00:51, 16 September 2024 review of submission by SCAFP213

[edit]

The person who edited this Goodfellow Bros. entry said that there were citing errors. But the citing looks correct. Instead of using "foo," I used multiple 1, etc. because there was not just one multiple. I couldn't call every multiple citing "foo." Please explain why this is incorrect. Also, the article is worthy of a wikipedia entry. It is a 100-year old company that was instrumental in the development of the region. It is every bit as worthy as an entry like that of a similar company Kiewit: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Kiewit_Corporation. The references are in-depth, reliable, secondary and strictly independent of the subject. I think it's irresponsible and arbitrary to reject this entry.

If you scroll to the bottom of the draft, you'll see the text Cite error: The named reference "multiple 1" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page). Click on the link to the help page – it explains what's wrong and how to fix it. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

02:19, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Rafael Daiki Ando

[edit]

Good night! I rewrote the International Economics Olympiad article and would like to know if it is good now. If not, could you provide more information about what is expected from the article? Thank you! Rafael Daiki Ando (talk) 02:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft was rejected by @Star Mississippi in January, with the comment Despite multiple attempts over the years, it does not appear there has ever been sufficient coverage to establish notability. "Rejected" means that it cannot be resubmitted.
If you believe that there is relevant coverage (that meets all the criteria in WP:42) that was either not found in January or has been published since, you need to ask Star Mississippi to reconsider it. But please do not do so unless you are sure that the sources are now adequate for Wikipedia. ColinFine (talk) 09:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks @ColinFine. My opinion remains the same but if another reviewer sees things differently,happy to revisit. Star Mississippi 02:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

04:34, 16 September 2024 review of submission by High Admiral JMT

[edit]

I see that almost every named storm had a list. Pulasan is a new name and one storm just formed with this name. The material is similar to all other lists. Why then is it rejected? High Admiral JMT (talk) 04:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@High Admiral JMT: this draft was declined (not 'rejected') because the subject is not notable. It's also not much of a list, if you only have a single item, which begs the question why create a list article on a non-list, especially when that single item already has an article of its own. (And no, "almost every named storm ha[ving] a list" is not a valid reason.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

04:49, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Linaa06

[edit]

Hi, I'm struggling with how to find reliable source for my company introduction page in Wikipedia platform. Our company is quite new, so the only thing we get is the document, links from our company sites, PR articles and some social post with others parners.

May I ask about what we can consider as a reliable source for a new business like my company?

Thank you so much Linaa06 (talk) 04:49, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Linaa06: I don't know what company, or what draft, you're talking about, but by the sound of things it's unlikely to be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Also, just to say that there are no "company introduction pages" here. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a business directory. We publish encyclopaedic articles on subjects which are notable. If you wish to tell the world about your business, you need to find a different platform such as LinkedIn etc. Note also that promotion of any kind is not allowed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most companies (like most people, most bands, most charities, most schools, most streets, etc) have not been written about sufficiently to meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and so cannot currently have articles about them in Wikipedia. ColinFine (talk) 09:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

05:59, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Pat Moller

[edit]

I want to request to rename this page from 'ResourceCO' to 'ResourceCo' to correct the capitalisation of the company name. Pat Moller (talk) 05:59, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pat Moller: done. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pat Moller: Though given the draft is highly promotional, you're basically just putting a new coat of paint on a condemned house. What is your connexion with ResourceCo? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:34, 16 September 2024 review of submission by VvS77qq

[edit]

I removed the trivia section as suggested. Unfortunately I have problems with the commented "several unsourced statements". I tried to give references to all claims/statements. If I hadn't any, I did not publish the corresponding parts. So, I really tried to be as precise as possible - not giving at least an example of "several unsourced statements" does not help me in improving the article and seems just like a "copy-paste-argument". Any help or hint on this is highly appreciated! VvS77qq (talk) 08:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VvS77qq: I count at least a dozen paragraphs, in other words the majority of the draft contents, without any referencing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:16, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

08:36, 16 September 2024 review of submission by High Admiral JMT

[edit]

I think we still need this page, as currently I see that it is almost inevitable that more storms named Pulasan will develop, in 2030 and possibly in 2036, 2042, etc. I think we need this page for the present, as it will develop. High Admiral JMT (talk) 08:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When new storms are given that name, and there is material published about storms called Pulasan (not just about individual storms) then it is possible that there can be a Wikipedia list. We do not published articles because they may be useful in the future. See WP:TOOSOON. ColinFine (talk) 09:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

10:55, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Timashaedirisinghe

[edit]

Dear sir, kindly note that i have been experiencing difficulties when editing my wiki page kindly help me.i have been publishing my new edits but it doesnt appear on google as newly edited information sir.i think i have been mistakenly editing wikipedia page incorrectly thats why .kindly help me sir Timashaedirisinghe (talk) 10:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Timashaedirisinghe: your draft has not been published yet, it was declined by the reviewer. Search engines cannot see unpublished drafts, that's why it won't appear on Google.
What is your relationship to the subject of your draft? I've posted a message on your talk page about conflicts of interest, please read and respond to it. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:02, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear sir, Im unrelated to the subject she is a television presenter in srilanka and she is a celebrity as she has won the 4th runner up title at Miss rilanka universe 2007 pageant and works as an actress and a Televion presenter. and represented srilanka in india as an actress.the purpose of this article is to give her respect as an achiever who has achieved so many things since her young age which she still does . Timashaedirisinghe (talk) 06:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Timashaedirisinghe: so the fact that her name and your user name both have 'Edirisinghe' in them is just a coincidence? Also, you've included a lot of personal details in your draft which don't seem to come from any of the sources listed, so where did you get all that information from? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear sir, yes the reason im interested in her achievements is also the same "Edirisinghe" name as i also has the same username as mine is also the same name and it is a coincidence .this name is a very common name here . The personal details are from magazines in srilanka she is quite famous here and all the celebs information mentioned in magazines. apologies if i had been updating incorrectly sir. Timashaedirisinghe (talk) 15:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you get your information from magazines you need to be properly citing those sources, even if they are not online. See referencing for beginners. YouTube and Facebook are not valid sources. 331dot (talk) 15:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:27, 16 September 2024 review of submission by Viljowf

[edit]

In my view, the author has addressed the previous comments adequately. There are numerous sources citing reviews of an important scholarly work on South African music history. An entire thesis chapter is dedicated to the subject.If an entry on the Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Australian_Rock_and_Pop#:~:text=The%20Encyclopedia%20of%20Australian%20Rock,but%20is%20not%20otherwise%20relates qualifies, surely this one does too. Viljowf (talk) 14:27, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I agree, and pretty much said so when this was raised here last month. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The range of coverage from South African Journal of Musicology, The Musical Times, and African Affairs, all notable publications in their own right, seem more than adequate for a reference work like this. I would resubmit it myself if it wasn't rejected. Reconrabbit 19:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

14:33, 16 September 2024 review of submission by 2001:56A:70F6:CF00:A9F0:F7FD:4B62:7310

[edit]

I helped a friend write this page and it keeps getting declined, can anyone help me with how to update it appropriately? It's my first time! 2001:56A:70F6:CF00:A9F0:F7FD:4B62:7310 (talk) 14:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your sources are a mix of passing mentions, the subject commenting on things, and primary sources. For notability per [{WP:GNG]], we need to see multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent (of the subject, and of each other) and reliable, and provide significant coverage directly of the subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:01, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
