Sourcing questions

EDIT: Uh, nevermind I guess I passed review so I guess my sources were ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urchincrawler (talk • contribs) 04:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm working on this draft, but it's the first article I've created that's medicine related. I tried to use reliable sources (NHS, stuff from PubMed, NIH, etc.), but there are some cases where I used non medical sources. In the history section, I used a law journal, in the advocacy section I linked to some advocacy groups to prove that advocacy supported those positions, and in the nomenclature section I provided some arguments on why parents of intersex people may prefer DSD using a paper writing by a professor with an interest in intersex topics. Is that ok? Or do all sources have to be medical even for more historical and social info?

Additionally, I was wondering if more local government health departments would be acceptable sources, or does it have to be strictly national sources like the NHS and CDC. For example, I used a document from the State of Victoria Department of Health and Human Services. Is that ok?

Ultimately I'd just really appreciate if someone could take a quick look through my sources since I want to make sure it's up to par. Thanks.

hi, can you help me with this, I want to write in wikipidia, this is a new phone brand am currently using when I search on wiki I didn't find about it that why I added this brand, is the details I given wrong or the writing style of mine is wrong , what is the issue, can you help me with this Ribinshad (talk) 06:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ribinshad: the draft is very promotional and offers no evidence that the subject is notable in Wikipedia terms.

And once a draft has been rejected (as opposed to merely declined) you shouldn't resubmit it anymore. You may discuss the rejection with the reviewer who rejected it, but looks like you haven't done that.

Do you have a relationship of some kind with this business? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:32, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please advise what other things do you expect for acceptance. All the information provided has a sufficient external link and I am surprised that this is rejected. Apnswami (talk) 09:23, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing more you can do, rejection means that resubmission is not possible at this time. Note that autobiographical articles are highly discouraged, please read the autobiography policy. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell about themselves. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Apnswami: Refer to my /Decode subpage (linked in my signature as "critiques"):

https://www.sriahobilamuttmysore.in/ap.html is 404-compliant.
https://www.thehindu.com/society/faith/echoes-of-the-divine-bell/article30809577.ece is useless for notability (too sparse). Name-drop, no discussion of APN Swami.
I can't assess https://dhinasari.com/spiritual-section/84499-yamunai-thuraivar-thirumuttram-part-1-historic-tamil-novel-by-sri-apn-swami-on-atthi-varadhar-and-kanchi-brahmothsavam.html (language barrier). Google Translate does not work.
https://www.indica.today/research/conference/rasanubhava-of-kanchi-varadaraja-perumal-brahmotsavam/ is a non-sequitur. (A source that does not so much as mention the subject of an article can't be used as a source on that subject.)
We can't use https://tnrajbhavantour.tn.gov.in/tnrb-website-archive/Archives/Website1621/Speeches/2018/Sp080718-2.pdf (gov't document) and even if we could it'd be useless for notability (too sparse).

None of your sources that I can assess are any good, which is why the draft has been rejected for failure to address reviewers' concerns and will not be considered further. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 18:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kshitij Vats 001: you submitted this a week ago. Don't know if you noticed, but it says on top of the draft "This may take 4 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,594 pending submissions waiting for review." Please be patient. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:53, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to know what this message from the article reviewer means.....not clear how they pass WP:NACTOR?.

Is it regarding the hyperlinks i used or citations i gave?? Shaansaren (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shaansaren! I think your main problem is that your draft is only a couple of sentences long, and tells us almost nothing about your subject. Your sources are also both interviews, which we don't accept as evidence of notability. Have you read through Your First Article? If not, I suggest you start there. If you've read that, then move on to WP:NACTOR (which will tell you what we're looking for to establish an actor is notable) and WP:42, our 'golden rule' for sources (which will tell you what you need in a source). Good luck and happy editing! StartGrammarTime (talk) 04:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
