01:22:22, 12 May 2021 review of draft by 71.187.40.39

[edit]


I don't understand why my submission was rejected. 71.187.40.39 (talk) 01:22, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am at a loss as to why this entry was declined: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Jeff_Burger As far as I can tell, it sticks to the facts, does not read like an advertisement, and is written in a neutral tone. Moreover, it cites numerous reputable sources, such as Who's Who, The New Yorker, etc. I'd be grateful for any guidance.

The sources you have offered cite what he has done, but are not about him personally. A subject must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources to merit an article. 331dot (talk) 09:31, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Darveshpur You don't ask a question. You have a draft pending, but it is not in English and will be quickly declined- contributions to the English Wikipedia need to be in English. There is likely a version of Wikipedia in your primary language if that's what you are looking for. 331dot (talk) 09:33, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello, I want to know why my article keeps on getting declined over and over again. I have tried to cite as many sources as I can that are "verifiable" but it's hard because I can't find that much reliable and trustable sources about the subject. I've also tried to update and improve my draft with the help from some Wikipedia help articles. I feel like my draft is good enough to become a Wikipedia article. Can anyone explain and help me about this problem? TrisAdler (talk) 11:32, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Darveshpur: You didn't ask a question AGAIN and you didn't address the concerns told to you in your last post and on your article declined message. Any further requests here without any sort of question or improvement on the issues will be reverted. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 13:33, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Harsha666d: your draft has already been reviewed and outright rejected, this means it will not be considered any further as the topic is not notable and the article is in fact partially if not totally fabricated as I highly doubt they are India's first film producer only making a film in 2020 and at the age of 14. This is not the place to write about these things. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I am requesting assistance because my submission was denied. The reason I received was it appeared more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article and I need guidance on what needs to be updated to have my entry approved. In addition, I would like to confirm that my pagename is "Save The Duck" even though the title at the top of the page is listed with my username and "sandbox". It currently reads: "User:SVDUSA/sandbox". SVDUSA (talk) 14:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SVDUSA If the draft is ever accepted, the reviewer will place it at the proper title. You have summarized what the company does. Wikipedia articles must do more, they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. That does not include announcements of niche awards, announcements of routine business activities, or other basic coverage. Please see Your first article.
If you represent the company, you must read about conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures. If your username has abbreviated the company name, you will need to change it at Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS. 331dot (talk) 15:33, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


Hello My Draft article “Iconography of Correlations” not currently submitted for review. I have a diagnostic: “Expression error: Unrecognized word "iconography".” I don’t understand this diagnostic. What do I need to do to get my article submitted. Thanking you in advance Olgreenwood Olgreenwood (talk) 15:40, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Olgreenwood (talk) 15:40, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Olgreenwood: I have found & fixed the issiue here. The issue was that in one ref you used {{number|19}}, presumably in an attempt to display an episode number or something. However, {{Number}} is actually a shortcut for the template {{Infobox number}}, which has a whole different purpose, and is only to be inserted on pages about numbers such as 42, causing the template to throw errors because it wasn't. Victor Schmidt (talk) 18:23, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that Victor Schmidt, I puzzled over that for some time! Theroadislong (talk) 21:34, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I actually too. The trick with that ine was that I used the VisualEditor to find the offending ref, because it is much easier there to find out which template is responsible for which output, even inside refs. The ability of the VE to preview refs was actually quite usefull there, because it allows you to check each ref until you found the one with the wrong template call.
