on his website or on dance websites in Germany. How can I do it? I have to quote the web source in case I use phrases taken from these sources. please, what is the right template? Furthermore, I have a number of articles published in magazines that I have translated, but they are in my personal archive. How do I insert them? I can create the entry: "Reviews". Thanks for your help, my article has been deleted due to copyright infringement. It was not my intention, I would like to understand how to do it. --Gabriellainberlin (talk) 14:26, 30 November 2020 (UTC) Gabriellainberlin (talk) 14:26, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriellainberlin: Wikipedia is mainly based on what reliable independent sources choosed to write about a subject. Private archies are not usefull here, as they cannot be verified. Sources in other languages are perfectly acceptable, as long as they are reliable and independent]]. As for copyright, I have added some information about that to your user talk page. As a matter of thumb: Never, realy never copy text onto Wikipedia, with the exception of quotes of maybe atmost one or two sentences, which are directly marked as a quote. Even if we could get the legal stuff resolved, 99% of the text not written for Wikipedia are also unsiutable for Wikipedia. Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:03, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

16:01:02, 30 November 2020 review of submission by Gabriele Cusimano

[edit]

Dear Sir, Madam, I have recently submitted a draft for an Article on The State of the Union, an annual event organised by the European University Institute. It was the first time for me, and, although I though I had carefully followed your guidelines and instructions, my submission was denied by Amkgp because "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations". I would be glad if you could give me some more details or feedback on how I can make this article acceptable for publication, as I understand that the rest of my draft was acceptable. With kind regards, Gabriele Gabriele Cusimano (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriele Cusimano: Hi there, you should probably see Referencing for Beginners. But pick any article, let's say Amitabh Bachchan. Notice how in the infobox, in the lede, and in the body of the article you find statements with subscripted links? That's because while building the article, editors added "inline references" after each statement made.
Amitabh Bachchan (born Inquilaab Srivastava;[1] 11 October 1942[2]) is an Indian film actor, film producer, television host, occasional playback singer and former politician.[3]
When these are added to the article, they will be propagated into the References section after a {{reflist}} template is added, which I have done for you in the State of the Union article. So references would appear at bottom like this:

References

  1. ^ James, Anu (25 February 2015). "Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Katrina Kaif and Other Bollywood Celebs Who Changed Their Names [PHOTOS]". Retrieved 21 July 2018.
  2. ^ Dedhia, Sonil (7 October 2012). "Amitabh Bachchan: No resolutions for my birthday". Rediff. Retrieved 9 October 2019. On October 2, the superstar took time out to give interviews to the media, as celebrations for his 70th birthday on October 11[, 2012,] started picking up
  3. ^ https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/amitabh-bachchan-politician-regret-3034184/
To re-use a reference, you should give it a name: <ref name="Birthdate">http://sampleurl.com</ref> After placing that into the article, if you wanted to re-use that reference, you could just add the shortcut <ref name="Birthdate" /> at the end of sentences that are supported by that reference.
Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:28, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


First of all thanks for helping me in advance, now this is my first article on wikipedia so i dont want it to be deleted this article was declined by Theroadislong user stating the following reasons for the declination "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you."

Farooque Azm (talk) 17:55, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Farooque Azm: See the help request directly above this one, where I explain how to add inline citations. However, your obstacle will be much bigger, since there are only two references in the article. The Telegraph India article doesn't mention Syed Aaraf Ashraf, so it's entirely useless in determining general notability, and the other reference is a primary source, which only proves that he works with AIBA. It doesn't do anything to determine that the subject is notable, since we require independent sources. The bulk of the content doesn't really tell me anything about this person or why they are notable. In fact, much of it just reads like an opinion piece. Anyway, you need to read our General Notability Guideline and do your best to demonstrate that the subject has received significant coverage (not passing mentions, but in-detail writing about him) in reliable secondary sources (mainstream news sites, for instance, not blogs or random websites) that are independent of the subject (no interviews, not his personal website, not the AIBA's website, etc.) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:07, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

21:43:49, 30 November 2020 review of draft by Raindi Staw

[edit]


I would like to ask how can I apply my own photos to the article I am writing. I have applied some through the INSERT option, but it appears that I have no permission to publish them. How can I make those photos valid and visible?

Raindi Staw (talk) 21:43, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forget the photo, the draft has more pressing issues than the position of its deck chairs. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 21:51, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneKononenkov: Sorry, but Wikipedia is not the place to memorialise people who have helped you in life. We only care about subjects that are notable, as defined by our General Notability Guideline. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
