In this article, I am showing the generic information which is helpful for students and their parents who wants to study abroad and how they can avail this opportunity from KC Overseas Education.

Swatiysahu That is the definition of advertising, and why your draft was rejected and will not be considered further. If you work for this organization, you must per the Terms of Use declare as a paid editor. 331dot (talk) 10:48, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Swatiysahu Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. See WP:NOTHOWTO. Also, always a concern of mine, would you keep this up to date for the next few decades? Info like this tends to get out of date and then stay out of date. The kind of articles that WP prefers are not as subject to "becoming incorrect" as time passes. Hope this helps. 73.127.147.187 (talk) 12:00, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Peter Felt (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am unclear as to why this page Draft: Peter Felt was not approved and this page, Throope Chapman, was Throope Chapman

The Peter Felt page has many more sources than the Throope Chapman page, and shows significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject, unlike the Throope Chapman page.

Thank you.

Binx1966 Be wary in citing something in another article as a reason for something in your draft, see other stuff exists. It could be that this other article is also inappropriate and simply has not been addressed yet. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate content to get past us. If you want to use another article as a model, make sure it is classified as a good article. 331dot (talk) 13:08, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft reads like a family history project, not an encyclopaedia article it also begins with details about a house rather than him, which confuses the reviewers. Theroadislong (talk) 13:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frangle (talk) 16:38, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found the submitting process often confusing. Also I don't see any way to edit the text I uploaded on author Patricia Volk--it eliminated paragraph breaks, for one thing, and I can't add notes. Also I wasn't sure about the title, so at the moment it has my name, Jan Swafford, when it should be Patricia Volk. Please advise.

Draft:Doomocracy (band)

Hi. i wrote the Doomocracy (band) draft.

It got rejected due to copyright reasons. WHAT exactly is the copyright here? The band's site that has all the info from which I took the information? Guess what... I WROTE THAT TOO.

You think I steal myself? Then tell me how to do this.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milekaki12 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your website http://www.doomocracy.com explicitly states at the bottom “COPYRIGHT © 2014-2022 DOOMOCRACY” You would need to change this to a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Theroadislong (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Milekaki12: Wikipedia uses an irrevocable copyright licence that is completely incompatible with standard all-rights-reserved copyright. This is why we cannot use content you wrote for other websites. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 19:52, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Milekaki12: Your article draft doesn’t contain enough sourcing to demonstrate notability, as defined by Wikipedia. You need to find independent media coverage. Think about it - if all there is is only known by you, they don’t seem to be well known enough. See WP:GNG. TechnoTalk (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm trying to publish a page about a road safety index which is a research project that we're working on. My request for publishing the page has rejected and I wonder why? thanks. Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet (talk) 19:52, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet: No sources, no article, no debate. We also do not accept research essays as we are an encyclopaedia project. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 19:54, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand but if you read the text, you understand that we're trying to introduce a new safety index which is an encyclopaedia project.

What are the terms to making it published? Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet (talk) 20:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet: You can't. That is what rejected means. Wikipedia is not the place to introduce your index to the world. If independent reliable sources take note of your index and give it significant coverage, it may merit an article that summarizes that coverage. Have you read WP:COI and WP:PAID? 331dot (talk) 20:07, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for you response.

I've read WP:COI and I don't see any conflict of interest in this case. I'd be appreciate it if you can make it clear for me if you see COI.

And regarding WP:PAID, I've written that who made this index on behalf of which company. Do I need to clarify it more? :) Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet (talk) 20:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your user name is Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet. That's also the name of a division at AFRY, so the COI is crystal clear. What do you mean by "I've written that who made this index on behalf of which company."? (Are you using Google Translate? The sentence is garbled nonsense in English, but running it through GTranslate results in a perfectly good sentence in Swedish. Please do not use machine translations in Wikipedia – it is pretty rude to your fellow Wikipedia editors. --bonadea contributions talk 21:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use google translate at all! I think humiliating people because of their language skills is rude!

By this sentence: "I've written that who made this index on behalf of which company." I meant that the FIA RS Index is developed by AFRY but the request for developing it is from FIA federation. Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet (talk) 06:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Samhällsutveckling och Mobilitet: This doesn't change the fact that Wikipedia is not the venue for publishing novel research or to try and publicise something. That just is not how an encyclopaedia works. Published sources that have already discussed the topic are a hard requirement for us to even consider having an article, and even with sources we wouldn't accept novel research like this as it's out-of-scope. I would suggest that whoever's asking you to do this has a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia actually is.

And bonadea's not trying to humiliate you or belittle your language skills. That sentence they pointed out is basically word salad in English, and it definitely sounds like something automated translation would generate. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 06:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
