You seem to be going good so far :) Mujinga (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi Mujinga! Hope all is well. Just wanted to let you know that I submitted an article for review. If you have the time, I would appreciate if you would review it and offer any advice or revisions/suggestions you may have. Thank you! Dubai Writer (talk) 08:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Here is the link to the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Abdulsalam_Al_Madani Dubai Writer (talk) 08:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hiya I don't review new articles but I can certainly offer comments:
  • Every paragraph needs at least one citation, more if necessary, since everything in the article body should be referenced. The lead at the top of the article should summarise what is below in the article body so does not itself need citations per MOS:LEAD since everything in the lead should be cited below. Hope that makes sense! Right now you have three citations on the lead but the first two paragraphs in the body (beginning "Dr. Al Madani was born ..." and "In 1999, Dr. Al Madani earned...") appear uncited. Same for the personal life section.
  • You say on your talk you have a conflict of interest regarding Abdulsalam Al Madani - good that you say this, you should also say this at Draft_talk:Abdulsalam_Al_Madani and if it is actually you, probably it would be better to leave the writing of the article to others.
  • On a quick look the subject does appear to be notable, with significant coverage in reliable sources so that's good!
  • You can use sources written in languages other than english, but it's also great to have found coverage in english.
  • It can be frustrating but you may have to wait some time for your article to be reviewed since there is a backlog and everyone is a volunteer. At least you can approve improve it in the meantime (currently the referecing issues mean that I doubt it would be approved).
Hope that helps, Mujinga (talk) 09:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much for your comments, much appreciated! Dubai Writer (talk) 10:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, I assure that I am not the subject. I joined as a contributor because I love Wikipedia and I'm hoping to add notable figures and organizations from my home city :) Dubai Writer (talk) 10:12, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
That's very cool! The more people add information from outside Europe and North America the more we all benefit in my opinion :) Mujinga (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
